About
“These Aren’t The Droids You Are Looking For” is a sarcastic phrase often used to jokingly assert that an object/statement is, in fact, not what it appears to be---despite any and all evidence that it certainly is what it appears to be.
Origin
The phrase is a quote from the 1977 movie “Star Wars”, spoken by Obi-Wan/Ben Kenobi (Played by Alec Guinness) after being stopped by Stormtroopers when traveling into the city of Mos Eisley in search of the smuggler Han Solo.
