Have fun and celebrate May the 4th Be With You Day with your kids, friends and family. And don’t forget about May 5th (Cinco de Kylo) and the next day May 6th (Revenge of the Sixth). It’s a shame the scheduled May release of the movie about millionaire hillbillies in space never made it to the screen. Its working title of course, Return of the Jed.
