Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
No  Guillaume Budin: Je ne suis malheureusement pas trop d'accord. Les exemples que vous donnez sont tous issus de textes liés à l'univers Star Wars. À mon goût, la question porte sur l'utilisation de cette expression dans le langage courant, sans le contexte Star Wars.
