Blame the force of the Internet for this Jedi mind trick. Star Wars zealots "a fast one did pull," in Yodaspeak, on the British Office for National Statistics (ONS). They hit the Net urging Britons to write "Jedi" on their 2001 census forms where it asked about their religious affiliations. And now, according to ONS, nearly 400,000 Jedis live in Britain. So it's a safe bet Darth Sidious will keep his distance from the U.K. It's also likely that George Lucas will never have to buy his own pint at the pub. Government officials, in stiff-upper-lip style, said that the Star Warriors thought (mistakenly) that if 10,000 people said they were Jedis, the government would recognize the fictional order as an official religion. It may happen -- when Wookies fly.
