"A man who dressed up as Darth Vader, wearing a garbage bag for a cape, and assaulted the founders of a group calling itself the Jedi church was given a suspended sentence Tuesday.

"Arwel Wynne Hughes, 27, attacked Jedi church founder Barney Jones - aka Master Jonba Hehol - with a metal crutch, hitting him on the head, prosecutors told Holyhead Magistrates' Court.

"Hughes claimed he couldn't remember the incident, having drunk the better part of a 2 1/2-gallon (10-liter) box of wine beforehand."

There was something in the news about the fact the there was a large number of people that said their religion was Jedi in a Census. The number was more than was required by law to have the religion of "JEDI" legally recognised yet government officials were refusing to recognise it!

Here is a link about the situation worldwide.
