Jedi leader banned by Tesco

The leader of Britain's first Jedi Church has hit out at Tesco for throwing him out of one of its stores because he was wearing a hood.



Daniel Jones, 23, whose Jedi name is Morda Hehol, told supermarket staff he was required to wear it on religious grounds.

But he was informed he represented a 'security risk' and was turfed out of the Bangor branch in North Wales.

Now Mr Jones is accusing Tesco of religious discrimination.

"I'll advise worshippers to boycott Tesco if it happens again", he told The Sun.

"They will feel the Force", he added.

A Tesco spokesman said: "We would ask Jedis to remove hoods. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all went hoodless without going to the Dark Side."

Farcical. If it's about "security risks", they'd do better to ban clothing of other religions, like Islamic hijabs and burqas.

When the Xians created Jesus, they should've depicted him as a Jedi - everyone looks cooler as a Jedi.

everyone looks cooler as a Jedi.

Even this guy?

How dare you compare the Jedi Church to any other religion >:|
I hope you come back to matter as strangelets, you heretic.

No one has a Force choke like Emperor Popeatine "Come closer my little pickaninnies or you get The Grip™."

What's such a big deal with one hood? Ridiculous.

I don't buy in Tesco anyway.

Morrisons are better anyway.
