Jedi School

Queen's University in Belfast Norther Ireland is offering a course in Jedi this semester. The one-day course, “Feel the Force: How to Train the Jedi Way,” is part of an open learning program and offers attendees insight into the psychological and spiritual influences George Lucas tapped in creating the Jedi:

Learn the real-life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind-tricks – mindfulness, instinct, serenity, empathy, influence, flow. Examine the larger philosophical issues behind the Star Wars universe – balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood, fascism and bureaucracy.

This comes just in time for the release of the new Star Wars game; The Force Unleashed (which looks goddam awesome) and has me wondering if the Queen's University course is actually a training ground for new Sith lords and uses the Jedi philosophies as a cover. Either way sign me up. I wanna make shit fly around with my mind!
