WITH the new Star wars film about to open, we thought we would inquire as to how many people have the force in Harlow

According to the 2011 Census, there are 330 Jedi Knights in Harlow. That is to say, 330 residents, when asked what religion they are, put down that they were Jedi Knights (it is a Star Wars thing).

They were among over 176,000 others in the UK who also marked Jedi on their form.

The ward with the most Jedi Knights is Bush Fair with 36. The ward with the least Great Parndon with 15.

You may be interested that among the other religions declared in Harlow are two pagans in Church Langley, one Taoist in Harlow Common, a single Heathen in Mark Hall, a solo Satanist in Netteswell and a Druid in Toddbrook.
