The Force is Strong Here

UK census officials say they're powerless to stop people declaring themselves as Jedi on the upcoming "mega-form".

When the last UK census was conducted in 2001, around 400 000 people claimed to be members of the Star Wars Jedi religious movement.  While a source of embarrassment for the Office for National Statistics (ONS) who consider the record one of the most important pieces of information about the UK population, it looks like the rise of the Jedi could be repeated, because while not on the official religion list, the ONS will once again include Jedi in the official numbers.  :o)
