I'm not in the fandom, but I've been in fandoms where similar verbal substitutions have been used ("Oh my Force!" Obi-Wan exclaimed) and they generally seem jarring, even without odd associations that make them extra-amusing.

Well, I guess it can depend on how it's done. If it's a phrase that's genuinely used often in canon, then fair enough. But usually it seems to be something that will appear maybe once or twice EVER in the original source - then fanfic authors hear it and go, "Aha, a nifty turn of phrase that I can use to make my dialogue seem more in character!", and jam it in about six times per chapter.

I remember a lot of Harry Potter fics with constant pseudo-cursing that revolved around Merlin. And then there were a handful of other, far sillier ones, where everyone (even the Muggle-borns) would always swear by "the goddess" - because they do magic so OF COURSE they're automatically Wiccan! (even though there is absolutely no evidence of this in the books and a fair amount of circumstantial evidence against it.)
