Happy Star Wars Day to all!
Yes, Star Wars Day exists for us Jedi, just like Christmas exists for Christians. Now the question is: when do you celebrate Star Wars Day? You see there are two days that people celebrate as Star Wars Day. The first one is May 4th. Why May 4th? This date stems from the most famous of all Star Wars quotes "May the Force be with you" (personally I rather enjoy "Why you half witted, scruffy looking, Nerf Herder!, but then again that is just me). Some people say the the word Force sounds like Fourth so it could be May the Fourth, hence the celebration on May the 4th.
Others prefer the original movie opening date of May 25th as Star Wars Day. It was on this day that the world changed forever. It was the day that the world was introduced to a young farm boy, a beautiful princess, the evil man in black, and a hunk of a space captain.
But here is the catch, May 25th is "officially" called the Universal Day of the Jedi. So in essence, one could celebrate May 4th as Star Wars Day and May 25th as the Universal Day of the Jedi. Or one could follow Jedi J and celebrate Star Wars in some small way every day!
I must go now, my younglings are calling and Chewie and Wicket need to be fed.
