Today is May the Fourth, or Star Wars Day. May the Force be with You!
A Star Wars movie is distinguished by having a war using spaceships between the stars. Many of the movies open with a battle scene in space and starships flying all about. Revenge of the Sith has a notably colorful opening space battle sequence.

A starship with a hyperdrive can skip around the galaxy at faster than the speed of light. Now, that is the way to travel!

Yes, that's me from a few years ago with our flying club Piper Lance. It goes considerably slower than the speed of light.

On Star Wars Night at the ballpark, you can see many Star Wars characters milling about. Even our baseball players are renamed for the occasion.

Dreams of Space certainly fits our theme for the week. It can come in many forms. Here is Prince Harry on the set of The Last Jedi. He is clearly thrilled to be getting A-Wing flight instruction from Luke Skywalker himself.

My scarf for Star Wars Day is a new-to-me Sous L'Egide de Mars which celebrates the armor so prevalent in Star Wars. In addition, I've added my Mandalorian Mythosaur skull pendant.
