According to wikipedia, the phrase dates back to a pun in a London newspaper headline in the late 70's. There's more to it though. This was the most interesting (and amusing) part of the article for me:
"In a 2005 interview on German news TV channel N24, George Lucas was asked to say the famous sentence "May the Force be with you." The interpreter simultaneously interpreted the sentence into German as Am 4. Mai sind wir bei Ihnen ("We shall be with you on May 4"). This was captured by TV Total and aired on May 18, 2005.[5]"
In honor of the day, I finished what I started a while ago from this Yoda crochet pattern. It took a while, but partially because my crochet skills are rusty. I love amigurumi (making little figures pretty much), but I always run into problems when I'm crocheting in 3-D. I had to start this over a couple of times before I got it right.
