"May the Force be with you" — Star Wars (1977)

George Lucas borrowed the spiritual weight of phrases like "May God be with you" and transformed it into sci-fi mythology. First spoken by General Dodonna before the Battle of Yavin, the line became the blessing of an entire fictional religion. Across six decades and twelve theatrical films, it has been spoken by nearly every major character in the Star Wars galaxy — and by millions of fans worldwide every May 4th.
