Event Details

 

A long time ago in this galaxy, "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" opened on July 21, 1978, and a pop culture tsunami was released. The Star Wars universe is celebrated every year on May 4 - because "May the Fourth Be With You" is a pun too good to resist. 

Buckle on your lightsaber and make the jump to lightspeed! It's time to party like Wookiees on Life Day with these fun events. Did we mention free Star Wars books? We've got those, too!
