Today is Star Wars day and here is a list of things fans could do to celebrate the saga created by George Lucas
May the 4th is here to be with you, which means it’s that time of the year when you must leave everything aside to celebrate the iconic space saga by George Lucas, Star Wars and embrace the force within you. While it all started in a galaxy, far away, we can celebrate Star Wars in a galaxy, which is not so far away. Jatin Varma, founder of Comic Con India suggests five different ways to celebrate the day.
Talk like Yoda with your colleagues and friends the entire day
There can be no better way to celebrate the day than starting with the oldest, wisest and the most powerful Jedi from that universe. His peculiar language, Yodish is similar to English but in a disordered sentence structure where the object comes first followed by the subject and the verb instead of the usual subject-verb-object order used in English sentences. So, ‘Yoda, talk like’ the entire day with friends/colleagues or throw a Star Wars-themed party and’ ‘Yodish language at the party interact in’.
Invest in a Star Wars Lego Set and spend the day building it
Lego has introduced a new line of a 279-piece building set based on Star Wars to celebrate the classic saga’s 20th anniversary this year. The set comes with three miniature figures of Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and Padme Amidala.
The brand also has plenty of other building sets from the chronicle already on the shelves. So, invest in one and spend the day building your own model of Anakin Skywalker’s custom-built podracer.
Do a Star Wars movie marathon
With all the events, Cosplay, merchandise, and other celebrations taking place everywhere, it’s easy for them fans to miss out the crucial part of Star Wars Day, the movies. The celebrations will not be complete without revisiting all the films that have made this series so beloved. And, make sure you get someone from your team, who has never watched the series before, join you in the movie marathon. Watch all of them in the mentioned order: Prequel -The Phantom Menace (Ep: 1), Attack of the Clones (Ep: 2), Revenge of the Sith (Ep: 3); Rogue One (Spin-Off); Sequel - A New Hope (Ep: 4), The Empire Strikes Back (Ep: 5), Return of the Jedi (Ep: 6), The Force Awakens (Ep: 7), The last Jedi (Ep: 8) and The Rise of Skywalker (Ep: 9).
Save up for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the new Star Wars land at Disney World
Your fandom for Star Wars will not be complete if you don’t visit the much-anticipated Disneyland’s new Star Wars-themed Galaxy’s Edge land, which will open on May 31. Imagine getting a chance to fly the Millennium Falcon, join the Resistance, build a custom lightsaber and design a droid. Start saving up for this a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Disney World in Orlando.
Prepare for the Revenge Of The Fifth (of May)
This unofficial fan holiday celebrated on May 5, the day after Star Wars Day marks the louder side of the film. Rhyming with the Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, this day covers the dark side of the force universe, with all things silly and funny, which is not necessarily a part of the original trilogy.
Lastly, the nostalgia will not be complete without remembering Late Carrie Fisher who portrayed the role of the popular self-rescuing Princess Leia and made her last appearance in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
