From building Lego spaceships to dressing up as Jedi Knights, fans around the world have celebrated Star Wars Day ahead of the release of the much-anticipated next installment of the galactic space fantasy franchise. In Australia, “Star Wars” enthusiasts built a five-metre wide replica of Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon ship, made from around 250,000 Lego bricks. Events were also held in Milan and Tokyo, where fans paraded as characters from one of the most popular movie franchises of all time, shouting “May the Fourth be with you”, a play on the film’s catch phrase “May the force be with you”.
