ⓘ May the force be with you Il s'agit d'une formule qui provient du film de science-fiction Star Wars ( La Guerre des étoiles), réalisé par George Lucas en 1977. Les personnages qui luttaient pour le triomphe du bien dans l'univers se quittaient généralement sur ces mots ("que la force soit avec toi"). 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").
