Now I have to talk to you about something very serious. A long, long time ago, in a country far, far away George Lucas created something amazing. He took a story as old as time of galactic dictators and a people’s rebellion. A small resistance fighting against an overwhelming enemy on a scale that no one had seen before. But more than just fighting, this story had intricate relationships and a diverse range of peoples and ways of life. This story was an immediate hit with cinema goers and film fans. So much so they created Star Wars Day May The 4th.

On May 4^th many fans choose to re-watch the 9 film and counting epic (or at least the original 3) in costume, or throw Star Wars themed parties. It’s amazing that people from all over the world can unite and come together over films. This kind of global unity is very rarely seen for any other reason. So let’s not break the tradition, and organise our own gatherings and watch parties. Of course we will all need new costumes!
