A true dad is one with the force of the dad joke. And he needs to have a host of Star Wars jokes and puns in his locker if he is ever to reach the rank of Dad Joke Master.

We're not talking about a Star Wars joke here and there on May 4th, you need to be armed with enough to see you through the year. From Princess Leia and Han Solo, to visiting a Chinese restaurant, and mixing a bounty hunter with a tropical fruit, you need to cover all bases for your Star Wars jokes.

Whether you're a dad joke Jedi master or a young padawn, these 101 Star Wars jokes will grant you a place on the Dad Jokes Jedi Council. 

What makes a great Star Wars Dad Joke?

As with any joke, what makes it great depends on your audience. And that is particularly important when it comes to Star Wars jokes. It's hard to believe, but some people don't like Star Wars (I know, I know!). Go too niche with these people and your joke will miss the mark worse than a Stormtrooper's blaster. Go too mainstream for a seasoned Star Wars expert and they'll find your lack of expertise disturbing.

You've got three core audience groups you need to be aware of to make sure your Star Wars dad joke pops like the fireworks after the Battle for Endor.

The dark side

You have those who don't like Star Wars (I know, I don't understand it either), but they'll still know Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father (I'm not even going to apologise for that spoiler. It's been 40 years!). Even though they're not a fan, your funny Star Wars Jokes will still earn at least a chuckle.

Casual Star Wars fans

These Star Wars fans know the original Star Wars trilogy from the new Star Wars trilogy, and know their Obi Wan Kenobi from their Qui Gon Jin. But don't expect them to laugh when you pull out a pun about a single line of dialogue from an episode of The Clone Wars.
 

True Star Wars fans

These are the people for whom watching Star Wars is a lifestyle. You can pull out Star Wars jokes from the farthest corners of the outer rim, relying on their knowledge of the most obscure minor characters. But only the highest order funny Star Wars jokes will do for this group.

If you're a little unsure which group your audience fits into to, just use the good old Obi Wan 'Hello there'. If reply with 'General Kenobi, I've been expecting you', they're a true Star Wars fan. If not, they're either casual or just not interested.

The amazing thing about Star Wars is that there's so much material to source your jokes from.

FAQs

How do you try a Star Wars dad joke?

Do or do not, there is not try. 

Do you need to be a Star Wars expert to tell Star Wars dad jokes?

The force is not strong with this one. But that's okay! Most people have at least some knowledge of Star Wars - they know the main characters, the know Vader is Luke's father etc etc. So you can definitely get away with telling some cracking Star Wars dad jokes without knowing everything there is to know about Star Wars. 

What makes a great Star Wars dad joke? 

It all depends on getting the audience right! There's no point pulling out a joke about a niche part of the Star Wars universe that needs plenty of context and background knowledge on someone who watched the films once 10 years ago. Similarly, if you go for something quite simple on a Star Wars super fan, it's probably going to drop dead quicker than Obi-Wan's cloak.
