Jediism Founder Accuses British Supermarket Chain of Religious Discrimination

In Britain, the founder of the Jedi religion (inspired by the Star Wars films) has accused Tesco supermarkets of religious discrimination. The London Guardian reported last Friday that Daniel Jones was ordered by staff at a Tesco store in north Wales to remove his hood while in the store. Jones, also known by his Jedi name Morda Hehol, said his religion requires him to wear the hood while in public. He is considering legal action against Tesco. Tesco though was undaunted in enforcing its rules, saying: "Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood. If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers."
