Jedi Church Planned for Wales

Two Star Wars-loving brothers are planning to set up a Jedi church in Wales.

Barney and Daniel Jones want fellow devotees to be able to join them on Anglesey, reports the BBC.

Barney, 26 - or Master Jonba Hehol - and Daniel, 21 - Master Morda Hehol - head the UK Church of the Jedi.

They say their services will include sermons on The Force, light sabre training, and meditation techniques.

Hairdresser Barney said: "As children we always watched the Star Wars films anyway. We noticed that there were a couple of sites on the internet, Jedi church sites.

"We printed off a couple of sermons and did a sermon in our house for a couple of friends one night."

Barney and his musician brother Daniel, from Holyhead, help run four websites devoted to the development of the "faith".

"My brother and I will wear the Jedi robes, the dark brown robes... the congregation would be in black. Really to bring a sense of unity to the meetings," said Barney.

Although the current members are all men, women are not excluded, as Barney points out: "Princess Leia helped them out a lot."

However, any congregation member drawn to the dark side of the Force, embodied in the film by Darth Vader, would be advised they are following the wrong path and could face expulsion.

Kudos to them, there are millions of star wars fanatics out there, this church might just be successful.

Once they`ve grown established someone should persuade them into believing that the Church of Scientologists are followers of the dark side. Wouldnt mind seeing Tom Cruise take a plastic lightsaber to the face.

looks more fun than scientology, as long as they don`t demand mandatory contributions like scientology does. coulda come up with better alter ego last names than "hehol", sounds like "hellhole."

Now all you need is George Lucas to come forward and say that the good/dark sides of the force were allusions to christ/satan :P

This is exactly like the episode in Futurama.
The one where the Star Trek geeks formed a church.
Then they ended up sending all the original tapes and crew members to the forbidden planet!

I am not going against it, But I am just pointing that out.

I would certainly like to see some people that are super good with a Vibro-blade my self.

Screw it, I wanna join! just to be around some people that know what the fuck i talk about half of the time!
