44 years later, we still use this legendary Star Wars replica on a regular basis

“Hasta la Vista, baby!” “No guns, no chocolate.” “Fools dare to do anything even we acknowledge them as such.” “It’s not wrong.” “I’m too old for this nonsense.”

Like these few sentences, or those spoken by Jean Lefebvre in The Seventh Company, some lines from cinema are striking and effective enough to capture our expressions and have enough potential to be translated into everyday language.

Lessons from Master Yoda

Often taken from popular French comedies and skillfully placed in the appropriate context for an informed audience, these references are also borrowed, at times, from pop culture monuments.

For example, this is the case of the quote we are interested in today, taken directly from The Empire Strikes Back, the fifth episode of the prestigious Star Wars saga (and also considered the best by AlloCiné viewers).

Yoda spoke (Which in itself is a veritable goldmine when it comes to wise sayings)This line takes place in the middle of the feature film, during Luke Skywalker’s training on the planet Dagob.

“I’ll try.”

While the young Padawan is learning to master the Force by lifting rocks upside down, a sudden growl is heard in the nearby swamp: Luke, so there’s no way to take off again!

The young Jedi Master then takes advantage of this incident to teach his student a lesson, asking him to rebuild the ship himself using the Force. Incredulous and completely overwhelmed by the seemingly huge task, Luke replies that he will “try.”

To boost the confidence of his apprentice, who seems to still have a lot to learn, Yoda responds with this simple little sentence, succinct, radical, and stern at the same time:

“No. Don’t try. Do. Or don’t. But don’t try.”

Born from the undeniable writing talents of George Lucas, Lee Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, this little replica has settled comfortably into the pop culture landscape and continues to return to fuel the conversations of many fans even 44 years after Yoda spoke. .

Very useful on a daily basis, it can be really great for empowering your participants while demonstrating your culture of the Star Wars saga. It’s simple, once someone like Luke tells you at work that they’ll ‘try’, now you know what to do!
