A number you probably won’t need. But a funny one nonetheless. From The Guardian’s news dispatch…

“The UK is home to 390,000 Jedi Knights, according to the results of the 2001 census. Following an internet campaign, 0.7% of the population recorded their religion as “Jedi” on the annual survey. The registrar general for England and Wales, Len Cook, said the Jedis had been lumped in with the atheists. “We have put them among the 7.7 million people who said they had no religion. I suspect this was a decision which will not be challenged greatly,” he said.”

Hmm, I wonder what Master Yoda would say…
