Happy Star Wars day to all the fans out there. May the 4th has been an annual celebration of the iconic sci-fi franchise for many years now, with Lucasfilm and parent company Disney recognizing the celebration itself, making an official logo for the yearly event. And every year, once the day comes around, it's the perfect time for fans to flock to social media and express their admiration for the series.
Star Wars fans will say "May the 4th be With You" to either end a statement or as just a nice gesture to friends. However, it seems that some Star Wars fans aren't really sure how to respond to "May the 4th be With You." And who can blame them? Do you just say "you too"? Or do you just like the comment and leave it there?
Here are some ways to respond.
Proper Responses to May the 4th Be With You
Now, only a few things would make sense to say after being told May the 4th be with you. Looking at a Reddit thread from about four years ago, some fans agree that the best way to respond to the statement is by saying: "And also with you." It leaves no room for further conversation, and it makes sense.
A Redditor also jokes that a good response could be: "Beware the revenge of the 5th." But, due to its hostile nature, saying this depends on who the person is speaking to.
Another great way for Star Wars fans to respond is: "May the 4th be with us all" or "May the 4th be with us both." It would depend on how many people are part of the conversation. Hopefully, at least one of these responses gets people through potentially awkward exchanges, whether online or in person.
Happy Star Wars Day!
