About This Quote

This is a common error. People think they should say something like "I am Luke Skywalker" when they want to offer a gift to someone, but this is incorrect. Incorrect because you would be saying that you are the gift. In other words, you are the gift.

If you are asking someone what they want, then it means that you don't know what they want. It's wrong to be the gift because it goes against the idea of showing gratitude. Therefore, it is better to say "I am here to rescue you."
