"When you look at it you probably have got about 5,000 people in that 70,000 that were true hard-core people that would believe the Jedi religion carte blanche," he told ABC Radio.

People! It's a MOVIE. M-O-V-I-E.

From what I know of the Jedi philosophy as explained in the movies, teh ones who are "true believers," at least, ought to check out the New Thought movement. The tenets are quite similar in a number of ways and George Lucas has one of its main books in his bookcase. (I saw it in a photo that ran with an article about him in the New York Times.)

"Then you probably have 15,000 people who did it just to give the government a bit of curry," he said. this is hilarious.

If enough people can be enrolled in the "Jedi religion", that shall leave no room for incursions by the militant Muslims, which seem to be threatening practically every other country on the planet.

Aren't the Jedi warriors? And isn't that the kind of army we should be considering sending against the Islamofascists?

Will the Hollywood flakes switch from Scientology to Jedi now?

And so it begins.

A thousand years from now....the evening newscast.

"The Jedi ground forces are attacking the Elvistian stronghold. The John Lennonites have joined forces with the Elvistian's and are flanking the Jedi forces. But the Jedi forces have deployed chemical weapons, wiping out the Lennonites and forcing the Elvistian troops to retreat."

Is it just me or are people just basically nuts?

There are several appropriate responses to a government that insists upon knowing which religion you profess.

Feeding them gibberish is the most restrained and polite of the options.

Why does the Australian government need to know the religion of Australians?

I'll believe they're Jedi when I see their mitichlorian counts.
