The fantasy genre is one of the most popular storytelling formats around the world right now. They are thrilling, exciting, and a lot of fun to watch. Among the plethora of shows and films in the genre, one is The Witcher, an incredibly famous fantasy show, thanks to British A-lister, Henry Cavill. The show is perhaps Netflix’s most successful fantasy show of all time. On the other side of the spectrum, we have Star Wars, another massively loved franchise. We are no strangers to the legacy the franchise has left behind in Hollywood and almost everyone has at least heard about the show. However, have you imagined Star Wars come together with The Witcher?

As we all know, Henry Cavill as the Geralt of Rivia is amongst one of the most iconic roles by the actor. Suffice to say, the Enola Holmes star portrayed the character flawlessly. And one of the most important parts of the character was the incredible swords used in the show. However, what if we replace Geralt’s sword with a lightsaber? Well, surprising as it sounds, a picture of Cavill dressed in his Geralt outfit holding a lightsaber sword surfaced online. And undoubtedly, this fan edit has surely brought one of your wildest imaginations to life.

Recently, the Witcher fan site Redanian Intelligence shared a picture of Geralt holding the popular lightsaber sword from Star Wars. Furthermore, he added a hilarious caption to it as he wrote, “May the 4th be with you.” Meanwhile, the post gathered some hilarious reactions from the users as well.
