If you don’t stop seeing posts about Star Wars on the internet and you do not understand the reason, we will explain it to you. And today is not just any day: today is star wars day! May 4 was chosen years ago as the time on the calendar to commemorate the entire saga and for all fans to show their love for the story of George Lucas. Such is the case that we have not wanted to stop paying a small tribute either, this time with a nice video that has gone viral on networks about what a franchise film directed by the individual would be like. Wes Anderson. We assure you that the result is priceless.
May 4th, why is it Star Wars day?
We have already explained it to you many times, but it is worth remembering it for those who know the data first. He May 4, 1979 the british medium London Evening News published a note in which members of the Conservative Party congratulated Margaret Thatcher for achieving her new position as Prime Minister of the country. In the article it was written «May the 4th Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations» which translates to «May the four be with you, Maggie. Congratulations”.
From there, some ingenious fan had the idea of making a pun using this phrase and the one that is repeated so many times in the movies (“May the force be with you” – “May the force be with you”), replacing in this case the word “force” (“force”) with “fourth” (“fourth”) that sound very similar in English.
So we get the May the 4th Be With You that fans of the cinematographic universe like to repeat on a day like today.
Now with a Wes Anderson aesthetic
Just a few days ago we told you that the new fever on social networks, especially on TikTok, was to record videos with the Wes Anderson aesthetic. As you well know, this director has a very special way of making movies, where pastel colors, contrasts, a certain retro air and a way of very peculiar stagingwith a lot of static shots and symmetrical compositions.
Well, it seems that this trend has also reached Star Wars and just a few days ago, a YouTube channel uploaded a trailer of what a tape of the most famous saga of all time would be like if it were under Anderson’s baton. To set it all up, of course, he has used a AI -what a novelty- who has imagined all the aesthetics of the supposed film with the participation of well-known actors such as Timothée Chalamet, Scarlett Johansson or Edward Norton, among others.
And what better day to see it and have a laugh than today? We leave it below for you to enjoy and do not forget to activate the speakers. hit the play.
