May the 4th be ever in your favor

Yeah, yeah, the “May the 4th be with you” joke is pretty trite at this point.

^Okay, well, if Obama is making month-based puns, I guess it’s acceptable.

But at the same time, if there’s a day celebrating the Star Wars franchise, then we here on The Fandomentals are not going to balk at it. We definitely like at least 50% of it. Some of us even enjoy the prequels, and that’s just fine, son. So with the outpouring of love for these movies that you’ll find here, especially during this uniquely exciting era for Star Wars fans, we decided to collect all of our posts in one place for a very happy 4th of May.
