Every May 4th, fans across the galaxy come together to celebrate the epic universe of Star Wars. Whether you’re a die-hard Jedi, a loyal Sith, or just a casual movie-goer who likes lightsabers and droids, Star Wars Day is your chance to geek out in full force. So—how do you mark the occasion? Here are five ways to celebrate May the 4th in true galactic style:
1. Host a Star Wars Movie Marathon
Nothing says “May the 4th” like revisiting the saga. Watch your favorite Star Wars films in chronological or release order—from The Phantom Menace to The Rise of Skywalker, or go rogue with Rogue One and Solo.
Streaming platforms like Disney+ make it easy to access the whole galaxy. Don’t forget themed snacks like Wookiee Cookies, Yoda Soda, or blue milk!
Bonus idea: Turn it into a pajama party with friends or family and quiz each other between episodes.
2. Dress the Part—Even If You're Just at Home
Celebrate in costume! Whether you throw on a Jedi robe, a Stormtrooper shirt, or DIY some Leia buns, dressing up adds instant joy.
Even a simple Star Wars-themed shirt or accessory shows you’re part of the rebellion (or the Empire—we don’t judge).
Tip: Post your look with hashtags like #MayThe4thBeWithYou or #StarWarsDay to join the global celebration online.
3. Play a Star Wars Game (Board or Digital)
Gamers, this is your moment.
Play LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, jump into Star Wars Battlefront II, or try story-driven titles like Jedi: Fallen Order. Prefer tabletop fun? There are amazing board games too, like Star Wars: Rebellion, X-Wing Miniatures, or Unlock! Star Wars.
Perfect for bonding with fellow fans or for some solo force mastery.
4. Support a Local Toy Shop or Artist
Many local toy collectors, comic shops, and fan artists mark May 4 with themed drops or sales. If you’ve had your eye on a new collectible, now’s the time. Or better yet, support a Filipino artist making Star Wars-inspired merch.
From lightsaber keychains to fan art prints, you’re not just celebrating fandom—you’re supporting creativity in the galaxy, Pinoy-style.
5. Reflect on the Lessons of the Force
Beyond the epic battles and cool ships, Star Wars is a story about hope, redemption, and resisting oppression. Take a moment today to reflect on those themes. Maybe donate to a cause that aligns with the rebellion spirit—like education, youth programs, or mental health support.
After all, as Master Yoda says: “Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.”
Whether you're cheering for the Jedi, admiring Darth Vader’s cape, or quoting Grogu, Star Wars Day is a celebration of imagination, storytelling, and the enduring power of hope.
So—grab your lightsaber, fire up the hyperdrive, and enjoy May the 4th.
And as always: May the Force be with you.
