‘If you Luke father west’ says weather presenter in report riddled with Star Wars references

A weather report from Britain has gone viral for its clever use of Star Wars references ahead of the Disney franchise’s return to the box office.

Weather presenter Sian Welby, no stranger to giving her reports a sci-fi twist, scattered George Lucas inspired puns throughout her lunchtime forecast Wednesday on Channel 5.

“It’s another unusually mild day today,” Welby began before journeying to a galaxy far, far away. “But if you Luke father west, you will be seeing a glimmer of sunshine if you’re a Wookie.”

The 40 second weather update was published on social media moments after it was broadcast. It had been watched more than 40,000 times on YouTube at this writing.

Welby originally earned notoriety for an October weather report inspired by the Back To The Future movie franchise starring Canadian Michael J. Fox.
