Finally – a Jedi in British Parliament!

Mr. Jamie Reed burst onto the Parliamentary scene in Britain with an announcement that he is a Jedi.

I crave the indulgence of the House in interrupting such an important and enjoyable debate to deliver my maiden speech. Furthermore, as the first Jedi Member of this place, I look forward to the protection under the law that will be provided to me by the Bill.

Terribly brave of him, I must say. I suppose the idea that we co-exist with a race of small intelligent creatures (medichlorians) which, through training and meditation, we can co-opt to manipulate our environment isn’t all that far fetched. I wonder if we’ll see a Jedi religion come to fruition soon … it’s no stranger than the idea that we were planted here by an alien species, and it has historical stories of magic and mysterious things to help back up its veracity.

But I mean, come on! Becoming a Jedi is not an easy thing – even Anakin had trouble doing it.
