Celebrities Celebrate ‘Star Wars’ Day
Being a Star Wars fan is serious business, even if you’re a celebrity — so it’s no surprise that on May 4th, aka Star Wars Day, plenty of famous faces took to social media to spread the message, “May the 4th be with you.” (See what they did there?) Leading the pack was Lin-Manuel Miranda, who shared a series of tweets in the early morning hours.
First up was a pic of the Hamilton scribe with Harrison Ford.

Next up was a shot of Miranda beside James Earl Jones, with a nod to the Lion King as well.

And finally was a shot of the star beside Riz Ahmed. “RogueTweet,” Miranda joked beside the standard “MayTheFourthBeWithYou” caption.

Riz Ahmed shared his own tribute to the iconic franchise. In the shot, The Night Of star poses with a smattering of Chewbaccas. As you do.

Amber Heard shared a shot of herself doing some pretty impressive physical training. She’s not exactly holding a light saber, but that’s definitely the idea. “May the Fourth be with you,” she declared.
