One of Han Solo’s best known lines in the original Star Wars isn’t one of his many smart-assed one-liners—it’s a quiet little prayer to his own spaceship, one that goes like this: “Hear me baby? Hold together.” As we face another month of self-quarantine, sheltering in place, and doing what we can to slow the spread of COVID-19, “holding together” is the task at hand. Conveniently, today, May 4, is also Star Wars Day, the perfect time to remind yourself of (or get acquainted with) the greatness of the franchise. To help you with that, we’ve rounded up the best social distancing-friendly ways to celebrate today, from Reuben’s Brews’ Hyperdrive Beer Release to Star Wars Day on Disney+. May the Fourth be with you.

SPECIAL EVENTS
Star Wars Day on Disney+
The history of Star Wars Day is interesting in that there’s not really any history at all; It’s a dumb pun that some fans turned into a self-perpetuating marketing celebration back in the “dark times” where liking Star Wars was unpopular (Ed. note: Those times never really existed, Star Wars has always been a billions-generating global media franchise). When Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, people figured the company would finally graduate this fan celebration to the corporate big time, but it never really happened… until now. Disney+ has overhauled its entire look for the day, and is not only making The Rise of Skywalker available to stream, but it’s also premiering a new behind-the-scenes documentary on their breakout hit The Baby Yoda Show The Mandalorian, and streaming the series finale of The Clone Wars (in addition to continuing to stream the original trilogy and the prequels). The Clone Wars is the crown jewel here: Even if the final part of this four-episode arc ending the seven-season animated epic doesn’t quite stick the landing, the first three parts are so good that if it were edited into an actual movie (please do this, Lucasfilm) they would immediately become not just the best prequel film in the saga, but probably a top-tier Star Wars entry overall.
