I saw that too, George Lucas created the Jedis based on Shaolin monks philosophy, and history. The Jedis were all killed, and only a few survived in the movie, and that happened with the shaolin monks too.
Originally posted by BicnarokOfficials from the British Office for National Statistics have pointed out that just because "Jedi Knight" has been given its own code, that does not confer on it the status of official recognition. It merely means that it has been registered as a common answer to the "religion" statistic.
In the UK it is, in a census a couple of years back there were arround 330,000 Jedi knights registered. There are more Jedi´s in the UK than Jews.It could have somthing to do with the UK´s fight against big brother though

they are peaceful men but they can fight same like jedis
they are respected in china like jedis are respected in republic
shaolin monk has ki
jedi has the force
I would lean more to the yojimbos and shoguns from Japan as the inspiration of the Jedis. I will grant you that Lucas most likely stole the idea from Eastern martial arts involving Chi. Which obviously he calls "The Force".
Of course they aren't accepted, there religion makes no sense its based on a fairy tale without any prove for it, and although you could argue that the other religions are that too, you could at least say they were thought of in a time where religions were believed a lot and that they have been around for a long time.
Who the hell would worship an idea from a 30 year old movie? A sci-fi fantasy movie?
Re: Is Jedi A Religion?
Originally posted by Inspectah DeckYes I saw a thread about it in the non christian section of a christian message board. I think it's based on the return of the jedi. They call it a religion but it looks more like a star wars fan club. It might be classified as scientology. http://www.lauralee.com/news/jedireligion.htm
Is it. I dont think so 😕
Originally posted by Inspectah DeckSomebody on another board said it is true and it already happened. He also thinks he is an elf from a different planet and he wanted to call himself a christian-pagan so I don't think so. He said his wife had naturaly pointed ears so she's probably a vulcan but there was a thread about the jedi religion on that board.
What was the chair smilie for? 😕Even though its fiction mnay ppl think of as a religion.
