According to Lucasfilm, National Star Wars Day officially occurs on May 25, the anniversary of the release of the epic space opera in 1977. But May 25 is already taken up by Towel Day, a tribute to "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" author Douglas Adams.
The last thing we need is another feud between sci-fi fans, and we can never pass up the opportunity for a cheap pun. So we've decided to join the rebels with the day's salutation: May the 4th be with you!
Here are our favorite Star Wars quotes:
10. "Aaaaaaargh!" - Chewbacca, "A New Hope"
Han Solo's hirsute co-pilot may have been denied his medal at the end of "A New Hope," but he did get the final line of the movie. Chewie's voice was mostly remixed growls from Tarik, a black bear who lived in a zoo in San Jose, Calif.
9. "I have a bad feeling about this." - Luke, Han, Leia, C3PO, and others.
Variations of this foreboding expression appear throughout the Star Wars saga. In "A New Hope," Luke says it as the Millennium Falcon approaches the Death Star, and then Han says it just before the walls of the trash compactor begin to close. In "The Empire Strikes Back," Leia says it in the belly of the giant asteroid slug. In "Return of the Jedi," C3PO says it as he enters Jabba's palace, and then Han says it again after the Ewoks capture the Endor strike team. In the prequels, the line is delivered twice by Obi-Wan and once by Anakin.
