About

"I Am One With the Force and the Force Is With Me" is a mantra chanted by the character Chirrut Îmwe (played by Donnie Yen) in the 2016 Star Wars film Star Wars: Rogue One, which he repeats to focus himself and remain calm during an intense or difficult situation.

Origin

In the film Star Wars: Rogue One, released in theaters December 16, 2016, Îmwe chants the phrase “I am one with the force and the force is with me” while battling enemy opponents or walking into a battlefield.



The same day the film was released, The Galactic Republic Facebook[7] page posted an image of Îmwe battling a Stormtrooper with the caption "When you are one with the Force and the Force is with you" (shown below).

Two days later, a photograph of Chirrut Îmwe captioned with the mantra was uploaded to Imgur[3] (shown below, right).

That day, the women's interest blog Bustle[1] published an article about the quote's popularity among Star Wars fans. On December 26th, Redditor kalchulainn posted a multi-pane image featuring several characters from the Star Wars franchise captioned with the mantra to /r/StarWars[4] (shown below).
