Is it normal i’d like to start a jedi class?

If you want more detail, read the book The Jedi Path. Obviously we can’t move objects with our minds or use real lightsabers or anything like that (yet). But a lot of the Jedi philosophy is based on real religious and spiritual schools of thought, and Jediism is an actual official religion. I think it would be cool to start like a karate-type class but with more Star Wars influences (think something along the lines of Yoda training the younglings in Attack of the Clones).

In all honesty though I don’t think I’m patient enough for such a thing, regardless of what age range I’m teaching (although patience and meditation are a part of it) so I more of want to set it up and leave it up to some people more capable than me for the time being. It’s just that when I read the aforementioned book, The Jedi Path, I just kept thinking how cool it would be to be able to teach this sort of thing IRL, and doing something similar may not be as hard as you might think.

    I see what you're saying. I actually saw a Catholic priest on YouTube who was kinda really into Star Wars, and talking about the Force, and good, and evil, etc. I think there are certain elements in the Star Wars story, that lend themselves well to philosophy with regard to the whole Jedi Knight thing.

    I can't say that it appeals to me in any sort of massive, or even significant way, but I do see how one could develop such a fascination. I also think that there are morally redeeming elements to the path of the Jedi Knight.

      I'm sorry, but as I'm writing this I'm laughing my face off, so just bear with me. I love cheesy star wars humor XD

    There are spiritual, pagan religions that you could practice instead and which may be more common compared to this.
    But there are of course many nerds out there who'd probably like this tbh. If you live in a fairly big city try setting something up.
