Are You a Believer? May the Force be with You… Especially Today!

May 4, 2014 by Mike Olson Leave a Comment

George Lucas and the Boss of the Dark Side
OK, so the “today” part of the above headline was if you happened to be saying this on May the fourth… get it? May the Fourth (Force) be with you? This play on words was created with good reason. It becomes part of the inside ‘humour’ and good intentions to recognize Star Wars as an international day of fandom all with good purpose. This is an illuminating concept in dark times… sound at all familiar? 
 
“The Force will be with you. Always.” ― Obi-Wan KenobiSome fans celebrate May 4th as “Star Wars Day” by paraphrasing the phrase as “May the fourth be with you”.The phrase is used by some characters in (and fans of) the films, meaning something like “good luck,” although usually only Jedi and other believers in the Force use the expression. Han Solo, who expresses his doubt about the Force in A New Hope, eventually uses this expression to wish Luke good luck. In the expanded universe, it is revealed that the Alliance for the Restoration of the Republic used the phrase to call upon the legendary Jedi order, a symbol of the Old Republic, and also to differentiate themselves from the Empire.The expression has found its way into popular culture as a result of the popularity of the films. Recently it got the 8th position in the AFI’s 100 years….100 movie quotes ranking.

Some might believe that, as the Force exists between all living things in any case, the phrase reflects a misunderstanding of its nature. In fact, the phrase implies a wish that the power of the Force is working alongside you, in order that your goals are more effectively accomplished. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi once used a different form that expressed a reminder rather than a wish: “The Force will be with you, always”, stating that Luke would succeed, as he was working alongside the power of the Force.
