In the image, Trump looks strong with bulging biceps, and the American flag is featured prominently behind him.
The White House described him as a “Sith slayer,” which adds to the dramatic effect of the image.
The post was shared on social media, capturing attention across the internet.
The White House message also included a pointed remark directed at political opponents.
They stated, “Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to … bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy,” the White House wrote on X.
“You’re not the Rebellion—you’re the Empire. May the 4th be with you.”
The significance of red lightsabers
In Star Wars lore, red lightsabers are typically associated with the Sith, who are often seen as villains.
On the other hand, Jedi heroes usually wield blue or green lightsabers.
The choice of a red lightsaber for Trump symbolizes his connection to the Republican Party, which uses red as its color.
Despite the provocative imagery, Trump did not comment on Star Wars Day on his Truth Social account.
The silence follows controversy over an AI image of Trump dressed as the Pope, posted just days before the Vatican’s new appointment.
Various government branches also celebrated creatively.
Trump is not the only figure celebrating Star Wars Day. Various branches of the government also joined in on the fun.
The U.S. Army posted a message on social media, highlighting their strength and readiness.
They used an image of soldiers with lightsabers to convey their message.
Their post read, “Across every galaxy—known and unknown—no force rivals our discipline, strength, and precision. We don’t just defend the world. We protect the future. Victory is forged, not found.”
“May the 4th be with you. #Readiness #Lethality #BeAllYouCanBe #maythe4thbewithyou (AI-enhanced).”
The Department of Defense released a playful video.
The Department of Defense took a different approach by creating a playful video that mimicked the iconic Star Wars opening credits.
The video highlighted some notable accomplishments during Trump’s first 100 days in office.
Interestingly, in their portrayal, they gave Trump a green lightsaber to clarify that he is not a Sith lord.
This creative twist aims to keep the spirit of Star Wars alive while recognizing the achievements of the military under Trump’s leadership.
The Department of the Interior also participated in the Star Wars Day celebrations.
They shared a whimsical message, invoking famous characters like Luke Skywalker and Yoda.
Their post encouraged people to explore public lands and have fun.
