Yeah, we know. Star Wars Day was Monday. But if the Force is with you, Star Wars Day is every day.
South Korea held its first official Star Wars Day earlier this week, highlighted by a number of events in Seoul, including an imperial march through the streets of Myeong-dong that ended up in front of a Uniqlo store. The clothing retailer had been running a “Disney and Family Week” campaign leading up until Children’s Day on May 5, according to Asia Today.
One blogger also attended a ceremony for newly christened Jedi Knights, with lightsabers and all, at the local CGV cinema.
Here are a few key Star Wars terms and phrases in Korean for your reference.
May the Force be with you.
포스가 당신과 함께 하기를
(Pronounced: Poh-soo-ga dang-shin-gwa hahm-geh ha-gee-reul)
Lightsaber
광선검
(Pronounced: Kwang-sun-gum)
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
스타워즈: 깨어난 포스
(Pronounced: Star Wars: Geh-uh-nan poh-soo)
These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
이것들은 네가 찾는 드로이드들이 아니다.
(Pronounced: Ee-guht-deul-eun neh-gah chah-neun deu-roi-deu-deul-ee ah-ni-da)

The Force will be with you, always.
