Meet The Real Jedi Who Devote Their Lives to The Force [INSIGHTS]

- In 2001, census-takers in the United Kingdom and other commonwealth countries noticed a curious trend: nearly 1% of responders designated their religion as Jedism. The impact of a film released nearly 40 years ago is obvious. It's only a slight exaggeration to say those who love "Star Wars" do so religiously. But an actual religion?
Many churches practice varying forms of Jedism, but none have more members than the Temple of the Jedi Order. The church has occasional in-person meet-ups, but by and large it exists almost entirely on the Internet. They have malleable doctrines and processes and are well structured, despite its leaders -- yes, a Jedi Council -- being scattershot around the world: France, the UK and even Texas. Like any religion, members of the church have a range of beliefs -- while one approaches it casually, someone else believes they can levitate cars with their mind.
When we asked the Temple to refer us to someone in the process of becoming a Jedi Knight, they gave us the contact information for Alex Bird. My first conversations with him revealed a guy far too rational to fall on the "mind control" part of the spectrum. Talking more, however, I was struck by just how grounded he was. He works as a behavioral therapist in upstate New York, living with his wife and a son who just celebrated his second birthday.
Everything about him felt "normal," minus the inordinate amount of his life devoted to exploring different belief systems. He's spent time in Catholicism, Buddhism and Atheism, and has studied a range of texts, from the Quran to Karl Marx to Ayn Rand. He admits he still carries bits and pieces of each, but no belief system perfectly aligned with reality. Which is to say, his reality: Rational as he is, he believes in more than just the scientific nature of things.
The Temple bridged that spectrum and brought with it an intricate set of values that, when distilled, resemble our perception of a Jedi: violence only when necessary, respect and simplicity. There's an implicit emphasis on impulse control which -- with respect to his job of essentially helping people with traumatic brain injuries re-integrate into society -- means he doesn't compromise many of his values.
The Temple strongly resembles Alex's most recent jaunt in traditional religion: Buddhism. His departure had less to do with its belief system than the lack of a stateside community (he practiced in a monastery in Asia). Because the Temple exists online, Alex is part of a community of open-minded people who encourage discussion and diversity and is also void of the heavy-handedness from his Catholic upbringing.
I was so taken by how honest, well thought out and happy he was that I knew a lot of people would appreciate his world view. I also knew a lot more people would sooner laugh at than listen to someone claiming to be a Jedi Knight. Why did he choose a religion and terminology that's so silly?

Let's start a Sith alliance and execute Order 66..
EliteeShott zxx Palpatine already took care of that.
We only have to clean up now.
Wipe out the remaining jedi
You will make great career in our empire. Come to nearest imperial outpost and sign up.
EliteeShott zxx No
yes but i declare myself the leader and supreme emperor! nosed it!
Mike I will never swear loayalty to such weakling like you.
"Commander Cody, the time has come. Execute order 66"
"Yes sir"
yes my lord
Teck King You fucking legend
Savage
Teck King 101
wun wun agrees
“I’m a jEdI” uses red lightsaber. Has romance...
Many Jedi had relationships with others. A few have also used red lightsabers without being sith or dark side users.
Bruh
*Dark side is strong with that one*
Geo not canon
Geo like who
Never thought I could cringe and fall in love at the same time.
Fucking hell, I can relate to what you’re feeling rn😂
Lmao, same here bud.
Honestly...
Haha facts
ahahahaha.. same same...I think im becoming one myself
Jedi arent allowed to have romantic relationships...
Anakin...🙄
Luke changed that in the original canon.
Erik Seavey Oh god now we got branching Jedi religions which was already a branch of the Je'daii and the alternative branch of the Jedi was the sith and a branching ideology of the sith is a Dark Jedi and there is the Grey Jedi we have to consider too. If this goes farther we will have chaos
@@staraptorflock3661 and without order chaos and thus the dark side
Well these guys probably don’t have to worry about that
All Jedi should do sit ups. I'm just saying
Chris F sit ups shit all these ummmm real Jedi should all just walk of a building
Chris F all of them should be skinny
That one guy Jared I thought there was a hair on my screen
BMAN- TMAN yep
BMAN- TMAN Me too!
