Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland is offering a course in Jedi this semester.

According to its publicity material, the course, Feel the Force: How to Train in the Jedi Way, teaches the real-life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind tricks.


It also claims to examine the wider issues behind the Star Wars universe, like balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood and fascism. The course will provide students with the fundamental building blocks they'll need to succeed in careers like never having sex.

Sign me up!

sweet. :)

OMG I'm actually first this time!

Ugh, this is retarded. Clearly a Matrix bullet-dodging class would have been a better idea. Plus, you would be able to get laid by a skinny/muscular chick with short hair and absolutely no acting skills.

is it just me or does that "jedi" look like jet li?

@1,2
Wow, Antonio.
Way to commit. Post some random comment, hoping you are first, but not sticking your nuts on the block. Then when you see (from the safety of your couch cushion fort) you were indeed first, you scamper back to the keyboard to lay claim to 'first' from 'second'.
Nice work.

This course is also offered on French Connection UK's university campus, FCUK U.

Is virginal status required? If so, I may as well join Whore McSlutface the Marriage Counselor in Nevada

@3: mmm, sign me up.

I go to that university... I am so gonna see if i can do that course. Like, I already have the robes and 2 sabres...

Haha! yess! i am sooo going to do that, I live about two hours away from there, im gonna be even COOLER now! :D

"The course will provide students with the fundamental building blocks they'll need to succeed in careers like VIRGINITY." What I want to know, is how the course PROVIDES the students with virginity? But aside from that, SIGN ME UP!! I would be ecstatic to be a Jedi. Then I would totally be the coolest lol :P

Step off Thumperchica. The double-sabered Asian Obi-wan is mine.

I now have an excuse to go to college... wait I'm not a virgin though, ha i'll lie... then i will be the greatest jedi turned sith in the history of that course!!!!

Ok, I like Star Wars as much as any other kid from the 70's....but this is ref***ingdiculous!!!

It is only a night class as opposed to something that had university accreditation.

@5 i always had a hard time committing. BTW you know how you never knew your father? I'm your father.

Epically do want. "This is the guy you are looking for." Just imagine the awesome bar tricks you could do! The money made off of darts games! The opportunities are as limitless as my dorky imagination!

OMG im going to that university next year! Sign me up!

Jedi teachings are just buddhist and tao philosophy rolled up in the giant fortune cookie of advertising. This whole thing may be silly but its not half as ridiculous as following L Ron Hubbards teachings.

@21, I totally agree. I would never take a science fiction authors religion seriously.

Anyway, it would be pretty cool to take this course. Especially when it comes to telling people that you're principle is Mace Mindu. The only thing that might be more fun would be to enroll in Professor X's Academy for gifted youngsters.

I have the packet, I just need to write the damn essays. As if my telekenisis isn't like an automatic acceptance letter...

@Gingersnapz:

You have numerous grammar and spelling errors in your post, and I'm going to correct them all because you're an idiot.

authors = author's. It's posessive.

Especially when it comes to telling people that you're principle is Mace Mindu. = Wrong in three ways. First, it's 'your'. Second, it's 'principal'. A principle is a virtue or idea, not a leader or administrator. Third, it's Mace WINDU, you twat.

That is all, except for capitalization on the entire name of Professor Xavier's school. F***face.


@23, Sorry. I really should've consulted you before posting.

I hope my posts in the future will be to your standards of professionalism.

Maybe you can give some grammar points after I'm through f***ing your mother. Hey, I know she's not hot, but at 20 dollars for the hour, who could pass that up.

That's the effn shit!!! Sign me the phuck up!!! Wait.... "Sign me up you will" in my most yoda'ist voice!!!

@ 4 no that's not Jet Li. You got the Wong guy.

They should also teach a course in how to trick nerds into paying your money.

Holy Hell.

I go to this university. Granted; I do a degree course rather than an open course but I'm still thrown.

That being said, I might look in out of curiousity

@25, You might want to watch how you phrase things.

We got grammar police 'round these parts.

Succeed in virginity? I for one find this hawt ;)

I could see how this would be a nice philosophy class to have, and 27 is right. What better way to get geeks and nerds to give you money? Offer a class on Star Wars!

UK University? Belfast??? UK???

F***ing idiot!

I really appreciate your help.Thank you very much!
