Who would you say is the bigger Star Wars fan, Justin or your sister? No, that room used to be like plastered with smashing pumpkins and Nirvana posters if I'm remembering correctly. It's just my love for Star Wars in this room right now. You know, I wish for this, but unfortunately not. Yeah, we are, but we're hiding in separate rooms.Īmazing. Welcome to the podcast, Justin, it's great to have you here.Īre you and Caroline in the same house right now? Our very important guest this week is actually my husband, Justin, and we invited him on because he loves Star Wars. Caroline, can you please just introduce our VIP guest host for today? But I'm particularly excited and I'm frankly a little nervous because you brought an extremely special guest today to help us out with Star Wars memes. Yeah, as opposed to a George Lucas person.
So I saw them when I was a kid, but then it was like a long time until I saw them again. But Star Wars, I mean, I saw them, but I wasn't as big of a fan as others. I would say neither actually, because I was more into Indiana Jones actually, I was weirdly into Indiana Jones and Jaws and like those kinds of franchises. Were you a Star Wars person growing up Carolyn? Or were you like a Star Trek person? Or like two camps? They're joining a very interesting club in that way. I would bet that there are a fair number of people whose anniversary is on May 4th. It's surprisingly not like star wars themed in any other way, they just are honoring the day, I think. My sister is having a mini wedding on May 4th because my sister and her fiance are big Star Wars fans, so of course. It's particularly special for you this week Caroline, because you're going to a Star Wars wedding. I had never heard of May 4th until last 10 or 15 years. But we've got a holiday coming up that might not be on everyone's calendar, it's a particular Star Wars holiday, right? Caroline, we got a great response on your weed memes that you generated for 419. Disney has also enlisted Daisy Ridley-who plays Rey in the new films-as part of its Force for Change charity drive that has already raised $2 million (Disney is matching the first $1 million raised).We've been in the habit of celebrating particular holidays on the podcast. Under the auspices of Disney, the fan celebration has become a marketing department's dream: There are tie-ins at various Disneyland resorts around the world, offers on wide-ranging merchandise including DVDs, toys, books and costumes, and even a Star Wars cruise. Future films in the saga-five are still to come, including spin-off Rogue One this year-are also earmarked for December.īut that hasn't diminished the importance of May the 4th. Since acquiring the Star Wars rights in 2012, Disney broke with tradition by releasing 2015's The Force Awakens in December, although it still managed to make multiple box office records. (Fun fact: George Lucas's birthday is May 14, too.) It's partly due to films such as Star Wars (and Jaws) that the month of May has gone on to mark the start of summer blockbuster season-when film studios release their big tentpole movies.

The subsequent films in the original trilogy- Episode V: Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi-were released in May, too, and the tradition continued with the (better forgotten) prequel series released between 19. In fact, the entire month of May holds special resonance with George Lucas's multibillion-dollar-grossing series: It was way back on May 25, 1977, that the very first Star Wars film, Episode IV: A New Hope, was released.

Few movie franchises can claim a whole day celebrating their existence, but then again few movie franchises have spawned as many films, spanned as many decades or amassed as many fans as Star Wars.Ĭoined as a pun on the popular Star Wars catchphrase "May the Force be with you," May the 4th has long been synonymous with the sci-fi saga. Happy Star Wars Day and May the 4th be with you.