I think yall need to chill. They’re not harming anyone and are finding something positive out of their interest
preach dude.
Thank you and may the force be with you
Simp
My whole childhood was nothing but anger, dissapointment, lies, and abuse. I fully & proudly embrace the Dark side & use it to protect myself and others.
@LyfiePlus I control those thoughts they dont control me. I harness the power of my rage to help others & defend myself. I should know id use the same power to break vader & palpatene in half saving everyone but still getting joy out of messing with vaders respirator shocking it & making it malfunction while hes down.
They’re having fun & not disturbing or bombing innocent people. Let’s respect them.
Dody Widodo until they do 😐
No Name and I will provide them with thermal detonators.
We aren’t hurting them we are just joking
Dody Widodo It’s Star Wars so I give them a pass lol
preach
Sad thing is...none of them would be physically fit to be a Jedi
carlos alcazar I shouldn't laugh, cause I'm chubby. But I'm laughing anyway. 🤣🤣🤣
At least they are trained. Unlike....MaREY Sue.
Gypsy SnowWolf ew
Jedi has more to do more with Mentally Fit than physical, young padawan, much to learn.
@@carlosmartinezz3022 No, there is a physical aspect to it.
Aren't they a bit... fat for Jedi? Who's willing to become Sith with me? We'll take these nerds down!
Ricky There was a Hutt
Jedi.
Ricky I....I will do whatever you ask master
Ricky I'm down I have fencing and kendo training 9 years of it I may add the Jedi will be no more
Odyssey2001 beldorion was fucking buff dude, unlike the other hutts you could see his muscles.
for the empire!
“I ain’t make this shit up” Wise words from a true Jedi.
"Hello there!" even wiser words from a true jedi
Anthony Marcus uh yeah a Jedi...
3:00
That's how Windu should've talked lol
Mace Windu would be proud.
Best
Hardcore geeks. Let them have their fun.
It's me and my friends as older people lol
It's NOT FUN. ITS A RELIGION. GET OVER IT.
@@frankiebond7097 it's not
@@VictorSilva-qf2tu it's a faith. If people believe in something. But they cant actually see its. Then it's a faith. Its mine and many other peoples religion. So instead of being rude and saying it's not. Understand it first.
@@gilonix3066 thank you. Finally someone who understands.
i like how it keeps randomly cutting from the epic, dramatic jedi- sith battle to a fat guy in front of his computer staring at a forum
Kanan Jarrus to Ezra Bridger: "Having a laser sword does not make you a Jedi..."
(Edit): These are the exact words of a Jedi Padawan in Star Wars Rebels. Take what he said into account...
Peter Wong this man said Lazer sword dafaq
well thats a rebels quote tho...
Peter Wong lmao
Peter Wong kanan Doom* his real name
Peter Wong NO SHIT SHERLOCK
Sometimes I like to dig my legs in the dirt and pretend I'm a carrot.
IITHEOPII I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Imma potato !!! xD
IITHEOPII so that was you I almost cooked yesterday in the evening😂☺
😂👌
IITHEOPII if i catch you doing that I'm gonna whoop you 😒 then eat you
Why is there so much hate in the comments? What is wrong about being a nerd? Nerds have always been the crown of every society and usually those people that push technology and development of entire nations. The guys in this video are awesome, they have a compassionate unity, good ideas and morals and they found and preserved something that makes our monotonous world a bit more mystical and fascinating.
Besides that, the Jedi have a really good way of living, actually more people should get into stuff like that.
i 100 percent agree man i dont understand all the hate comments they just stupid
Thank you I 100% agree
Probably because there's no hot chicks hanging out with them.
They aren’t nerds they are people acting out a movie lying to themselves that it’s real... so I guess u could call them virginshahahahhahaha
Listen I’m a nerd but the training is kinda cringy but the performance on stage is awesome
Commander Cody, the time has come.....
😂
Master Yoda??? why...?
Yoda nah man your old get outa here you didn't even defeat sidous
Good, Gooood, join me my little green friend. (reply lol of you read this in Palpatine's voice)
"Came, the time has. Commander Cody."
