That will be tricky, mind, as I hear he didn't like having his picture taken, but such is life. These spurious religions do make a good point, though: once you start making allowances for "religion" you're into very dangerous territory. Include the wrong thing and you look foolish or start handing money to cults. Exclude the wrong thing and you offend lots of people, and discriminate. You can't win.

This is a most unfair speculation. I am sure that the badge will be available to anyone who can demonstrate that they were actually trained bu Yoda.
