Jedi census phenomenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Jedi census phenomenon was a grassroots movement in 2001 for citizens in a few English-speaking countries to record their religion as "Jedi" or "Jedi Knight" (after the fictitious religious order of Force-attuned knights in the Star Wars films) on the national census. Census of Population and Housing - The 2001 Census, Religion and the Jedi. Jedi is still not recognized as an "official" religion in any nation where the movement took place, and in fact there is no such concept in the United Kingdom. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jedi_census_phenomenon   (727 words)

Jedi - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography One of the Jedi casualties of this war was Anakin Solo, the youngest son of Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo, and Luke's nephew. Jedi Knight is the most common rank of Jedi, hence, the title is also used, mostly by non-Jedi, to refer to any member of the order that has at least met the compulsory requirements of the Jedi Council. Begun by a heretical Jedi called Xendor, this sect embraced the Dark Side of the Force as a means to power, and was opposed to the philosophy embraced by the Jedi, that is, service and justice in the defense of the common good. www.arikah.net /encyclopedia/Jedi   (6557 words)

Jedi - Uncyclopedia A Jedi is a follower of Jediism, a religious faith originating from Buddhism (seekers of Enlightenment), Taoism/Daoism (seekers of Balance) and Movism (seekers of Entertainment). Some modern Jedi have even moved away from their traditional role of diplomat into simply being people that don't seek confrontation, moving into the roles of musicians, programmers and politicians. The word Jedi is derived from the ancient Punic words jedee (je-dee) meaning master and dia meaning deliberation (or debating) making Jedi the master debaters of the Carthaginian lands of Corsica. uncyclopedia.org /wiki/Jedi   (1647 words)

Joint Efficient Dark-energy Investigation (JEDI) JEDI is the natural extrapolation to a space platform of the concept of an ultra-deep supernova survey proposed by Wang (1998). JEDI is a 2m class space telescope capable of simultaneous wide-field imaging and multiple object spectroscopy with a field of view of 1 square degree. JEDI will provide three independent ways to probe dark energy: distance-redshift relations of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), baryonic oscillations from a galaxy redshift survey, and weak lensing cross-correlation cosmography. jedi.nhn.ou.edu   (162 words)

BBC NEWS UK Census returns of the Jedi In the great fictional battle against the evil of the Empire, Jedis are depicted as holy warriors, who use the powerful strength of "The Force" to overcome the baddies. The Jedi response was most popular in Brighton and Hove, with 2.6 per cent of census respondents quoting it. Prior to the census in April 2001, an e-mail was circulated stating that if 10,000 people put Jedi on the census form, it would become a "fully recognised and legal religion". news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/uk/2757067.stm   (530 words)

Wind Powering America - Job and Economic Development Impact (JEDI) Model To use JEDI in this way, specific multipliers for the local area must be developed and entered into the model, and it is important to adjust the other input parameters, such as local share of spending, to accurately reflect the region or county.

Jedi.Net :: View topic - New Jedi training guide However, for a Jedi to properly wield these tools, he must first be of true purpose and strong ethics, he must have the knowledge to know when to strike, and the wisdom to know when not to. If Jedi are supposed to suppress their emotions and maintain inner peace at all times then giving them the ability to feel emotions of other people is kind of stupid. Jedi should learn about the events of at least one major war and about the origins of the Jedi and Sith orders. forums.jedi.net /phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=540806&sid=43ef6cd8eb8ca45d7e1fdea13ed88930   (3010 words)

BBC NEWS Entertainment Jedi 'religion' grows in Australia Most of the 70,509 people who wrote Jedi on their census forms were suspected to have done so in response to an e-mail encouraging all Star Wars fans to get it recognised as an official religion. More than 70,000 people in Australia have declared that they are followers of the Jedi faith, the religion created by the Star Wars films. An e-mail was sent around the world in 2001 saying that if 10,000 people declared they were Jedi, it would be recognised as an official religion. news.bbc.co.uk /2/hi/entertainment/2218456.stm   (324 words)

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Religion (Census Knight) The Office of National Statistics simply assigned the response "Jedi Knight" a numeric code to simplify the process of tabulating census results, as is typically done when many people answer a question by writing in a response not offered as a choice on the census form. This no more means that Jedi is an "official" religion than the election bureau's assigning a numeric code to "Mickey Mouse" (who usually receives at least several hundred write-in votes in every major election) means that a cartoon rodent is a qualified candidate for political office. Officials said on Thursday there was "absolutely no possibility" of Jedi appearing as a choice of religion on future census forms after officials created a code for Jedi to help them analyze responses to the 2001 population survey. www.snopes.com /religion/jedi.htm   (1194 words)

Stratics Dev Chat *Lots of Jedi Info* - Jedi - Star Wars Galaxies Official Forums Q - Currently Jedi versus melee is somewhat of a joke in regards to the melee class dominating the Jedi. It's a sjoke to have melee the better Jedi killers when BH, the supposed jedi control method is a rnaged profession AND the SIMPLE LOGIC that a melee attacker would be destroyed in close range combat, losing limbs and the such.

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - ESCMag Review The biggest knock against Jedi Academy is that it came hot on the heels of the excellent Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR). Jedi Academy is the latest in the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series. Where KOTOR was a rich, deep look at the Jedi order's past, Jedi Academy is an actioner that introduces a new hero and looks to the order's future. www.escmag.com /v5/reviews/review.cfm?rv=365   (752 words)

History of the Jedi and Sith A Jedi dueled and beheaded Darth Mongerer, but Mongerer hid the fact that he was a Sith and his apprentice succeeded him as Sith Master. The Jedi Academy on Coruscant grew large under the two and eventually the Civian home world, Ophuchi, was transformed into the Jedi stronghold. The Jedi Council considered the light saber too dangerous and it was destroyed with its blueprints. www.jedimassacre.com   (4370 words)

Jedi Council Forums - jedi robes - how Canon? We know that the basic outfit is established at a young age, but as the jedi grows older and stronger, can, and will, adapt their outfit to a style that they are most suited too. However, if you want to be recognized as a Jedi by the mundane public, it is best to stay as close as possible to what has been seen on the main characters in the movies. If you ultimately want to join one of the Jedi costuming groups (Rebel Legion, The Jedi Assembly, etc) then it would be best to read up on their standards for members (as some have posted). boards.theforce.net /Costuming_and_Props/b10019/19677273?1   (1801 words)

Jedi - Star Wars Galaxies Jedi: Their effect on others and on the game itself.

Force Academy - The Force - Light Jedi Lectures Light Jedi never use the force for attack, for personal gains of any kind or for motives which could be considered 'questionable'.

Wired News: Jedis Stand for the Census Count Bureau of Statistics will code Jedi followers as "not defined," but within the grouping will tally up the overall number of Jedi, according to John Struik, Australia's census manager. In the census of England and Wales, which included the region's first-ever question about religion, Jedi will simply be deemed "other." "We would not be planning to produce analysis of that," said David Bradbury, an official at the Office of National Statistics. The e-mail suggested that just 8,000 of these responses would mean that New Zealand would have to declare Jedi an official religion after its March 6 census. www.wired.com /news/culture/0,1284,44141,00.html   (683 words)