I saw one of them had kids. That's against the Jedi code. Clearly not a Jedi.
but but.. ive never seen a fat Jedi...like from the clan from the US...*sad
Darth Kraft smh
Darth Kraft no shit because their species doesn't last long. This guy is fucking human.
Brett Mottin he's clearly an ignoramus
Anakin had twins tho... js.
ever since I was young I've tried to follow the teachings of the sith I'm glad to see there's people who are just a much of a loser as I am
Try not to as it promotes cruelty, and the jedi show compassion and peace what is expected of a human being is bassicly a jedi
Zoltan Gyongyossy you forget that the Jedi put the force over the people and both sith and Jedi both essentially want power except the Jedi do it for the order as the sith do it for themselves
Zoltan Gyongyossy and its not like I'm gonna go on mass genocide lol
lmao true I wanna be a sith but find I am more of a jedi :damit
Zoltan Gyongyossy well theoretically if you control the darkness within again theoretically then you can become the order enforcing badass the sith code says but not very many canon sith could do it and became corrupted
I die of laughter every time I see them pretending to use the force hahaha
Jacob Plaster yeah that’s... pretty dumb.
its a choreographed fight, they do it for the performance. even so, if they enjoy doing it thats aight, people like you have no need to come and be toxic about their hobby
windows_ _xp_ no need to be toxic about someone’s opinion, we’re allowed to think this is strange.
Jacob Plaster Do you also die of laughter whenever you watch The Empire Strikes Back? Or any of the other Star Wars movies where the Actors pretend to use the force?
THEY ARE NOT PRETENDING !!
Jedi cannot know love, and he is married. Not a real Jedi.
Jim V maybe he is a grey jedi
Jim V i wont look at jedi the same way again
dan sheppard some force sensitive children had normal parents
Dicey TV when did Luke marry??
Marriage is a legal contract. doesn't always have to do with love
Jesus these guys r nuts and this is coming from the biggest Star Wars nut ever
CaptainDragonzx I'll take this over most extremist religions out there
+NinjaTyler unless there is extremist jedis. I wouldn't be surprised though, cause there is such thing as extremist Buddhists.
Oh yea and Secularism isn't extreme in any way, it is only the foundation principle of Marxism that led to more than 100 million deaths in a century but who cares since it isn't "religious".
People have this idiotic notion that religion = bad and no religion = good, no religion = Secularism, Secularism leads to Humanism, both Secularism and Humanism justify and substantiate Marxism, Marxism leads to Socialism, Communism and Fascism as the World has experienced many times over by National Socialism (Nazi Fascism), The USSR (Russian Communism), the Khmer Rogue (Cambodian Communism), the Republic of China falsely so called (Chinese Communism) and oh so many others.
There are religions and bad religions, there are good world views and bad world views, Secularism is as bad of a world view as Islam is as bad of a religion by the fruit it bears.
Darth Shaydo love how you take bashing on one thing as ignoring another when the point was about religion and nothing else, and to point out the hypocrisy of "this is ridiculous, let me go back to reading about the moment in history my gods chosen forced apart an entire length of a sea..."
NinjaTyler You honestly think World Views and Religion are separate?
Secularism is as similar to religion as Cabbage is to Lettuce.
They are merely different forms of the mental and political structuring of the psyche of man.
They are based on assumption and conjecture based on the conviction of each person, the conviction of a man leads him to the truth if he is willing to accept it.
And as for "ridiculous" the parting of the red sea may seem I think if you logically dwell on it that it is not that big of a deal nor a stretch when you believe that the God who spoke the entire universe into existence did a miracle which parted a relatively insignificant sea.
What I find ridiculous is that people still believe in the Big Bang, Chemical Evolution, Stellar Evolution, Abiogenesis and Speciation via mutagenic alterations... It is one thing to believe in God and quite another to believe in falsified theories because the alternative is unacceptable and unwanted.
their to old to train to be a jedi any way
Lmao
soulless faith Look at Yoda. 900 years old and was a jedi.
they're* too* but like, just let them be them lol, no need to judge
Kelvin S. Have you never watched Star Wars? well you must have to know yoda was 900 years old but he wasn't trained them. Anakin wasn't supposed to be trained as a Jedi originally because he was too old
+Rhys Lee Anakin's case of age was an exception, not the rule.
