Today is the first Star Wars Day (May the Fourth… May the Force… get it?) since the conclusion of the Skywalker saga in last year’s Episode IX – The Rise Of Skywalker. Given that Illinois, at least, is still in lock down due to the corona virus, it may be a good time for me to go back to Disney+ and pick The Mandalorian back up. After work, of course.

Star Wars Day
A happy Star Wars Day to one and all. May the 4th be with you.
May The Fourth
A long time ago (2011) in a galaxy far, far away (Toronto), the first organized celebration of Star Wars Day took place, as people started to notice that May the 4th sounded like a lispy “May the force”, as in “May the force be with you.” Thanks to social media, the idea has spread like wildfire, to the point where, three years later, the thing has become a national phenomenon.
I’ve got nothing Star Wars-y planned for the day, but this is the third Star Wars related post in the last week, so it must still hold some place in my consciousness. With the new, DIsney-led movies slated to start reaching theaters next year, maybe it will wash the stink of the prequels off of the franchise.
