Happy May the 4th

May the Fourth Be with You!

Here’s a longer list, though still incomplete, of those we celebrate on this day:

🌟 A farm boy who became a great hero.

🌟 A defiant princess in distress who took over her own rescue party and went on to become a great general.

🌟 A scoundrel who kept insisting he wasn’t a hero, until the moment he was.

🌟 Small beings with great power.

🌟 Clone Troopers who broke their programming.

🌟 A Stormtrooper who chose his conscience over conditioning.

🌟 An astromech droid who, in my head canon, broke his programming and acts from altruism to quietly become the most heroic being in the entire galaxy.

🌟 A bounty hunter who became the best adopted dad in the galaxy.

🌟 Politicians who refused to let democracy die and normalize tyranny.

🌟 A Marching band that fought the empire.

🌟 Planet-wide rebellions against injustice.

🌟 People destined for greatness fulfilling their hero’s journey.

🌟 People becoming heroes in spite of—or maybe because of—their circumstances.

We love Star Wars because of its classical archetypes and timeless stories, and also because it’s forward thinking.

When I was a little girl, I criticized fairy tales because at that time female characters were either good and weak or evil and strong. But I strived to be good and strong.

In 1977 Princess Leia was exactly the heroine role model I needed to see. And I’ve been in love with Star Wars ever since.

Which archetype is you? Which storyline is your favorite?