A producer of Star Wars is watching this video and be like
...Ok I guess I'm a god now
Lucas is a god in the body of a mortal lol
Or probably saying “ok I’m starting to regret making this franchise” lol
lucas IS the force
I’m gonna start the order of the Sith just to piss them off 😂
Already exists, and has for decades.
Arisaig Ioach eons
Rule of 2 buddy. Get rekt.
I don’t think that’s gonna make them mad honestly
Theyd probably welcome it
I’m a huge star wars fan and this shit made me cringe my brain out
Johnny Skeletman same
Johnny Skeletman me too.
Then forget about it instead of bothering us with your negativity.
Yeah, let them do what they want, you’re not a real fan.
Johnny Skeletman If you don’t play with lightsabers with a group of people, you’re not living.
Turns out the son likes Star Trek
Noooo!!!
Wyatt Cusick top 10 anime betrayals💀😀
Wyatt Cusick *EXECUTE ORDER 66*
Wyatt Cusick TRAITER!
ah shit, gotta throw the whole thing out
Guys don't try it - they have the high ground...
Jedi's
or adults playing with plastic swords
You decide.
You have to remember there's a LOT weirder people, this is on the low end. They could do the same thing with actual practise swords and call it swordfighting and it wouldn't be nerdy at all.
stitch2k1 If you ignore the fact that the majority of them seem to have terrible technique and swing at sword syndrome, sure.
But then you'd just be lying to yourself.
Besides, I was talking more about the ones who apparently follow some Jedi religion.
That's a red flag that they need to come back to reality.
Hugh Mungus Well to me the religion part seems like a fancy version of Buddhism to be honest. I'm personally agnostic (although mostly atheist leaning, I don't hate religion, I just don't believe in a higher being) and I generally agree with the lack of feeling that purpose, so I to a degree follow some Buddhist beliefs, although I'm pretty liberal of that :P
It's a performance group. The "religion" and the performance group are two separate things. They're putting on a charity show based on Star Wars. Of course they're going to use "plastic swords" and not have the best technique.
Noah Potato I'm not comparing it to established religions.
I'm just saying this is stupid.
Like Scientology
I love devotion to a hobby and a passion, but man some people are a bit......different
66 likes... let’s start the sith alliance and do some executing.
adam davis incorrect. There is passion in the Jedi order however only passion is Sith code
Harley Rider I am going to the last Jedi Dressed as a Jedi Knight I am excited I even have a real Jedi Robe
Let me rephrase that.... Some people are just retards
Self diluted.
I find it cool that these people are completely disregarding all the disrespect that they're getting. Props to them!
LeoValdez5650 that's because it's not their Channel LOL
You know what? Congratulations to these guys. It must take a lot of courage to so openly show your love of something like this, knowing you'll be ridiculed, and doing it anyway.
The force powers are cringeworthy, but the star wars style sword fighting is pretty sweet
BGM yes
Ya, as soon as they started on using the force in their fights it became really cringey. The actual fighting was cool though.
I mean that's literally what they did in the movies. They pretended
So the rest of us are peasants and sith.
I can roll with that.
shall we do execute order 66, my Lord?
Ivan Baymar XD
Emperor Palpatine please execute order 66 right NOW!!!!
Emperor Palpatine my lord
Emperor Palpatine I devoted my self to the dark side years ago master. We shall destroy the Jedi and crush there existence
I'm sorry, I'm not usually one to judge, but it was very cringey when they were practising.
Lel the best was that women "licking" her hand NOT, EW
Vaxo Gakh XD
Vaxo Gakh omg I was like wtf kinda shit is this that look something out of a porno
While I am not a member of the Jedi religion, I have always thought that the basic description of The Force, as Obi Wan explained it to young Luke, made a lot of sense:
"The Force is an energy field, made up of all living things; it surrounds us, it penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together."
