JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (WJHL) - Those who have walked through Downtown Jonesborough may have noticed a two-foot-tall Jedi Master Yoda outside of The Lollipop Shop.

This statue is causing much controversy online this week, with residents arguing whether two complaints are enough to have Yoda removed from the sidewalk.

Jeff Gurley is the owner of The Lollipop Shop and the Yoda statue. He said he's been told by the town's building inspector that Yoda has to be brought inside the store, permanently.

"I was told they've gotten complaints, and I said, 'how many?' And he said, 'two,'" Gurley told News Channel 11 on Monday. "And I said, 'that's pretty good for him being out there for two years and four months.'"

Gurley said he was not told when exactly, or how far apart, the complaints were made.
