Tomorrow is the high holy holiday for all of us
Star Wars fans, May The 4th, and that means there will be plenty of fun to be had.
One of the things I m most looking forward to is the crossover special that s debuting tomorrow on Disney+ with
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!

Tuesday is May 4th, and thanks to a punny 1979
London Evening News headline and a legion of die-hard fans, it’s known the world over as “
Star Wars Day.” The headline about the election of former British Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher “May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations” inspired a grassroots movement for
Star Wars junkies to celebrate
George Lucas‘ galaxy far, far away.
May 4, 2011 marked the first organized celebration of
Star Wars Day, at the Toronto Underground Cinema in Canada.
ABC News’ parent company The Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, and has officially observed the holiday since 2013, with events at Disney parks and other celebrations however, the pandemic put a crimp in those plans both last year and this.
