They claim to have up to 400,000 members worldwide, with 80 of those physically in Anglesey, and base their religion on the teachings of Yoda to promote inner peace.

It's certainly not the first time this type of 'religion' has sprung up. After all, Scientology was born out of the science fiction writings of Ron L. Hubbard.
