May the 4th (as in May the 4th be with you) has become a national holiday for nerds everywhere. It’s Star Wars day. To celebrate Star Wars day this year, I asked Steve Fitch, of Star Wars Reporter, to join me for a chat about the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker trailer, the new theme park, the TV cartoons and — oh yeah — that time he met MARK HAMILL. We also commiserated over the frustrations of a nerd parent whose child doesn’t obsess over fandoms like they do.
We also gave away a First Order Stormtrooper (Jakku Edition) to cap off the day. Here’s the video of May the Fourth. I have a topic breakdown below the video.

Thanks, again, to Steve for joining me for my May the 4th celebration. (You couldn’t see it very well, but I wore my Star Wars: The Force Awakens t-shirt from Torrid. It is very slowly shrinking, so it doesn’t cover things as well as it used to!)
