This may sound like a really dopey request, but I need some help from you
guys. While I enjoy the Star Wars movies, I don't own any of them, and
aren't as familiar as you are. So here's my request/challenge to you all...

A friend of my daughter (a HUGE Star Wars fan) is having a birthday in a
couple of weeks (boy, I hope he doesn't participate in this NG--nope, I'm
not talking about you, Justin!). Every year on his birthday he states how
many years it will be until he's thirty (on his 21st, he lamented "Only nine
years until I'm thirty," etc.). This year, he'll be 26. We want to surprise
him with a cake that says, in Yoda-speak, that it's only four years until
he's thirty.

How would Yoda word that? The best response makes it to the cake.

In Yoda's plainest language, "In four years, thirty you will be!" will
suffice.. Which has already been said. But if you REALLY want to impress him
with an inside Yoda joke, put this: "In four years, when thirty years old
you be, look as good you'll not, HMM?"

I think this one should win.

Around the cake, a perimeter create....
I always hated that line! Well, the actual line is

"Around the survivors a perimeter create."

It's too plain and non Yoda-ish - it's not wise small-talk as we are
used to from Yoda. I'm sure you agree.. Yuk! My ears are in pain
whenever I hear it!

Every suggestion in this thread ends will "... you will be". I'd actually
change it to "... will you be", which to me sounds just a tad more yoda-ish.

So it would be "In only 4 years, 30 will you be, hmm". Though the joke
referencing the "look as good, you will not" thing is a great idea also.

also, you have to add a few maniacal laughs to get the full effect
,...infact I can do a Yoda impression that would fool you into thinking it
was Frank Oz ;-) seriously. Sad , but true;-)

Thanks a lot you guys! Such great responses! I've sent them all to my
daughter and she and her friends are going to decide which one to use. I'll
let you know.

Thanks again!

Something like:
"Only four years until thirty your reach, yes, mmm!"
