Co-founder of the International Church of Jediism, Master Morda
Hehol (Daniel Jones, seen above, left), was kicked out of a North
Wales supermarket after refusing to remove his super-sweet Jedi
hood. He is considering legal action (I would have just
Force-choked the assistant manager).
"I told them it was a requirement of my religion but they just
sniggered and ordered me to leave. I walked past a Muslim lady in a
veil. Surely the same rules should apply to everyone. It was
discrimination. I was really upset. Nobody should be treated like
that. I'll advise worshippers to boycott Tesco if it happens again.
They will feel the Force."
The jedi holocron handbook clearly
states that "Jedis must wear a hood up in any public place of a
large audience."
A Tesco spokeswoman said:
"Jedi are very welcome to shop in our stores although we would
ask them to remove their hoods. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke
Skywalker all went hoodless without going to the Dark Side. If Jedi
walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of
special offers."
