Today is May 4th. Hmmm, that seems like a special day for fans of a certain science-fiction, quintessential good v. evil saga…

Ah, yes! May the 4th Be With You!

This incredibly clever take on a specific month and day of the year is a wonderful annual reminder of the boundless creativity of movie fans. The dedication to celebrate a beloved (to put it mildly) multi-faceted universe that debuted way back in 1977 with Episode IV is impressive and inspiring. Star Wars movies (excluding Episodes I-III), for instance, are as powerful a cultural force as, well, the force. The characters and worlds in a galaxy far, far away combine for a (surreal in so many senses) cultural phenomenon.

And the editing team at The Tonight Show took May the 4th Be With You to an entirely new level of awesomeness.

Funny cinematic mixtape that is.
