I googled it as well and got really confused when I saw that IMDB page.

I'm with you, Kit. I actually liked the title... until I saw that. >.<

The director of American Jedi (the upcoming documentary) will be on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jedi-realist-radio in a few hours. The show starts at 21:00 (9pm) Eastern Standard Time which is 01:00 (1am) UTC.

The direct link to the live show (or to listen or download later) is http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jedi-realist-radio/2014/10/07/american-jedi .

Worth consideration:

There will be people entering the community after the documentary airs. Perhaps as a direct result, though some will find their own ways. Maybe a handful. Maybe droves.

Each of us needs to make up our minds about how we will receive these new Jedi. It will be easy for some of us to default to, "well, I was a Jedi before it was cool." And that serves no one.

Thoughts?

I would think that it will be more important than ever to walk the path, live the life, and set the example. If we are to be under more scrutiny, it can be an opportunity to demonstrate our resolve to be better people and do good in this world.

And any HIPSTER JEDI will be dealt with accordingly :evil: :laugh:

Senan is correct!!!!

Well...at the very least I know my work is cut out for me....

I just (within the hour) got promoted at FA.... A little nervous about being the Head of the Light Aspect.... Especially with American Jedi coming up.

(in case it's a curiousity, my apprenticeship will still stand here. I believe it will aide a great deal in building a stronger relationship between our orders, and truth be told, Br. John is an awesome master ^^, I also love many of the people I've come to know here ^^)

Dude... being a Jedi has ALWAYS been cool!

Honestly though, I don't see why anyone entering the community should be treated differently because of "how" they heard about it. I know that some people are concerned about the potential influx after next years movies too.

I say, who cares. Come, see what we are about. Stay, or don't.

Dude... being a Jedi has ALWAYS been cool!

:laugh: Very true. However, in response to Cabur, the day that being a Jedi turns into a popularity contest is the day we've lost what it means to be a Jedi. We should be mindful of humility if we feel this is the direction we might go.

We will get our share of trolls too...

Courtious to everyone, even the trolls...

But, we will remove any serious trouble makers, post haste....

Bring on dem trolls.... dis mah serious face.