I see nothing wrong with that. It is rather Eastern in that way, which I respect. As for the Jedi traditionally excluding romance, marriage and parenthood from the tenets of the order, so what? Obviously, Anakin didn't stick to that; and in the EU, neither did Luke. Plus, many religions have different branches, with different takes on the same dogma. Why not the Jedi? The important point is the very essence, the core of the spiritual belief. If it's not for you, fine; but don't try to deny others of their right to believe as they see fit. Personally, I think there is room for all different ways of thinking... so long as we respect each other, and try to keep an open mind.
There are parallels with some other religions. The force appears to be very similar to the concept of Qi/chi, mana etc. And I believe there is some sort of reality to it. In both religion and in physics. It's not in the way it's portrayed, but the core concept is definitely there.
and i... i am the SENATE!
Not yet
it’s treason then..
IT SHALL BE DONE, MY LORD.
Aizya The Senate is my City
Dew it
Everytime they say "I'm a jedi" I cringe
Nyx this is CRINGECON
When they start using 90% of their brains and doing psychic shit then I'll believe it.
I am actually tRansGender
5:39 the dab and stab technique
The dab stab jab
Dab and stab jab lab
0:03 he really predicted The Mandalorian😂😂(This is the way)
Lol

mrmaxmo legend unfortunately
prehaps the archives are incomplete
Nah legends
LOL!!!
Yes.
they are like weeaboos but better
no they are worse
They ARE weebs
That one guy who everybody loves S a t i r e b 0 i
That one guy who everybody loves I'm a super geek I have no place to denounce these people
hell yeah
It's so awesome how some of these people are fat and still can do all of these flips and spins, like I'm not fat and I still can't do any of these cool techniques.
Edwin ZX practice. Lots and lots of practice
The Force. Size matters not to the Force.
Elemental Jedi Plot twist : You’re fat
Elemental Jedi if
Thats called will power. Mind over matter.
“this is the way” I thought the Mandalorian only say that?
Same!
This was filmed before the mandalorian came out. Before it mandalorians didn't say that.
Magicjetsrock I know I’m just joking around
@@user-ok8yq6nc6x But now, this is the way...
This man predicted it
WHEN THEY TRY TO USE THE FORCE WTF LMAO
lol
These guys seem more like really dedicated actors. I'm fine with that. Imagine them in a real Star Wars movie
Intergalactic Human Empire Cringeworthy
D
1.what tf is jedism
2.a jedi with a family which is not the jedi way
I'm a huge star wars fan, like i truly am but this was cringey af lolol
john perez lel saaaaame xD
Damien What's wrong with the word cringey, hmmm?
2:26
Was cringey, the lightsaber fighting itself is really cool, like fencing, but the force thing was cringey, and I’m a fan of Star Wars, but it was definitely cringey
Its called Acting. They were practicing for a stage show. They are not delusional.
It's a theatrical show approved by lucas films, dont worry they were just rehearsing
ᚴᛅᚱᚬᚾ Well, it still seems strange. As would the actual Star Wars movies without music or sound effects.
Br1aNn yea I really think if you have a good lichtsaber computation it’s cool but that force thing na idk
@@traviskistner3637 and?.. its still cringey
It's little cringy in my opinion but hey, whatever makes you happy. Who am I to judge?
karl jonson We need more comments like yours.
Like it's cringey but it looks fun
*suffers from second hand embarrassment*
This is equally cringeworthy as it is fucking badass.
So extremely?
Chacid yea
lol the fact that you find this even remotely badass is extremely cringeworthy
Nah it's just extremely cringeworthy
Thank god someone said something
The first words are "This is the way"
That first guy isn't a Jedi , he's got a wife.
Slightly Psychotic Maybe he is a grey Jedi
Ben Allen
Luke married in the Expanded universe
+Ananymouse 30 Yeah but Luke isn't really the status quo, considering both his masters died just after they trained him for like only a few hours
Kersey Kerman
He still runs the Jedi Order.
Ananymouse 30 Yeah, because there is noone better to do the job :P
George Lucas is laughing all the way to the bank.
Chad Thundercock ummm. No. These lightsabers etc are made by ultrasabers/ saberforge which are unofficial
Chad Thundercock think before you type
Philip Banks I don't know to be honest
Rexknopf 007 Is that all you can think of? Putting down people because you can't handle the truth.
dont care whos right and or whos wrong just keep this shit coming, giving me a good laugh
So it’s a bunch of middle aged people running around still playing Jedi...
