May the Fourth is Star Wars day. This is either due to the fact that it is thought Darth Plageius established podracing on Tatooine on May 4, 32 B.B.Y. (Before the Battle of Yavin, the Star Wars equivalent of B.C.) or perhaps because the date is an easy pun on the phrase "May the Force be with you."
On this day, fans of the Star Wars film franchise host a slew of events throughout the world. Guangzhou, itself evocative of a cantina in Mos Eisley spaceport due to its diversity, gets in on the action as well. The events and specials below will sate the Star Wars bug for any fan of the series, regardless of their age or midi-chlorian count.
Ginstar
Calling all stormtroopers, Wookies and bounty hunters: Star Wars fans can enjoy a free 500-milliliter glass of beer or a cocktail tonight when they wear any piece of Star Wars-themed clothing.
Mafa Bar
When Luke Skywalker piloted his X-Wing on that fateful mission to destroy the Death Star he was listening to techno. It’s a little-known fact but it’s true – all of it. Anyway, in homage to all things Star Wars, the team at Hoodoo techno is throwing a party with DJs Tribes and Felix's Super Techno Journey at Mafa Bar. Entry is free and attendees can enjoy buy-one-get-one-free on Budweiser, as well as cheap Singapore slings, gin and tonics and shisha.
Suns
Dance like the Ewoks after the fall of the Empire tonight at Suns! To celebrate May the Fourth, the Sun’s team is throwing a banging Star Wars-themed party complete with intergalactic decorations and lightsabers.
