Barney and Daniel Jones want fellow devotees to be able to join them close to their home. Barney, 26 - or Master Jonba Hehol - and Daniel, 21 - Master Morda Hehol - head the UK Church of the Jedi. They say their services will include sermons on "the Force," light sabre training, and meditation techniques.
Barney became interested in the Jedi faith after 390,000 other Star Wars fans across England and Wales declared it as their religion on the 2001 census. "We would read out essays members of the congregation have submitted on their feelings about the Jedi and the Force: do meditation, relaxation and visualisation techniques and a bit of light-sabre training."
Already six followers regularly meet in north Wales to discuss setting up the "church".
