Today is Star Wars Day. How are you/will you be celebrating?

Asked by rangerr (15765points) May 4th, 2010

First off: HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!

How will you celebrate today, my fellow geeks?

Lightsaber battles in the basement? Check
A marathon of all 6 movies in one sitting? Check
Making Wookiee Cookies? Check
Wearing your favorite Star Wars shirt? Check
Something I’m not thinking of?

In any case. Celebrate here.

May the 4th be with you!

Would you expect this question from anyone else?

Also. For those of you tempted to say “Nothing.” or “Star Wars is lame.” or anything along those lines… move along.

I’ll just be rounding up the Jawas and making sure they don’t cause much trouble. It’s so much harder than it looks.

I’ll use force lightning to cook my tofu today, just to mix it up.

ragingloli's avatar

I love star wars. Commander Data is my favourite character!
I think I will make a George Lucas doll and burn it at the stake on the market place.

Jude's avatar

I’ll mess people up with my Yoda-speak.

“Mess people up with my yoda-speak, I will.”.

jfos's avatar

I’ll be watching A New Hope, followed by Empire tomorrow, and so on.

J0E's avatar

Probably try to use a jedi mind trick on someone. Oh, and quote Star Wars until it hurts.

jfos's avatar

@rangerr I know you love Fluther, but you might want to “clear your mind of questions” today.

erichw1504's avatar

I will be making spaceship noises as I drive my car and lightsaber noises as I cut the chicken for dinner.

CMaz's avatar

I am wearing plaid.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

I will throw Harrison Ford to the ground and make him scream like a little girl ;)

Pretty_Lilly's avatar

I’ll dress up as Java the Hut and my Nana as Princess Leia the slave !!
*Let me know if anyone wants pix !!!

Jude's avatar

I use to have the biggest crush on Carrie Fisher (Leia).

prolificus's avatar

Hey, I’ve been celebrating Star Wars Day since joining Fluther! Just look at my avatar!!

ucme's avatar

I’m recreating the battle on Hoth as we speak, using my son’s snowspeeder model ship.I may ogle Leia in her slave outfit later if time allows.May the 4th be with us all der der der de de der….

mrentropy's avatar

I’ll be buying the original trilogy on Blu Ray. Oh, wait, no I won’t.

Captain_Fantasy's avatar

Wait, why is today Star Wars day again?

ValerieTeacup's avatar

By, well, simply remembering Star Wars.

prolificus's avatar

@Captain_Fantasy – it was stated in the original question. May the 4th be with you. It’s a play on “May the force be with you.”

Captain_Fantasy's avatar

So it’s arbitrary then. A fan day as it were.

Cool. Rock on.

cockswain's avatar

I’m just going to keep looking for those fucking droids.

prolificus's avatar

@Captain_Fantasy – In L.A., May 25th is the official Star Wars Day. May 4th is the unofficial Star Wars Day for all others.

Michael_Huntington's avatar

I think it’s funny how there’s a Star Trek TNG marathon going on today.

MissAusten's avatar

I’m going to watch Empire Strikes Back and say every single line along with the characters, then fondly remember the days when Han Solo was the greatest love of my life.

Stop that. Stop what. My hands are dirty. My hands are dirty too. What are you afraid of? You’re trembling. I’m not trembling. You like me because I’m a scoundrel. There aren’t enough scoundrels in your life. I happen to like nice men. I’m a nice man. No you’re not, you… smoochiesmoochie

deni's avatar

my plane leaves for Hoth in a little less than an hour! so excited.

wilma's avatar

“That’s no moon….
it’s a space station.”

“Who’s scruffy lookin’?”

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@ragingloli Commander Data is in Star Trek (TNG). This is Star WARS. Two totally different things…

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

Watching the Original Trilogy. Because the prequels make my soul die.

broncosgirl's avatar

I will be using the force to open doors, pour my orange juice, feed the dog. Just helpin out my everyday tasks :)

earthduzt's avatar

I can do a kick ass Wookie howl, so I’ll be doing that at work today :)

Seek's avatar

Just wanted to pop in and say “May the Fourth be with you.”

I’m going back to my Star Trek: TNG marathon now. ^_^

erichw1504's avatar

”@rangerr… I am your jelly.”

Sarcasm's avatar

@Captain_Fantasy Not really arbitrary. You know, “May the force be with you” -> “May the force” -> “May the fourth” -> “May fourth”

To celebrate Star Wars day, I will not be doing anything special. Because these aren’t the droids I’m looking for.

cockswain's avatar

Make out with my sister

rangerr's avatar

@Pretty_Lilly Um. Who is Java the Hut?

MissAusten's avatar

@rangerr He’s Jabba’s brother, the one that trades coffee on the black market.

prolificus's avatar

@cockswain – GROSS!!! They didn’t know!!! They didn’t!!!!! It wasn’t their fault!!!!!!!!! And it was hands off once they learned the truth!!!!! O_O

rangerr's avatar

@prolificus It still happened. !!!!!!!!!!

Pretty_Lilly's avatar

@rangerr It’s Jabba’s Seattle based cousin ! He’s mixed race,his full name is Mocha Java That Hut !!
Smart Ass !!

J0E's avatar

I like to say “hello there” like Obi Wan.

AstroChuck's avatar

By not watching Star Wars. Also by picking up my mower from the repair shop. Followed by picking my daughter up from school.
Whoopieee!

J0E's avatar

@AstroChuck I think you meant “Wookieee!”

Pretty_Lilly's avatar

@J0E No, AstroChuck meant Whoopie ,,,He’ gonna watch “The View” which he recorded on his DVR !!

cockswain's avatar

@prolificus Whatever, that’s just how we always celebrate this day. Don’t judge us.

GGGGGLLLLLLUUUUUUUUNNNGGGNUUUNGGGGG – virtual wookiee call

judochop's avatar

If I have to hear “may the 4th be with you” one more time I am going to whip out my light saber and go dark side.

cockswain's avatar

@deni I could totally hear that in my head. Very impressive onomatopoeia.

Dr_C's avatar

I annoyed the fuck out of everyone at the test prep center with my lightsaber for iphone app (iSaber) making a bunch of lightsaber sounds. No one knew where they were coming from.

Wore my imperial vet clinic shirt (you of all people should know this shirt @rangerr) and plan to watch one of the movies picked at random tonight with the fiancee.

But seriously all the “may the 4th be with you” tweets are getting old.

rangerr's avatar

@Dr_C I LOVE THAT SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr_C's avatar

@rangerr and the shirt loves you too

deni's avatar

@cockswain thank you and i am equally as impressed by you for using the word “onomatopoeia” outside of a middle school english class! bravo bravo

cockswain's avatar

I have a middle school aged daughter.

deni's avatar

hahahha. and i have a middle school teacher as a boyfriend. we’re both in the middle school loop.

filmfann's avatar

Gotta share this again.

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

Damnit! I can’t believe I missed Star Wars day! That’s what I get for being responsible.
<shakes fist>
Well, to hell with calendars, I’ll just celebrate it today. I’ll make spaghettios and watch all the movies.

J0E's avatar

Today is Dark Lord of the 5th day…

Cinco De Mayo hangovers = revenge of the 5th.
