May The Fourth Be With You Marked By Star Wars Quotes
Star Wars quotes day. May the Fourth be with you is defiantly not Obi-Wan Kenobi with a lisp. May 4 is Star Wars Day, thanks to an awesome play on the classic Jedi Knight phrase “May the force be with you,” in the Star Wars movie series. Star Wars geeks celebrate May the Fourth be with you by integrating corny Star Wars quotes, both popular and obscure, into their conversations. May the Fourth star wars quotes will be easily found all over the web. But obscure Star Wars quotes like a personal loan to forgotten scenes are the most fun, such as “I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the wookiee win.”
May the Fourth be with you is the day
For movie nerds, “May the Force be with you” is to Star Wars what “Live long and prosper” is to Star Trek. It is the king of all Star Wars quotes; a symbol of the status the Star Wars universe has achieved in our culture. In all six of the George Lucas’ Star Wars movies, “May the Force be with you” is said by at least one character. The line was chosen in 2005 as No. 8 on the American Film Institute list, AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movie Quotes. For a formal definition, leave it to the geeks at Wookieepedia to set the record straight:
“May the Force be with you” was a phrase used to wish luck, generally when individuals parted ways or the object of the expression was facing some sort of imminent challenge. The phrase implied the speaker’s wish that the power of the Force would be working alongside the addressee, in order that the addressee’s goals would be more effectively accomplished.”
Quotes by Yoda
Yoda’s quotes will always be the most popular Star Wars quotes uttered on May the Fourth be with you. Yoda’s trademark idiom of reversing the subject and predicate in all of his sentences can be used by Star Wars geeks to imitate the little green badass in virtually any conversation. For example, “The bus to work, I will take,” will use the same twisted sentence structure as the Yoda quote “Strong I am, with the force.” Yoda quotes abound on the web. Here are some samples from quotemountain.com:
Powerful you have become, the dark side I sense in you. Grave danger you are in. Impatient you are. Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will. Always in motion is the future. Size matters not. Blind we are, if creation of this clone army we could not see. Help you I can, yes. Agree with you the council does. Your apprentice Skywalker will be. When 900 years you reach, look as good, you will not.
More Star Wars Quotes
May the Force be with you is spoken by Star Wars characters in virtually every situation described above. Even Han Solo, whose most famous Star Wars quote may be “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid,” blesses Luke Skywalker with the quote before the attack on the Death Star battle station in the first Star Wars movie released in 197. In that same film, Princess Leia, jumping into Luke’s arms and about to swing on a rope like Tarzan and Jane over a bottomless chasm, only says “Good luck.”
