May The Fourth Be With You


Today is Star Wars Day. The original movie was released on May 25, 1977, but fans enjoy the pun. “May the Force be with you” achieved cult status, ahem, a long time ago in a gala… Well. You know.

The official Star Wars site has featured a countdown clock with a promise that “All will be revealed” at 9 a.m. eastern. It’s 9:20, and maythe4th.starwars.com redirects to Fox Movies. There I’m not seeing what the big reveal is.

The consensus guess seems to be a Blue-ray release set to hit the shelves September 16th with 40 hours of special features. Could that really be all there is?

UPDATE: A few annoying seconds where they ask you to tweet the day followed by a server crash. Yep. Apparently that’s all there is.
