Tesco said: "He hasn't been banned. Jedis are very welcome to shop in our stores although we would ask them to remove their hoods.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker all appeared hoodless without ever going over to the Dark Side and we are only aware of the Emperor as one who never removed his hood.

"If Jedi walk around our stores with their hoods on, they'll miss lots of special offers."



Tesco bring the humour?

Also, the comments section is puntastic to a level that would make Neville wince:

"Sith happens"

"Apparently he went in for a Wookie Burger- not bad, but a bit Chewie"

I'm begin to think the force all powerful after all.

The 23-year-old, who founded the International Church of Jediism, which has 500,000 followers worldwide, was told the hood flouted store rules.

Make that 500,001 followers worldwide.

If the offers were that good, wouldn't they be able to feel the force of them through their hoods?
