Star Wars Day, celebrated annually on May 4th, is an unofficial international holiday started by and for fans of the Star Wars franchise. A pun of "May the Force be with you," "May the Fourth Be With You" first appeared in print in 1979.

For years, fans, franchise actors, and production members have shared messages and memes on social media to commemorate the day.

This year, actor Billie Lourd, who played Lieutenant Kaydel Ko Connix in Star Wars episodes 7-9—The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker—shared a special tribute.

In addition to being a member of the Star Wars cast, Lourd is the only child of franchise icon Carrie Fisher. A cast member of the original 1977 film, A New Hope, Fisher played Princess diplomat-turned rebel General Leia Organa through six of nine films and other related Star Wars productions even after her death in 2016.

To honor Star Wars Day and her late mother, Lourd shared a photo on Instagram of her own children watching their grandmother in Return of the Jedi.

You can see her post here:

The photo features her 4-year-old son, Kingston Fisher Rydell, and 2-year-old daughter, Jackson Joanne Rydell, who she shares with husband, actor Austen Rydell.

The official Star Wars franchise account shared some love.

Before cameras, courtroom sketch artists served a purpose. Even now, a sketch artist can provide visuals to accompany reporting of trials when no other form of recording during court sessions is allowed.

The artists try to stay close to what the defendant, witnesses, and everyone else look like, but they can sometime veer into the caricature, as Luigi Mangione has found during his heavily publicized court appearances.

Comedian-turned-MAGA conspiracy theorist Roseanne Barr was reminded of the circumstances behind her now-infamous firing from the reboot of her classic sitcom Roseanne after she compared her exit to ABC's suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after President Donald Trump saw an opening to get him off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk.

Yesterday, ABC said it was suspending Kimmel’s show “indefinitely” after conservatives charged the longtime host with misrepresenting the politics of the man accused of killing Kirk.

Stephen Colbert Uses 'Late Show' Emmy Win To Epically Troll Trump's 'The Apprentice' Gripe

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has a long history of sore losing. He notoriously cheats at golf and carries grudges every time he's bested in court or in the court of public opinion.

During a 2016 presidential debate, former Democratic Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought up how Trump claimed Emmy voting was rigged when The Apprentice failed to win an award after two nominations.
