Movies can sometimes get too far into a culture, I think. It’s part of that whole art immitating life immitating art thing, right? Well . . .
There is this church, in Wales, called the Jedi church. It was founded based on the religion of the main characters in “Star Wars”. The church actually has about thirty members. Apparently, on the 2001 UK Census, thousands of people listed Jedi as their official religion. Who even knew there was such a thing?
However, it made the news after a man attacked its founders while wearing a Darth Vader costume. The man was spared jail time, but actually assaulted some people. Admittedly, he was drunk, but still. . .
Couldn’t you just see your friends getting drunk and doing that?
Well, maybe I just have weird friends . . .
