Intervention [Documentation]: May the Fourth Be With You

On May 4, 2013 I made a few different flyers to hang up on my neighbors' doors. The flyers have an image of a Star Wars character with each one saying "May the Fourth Be With You". The bottom of the flyer has 6 lightsabers (the 3 different colored lightsabers in Star Wars) you can rip off, as it states right above them, "Take a lightsaber".  I tried to capture moments of the intervention throughout the day.


Someone has already taken a blue lightsaber. 

He's taken a red lighsaber... oh no! He must be a sith!

Another blue lightsaber taken. 

She's a sith too!

The "force" is strong with this one. The lightsaber gave her the "force" to kill a bug that was on the door frame. 

Lightsaber battle!

May 5, 2013. Apparently random people that passed by overnight or early in the morning took some lightsabers too. 


This intervention was supposed to empower people who took a lightsaber, whether it was in the smallest way possible. Holding that paper lightsaber gave them a sense of power, or "force", for a short amount of time. Maybe sometimes we need something to remind ourselves that we do have "the force" within us. We can carry this intervention's message further and put our "force" to use in a productive manner in our lives.
