The number of Jedi Knights in the UK has been wiped out from the latest census results.
Hundreds of thousands of people recorded their religious affiliation as a member of the mystical religion from the Star Wars movie series on census forms in 2001 and 2011. That led to “Jedi Knight” being officially recognized with its own category in the data by the Office for National Statistics.
