American Jedi Documentry

I really wouldn't worry about that. The Documentary isn't going to reach a large crowd and those it does reach will have minor interest. The Jedi community has managed to survive 20+ years with a great many logo's and not one standing above the other....I am confident that this will be no different. There are plenty of people in the community that can and will set the record straight.

Great sour grapes?

I had no idea Opie now espouses the ideals of jediism. I look forward to learning more about how the dark side caused him to convert.

I wasn't talking about the quality of the movie. I was answering J.K Barger concerning the Symbol.

Heads up. I am working on the 2014 Just Jedi Datacron and detailing the American Jedi along with an FAQ. If anyone can think of any questions and answers that should be in it. Please feel free to PM me https://trisskar9.wixsite.com/just-jedi/2014

I guess to me, not to disparage the effort, but the film is a low budget very limited release project. It might affect how a few thousand people see the Temple, but those were probably people who wouldn't join or support us anyway. It might effect how a few thousand people see some individuals, but those were probably people who wouldn't befriend or support then anyway.

All in all, I think it'll be interesting to watch, but won't change my life one bit.

Again the selfishness amazes me. No one will care about totjo one way or the other. Totjo is not and will never be the Jedi Realist community.

Perhaps I've misunderstood the documentary. I'd thought it was specifically about TOtJO?

lol, maybe one day we can make something of that nature! (if memory serves, there is a thread discussing just that.) But as for this documentary, it appears to be about Jediism and the Jedi Path in the U.S.A., not specifically TotJO.

Ooooooh. We'll, that is a different beast. I'll have to rethink my feelings on it based on this new information, lol.
