Star Wars fanatics in the UK were spoofed by an email saying if enough people put "Jedi" as their religion on census forms, it would become an officially recognized religion. British officials have stated that this just isn´t true, and asked people to take the census seriously. Repressed Jedi Knights have formed an alliance to rebel against the British Empire.

Star Wars devotees have been tricked by a phony email circulating in the United Kingdom that told them to put "Jedi" as their religion on the upcoming census forms. If enough people write in a religion, according to the email, it becomes officially recognized and you become a Jedi Knight.
The Office of National Statistics has issued a statement denouncing the prank, and said they will not code a Jedi category for religion no matter how many people put it.
The head of the office was subsequently menaced by a Dark Jedi while walking to his car yesterday. The Jedi threatened to use the Force on the official. When the man laughed, the Jedi keyed his car and ran off through some bushes.
