Filming

Three directors were credited, including George Gordon, Carl Urbano, and Rudy Zamora. Since Hanna-Barbera were partial to group crediting for their Saturday morning cartoon's entire season, it's unknown if all four of them directed the episode.

Music

The music is composed by Hoyt Curtin.

Behind the scenes

  • The episode title is a play on the phrase, "May the force be with you," from the film Star Wars in 1978.

Errors

  • Richie says they're the first "Earth people" to land on the Moon, as if the 1969 landing had never happened.
