Well, 'Jedi' is actually an official religion here in the UK. Maybe someone just decided to take it a bit further?

Victim of Urban Myths, that never happened. No matter how many people put it on a census, there's nothing that forces it to be recognised as a religion. In fact, why would the Census office be dealing with the classification of religious groups anyway?
