Yes but do they have the Rebel insignia available on their military headstones? The true measure of any religion...
"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

Headstones?

Don't they disappear when they die?

Welcome to SFN, Baza!

I truly hate the writing used in Star Wars, and find the "spiritual" side of the mythos to be the very worst of that writing. If I want to worship according to the writing of a bad sci-fi writer, Scientology is already out there. Jedi Knights! Humbug! People should take their mock religions more seriously.
