Over 390,000 people wrote "Jedi" on their 2001 census form, more than those who registered their faith as Jewish, Buddhist or Sikh in the optional question on religion, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said on Thursday.

Don't turn it into an argument please :P

I'm a Jedi, it's official!

It's only a shame that the government refused to recognise it as a religion, under previous law you needed 100,000 people (i think) to have the same belief for it to be counted as a religion. Unfortunately, the government caught on and said they wouldn't let it become an official religion. :(

It does raise an interesting question though, that the government in this country have a choice not to acknowledge a religion.
