Jedi Knights seek Human Rights

NITED Nations chiefs today felt the Force from two Jedi Knights fighting for interstellar ‘human rights’.

Self-proclaimed Jedis ‘Umada’ and ‘Yunyun’, joined by hairy wookie Chewbacca, called for official acceptance of their ‘religion’ at London’s UN headquarters.

The fictional Jedis fought evil villain Darth Vader in the blockbuster Star Wars movie trilogy - leading to a cult following among sci-fi fans and students.

Umada, better known as 27-year-old John Wilkinson, pushed for tolerance of the Jedi faith – which attracted 390,000 followers in the 2001 UK census.

He said: “We have come here today to ask that we are recognised as the fourth largest religion in this country”.
