Being a 'Jedi Knight' Most Popular Alternative Religion in the UK

Star Wars seems to be more powerful than we have ever imagined. Move over Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and all you other mainstream excuses to live like you know what's what. The 'force' is starting to replace 'faith'. I know what you are wondering 'What would God Jedi's lightsaber color be?'

"Today's Census figures show that 176,632 people in England and Wales identify themselves as Jedi Knights, making it the most popular faith in the "Other Religions" category on the Census and the seventh most popular faith overall."

Trivia: The second place most popular alternative religion is Heavy Metal.

Shocking Found Footage of George Lucas Killing Star Wars

"This shocking VHS footage was discovered inside the case of a clamshell copy of The Little Mermaid purchased from a Goodwill in Gary, Indiana. It seems to depict a person who may or may not be George Lucas traveling around the world and destroying as many VHS copies of the original Star Wars trilogy as he can."

Now, mind you this footage is a BIT old (yes, it has VHS tapes) but somehow given the current climate of LucasArts and Disney, this unearthed video by redlettermedia seems all too fitting.
