Although Jimmy Fallon's show was a little creative, and current:

Well, in June, actually, but it was still getting block-long lines. Don't argue with the O.G.

Re: YouTube Goodness
Well, since most of the other films have come on a variety of dates - not to mention varied international releases - May the Fourth works just perfectly as a "real" SW Day. It's just cool to have a solid, fixed date that we know when it is. AND it is a terrific pun.

Eh; I'm an O.G. fan .. but I find myself empathizing with Dustin's dad (in the comic strip above) : "There's a Star Wars Day? But why..? It's not like there's a Batman Day, or a James Bond Day. Is that only because you can't make a pun referencing one of their catchphrases on a specific date..?" ![Neutral :|](./images/smilies/icon_new_neutral.png)

Isn't there also some kind of Military day on March 4th? No, seriously. That's where you have to start drawing the line.droosan wrote:Eh; I'm an O.G. fan .. but I find myself empathizing with Dustin's dad (in the comic strip above) : "There's a Star Wars Day? But why..?

Re: YouTube Goodness
I think it's just a bit of fun.
You have a birthday every year, right? But you only ever had one birth day, a long time ago. Why keep celebrating it every year?
This is just a way for fans to celebrate their thing. It happens in May because that's when SW was released, and the pun has shifted it back a bit to a logical - and fun - position.
Yes, it's nuts that there is a SW Day. But then many people don't class themselves as Batmen or Bonds as a religion, the way that Jedis wanted it to be acknowledged. I think SW is just that little bit bigger than Batman or Bond, or anything really (except maybe for Trek and I think they already have their celebration date (isn't it Kirk's birthday?), though no reason they couldn't have their days too.
It's just fun for those who partake. I myself was stuck in a British election station all day yesterday, so no fun for me, but I just like that it's kind of out there.

Actually....
Batman Day is a big deal at the comic shops, though admittedly not well known outside of that.

A very short (but nifty!) experimental animation, juxtaposing forced-perspective drawings with a moving mounted camera .. the first half offers a time-lapse overview of the process; the second half features the combined effect:

Terrific animation in this recent Coke commercial...
Also, not sure how many people watch the Disney Tsum Tsum shorts, but everyone here should get a pretty big kick out of this one...
