What’s ahead for the rest of May 2024

If you were asked to pick one single month of the year that could be defined as Star Wars month, May would be it. While December would be a close second, May was the month that saw the release of 7 of the 12 big screen adventures (yes, I’m including The Clone Wars) as well as hosting the gimmick holiday of May the 4th and the actual birthday of Star Wars on the 25th. Now May the 4th is past and Revenge of the 5th is almost over, here’s a look (via Paula Rosenberg) at what we’ve got to look forward to during the rest of the month (hint; there’s lots).

Enjoy a few days relative quiet before it all hots up again a week on Tuesday when George Lucas celebrates his 80th birthday on 14th May.
