Disappointed Star Wars fan could’ve sworn Star Wars Day was May the Fifth

A man dressed as Han Solo has seemingly gotten his wires crossed after mistakenly thinking Star Wars Day was May the Fifth. 

“Oh, I get it now. May the Fourth sounds a lot like May the Force,” said embarrassed fan Simon Williams.

“I’ve never connected that before. No wonder I saw so many people dressed up as Yoda yesterday. Now you’ve pointed it out, obviously it makes no sense to have Star Wars Day on the fifth.

“I went to a Cinco de Mayo party last year dressed as Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi, and no one said anything.

“I feel like such an idiot. I spent all weekend hand-stitching this brown Han Solo vest and now I’ve got to wait another year before I can wear it. I suppose I could wear it for Halloween in November, but that’s months away.

“At least I’ll be prepared for when next year comes around. Maybe I could get an authentic Han Solo blaster for Christmas to make up for it. I’d be so excited on Christmas morning. It would easily be the best 25th of January I’ve ever had.

“I just can’t get over the fact that I missed Star Wars Day. As Jar Jar Binks would say, ‘Meesa feel like a right knobhead.’”
