Turkey, April 9 (UPI) -- More than 6,000 students at a Turkish university have signed a petition calling for a Jedi Temple on campus "to bring balance to the Force."
The Change.org petition, which had more than 6,000 signatures Thursday, was created by students at Dokuz Eylul University amid controversy stemming from an announcement last month from Istanbul Technical University rector Mehmet Karaca that his school would be getting a "landmark mosque" after a petition calling for a mosque on campus received nearly 200,000 signatures.
