"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
23 January 2008I find their lack of licensing disturbingYou have to wonder what George Lucas must be thinking right about now:
Two Star Wars-loving brothers planning a Jedi church hope it will be much nearer than a galaxy far, far away.
Barney and Daniel Jones want fellow devotees to be able to join them close to their home on Anglesey. Barney, 26 — or Master Jonba Hehol — and Daniel, 21 — Master Morda Hehol — head the UK Church of the Jedi, in honour of the film's good knights. They say their services will include sermons on "the Force," light sabre training, and meditation techniques. For this to work, contact with the likes of Jar Jar Binks must be strictly forbidden.

I don't recall all of the advice (a lot of it was pretty monumentally obvious in the sense of "You don't know this already, and yet you are still alive?"), but I do remember one statement that stood out: "Be very suspicious of religious movements that are less than 150 years old." Or, I suppose, based on a fictional series of movies.
