May the 4th and More(th)

Everyone knows “May the 4th be with you”. It’s like Easter. It’s the same for everyone. But then you have Revenge. Of the 5th or 6th? That’s more denominational. Like the sabbath. For some it’s Sunday, but others prefer Saturday. Honestly, since the Sith have the Rule of Two, it makes a kind of sense to celebrate both.

But you know what May really needs next on the Star Wars pun front?

“Return of the Jed-Ides”. The 15th! The Ides of May! The Ides are famous for being fatal to one emperor in Caesar, and “Return” is the movie where another emperor meets his own end. And I only realized that after I’d already come up with the pun.

And this year’s is on a Friday, which I just like because Fridays are awesome.

Happy “Return of the Jed-Ides”, Force friends!
