UNITED Nations chiefs today felt the Force from two Jedi Knights fighting for interstellar 'human rights'.

Self-proclaimed Jedis ‘Umada’ and ‘Yunyun’, joined by hairy wookie Chewbacca, called for official acceptance of their ‘religion’ at London’s UN headquarters...

Umada, better known as 27-year-old John Wilkinson, pushed for tolerance of the Jedi faith – which attracted 390,000 followers in the 2001 UK census.

He said: “We have come here today to ask that we are recognised as the fourth largest religion in this country”.

The Star Wars characters launched their protest today - the UN International Day of Tolerance – which they want changed to the Interstellar Day of Tolerance.
