The Star Wars Moments in HIMYM

Purpose of this blog: To point out all the Star Wars references and mentions in the CBS hit comedy, How I Met Your Mother. Oh and if by some chance you want to follow an equally awesome, but non specific geeky blog, follow my personal blog: thewilloughbydobbs.tumblr.com

What episode(s) feature the saying "may the fourth be with you???"

I’m sorry Anonymous friend, i don’t think any.

Hello, I dont know if you can help me There is a chapter in which I think Ted and Barney or Marshall (Sorry I dont remember) discuss the weakness of the Death Star, they talk about how terrible it was the ventilation shaft, at the end to give his view on the subject, the other analyzing it I do not remember much about it, just remember that scene in the department of Ted. Is not that you published yet, the one in they are talking about if was the fault of the contractor. Please help!!

You’re thinking of the classic bit from Season 6, Episode 3: Unfinished.

I’ve posted some key dialogue from there. You just have to scroll a couple pages. i’ve also tagged everything so you can search by character,

Hi, I search a moment that you don't have but I don't know this episode. It's when barney have the hologram head of Star Wars and then ted gonna get Barney and Barney say "Ted.. Please...".

I think you’re thinking of Season 8, Episode 19, “The Fortress.” It is not, in fact, a Star Wars-like hologram, but actually supposed to be a reference to the holographic head of Jor-El in the Superman films. Barney calls his place the Fortress of Barnitude (Like the Fortress of Solitude from the Superman mythos).

And that kids....

...is how I found every Star Wars reference in How I Met Your Mother.

I set out on this journey of rewatching HIMYM with the goal of finding and taking screenshots of every Star Wars reference in the show. I have completed such a task.  Unfortunately I never realized how spaced out this would become, seeing as it is nearly two years since I began this blog.  But I figured, now that that show is over, I should finally finish.  And I have, and I hope you all have found the same joy in all the Star Wars moments, from the little references, like Luke Mosby, or the big ones like "Trilogy Time" or "Do I Know You?" (THEY LIVED THE STAR WARS, TED.)

And because the show is over, so shall this blog be. I won't take it down, obviously, but I've found all the moments I could and the show won't be making new episodes, so....

But thanks for following.

Season 9, Episode 17:  Sunrise

Ted is attempting to get Robin's locket back and he thinks it with Stella. She tries to reason with Ted that he's blowing up the wedding. He retaliates with Star Wars. 

[himymandstarwars]

Season 9, Episode 15: Unpause

Ted is narrating about the 2 AM rule, but he says that his son LUKE, is the exception the that rule. You may remember that Ted had once said he would name his children Luke and Leia, but it seems he only got half that deal.  His daughter's name is Penny.  Because of Ted's love of Star Wars it is quite reasonable that his son is named Luke after Luke Skywalker.

Barney gets so drunk the night before his wedding, he speaks like Jabba the Hutt

This might be a stretch, because even though it's a Indiana Jones reference, the knight is made up to look all ghost-y and blue-y, like Force Ghosts like Obi-Wan Kenobi.
