"May 4 is often known as "Star Wars Day". It is jokingly said: "May the 4th be with you", in reference to the popular phrase in Star Wars: "May the Force be with you." The phrase dates back to at least 1979, on the day Margaret Thatcher was elected Britain's first woman prime minster. Her party took out a newspaper ad in the London Evening News that said "May the Fourth be with you, Maggie. Congratulations."[1]
Typical festivities consist of inviting fellow Star Wars-obsessed friends to stay over, and then watching the series in succession. Lots of snacks, bring lightsabers and Star Wars-themed toys. Lightsaber fights in the early morning hours optional."

When you do a star Wars end to end ...

do you start at episode 4 or episode 1 ?

maybe this should be a Poll!

but by the shortness of this thread I guess there are only a few die hard star wars nuts out here.
(I have my light sabre, and my luke and darth stand ups etc etc in storage at the moment (due to home renovations) ... then of course there is my signature as a give away too)
