Friday Nerd Blogging: The Eve of the Fourth

3 May 2013, 2003 EDT

With tomorrow being May 4th, it is only good and proper that we mark the eve of that most awesome of nerd holidays with this video.


I have a serious case of envy.  It would be a heap of fun to do what it takes to join the 501st Legion.  I would definitely choose to wear a Rebel outfit.  But I don’t have the dedication or the skills to do what it takes.

All I can say is: May the Fourth Be With You.  And it will be with all of us soon enough as Disney starts kicking out new Star Wars movies on a regular basis in just two years.
