    Star Wars fans, it is now okay to come out of your closet wearing your favorite Jedi robes! :D

    (As for me, I'll hide in the bushes laughing at those who set their foot into the complex...)

    Jedi church planned for Wales

    Two Star Wars-loving brothers are planning to set up a Jedi church in Wales.

    Barney and Daniel Jones want fellow devotees to be able to join them on Anglesey, reports the BBC.

    Barney, 26 - or Master Jonba Hehol - and Daniel, 21 - Master Morda Hehol - head the UK Church of the Jedi.

    They say their services will include sermons on The Force, light sabre training, and meditation techniques.

    Hairdresser Barney said: "As children we always watched the Star Wars films anyway. We noticed that there were a couple of sites on the internet, Jedi church sites.

    "We printed off a couple of sermons and did a sermon in our house for a couple of friends one night."

    Barney and his musician brother Daniel, from Holyhead, help run four websites devoted to the development of the "faith".

    "My brother and I will wear the Jedi robes, the dark brown robes... the congregation would be in black. Really to bring a sense of unity to the meetings," said Barney.

    Although the current members are all men, women are not excluded, as Barney points out: "Princess Leia helped them out a lot."

    However, any congregation member drawn to the dark side of the Force, embodied in the film by Darth Vader, would be advised they are following the wrong path and could face expulsion.

    I love that Han is rocking out Pete Townsend style on a flying v. That's just classy.

    Can they actually use the "force?" Do they have real "light sabers?" Those are the cool parts of being a Jedi. If you can't do Jedi mind tricks, move things with your mind, do cool flips, and have a real light saber that can cut through everything, then what's the point?

    Star Wars fans don't do this. Just like Star Wars fans don't sit in front of a movie theater a month before a Star Wars movie airs. People who do these things are just wacko.

    Its just a place where overweight middle-aged virgins can be virgins without being ridiculed for being both, a virgin and an extreme Star Wars fan.

    The only "force" will be when the nerds force a girl to come to "church" with them.
