Star Wars Day

May the 4th be with you! 

Globally, 4th May is considered to be '#StarWarsDay', as it corresponds with the franchise's iconic catchphrase 'May The Force Be With You.' I'm being a diehard follower of 'Star Wars' is indebted not only to its creator, George Lucas, but our 'Madurai Mappillai Vinayagar' (Sri Mappillai Vinayagar) theatre. Back in 1997, when internet wasn't​ ubiquitous, this theatre released the restored versions of Star Wars Episode IV to VI. Had they not released then, I would have known Star Wars only later. It is potentially a crime for a Cinephile.

In the current scenario of widespread pandemic, we all need some sort of force to be with us so as to protect us from threats not only of this world but the universe.
