After exploring the site my interest several things have come to my attention,
but let's view the overall impression of the site...

ORIGINS: WHO/WHAT ARE THEY?

The site itself is managed in New Zealand and according to the Home page
'accepts all races and species from all over the universe as potential members of the religion'.
The Jedi Church are followers of the Jedi religious faith and are keen to point

out that they're an official religion.

~this is a result of census issues, which they discuss on the Home page. The New Zealand Census bureau consider the answer of Jedi to the religious identity question to mean "Response outside
of scope" or "Answer understood, but will not be counted". The Jedi Church wants the New Zealand government to 'accept our [Jedi religion] faith and accurately record the statistics'.

So I'm currently deep in heart of the Jedi Church website. Shhh!!!!
After some initial investigating it looks promising. Browsing this sight has not only brought back in immense need to go and watch 'Return of the Jedi' again, but has also provoked a rising interest in the subject of the Jedi religion.
There are certain questions that I'm interested in finding answers for and with these in mind I have subscribed to their monthly news and forum digest am beginning my research.
I think I'd like to start with...

So I walk into my second lecture of my final year at uni and instead of being assigned the usual essay we've each told to start a weblog; focusing on a case study of our own personal choice and to outline our research experience.
Well this shouldn't be too hard, right!?!
So I've registered on the blogger site, thought of a blog title and am ready to begin...
...
erm...
...
... Okay not so easy!
Having choices is sometimes so much harder than being told what to do.
It is by pure chance that while on the internet I come across the Jedi religion. Curiosity (and slight boredom) I put 'Jedi religion' into Google and the first link that came up was http://www.jedichurch.org/, the description underneath saying 'The Jedi Church promotes the religious philosophy that there is one all powerful force that binds the entire universe together..'
Okay so it’s not some fan site for the Star Wars movies (pity as they are brilliant). Let's give it a try. My mouse hovers over that web address and clicks on the link...
