Might the Fourth began as one thing that solely the diehard Star Wars followers celebrated, however now it’s basically an official Star Wars vacation, with Lucasfilm usually doing many alternative issues to have fun. Nonetheless, the day of celebration has solely expanded since then. Even Mace Windu himself, Samuel L. Jackson, continues to be celebrating two days later.
If Sunday was Might the Fourth, then that makes Tuesday Revenge of the Sixth. It’s an particularly becoming day of celebration contemplating this yr marks the twentieth anniversary of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and anyone arrange Samuel L. Jackson with a candy shirt that he is exhibiting off on Instagram. Now I want to trace it down.
A fast search reveals the shirt was apparently out there as merch through the current Star Wars Celebration in Japan. If anyone picked up an additional one and desires to ship it my manner, hit me up.
Star Wars as a franchise is filled with nice actors taking part in wonderful characters, however it needs to be mentioned, I’m unsure anyone else has ever loved being a part of Star Wars greater than Samuel L. Jackson. He’s talked in regards to the pleasure that he felt placing on his Jedi robes and selecting out his lightsaber. Jackson has continued to advocate for the concept that Mace Windu survived the occasions of Revenge of the Sith. Clearly the person simply desires to be in Star Wars once more.
So truthfully, if there’s anyone affected by a Star Wars day hangover so heavy that he’s nonetheless celebrating two days later, it might be Samuel L. Jackson. He often is the greatest Star Wars fan of all of them.
And Jackson isn’t the one one, as Bryce Dallas Howard, who has directed a number of episodes of Star Wars TV on Disney+, has lately mentioned she desires to direct a Star Wars spinoff with Jackson reprising Windu. She’s apparently even spoken to Lucasfilm CCO Dave Filoni in regards to the concept, although it’s unclear if there’s any actual risk it may occur.
Perhaps the truth that Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith simply had among the finest field workplace performances for a theatrical re-release ever will assist persuade Lucasfilm that there’s extra to be achieved with these characters. Most re-releases don’t transfer the needle on the field workplace, however Revenge of the Sith outperformed The Accountant 2 in its opening weekend, which exhibits simply how robust the love for the movie and the bigger franchise actually is.
Since I do not suppose there is a day of the month that rhymes with every other Star Wars titles, I believe we’re lastly achieved with Might the Fourth this yr. In fact, we’re nonetheless getting new episodes of Andor, and subsequent yr we’ll get The Mandalorian & Grogu, the primary Star Wars film in theaters in years. Celebrating this franchise is not going to finish any time quickly.
