It’s that time of year again. Even in our modern era of a new Star Wars movie every year, May 4 (as in, “May the Fourth be with you”) remains a rallying point for fans of the franchise. Plenty of famous faces posted tweets celebrating this year’s Star Wars Day, including Mark Hamill, Natalie Portman, and the crew of NASA’s International Space Station.
“This Star Wars Day, say something ‘bout the motherf—ing prequels, b—,” Portman wrote on Instagram, quoting her defense of the much-maligned Star Wars prequel from her recent Saturday Night Live episode.
Luckily for Portman, it seems like NASA also has some prequel defenders. The organization tweeted a photo from 2015 of an International Space Station screening of Revenge of the Sith (specifically, the scene where Jedi Master Mace Windu attempts to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine).

Hamill has put on the years for certain. It has been a long way since that fresh faced kid hit the screens in 1977. ;)
