From BBC Newsround: "Thousands of Star Wars fans are rallying together to try and get a Canadian boy a part in the next film.

So far more than 83,000 people have put their names to an online petition that they're planning on sending to Star Wars director George Lucas." Check out the petition.

Newsround also features the scoop on Jedi's and the census: "Star Wars fans have made Jedi the fourth most popular "religion" in England and Wales.
