May 4 is a day cherished by
Star Wars
fans , as it is their day.
A choice of date which refers to the famous phrase of Master Yoda, "May the Force be with you" (May the fourth / May the Force, in English), and which Mark Hamill also took the habit of to celebrate.
This year, the interpreter of Luke Skywalker has engaged in a countdown which began on Saturday.
The actor took up, with the humor that we know him, the words of the title of the Trashmen,
Surfin 'Bird
, on Twitter.
Surprise
Disney, which now owns the rights to the franchise, has also pulled out all the stops.
Its big boss, Bob Iger, first thanked George Lucas for having created this universe as cult as it is prolific.
As for the amusement parks, they also put themselves at the service of the Jedis.
But the biggest surprise, as Deadline notes, is yet to come and may well be on the dark side.
Palpatine's return to the
Obi-Wan Kenobi
series !
Ian McDiarmid, who played the big bad in
The Rise of Skywalker
, said at a recent convention, "There's a certain series coming up soon, timed right around the time I might consider getting very active.
Will you see my body wrap or not?
I can't comment on that.
But you will certainly feel my presence”.
The first two episodes will air on Disney+ on May 27… and maybe a new trailer by tonight?
