The church has 30 members locally and the “faith” has thousands of supporters worldwide. But Barney’s brother Daniel, 21, who helped found the British branch, said he was now “detached” from it.

The aim is to have a community without bias or prejudice and apply the wisdom of Jedi characters in the Stars Wars films.
A church official declared: “The church is a force for good. We’re in the middle of sorting out a structured training programme. We’re aiming to bring the Jedi way of life to the masses.”
The Brits really love them some Star Wars wedding: The GFFA-themed marriage ceremony of Bramwell Brightey and Tamsyn Lofts showed up in both The Guardian and The Sun today.
Arwel Wynne Jones, the man who attacked the head of the Jedi Church in a Vader mask, showed up in court for a hearing, but hasn’t bothered to show up for the actual case. The judge has issued a warrant for his arrest.
A man wearing a garbage bag and Vader helmet attacked Jedi Master Jonba Hehol (aka Barney Jones, co-founder of the Jedi Church) with a crutch while he was giving an interview to a documentary crew. ‘Vader’ went on to assault the camera crew and a hairdresser, reports The Daily Telegraph. Police are investigating an assault claim.
