Contrary to popular belief, Obi-Wan Kenobi was not the first Star Wars character to say, “May the force be with you.” In 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope, General Jan Dodonna shared the words of encouragement with the Rebel pilots before the Battle of Yavin. Nearly 50 years later, Star Wars fans still say, “May the force be with you.” They have also adopted May 4 as their big day. This May 4, Burger King will launch new menu items and collectibles to celebrate the release of the new movie Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on May 22.
