The Jedi story is accurate. We needed ten thousand people on the Census to claim it as their primary religion in order for it to gain official recognition. The Census received a great many more than that; I have heard several figures but given the hige discrepancies in the numbers being bandied around, I will not promulgate inaccuracy. The end result was of course, success for the movement, although I don't believe anyone has been cheeky enough to request government support for the maintenance of the religion. Definitely a fun time and a good commentary on the ridiculous nature of the beast.
