Today is Star Wars Day - May the 4th be with you!

Star Wars Day is an informal commemorative day observed annually on May 4 to celebrate George Lucas's Star Wars media franchise. Observance of the day spread quickly through media and grassroots celebrations since the franchise began in 1977.

One day each year, Star Wars fans unite to celebrate the world-famous sci-fi franchise with all manner of events, special offers and (virtual) watch parties to mark the occasion.

Star Wars Day happens every May and is a great excuse to revisit your favourite entry in the saga or treat yourself to a new video game, comic book or piece of memorabilia.

This year is particularly exciting as it sees the launch of a brand new animated series ‘The Bad Batch’ on Disney Plus, which will follow a rogue clone squad as they navigate the dangerous days following the fall of the Republic.

Star Wars, an epic space opera written and directed by George Lucas, premiered in 1977 and became an almost instant cult classic. Even today, almost 40 years later, Star Wars remains one of the most financially successful films of all time.

The franchise it began remains the most successful one of all time, earning over 2.5 billion dollars since the release of the first film.

Enjoy your day everyone!
