'Out of this world': Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker with Yoda
(Picture: Lucas Film)May the fourth be with you – said every Facebook post, Instagram story and WhatsApp status on this auspicious day.
This cracking pun was the deciding factor for the day, on May 4, dedicated to the celebration of everything Star Wars.
On this anniversary, there’s lots in store to celebrate including this compilation of funny (and cringy) Star Wars wisecracks.
Whether these gags from the galaxy earn an eye roll, a slightly heavy breath from your nose or an outright cackle – here’s the best and worst Star Wars memes we could find.
Play on Wars
Which website did Chewbacca create to share Empire secrets? Wookieleaks.
Which program do Jedi use to open PDF files? Adobe Wan Kenobi.
Why did the movies come out 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3? In charge of scheduling, Yoda was.
What was Lando’s nickname before he became a skilled pilot? Crashdo.
How did Darth Vader know what Luke was getting for his birthday? He felt his presents.
Why couldn’t Luke find love? He was looking in Alderaan places.
Jedi Jokes
Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi walk into a Chinese restaurant. Ten minutes into the meal, Luke still can’t figure out the chopsticks, dropping food everywhere. Obi-Wan finally snaps: “Use the forks, Luke.”
An Ewok strolls into a bar and says to the bartender, “I’ll have a whisky and… soda.” The bartender says, “Sure thing — but why the little pause?” “Dunno,” says the Ewok. “I’ve had them all my life.”
Yoda looks at Darth Vader and asks, “Rule the galaxy, you do. But at what cost?!” Vader thinks for a moment and replies, “It was expensive… It cost an arm and a leg.” After a short pause, Vader says, “Two legs in fact.”
Rebel reactions
Star Wars reaction gifs are a dime a dozen – and perfect for any situation.
For those young Padawans looking for guidance, perhaps consider a therapist who understand your references:

We are all, with varying levels of remorse, the same when it comes to fangirling over our favourite characters.
One commenter said: “If the Star Wars [Twitter] account had a [profile picture] of a character I would genuinely think it was just another one of us.”
To which they replied: “Thank you.”
Thank you.
