Lucas threatens suit over dangerous lightsaber ripoff -- via @DailyTech [Star Wars]

The manufacturer's CEO says it isn't meant to copy the lightsaber design made famous in Lucas' Star Wars universe. I call bullshit.
Oh, and it can set your skin on fire.
On fire.
Lucas sent a cease and desist letter demanding the company stop selling it because it appears "intended to resemble the hilts of" lightsaber swords.
Which it obviously is, despite the denials.

Welfare agency apologizes to UK Jedi kicked out for wearing a hood --Via Mail Online [Image]

The father of three now plans to sue Jobcentre Plus in Southend for discrimination, despite admitting he took up the 'faith' last year only as an excuse to wear hooded tops.
'I am a Star Wars follower. It means following the way of the Jedi,' he said yesterday. 'The main reason is I want to wear my hood up and I have got a religion which allows me to do that.

The guy's statement makes it pretty obvious that his religious right claim is made in bad faith. I don't know anything about British law, but if someone says they're calling themselves a member of a particular religion solely to reap what they see as the benefits of that status, that seems like bad faith to me.