Hell yea where do I sign up!
The Cabba They meet at Starbucks and McDonald's every Tuesday!
Antonio Taylor where and what time ?
legoBuilder1999 The whitest Starbucks or McDonalds you can find and at 800 while their white kids are at violin practice. Sometimes they go to the pizza place where they can take their kids at too!
Antonio Taylor lmao
Lol there cooler than you
2:26 what in hell
George...what have you done.
DatGuy Lo it started with Star Trek now this
These poor souls got bullied
Adrian Jimenez

👍
Tbh, with how they practice things, they seem very capable of self defence.
James Beckert nah they would get punched or kicked down instantly
Adrian Jimenez actually they put on shows for sick kids and raise money for charity it is actually their number one goal
if i was a sick kid and then a bunch of fat nerdy middle aged people showed up in my hospital room and did shit like when that woman licks her hand at 4:46 id reach over and pull my own plug
Execute order 66 on these guys
Alex Mackay Underrated comment
Alex Mackay Lmao
TheUmbrellaCorpX7 yh
Ya sure I’ll end every clone
Alex Mackay please do
4:47 me when my chocolate melts😂😂
I’m screaming!!!😂😂
They weren't born in the right galaxy to become Jedi
Obi-Wan Kenobi how do you know? Its not like you are from there?
Indeed,..
Anakin Skywalker 😂😭
Glad I'm not a Jedi....
+fakeaccount8888 your mean by far fat away is SO FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR AWAY
Star Wars is great and all. I love it. But...
This is weird!
Cool, I can learn how to use a Lightsaber!
Wait, it's not a religion. No, It's not. No way, SKREW THIS, I'M OUT!
Ohhhhhhh, so they are actors who do preformenses.
IT'S NOT A RELIGION!
It's not... it's not
it's... not.
Martio 05 it's a charity
Martio 05 it's a charity
Martio 05 -.- then you do not understand your potential through the power of The Force
I thought Jedi weren't allowed to marry.
XxEmeraldSquidxX not true some in the order are permitted to get married but yeah HAHA funny joke
Caden Baucum no one in the Jedi order are allowed to marry, you are supposed to cut all attachments and stray from those feelings. hence why anakin kept it a secret
Keith Tutor ki Adi Mundi had like three wives or something like that
Crazy fish that's because his race was dying and he needed to reproduce
Jamal Pope still canon I believe
Just imagine someone from the sith academy going over there and executing order 66
i give them props for being proud of their hobby.
He already broke the first rule of the Jedi. No Love.
We could keep it a secret...
You know who else keeps secrets of love? Vader... I rest my case.
Ro Tyler u are no Jedi, u are fallen
AxelGriff72 Who? His wife, Ella Vader?
+Ro Tyler If you kept it a secret, you would be in danger of falling to the dark side. You wouldn't make a good jedi.
im sorry, this seemed like a cult at first
Humans - "It's over George, you're not a God."
George Lucas - "You underestimate my power."
So this is a really cool idea, but treating the force as an actual religion, ummmm....
yo the fuck are you on about
Sean Pittaway people like you make my head hurt.
Sean Pittaway Difference is this idea is from a fictional movie the ones you speak of not exactly originating from same concept.
Shaheem Osborne And the bible isn't fiction? As much as I have an instant hatred for this Sean guy because the way he types, he has a point. I don't give a fuck what you worship, but try to remember that every religion is based on something that other religions will call bullshit. I don't want to turn this into an argument, but I'm perfectly content having a civilized debate
Adderz basically scientology
Where is the sith version?
I'm fine with what they're doing. We all have weird hobbies and ideas.
GizmoRazaar dang
gizmorazaar
who the hell cares? i dont if they want to do this then i have no objection. its what they want to do and its legal so there is nothing wrong with it. besides better than Christianity who in the middle ages threatened people to join them or else. they never really outgrew that in my opinion despite laws. these guys dont force you to join them no pun intended.
