Just a quick little post here to celebrate Star Wars Day, May the 4th. I know this community is very fragmented in their view of Star Wars these days, but hopefully you guys can look back on the parts you do love about the franchise, with the minimum being the Jedi Knight series!

One great way to celebrate this holiday is to take a long trip back to the very early days of this community and early days of meme videos, and to check out the old "Jedi Knight Re-edited" video series by Eaglestriker. These are truly a product of their time, but are absolute gems. If you have never watched these, luckily 2 people have put in some effort into restoring them, @colonel-the-general submitted to JKHub a couple months back, and more recently @Link posted his restoration to YouTube.

Gaming!

As a community of gamers, I'd say the best way to celebrate Star Wars is to play a Star Wars game. It doesn't have to be Jedi Academy, but if it is, check out the event that the JKGalaxies mod team is doing right now with their new beta version!

Don't be afraid to hop in to other servers throughout the weekend either. I'm sure a few groups like JoF or JAWA are celebrating in some way, and they are generally public. If your group is planning something, comment below!

If you are a Fortnite player, they are having a huge Star Wars event right now with tons of characters and locations. I'm not a Fortnite fan, but I will admit it looks cool.

The Old Republic has some exclusive rewards for May 4th as well, if you are a subscriber, as well as Cartel Market sales, 50% off collection unlocks, and double XP.

Sales!

Of course, this "holiday" is generally a very consumerist one, with lots of sales and new products, which I will mention below. As more are posted over the course of the next couple of days, I will update this post. Note that none of these are affiliate links or anything. Just trying to provide for y'all. Feel free to post any others you find in the comments!
