When I went down to make my lunch this morning, I happened to glance at the newspaper on the table. Lo and behold, I saw a picture of Darth Vader! Even though I was behind schedule, I was curious, so I gave it a quick read, and packed it with my other things to read more thoroughly later on. I'd type up the article to share with you here, but then I'd need to cite the source, which would tell you where I live. Soooooo, just for you, I've found the website of the newspaper that originally (I think) reported the incident. Enjoy! I'll wait . . . .

So we've all heard of "Jedi churches" before, right? And I'm sure we all have our opinions. I, for one, agree that Star Wars can teach us many things, but at the same time, I think they're taking things a bit far. Oh well. I'm not trying to be rude to them or anything, but things like this tend to add to the opinion that Star Wars is evil and fans are . . . weird . . . crazy . . . obsessed . . . you pick. And certainly, we don't want to give people more reasons to have this opinion.

But enough seriousness for today - debating opinions isn't going to change anything. In the end, I find this whole incident to be hilarious, although I'm sorry for those who got hurt, and I hope this guy gets help. But still . . . *giggle* . . . *snort* . . . *guffaw* . . . .

Sorry, I can't help it!

Anyone else read about this?

P.S. Ummm, just in case, I'll add this. I don't want this blog to get into a heated religious debate, so let's all play nice, okay? It's fine if you want to share your opinion on Jediism as a religion (heck, I did, so it wouldn't be very fair to stop you!), but I don't want anyone knocking any other religions. Okay? Okay. Have fun!
