TATOOINE — If you can believe it, some people hate the "Star Wars" franchise.
But those people have no power on the internet today. For today is May the 4th, a beloved nerd holiday to honor and celebrate the Skywalker saga, the ongoing battle between light and dark, and, of course, the Cantina Band.
So yes, of course Have You Seen This? had to add to the "Star Wars" white noise that will soon be bombarding your social media news feeds, because we all live and understand the life of a "Star Wars" lover. (I did not confirm this with the other HYST? writers, but I feel their approval somehow …)
Jimmy Fallon helped us out today with a post from “The Tonight Show.” It’s a video no one asked for and no one really wants, but it’s a video you will feel compelled to watch even without the force. Yes, it’s cover of Smashmouth’s “All Star” cut together using clips from the entire "Star Wars" franchise.
"All Star" is a song that is popular to hate, and only the brave say they like it in public, but I suspect that many secretly love it. Maybe we all just love to hate it. However you feel about “All Star,” you already know you’re going watch and enjoy this video. You’ll probably even share it with your friends and loved ones.
And if you’re not sure about watching, just “use the Force, Luke. Let go. Luke, trust me.”
May the 4th be with you.
