For Star Wars fans, let’s start the day remembering the great Skywalker saga and the struggle between good and evil! Why not celebrate the day reading a book or watching a movie?

When I was little… a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… I grew up
watching Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. I loved to imitate my favorite characters: C-3PO and the bounty hunter Greedo with an unforgettable scene speaking in Huttese with Han Solo. Who shot first?

Do you remember the wise Master Yoda and his unique way of speaking: “Do or do not, there is no try!” I can imagine Yoda saying: “Enjoying this reading, I am.”

Did you fall in love with any of the characters? How about Han Solo’s best friend Chewbacca or the wise Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi?
