You’re not the only one surprised by the sudden announcement of the new “The Simpsons” short “Maggie Simpson in ‘The Force Awakens From Its Nap. ” For executive producer Al Jean and the team behind the long-running animated series, they’re still marveling at how quickly they turned it around.
“The Force Awakens From Its Nap,” which premieres at Midnight PT on Disney Plus, came out of an idea that executive producer James L. Brooks came up with in January. Because “The Simpsons” library is such a hit on the streamer, why not do a series of shorts where the show interacts with other Disney Plus franchises?

Star Wars fans, May The 4th, and that means there will be plenty of fun to be had.

Star Wars and
Disney+ said,
“Maggie is on an epic quest for her stolen pacifier. Her adventure brings her face-to-face with young Padawans, Sith Lords, familiar droids, Rebel scum, and an ultimate battle against the dark side.”
This won t be the only Simpsons special this year, either. Disney+ plans on more crossovers with other franchises!

Star Wars Day: what s its meaning and why is it celebrated on May 4th?
Thanks to a play on words in the late seventies to celebrate an election victory, fans of the Star Wars franchise were given a day to celebrate everything about it.
The advent of Star Wars Day was
purely an initiative of those who love the galactic saga brought to the silver screen by George Lucas in 1977. Upon purchasing Lucasfilm,
Disney has happily supplied fans with annual events and celebrations to for the 4 May occasion.
This year Disney Plus will be dropping the first season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch and the “Star Wars”-themed “Simpsons” short
