Ah yes, Star Wars Day—the one magical day a year where fully grown adults wield plastic lightsabers in Target parking lots and whisper, “I am your father” to their dog. That’s right… it’s May the Fourth, baby!
Whether you’re a die-hard fan who owns Jedi robes in every color or you still confuse Chewbacca with a large emotional support dog, today is your day to shine like the twin suns of Tatooine.
Let’s go ahead and address the big glowing Death Star in the room:
Why May the Fourth?
Because it sounds like “May the Force (be with you)”, and let’s be real—any excuse to make puns and rewatch The Mandalorian for the 8th time is sacred.
Things that are 100% socially acceptable today:
• Calling your boss “Supreme Leader” in your morning email.
• Telling your kids bedtime stories that begin with “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” and end with you crying because Yoda’s speech patterns are surprisingly profound.
• Blasting the Imperial March while doing laundry like you’re Darth Vader with a vendetta against grass stains.
• Eating themed snacks like “Wookiee Cookies,” “Darth Taters,” or whatever questionable thing you turned into a Baby Yoda using green food coloring and blind confidence.
Let’s talk fandom for a sec:
There’s always that one friend who turns today into a lecture:
“You know, technically May 25th is the real Star Wars Day because that’s when A New Hope was released in 1977.”
Cool, Chad. Technically, no one invited your opinion, but here we are.
And don’t forget the casual fans who are just here for Baby Yoda memes and vaguely remember that Han Solo shot first (which, by the way, he absolutely did).
Whether you’re Light Side, Dark Side, or just along for the galactic snacks, today’s about fun, fantasy, and fully leaning into your inner nerd.
So grab your lightsaber, throw on that cape, and make questionable Yoda impressions until your family begs you to stop.
Because life is short, but the Force?
The Force is forever.
Happy Star Wars Day, rebel scum!
Until next time,