Nathan Simm You obviously know jack shit about Christianity if you say "they didn't outgrow forcing people into their religion despite the law... in my opinion." I'm just a Star Wars fan who believes that God gave us free will to do as we please. But in videos like these that mention anything remotely close to anything that reguards to religion, I always have to take care of that ignorant dumbshit in the comments.
i dont "target" Christians mate i was using them as an example. besides you cant deny some religions still do that.
Intergalactic Human Empire Believing in a all mighty God who created the universe for example
Step one become president
Step two outlaw the Jedi and hunt them down
Step three make a Sith cult and dress like Palpatine!!!
@shadowfr0st execute order 69!!!
I am a Jedi is pretty much the same thing as saying I am a virgin......
the Revolution that's what I thought 😂😂
the Revolution why u thing when people wired like this u thing the never had sex u people say the same thing all the time this is like if the had a Club for music I love music but I won't go and be in a club to show how much l like music this people are grown as men and women this is creepy if u want to like something till death why don't u get close to God not this stupid stuff
the Revolution well the first guy was married with a kid so...
That's also true in The Star Wars Universe lmao
the Revolution what about sith
So basically this is community theater.
Vako Nightsbane
Meh, I'd join it
And i tought my life was worthless
armin hamzic ever heard of furries?
+magicleopard1 yes that what I call my ball sack
Everyones lives are worthless in the grand scheme of the universe we are fuck all we are just here for no reason basically..
bruh im trying to make him feel better and not feel like shit. God gave us free will for a reason we CHOOSE to go to church all your doing is putting pressure on people for no reason when it's there choice please stop what your doing and find something else to do with your life
+Blacksensei for the love of Mads Mikkelsen can we all just get along? harambe sees and hears all she is our true Lord and savior
0:28 They start playing music from The Sims 3 and thought nobody would notice.
Where can I join the Sith Order?
same
Same
Darth Cobay You're already a part if you voted for hillary
Nice one.
In Nazi Germany. Initiation is after the doctors are done torturing you for at least a year and filling your head with propaganda.
I think it is good for their community. It might not be like any other belief but if it keeps them happy and out of trouble let them be. Respect for them having to ignore all the hate.
Aurora borealis19 I sense you have chosen to dwell in the negativity of the dark side...
Decimus Orion I sense that you're still a virgin.
Aurora borealis19 got him
So this is a cult
Basically, it is a cult.
I dunno, is it a real religion? Do it's members really believe it?
Mephostopheles I would... Why not a mystical force that binds all living things together... I mean people believe in an all powerful being that does magical shit not much difference imo besides the force is less cruel than god if the bible is accurate
Cult like but I can easily see it becoming more serious by someone's greed like Palpatine
Brandon aka Howl Because we're all stupid peasants😂
"they teach you in the temple not to show emotion"
I must argue that you have to be able to feel emotion. if you keep it bottled up you will end up like Anakin skywalker. The thing is that you shouldn't let the emotion control you like what happened to Anakin. Anakin was pushed to the dark side by feelings of hatred and grief of his mother. It's ok to grieve but you shouldn't let it run your life and steer you down a wrong path. (i know this wasn't asked for but I just wanted to put in my input as I have been studying the Jedi philosophy for a while.)
Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not. Attachment leads to jealousy. The shadow of greed, that is. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose
This whole thing from the believing that you are a jedi to the lightsaber fighting club or whatever it is makes me cringe.
But to be honest, I'd still do it. Just for laughs and fun, and because I'm a star wars nerd.
It's not necessarily a _belief_ so much as a "hey, I believe in peace and open-mindedness and consideration and stuff - which is the most important part of a Jedi and their mindsets, not the swords or the robes."
Then theres's just the dueling clubs that use _real_ sword/fencing techniques - just with lightsabers.
Rhas 'Churol you just said it isn't a belief, then said it was about believing.
A belief in the sense of "being a real Jedi".
Thsedesi best comment
Sames
Ok, this is a bit of a stretch, but if you consider yourself a jedi, have some knowledge and skill in swordfighting, which most of these people have none of.
But Al Robinson is my nigga!
buzzkill
ASAP BIDOOF and some if them could do with a bit if Cardio.
ASAP BIDOOF Only problem is that they don't need to, because it's all coreographed.
