In China, Presbyterians are...

...Jedis?



Apparently this is the English subtitle of the Chinese translation of Episode 3. They took the phrase Jedi Council and translated it Presbyterian Church! This may explain a few things...

(I found this on a website that had a whole load of funny translations from the movie. Some were rather vulgar, so I'm not sure I should post the original link here)

Looking at SW III the Covenanters have more in common with the Jedi.

I tried using the 'Jedi Mind Trick' at dinner. I guess the waiter wasn't as weak minded as I had hoped.

Obviously the PCUSA, because later on we have this scene, which is obviously a depiction of Machen's excommunication.
