On utilise parfois cette phrase de façon humoristique, à l'écrit ou à l'oral, pour souhaiter bonne chance à quelqu'un. On dira par exemple: have a good business trip, and may the force be with you, you'll need it ("j'espère que ton voyage d'affaires se passera bien, et que la force soit avec toi, tu en auras besoin"). -
