Star Wars Jedi Knights course offered by Queen's University Belfast - Telegraph
Personally I think its a brilliant idea. The Star Wars movies (atleast episodes 3,4,5,6) are modern day good vs evil epics and could easily replace any of the outdated religious texts, if they were rewritten with a few Latin or Sanskrit words.
The UK's first Jedi course is on offer at Queen's University Belfast in November and hopes to attract Star Wars fans and introduce them to the joys of continuing their education through open learning.
According to its publicity material, the course 'Feel the Force: How to Train in the Jedi Way' teaches the "real-life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind tricks".
It also claims to examine the "wider issues behind the Star Wars universe, like balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood and fascism".
No prior qualifications are required and the blurb informs students that "light sabres are not provided".
