The surprise result of a 2001 UK Census recount revealled that ‘Jedi’ is the fourth largest religion in Scotland, with 14,052 Jedis outnumbering BK followers by more than 1,277 to 1. The Jedi Knight religion is based on characters in the science fiction films of ‘Star Wars’ made by George Lucas.

• Belief Followers
  Jedi 14,052
  Pagan 1,930
  Baha’i 421
  Scientologist 53
  Hare Krishna 25
  Brahma Kumaris 11

Alternatively, in defence of their cultural significance, it should be stated that many BKs believed that the 1982 Steven Spielberg character ‘E.T.’ was inspired by co-administrator “Dadi” Janki Kripalani, pictured above.
