If there’s one day that seems to divide Star Wars fans, it’s today.
Star Wars Day, 3 full weeks before the actual anniversary day of the original release in 1977.
Some say it’s a made-up holiday, but aren’t they all? Donut Day? Burrito Day? Sweeties Day?
I once read that if someone enjoys something, you shouldn’t shit on it and take away their joy.
Whovians have been making up celebratory days for a few years now, from the 2005 premiere date of the new series to the day the Doctor ‘dies’ to the day of the Silence. Trekkies have been celebrating First Contact Day and Kirk’s future birthday and Federation Day and Captain Picard Day, along with the series premiere date.
So why not let this day stand? Celebrate the anniversary on the anniversary, and let the fans who wish to celebrate today, do so.
Stop shitting.
