DALLAS (KDAF) — May the 4th be with you! It’s Star Wars Day, and the puns are strong with this one.
The movie Star Wars captured American pop culture like a Jedi wielding a lightsaber. Nearly forty years later and its impact is still felt throughout Hollywood and beyond.
Today is National Star Wars Day where we celebrate our favorite scenes, actors, and the movie franchise itself. “In late 2012, Disney purchased Lucasfilm and has officially observed the holiday at Disneyland and Walt Disney World ever since,” National Today said.
