A line from Episode IV:A New Hope of the Star Wars Saga. Said by Obi-Wan Kenobi when he performs the awe inspiring Jedi mind trick on a pathetic drone Imperial Stormtrooper. On a side note it was one of the most defining lines for both Obi-Wan and the Jedi, being a display of a level of eliteness that we can only dream about.

Today, it's used as a social gag-line for when you attempt to perform the Jedi mind trick on one of your equally pathetic drone friends. Observe:

"Can I copy your English homework?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"You will give me your English homework. And your wallet. These are not the droids you're looking for."

"I will give you my English homework. And my wallet. These are not the droids I am looking for."

"You can go about your business... Move along."
