Star Wars Quotes

Context

This line is spoken most famously by Han Solo, played by Harrison Ford, in the film Star Wars, directed by George Lucas (1977).

Your geeky friends will gut you with a lightsaber when they hear you're looking up the context for "May the Force be with you," but we won't tell them. This exact phrase is actually first said by a character named General Dodonna, but who cares about him?

Shortly after, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) repeats it to Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) as Luke boards his X-Wing to blow up the Death Star. It's a nice way of showing the friendship forming between the two. 

In translation, it means "Dude, you're going to need a miracle to pull this off. Good luck, bro."

Where you've heard it

You hear this phrase any time a lazy news writer gets his hands on a story. Seriously, guys, there are other headlines out there.

Also, on May 4, everyone says "May the Fourth be with you."

Get it? Get it?!
