I think that's ridiculous. Unless you know of some universal line that must never be transgressed, I fail to see the backing for your claim.

It. Is. A. Joke. Image.
And unless you're willing to censor a lot more on a forum clearly intended for constructive, free discourse, I suggest you keep your unsupported, unverified claims about illegality to yourself.

How difficult is this to accept? I fail to see how this can possibly be construed as more offensive than claims that Christianity is the one true religion, Christianity itself (which is meant to be anything but inoffensive), and the practice of parading around likenesses of a man nailed to a cross.

As for the topic at hand, there's no reason I can think of why a belief system similar to that of Star Wars should be disallowed. Even if it contains a fictional core, there's nothing barring people from belief. I may laugh, but that does not mean I will not defend their right to make fools of themselves in my eyes.
So was the other one. Feldoon said he took offence. Hypocrite.

I'm sorely tempted to put myself down for "******" during the next just to see if anyone notices.

I think Feldoon may have been attempting to make the point that his joke was like the prior joke in that both may be viewed as innocuous or offensive.
Regardless of whether he was hypocritical, the point does carry some validity.
