First up, Maggie Simpson in The Force Awakens From Its Nap will be a new Star Wars-inspired short, bringing characters from the Star Wars galaxy to the fictional town of Springfield.
This will be the first of several planned themed promotional shorts from The Simpsons that Disney+ will release throughout the year paying tribute to the service’s various brands. We’re expecting a Marvel and perhaps even an Alien-themed one in the coming months.

The Internet Is Celebrating Star Wars Day
The Disney era of
Star Wars may have generated a lot of backlash and division, more than at any other point in the franchise’s entire history, but it remains one of the most popular, bankable and beloved brands in all of modern culture, and it’s going to stay that way for a long time to come.
Some supporters may have felt severely burned by
The Last Jedi and
The Rise of Skywalker for a variety of different reasons, but
Star Wars is never going to go out of fashion. Of course, today is all about a galaxy far, far away as fans celebrate May 4th, and there’s something brilliant about an entire day marking worldwide festivities based on nothing more than a pun.
