May 4, Rex Manning Day, and 10 more movie and television holidays

Why this day? “May the fourth be with you …” Do you understand?

General Dodonna (Alex McCrindle) used the “Force Be With You” benediction for the first time Star Wars Saga, when a rebel pilot is preparing to attack the first Death Star in the 1977 original movie.It took only two years to evolve into that more attractive variant: British conservatives took out the newspaper Advertising Declaration To celebrate Margaret Thatcher’s victory in the 1979 general election, “Maggie, as the fourth is with you …” Star Wars I will appeal to everyone). Disney, a company that never misses a marketing blitz opportunity, did a big deal in 2013 shortly after purchasing the franchise. Since then, especially on social media. This year’s celebration includes:

sales! Ebooks, stuffed animals, jewelry, clothing, Game download Gear, action figures, posters … If “Star Wars” is printed somewhere, it’s quite possible that it will be sold somewhere.Also: Premiere Disney Gallery: Boba Fett’s Book At Disney +. Sure, the TV show production documentary isn’t the most exciting, but there are at least a few new teasers and trailers for upcoming shows on Disney and Star Wars social media platforms. Surprise announcement.

(May 4th is also a reasonable excuse to hang out in Grogu’s jama and binge good things. Star Wars movie. Or to play with Wookiee. )

Where to stream: Disney +
