Happy Star Wars Day! Celebrate With These "May the Fourth Be With You" Memes
May 3 2023, Updated 4:22 p.m. ET
It's hard to believe it's already May, but it's about time to break out your summer wardrobe and stash your winter coats away until the cold weather hits again next year.
In addition to the blooming flowers and Cinco de Mayo, one of the most exciting events of early May is the non-holiday known as Star Wars Day. It occurs every day on May 4. Because "May the Fourth be with you." Get it?
We hope you'll enjoy these space-tastic "May the Fourth" memes!
1. Winter came and went. Now it's 'Star Wars's' time to shine.
While a Star Wars and Game of Thrones mashup is definitely what all of us need right now, a collab is probably not in the near future. However, if you want Game of Thrones memes as well, we've got you covered on that front too.
2. Uh oh ... It begins.
And we can assure you this will not be the only place you come across a handful of Star Wars and just punny memes this year. But bear with us.
3. We don't know who mashed Mike Tyson up with Yoda, but we're here for it.
Also don't forget your manners. Respond to "May the Fourth be with you" as though you were in church. Another great caption for this meme would be, “A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.”
4. Unless you're still friends with a bunch of 'Star Wars' geeks.
And honestly, why shouldn't you be? We totally support it.
5. Found love in a hopeless place, some might say.
Oh, Princess Leia Organa. ... We definitely all need to rewatch Star Wars to fully unpack the plight here.
6. Come to think of it, binge-watching all the 'Star Wars' films might be the best way to prepare.
That way, you'll be fresh-eyed for all the shenanigans of Cinco de Drinko. We're certainly #blessed to get both of these incredible holidays in a row.
7. Oh, Diego, don't be mad!
Some of us literally slept through all of the movies but still live for puns and want to be able to play when May 4 comes around each year.
8. Hit them with this next time they come bothering you.
And then you can claim all your cool points.
9. Clearly, we're not all fans of puns ... *Raises eyebrow*
He lived as he died: telling dad jokes.
10. Rude much?
Remember this old meme format? Memes from a few years ago look so dated these days, but TBH we're totally loving it.
11. We fixed it!
OK we can't take credit for this incredible meme, but someone else did it and we love it. At least this one has the right characters!
12. Hopefully you treated yourself and slept in today.
Go back to bed — you deserve it!
May the fourth be with you — it only comes once a year, so we hope you celebrate the right way, with a blend of memes and Star Wars movie marathons. But most importantly, may you have the stamina to continue the festivities into May the fifth.
