Profile of a Real-Life Jedi Academy

Posted by timothy on from the mind-tricks-for-manhattan-landlords dept.

dkleinsc writes "The NYTimes ran a profile of the New York Jedi Club, an organization dedicated to teaching the ways of the Force. Jedi Grandmaster Flynn Michael, a sound engineer and (by his own proclamation) an 'over-the-top geek,' connected the ideas of the Jedi with dance, martial arts, sword-fighting and Tibetan Buddhism to form the curriculum."

      Master the force and you can have sex with all the hotties you want... Why do you think the dark side is so damned popular?

      These people will not be having sex anytime in the forseeable future. They also won't be able to levitate, control objects with their mind, brainwash storm troopers, or shoot lightning. What we have here is a lose-lose situation.

    Luke getting the girl would have been... awkward.

    Of course Lucas could have decided to have more than 1 female in the galaxy without tentacles coming out of her head.

    Given how often Jedi lose their lightsabers in the movies, that only reinforces his authenticity.
