Store Wars as Tesco bans Jedi Knight

TESCO has been accused of religious discrimination - after banning a JEDI KNIGHT for wearing a hood.

Members of the Star Wars faith - a religion practised around the world - choose to cover their heads in public.

But the leader of the UK's first Jedi Church was branded a security risk and ejected by three staff after refusing to remove his hoodie at a Tesco in Bangor, North Wales.

Daniel Jones, 23 - also known by his Jedi name Morda Hehol - said: "I told them it was a requirement of my religion but they just sniggered and ordered me to leave.

"I walked past a Muslim lady in a veil. Surely the same rules should apply to everyone." The handbook of the UK Jedi Church, founded by film nut Daniel last year, states: "Jedis must wear a hood up in any public place of a large audience."

Daniel added: "I'll advise worshippers to boycott Tesco if it happens again. They will feel the Force."

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."

From the Official Star Wars blog. Haha, tbh if it weren't mostly followed by young people there wouldn't have been an issue. Oh Tesco...
