Celebrating Star Wars Day 2018
Today, May 4th is Star Wars Day 2018; I’m including the fun celebrating at Heathrow Airport.
There is also an article over at Travel & Leisure with a recap of Heathrow Airport Departure Board.
And we wrap up with a Star Wars rubber stamp we can use with our letter writing.
Twitter @HeathrowAirport 4:35 AM – 4 May 2018: “Good morning from Heathrow. The force is strong with us today and we’ve got some special new routes. Will you be travelling to galaxies near… or far, far away? #Maythe4th #MayTheFourth #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWarsDay “Twitter: @Andrew_Coley 4:11 AM – 4 May 2018: “The Force is strong with @HeathrowAirport departure board; this won’t be beaten on @starwars day! #MayThe4thBeWithYou. Spotted by @Atters_J, epic work @HeathrowAirport. @DeathStarPR #StarWarsDay”

Among the destinations includes Tattooine, Jakku, Endor and many other planets from the Star Wars galaxy.
The board itself is riddled with tons of in-jokes and references to the sci-fi franchise. While flights to Tattooine and Endor are on time, anyone who wishes to travel to Alderaan is out of luck. (For those who don’t already know, Alderaan was the planet destroyed by the Empire and Princess Leia’s homeworld.)…”
As we wrap up, I’m including a list of previous Star Wars posts with stationery, stamps, fountain pens, and letter writing – perfect for “May The Fourth Be With You” sentiments.
