Would you convert to the Jedi Order?
It was recorded in the UK that 0.7% of the population profess themselves to be part of the "Jedi Order". They have ranks, much like modern religion, but with cool names like Master and Padawan. They regularly engage in mind-control exercises, trying to harness the "Force", and participate in many light-sabre duels.
Oh thats right, you get a **Lightsabre**. Inner-children release!
So, would you convert to a religion preaching wisdom, patience and restraint with the added bonuses of really cool stuff? George Lucas might just be the next L. Ron :O
As a side note, a man was recently convicted of donning a plastic rubbish bag as a make-shift darth vader costume, and attacking 2 members of the Order with a steel crutch as they were preparing for a lightsabre sparring session. Admittedly, he had consumed most of a 10 litre cask of red wine, but he claimed that this enhanced his affiliation with the force when taken to the police station. He was able to defeat both "Jedi Masters".

No. To tell you the truth, I think people who convert to a religion that is born from fiction are foolish in the extreme.
I would have far more respect for these people were they to have converted to the religions which inspired the Jedi: Buddhism & Taoism.
Only if the Jedi dude beats Obama in the elections or causes Obama to go away.
if i got a lightsaber and the ability to move stuff without touching it.
I also read that article about the guy dressed as Darth attacking the guys at the Jedi meeting.Insanity reigns supreme!
I don’t know about converting, but I would like to see how they operate.
I actually put Jedi as my religion on the last census form lol
