Fans trend ‘May the 4th be with you' on Star Wars Day

‘May the 4th be with you,’ had originated from the iconic catchphrase ‘May the Force be with you,' from the science fiction franchise. Netizens wished ‘Happy Star Wars’ to the community by sharing memories of their favourite moments through pics, videos and art for the franchise that is entertaining viewers for four decades now.

 Many shared their delight on some fan-made artwork of some films and shows making it to Disney+.

Among the major highlights for 'Star Wars Day' was the launch of the animated series Star Wars: Bad Batch. The series is set to feature 16 episodes in all and traces the story of a group of genetically mutated clone troopers.

In an interesting mash-up, one iconic franchise meets another, as Maggie Simpson from The Simpsons leads Maggie Simpson In The Force Awakens From Its Nap.

Star Wars Biomes and Star Wars Vehicle Flythroughs, which are virtual shows, too have been planned for the big day.
