British College Offers Course On How To Become A Jedi

How do we put this… Do you want to be a Jedi? Like, a university-trained, fully accredited Jedi? Then head on over to the UK, nerd.
Yes, the Queen’s University Belfast, in Northern Ireland, now has a one-day course called “Feel the Force: How to Train in the Jedi Way.” The class is only open to 30-40 students, so if you’ve set your sights, for whatever reason, on becoming a Jedi, you’d better investigate pretty quickly.
What do you get for the £23 ($41) class? How about a class that “teaches the real-life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind tricks, and examines the wider issues behind the Star Wars universe, like balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood and fascism.”
Of course, the class isn’t merely about the teachings of some children’s movie, but about the larger aspects of life as we know it, like real-world politics and sociology.
No light sabers will be provided, however. There’s probably an iPhone app for that, though.
