That sound you hear is thousands of excited blerds fighting each other with plastic lightsabers to celebrate Star Wars Day–May the 4th–where cosplayers, Sci-Fi lovers and space-obsessed geeks show their undying love for one of the most iconic film franchises of all-time.
If you didn’t know, May the 4th is a play on the sacred salutation “may the force be with you” repeated by Jedi knights (like Luke Skywalker) who use the mystical energy field to battle the dark side throughout the classic 9-movie saga (you can stream on Disney+ if you haven’t already).
Oh yes, today is a big deal across the galaxy so it’s only right that we celebrate the cosplaying blerds currently showing out on social media.
“Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you!!! Guess I’ll be watching ALL NINE of the movies today…perfect since I ain’t goin anywhere!! #starwarsday #happystarwarsday #maythe4thbewithyou #maytheforcebewithyou #nerdshow” – THE LIGHTSABER BATTLE
“May the 4th be with you @khalil_pheonix #cosplay #cosplayer #marvel #dc #comics #anime #blackcosplayer #amateurcosplayer #nerd #geek #blerd #cosplaygirl #animegirl” – they were not playing with those lightsabers