Meet the real life adult virgins
Stinky Fat Rat
except he has a son
Willster he lives by the blade
I'm not so sure about that. It was probably my "son", if you know what I'm saying.
They could have become Sith and recruit women for all kinds of purposes.😏
Gianmarco Bezada lol says the fucker with roblox gameplay
Good for them, but I don't they meet the physical requirements for even a "padawan"
But still this is awesome in my mind
I came here to:
50 % watch the video
50 % enjoy the comments
10 % get cringed
Amtchannel 110%?
and one of them doesn't know a thing about percents.
Oh yeah geniuses? You ever heard of a joke? Its a thing where you dont necessarily need to be 101 % true :D
Amtchannel saame tho I mean I REALLY LOVE STAR WARS but not a step to oooooooo far
2:25 omfg lmao
She let her have it lmao
I am non-binary force sensitive.
This... Is concerning... Even as a star wars fan myself
I'm not hating, it's just my opinion
@@ncm2738 well theyre not hurting anyone
@@intessign543 True... until someone swings a bit too hard and headshots someone. but true.
I'm a huge star wars fan as well and I agree. This isn't healthy, we live in the real world
Agreed , this is really cringy. Especially because they all have the physical fitness of a janitor.
Jedism?
Pff
losers...
We all know the way of the Sith is the way to go.
Join the Dark Side.
We have cookies.
TheCommunistDragon Cookies?? Well I will consider it.
Yes cookies
Sith is an actual religion Lucas didn't invent it, its a galic thing
TheCommunistDragon I will be called Darth Nguyen if I join
TheCommunistDragon Call me
Darth Striker
I hate sand.
the one comment in the middle of all of this weird socio-political chaos. You just keep doing you, man XD
bjarczyk i hate it even more..
Haha
It’s coarse rough and gets everywhere
If people can pick their genders or identify themselves as third gender, i dont see whats wrong with this
I identify as a flaming homosexual protocol droid.
I identity myself as a gender neutral B1 Battledroid
Now if there were a Sith community, I would be in
Who else thinks there should be a order of the site and whenever they see each other publicly they HAVE to fight they don't have a choice.
Sith*
Like bloods and crips?
not gonna lie...if u switch the lightsaber toys with a real sword they would be badass
It is possible to make a light saber but it will need a power source and have it's Plasma Length increased and some type of eye protection
Wazzup Bruh457 he's talking about real metal swords
Dedsec A.H.C aka HEMA
This has got to be the cringiest thing I've ever seen in my life lol.
Yeah, passion in something charitable and peaceful. Real cringy man...
Nathan Rojas its not crimgy because of that. its cringy because theyre the " grown ass people" equivent of the fat star wars kid doing the darth maul routine in his garage
dam11232 They practice and preform. That's it
Chris X so we're all going to ignore the money they raise for children's hospitals and the sick kids they entertain?
Yes. Theres more dignified ways to raise money.
MrBeast will take over with his budget stormtrooper army.
Y’all Jedi’s will be sorry after messing with them and their kid stormtrooper.
Do you even remember their lack of aim?
so this is just them practicing for a show right? not them actually thinking they are jedi...
Aizya the saber guild is. The temple of the Jedi order is a recognized religion
Chris Catalano it might be a recognised religion, still doesn't make them Jedi.
It makes them jedi, it doesn't make them force sensitive
Chris Catalano ... oh for fucks sake...
Aizya yes, they were practicing for a show. However s9me of them follow a Star Wars religion
Its treason then...
Chocolate Muffin I am the senate!!!
Zach Cline hello there
Chocolate Muffin you deserve more likes
Pong Krell scene gives me chills.
Most think about palpatine
I thought Jedi can't make romantic relationships with others.
yeah xD
Probably grey Jedi.
i would be a Je'dii a gray Jedi in other words
didn't Luke have a wife tho.... Mara Jade?
I think they dropped that crap after the uptight Jedi counsel ceased lol
The funny thing is that the Jedi path, when all fantasy aspects are removed, is essentially buddhism. It's about the understanding of yourself and your impact
I always thought the force was about metaphysics rather than actual religion. That just makes more sense to me
