Star Wars' Jedi Course Offered At U.K. University

Belfast, Northern Ireland (CNS) - To all wannabe Jedi Masters, here's your chance to feel the force. U.K.'s first Jedi course will be offered at Queen's University Belfast, hoping to attract Star Wars fans to their classes.

The university will be offering the course "Feel the Force: How to Train in the Jedi Way" in November. As per its ad material, the classes would teach "real life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind tricks."

Course leader, Allen Baird, hopes his novel approach would appeal to younger people to open learning towards "wider issues behind the Star Wars universe, like balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood and fascism."

He is quoted by the telegraph.co.uk as saying, "I hope to get more people interested in life long learning. It is not just about the Star Wars films. It is also about the sociological and political issues that are addressed in the films."

The one-day course will cost 23 pounds or around $40. He hopes to get 30 to 40 students.

But students might as well bring their own glowing light swords as "light sabers are not provided."
