Happy Star Wars Day!

"May the 4th be with You!"  

Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope was released in May 25, 1977, but fans from across the planet celebrate what is unofficially known as  "Star Wars Day" today, May 4, in obvious reference to one the most famous and enduring quotes in the George Lucas saga.

Lucasfilms earlier announced that a major event will launched today, and if you visit the website http://maythe4th.starwars.com you will be taken to a countdown clock to 6am PST that says "ALL WILL BE REVEALED".



What will be the big revelation? The front page of starwars.com shows the Tantive IV scene where Leia records her holographic message with Artoo, the blu-ray logo and the title "Star Wars The Complete Saga."   But is this whole countdown hullabaloo all about the the launching of the new Star Wars Blu-Ray set? Or could there be more revelations, like a new Star Wars movie, the recognition of the Mos Eisley Carinderia, or the execution of Order 66? (Yikes!)

Your guess is as good as mine. Carinderia patrons, we'll have to wait til 6:00am PST to find out. Until then, it's open bar at the Carinderia with guest bartender Wuher and a round of Merenzane Gold on the house!
