A 10-year-old boy who needed hospital treatment after being beaten up by bullies, refused to fight back because “it’s not the Jedi way”, his mother said.
Lizette Casanova said her son Aiden Vasquez “felt it in his soul not to hit the kid back”, while being tormented by a classmate at his California school.
The Star Wars fan’s ordeal came to the attention of Mark Hamill – who played Luke Skywalker in the film series – who said of the boy, he was “astonished by his wisdom and courage”.
Police are investigating an allegation of assault after Ms Casanova lodged a criminal complaint about the bullying.
She also called for her son’s school, Two Bunch Palms primary in Desert Hot Springs, to take action.
“This is the third year my son is bullied,” she wrote on Facebook. “Last year he had to get stitches on his face from getting ‘pushed’, [and he was] losing his breath on the playground for getting thrown down.”
She added: “Now we’re making hospital visits, and I’m pressing charges.”
Aiden needed stitches after suffering a 3in cut during the latest incident, on Monday morning, which began with a 10-year-old classmate taking his backpack, his mother alleged.
She posted a picture of her son, with a bloodied face and swollen eye, on Facebook.
Ms Casanova said it was the second time he had needed hospital treatment because of bullies.
She wrote: “Aiden wants me to let everyone know he’s doing fine all stitched up and numb... he said he felt it in his soul not to hit the kid back. It’s not the Jedi way!”

If he’d said Christian, I’d have respected him.
Clearly he missed the orignals, and has just seen the disney dungheaps.
I wasn’t bullied after that, but this guy as an adult glared at me the rare times we passed each other in our cars.
Jedi DO fight back.
Does he have a father, I mean a real father, a man. Good lord, look what the left has done to us, everything has to be defined, and even than it makes no sense as they have stolen and corrupted our language.
It is child abuse not to teach him to kick their ass. You cannot reject 1 million years of man’ bullying. One response and it ain’t Pretty.

"Your father's lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon... for a more civilized age."
---Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker
Mind you, his father used that same lightsaber to murder a bunch of children. Elegance!

And that same light saber was ripped in two between Ren and Ray after Snoke got whacked.
Abrams kid?
Jedi slice their opponents open with their light sabre.
“Jedi DO fight back.”
A good Jedi would head the advice of Sun Tzu and be preemptive when tactically advantageous.
