Rich pointed out that today is Star Wars Day {wiki}. The reason we celebrate on this day is explained in this graphic found at The blog of a Sci-Fi Geek. Link
The phrase "May the force be with you" and the pic of Obi Wan were both used during the original star wars promotions and merchandising... Even though he never says those exact words, he is the mentor/savant/guru of the story and it is appropriate to couple his image with the phrase.
lol, star wars geeks, I feel like i have found a home!! My 8 years old son and his buddy were playing lego star wars and in the game you can jump in to bodies, one was lord vader, I commented what? your good how can you become darth vader?? They said "its ok Darth vader is good" so I quiped Darth Vader is a Sith name he could never be good. Anakin is good. They all stared at me with wonder and said "how did YOU know that?" Ahhh for the first time my useless star wars knowledge didnt get me beat up... :)
