Max Zuckerberg officially has what will be her best “Throw Back Thursday” picture. For the rest of her life.

It seems everyone is getting in on the “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” action, including Hillary Clinton, who uttered “May the force be with you” at the end of Saturday’s Democratic debate.

So why not little Max’s daddy, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

The Zuck posted a picture of his infant cutie dressed in a brown Jedi robe. Next to her is a green lightsaber — any color but red is a symbol of good — and plush toys of Chewbacca and Darth Vader.

The best touches are the geeked-out caption, “The Force is strong with this one,” and the ready-to-rumble look in Max’s eyes.

The family pooch didn’t fare as well — he is dolled up as an evil Sith lord and, yes, given a red saber.

“Meanwhile, Beast turned to the dark side,” Zuckerberg wrote.
