25 Best Puntastic Star Wars Jokes to Make the Force Groan

The existence of May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day, has strange origins. Originally, this obvious pun on "May the Force Be With You" was published in 1979 by the London Evening News in reference to Margaret Thatcher being reelected after election day on May 3, 1979. Keep in mind, this is just two years after the release of the original 1977 Star Wars, and a year before The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, which proves how ubiquitous that phrase was, even that early in Star Wars history. Today, this pun has been embraced by Star Wars fans and the official Lucasfilm brand as well. Thanks to Mark Hamill and other masters of Dad Jokes, some folks even celebrate the day after May 4 as "Revenge of the Fifth," a pun on the third Star Wars prequel, 2005's Revenge of the Sith.

But regardless of when you celebrate the Force, we can all agree that all of this May the 4th stuff comes from a collective love of Star Wars and puns. (We may have Mel Brooks to thank for Star Wars puns: "Pizza the Hutt" in Spaceballs, remains iconic.) So, with all that in mind, here are the very best, groan-inducing Star Wars jokes, which will make you very strong in the pun side, dad joke side of the Force.
