Meh, the whole Jedi religion thing started when people who didn't believe in any particular religion put Jedi in their Census Forms.

I however wrote "OK" in the space where it says "Do not write on this space!"

I love simpsons..

lol well it does sound interesting, truth be told for a joke just this week we had a quiz type sheet thing given to us in school and i put my faith as Jedi :eek:
but seriously i think its cool, and we should defernatly declair it an "offical world faith", people these days are always saing that everyone can believe what they want and (hopefully) not have the piss taken out of them. but that wouldnt be true if they didnt make it an offical faith... i think :P

I read a much older article that came out right after ep1 did...and it wasnt about a jedi religion BUT it did say in the article george lucas used aspects of many religions to make the jedi order...he himself said he wanted to show people there was a god but in a "modern" way..(he says soemthin to that extent in this article too) u can see by the robes the jedi obi wan and quigonn wore are similiar to a sect of christianity..(i think itz roman catholic...dunno...i actually met couple of these guyz..had BIG crosses and dressed in similiar robes..they were preists)...Naboo's architecture was inspired by ottoman empire...may the force be with u is similiar to muslims's may peace be with u..and then the aspects of the LIVING force and UNIFYING force is similair to Tao and Zen, respectively.

HOWEVER i DOUBT george wanted to create a NEW religion.

Yea, I started hearing about the religion thing when ppl in Austrailia called it their religion in the census heh. The principles of the Jedi way come from a variety of religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. Its philosophy is based off a philosopher named Joseph Campbell who influenced Lucas greatly while he made the Star Wars original trilogy.

Theres a better link I found somewhere else, if I find it, I'll let yall know.

Star Wars as a real religion? Sounds kinda funny :D

Altho the Jedi way of life is a good (and cool! :cool: ) one :)
