6 Easy Ways to Celebrate Star Wars Day

May 4, 2017 By Leticia

Happy Star Wars Day! Every year on May 4th fans celebrate their love of the films and if today snuck up on you, don’t worry! There is still plenty of time for you to show your allegiance to the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire before the day is done and here’s how.

Dig that Star Wars shirt out and put it on right now

Whether it’s a vintage throwback to the Star Wars films of your youth, one that shows your love of the newer movies, or one that is a nod to the current political situation, it doesn’t matter if that t-shirt has been hanging in your closet unworn for months or is a little wrinkled when you pull it out of your drawer because fellow fans won’t judge as they acknowledge your awesome Star Wars apparel with a casual head nod, smile, fist bump, or high five.

Brush up on your Star Wars knowledge

USA Today has 13 very basic ‘Star Wars’ things to know if you’ve never seen the movie and the video above sums up Skywalker family history in 3 minutes. 

Ask Alexa

Every morning Thomas wakes up and says good morning to Alexa, our Amazon Alexa. She dutifully tells him the date and an interesting factoid about the day before he asks her about the weather but this morning he decided to have a little fun with her. He asked her a bunch of Star Wars-related questions, including trying to get her to reveal whether she was loyal to the Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire. We figured as a good droid, she’d be with the Rebels but she refused to tell us!

Maybe you can get her to share but if you can’t, Amazon has hidden some Easter Eggs for Alexa users and Star Wars enthusiasts to find. Try asking her:

  • Alexa, May the Force be with you.
  • Alexa, These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
  • Alexa, Come to the dark side.
  • Alexa, I am your father.
  • Alexa, Can you talk like Yoda?
  • Alexa, Tell me a Star Wars joke.

Think of your own Star Wars related questions while you’re at it, ask her to play Star Wars in 90 seconds for a Cliff Notes acapella version of the entire history of Star Wars!

Watch the movies in chronological order on TBS starting NOW


Star Wars early birds on the East Coast are probably already well into Attack of the Clones because to commemorate Star Wars Day, TBS started showing every “Star Wars” movie in chronological order at 6:40 a.m. (ET/PT) with “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace,” all the way through an 8:15 p.m. telecast of “Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi.” The marathon will be presented with limited commercial interruption for those who want to

Stream your family’s favorite Star Wars movie during an impromptu movie night 

Movie night on a school night? In honor of the day and it almost being Friday, have dinner in front of the TV and watch your favorite movie. If your family can’t come to a consensus about which favorite to watch, let each member stream their favorite! According to Amazon Video, over the past year viewers have streamed over 7 million hours of Star Wars!

Plan a trip to Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios

If you haven’t been to Orlando in awhile, now is the time to start thinking about a trip to Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios for your family of fans. Geek out at Star Wars Galaxy at Hollywood Studios with the Star Tours ride, Galactic Spectacular that makes favorite moments from the film come alive, the live A Galaxy Far, Far Away show that brings scenes and moments to life thanks to characters you know and love (or maybe don’t love so much!), and get some hints about what’s coming next in the Star Wars saga thanks to the Star Wars: Path of the Jedi film.

The Launch Bay is THE place to celebrate the stories of Star Wars thanks to the great exhibits featuring movie memorabilia, the behind the scenes film celebrating the movies, and the chance to interact with characters. Keep an eye out for Stoomtroopers who aren’t photo friendly but have some fun posing with Chewbacca or Kylo Ren once you’re inside. Also be sure to keep an eye on the hooded Jawas, scavengers who are always ready to trade you for your shiny items!

Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth be with you!

Annual mammogram = ✅ This might not the most exc Annual mammogram = ✅ This might not the most exciting way to start any day but PLEASE don't put off your annual exam. These days you don’t even need a referral if you’re over 40. If it’s been a year since your last exam, you can call to make an appointment directly with your radiologist so make that appointment, mask up, and go in the name of self care. ❤ More details about when you might need a referral in the comments below. Thanks to @notallwhowanderarelost1109 for flagging this for me! 💕

Marathon Month = ✅ I’ve never run a full mara Marathon Month = ✅ 
I’ve never run a full marathon and probably never will but I love a good @orangetheory challenge, especially Marathon Month! 🏅I love setting a goal for each class and watching the miles accumulate during the month. This month I ran 26.9 miles during 15 classes and since the month isn’t over, I can still add to my distance total. 🏃🏻‍♀️Huge thanks to the amazing @otfsilverspringmd coaches for all the motivation, especially Head Coach @jrauch13 who told me to go for the full, rather than the half I originally signed up for. 🧡 Feeling ready for my annual @stjude Memphis Marathon Weekend half this December! 🎉 #orangetheory #marathonmonth #otf #stjude #stjudeheroes

He met some members for the first time at the airport and will join the rest when he lands in Seoul. He’s very excited for this adventure and we look forward to hearing all about it and seeing all the great things he brings home from trading the many patches, T-shirt & neckerchiefs packed in his bag. 🇰🇷 #wsj2023 #jamboree2023 #scouting #bsa #usacrew16 #adventures

The following month I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder called Graves’ disease. 🩺Since July is Graves’ Disease Awareness Month, I’m sharing the story of my diagnosis on the blog to educate and help others. If you, or someone you know, is diagnosed with Graves’, they are at higher risk of developing Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), a separate but related autoimmune disease. 👀 To learn more about the symptoms of TED, common treatments, and to find a TED Eye Specialist near you, visit FOCUSonTED.com. #Ad #GravesDisease #autoimmune #overactivethyroid
I came, I presented, I exhibited! 🎉 I’m back I came, I presented, I exhibited! 🎉 I’m back from 4 busy, yet inspiring, days in Atlanta at the American School Counselors Association’s annual conference where I got to speak to counselors from around the country with @mrbriancoleman and @ask_listen_learn. 🗣️I spoke about middle school brain development and why prevention education matters. 🧠The middle school brain is undergoing rapid development and changes so it’s important for our kids to know about the parts of their brains, what each does, and how these various parts are affected by alcohol. I’m proud of the work I do with educators to share Ask, Listen, Learn’s free prevention education curriculum because I know when kids understand the science and facts about what their brain does, how it works, and how it’s affected by alcohol, they’re more likely to make healthy decisions. 💕 #ASCA23 #dreambig #schoolcounselor #educator #AskListenLearn #healthychoices
