Happy Star Wars Day… MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU
darn!!
i wish i knew about this yesterday so i could go around annoying my friends.
to think i could have been imitating yoda with “may the fourth be with u”
evryone would just think i have a lisp though.
This is great. I heard about it in school. I’m a die-hard Star Wars fan, and even I didn’t think about that.
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU…
It took me all day to figure out that not only was today Star Wars Day, but also just why today, of all days, is Star Wars Day. (Hint: Take another read of this post’s headline, and, if necessary, use The Force.)
And then, celebrate the occasion …
Just don’t celebrate enough to have a revenge of the fifth.
“Utini!”
CRUD. I REALLY wanted to annoy my friends w/ that.
yep same here. to bad!
um mellissa what does “Utini” means? Is it huttesse or something?
Anyone have information on the workprint of Star Wars WITHOUT John William’s score? Yup, there was one. Interesting: http://tinyurl.com/dn3wtr
Star Wars day is the same day as my wife’s birthday. How cool is that- I get to celebrate her birthday and Star Wars at the same time- the two great loves of my life. Lucky for me, she lets me get by with it, since she is a star wars fan herself. Can’t get any better than that.
To JediAllie:
“Utini” means “Come over here” in Jawaese, the native language of the Jawas.
Since I got married on this day in 1996, I can safely say the 4th has been with me for a while now.
this should be an official holiday. Start a petition to make it so!!!!
May the forth be with us all…
Here’s my little contribution to Star Wars Day:

Thanks!
Star Wars Day, and it’s my Friday?! Now I must go home and start my weekend right and either watch one of the TV series or the movies! This will be a day long remembered, every year, for the rest of my life!
“May the 4th be with you” has been around before the 2005 mistranslation that I read repeated in so many articles yesterday. The joke was not new when I learned it in 2003 as part of a yearly running gag at a job that I left in 2004. So I know the joke has been around longer than 2005.
It is still fun after all of these years.
I was born on may the fourth and I’m a huge Starwars fan.
i have celebrated star wars at my house i have been collecting for years i am only 17 but have evrything star wars except for the books i have most but not them all anyways i have been throwing star wars partys all year long but have not yet found anyone that shares the same love of star wars that i have i have met some people but there are not as many trilogy and prequal fans as there used to be.
hey sup louise are you a dude or a girl
just curious
Yay!
I found this out a few days ago, and I nearly wet myself!
I can’t believe “Starwars Day” is on my birthday! Yes, I was born on 04/05/96. And cannot wait until my 15th birthday which in in 8 days!
I love starwars, I always have done since I was little.. I’m a little nerd to be perfectly honest with you all :3
May the force be with you,
Lizzie x
Woo hoo!!! I know the 4th isn’t till tomorrow, but I’m super excited! This year (for the first time) me and all of my friends are going to school in full costume. We tried to get our history teacher to dress up too, but he said his Han Solo costume doesn’t fit any more…..Yes, my history teacher is the type of guy who owns a Han Solo costume.
I remember in the old days we use to celebrate May 25th as “International Star Wars Day”, being that that was the release day in 1977 and Lucas has released all of his IJ and SW films since then on the Friday closest to May 25.
@ JediAllie, what are you doing on a star wars blog, (and calling yourself ‘jedi’) if you don’t know what “Utini!” is?
happy starwars day to all may the force be with all of you!!!!!
[...] Happy Birthday Civil Beat and may the fourth be with you. [...]
I wish I known this a few months earlier!!!!! Me and my friend are sooooooo taking the day off!!!!!!!!! And I hope a revenge of the 5th dosen’t happen!!! Maybe us fans should make that a holiday too…To celebrate the end of the Sith! Or something…
I love the stars wars movies, all of them, but these guys are nuts.but i do admit to it being an instituion and i like that i think thats cool.
