If you're on the Internet, which you are if you're reading this, you know that today is Star Wars Day (because, May the Fourth be with you). It's the day where every Force-loving creature—droid, human or otherwise—proclaims their love for the movie franchise.
Perhaps you were alerted to the unofficial holiday by a far-out space scoundrel:
Happy #StarWarsDay. May the 4th be with you all!
— Billy Dee Williams (@realbdw) May 4, 2015Or maybe by a guy having an identity crisis:
May LaForge Be With You... #bydhttmwfi#starwarsday
— LeVar Burton (@levarburton) May 4, 2015Or maybe it was a brand, which wouldn't be surprising, given the sheer volume of Star Wars-themed tweets coming out of cyberspace today. Somewhere in the galaxy, Disney CEO Bob Iger is doing his best Emperor Palpatine impression, as every brand and its father is tweeting about his property.
Below is only the tip of the lightsaber of tweets. Take a look:
