        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We could all use some of the force right now.</p><p>&#8220;Star Wars&#8221; has released a heartstring-tugging new video montage celebrating the franchise&#8217;s holiday — with a not-so-subtle message in light of the <strong>coronavirus pandemic</strong> that might just restore your faith in the galaxy.</p><p>&#8220;Star Wars&#8221; Day began as an unofficial fan meme, occurring annually on this date because of the convenient wordplay on the film&#8217;s tagline, &#8220;May the <em>4th</em> be with you.&#8221; The holiday has since been officially adopted by the &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; organization.</p><p>The one-minute, 40-second video features sentimental snippets from various Star Wars productions going back to the 1977 original, and including <strong>spinoff cartoon &#8220;Clone Wars.&#8221;</strong></p><p>Halfway through the reel, a voiceover reads one line: &#8220;When you find people who need your help, you help them &#8212; no matter what.&#8221;</p><p>This day also marks the long-awaited finale to &#8220;The Clone Wars&#8221; (Cartoon Network), which began in 2008 but was abruptly canceled in 2013 during Disney&#8217;s acquisition of Lucasfilm, leaving viewers to wonder what had been in store for the final seasons.</p><figure id="attachment_15603112"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/star-wars-day-71-1.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/05/star-wars-day-71-1.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/star-wars-day-71-1.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span class="credit">LucasFilm</span></figcaption></figure><p>The series was finally revived in 2014 on Netflix for Season 6, then pulled from the streaming service as Disney+ launched in 2019. In 2020, the new streaming network gave the show a final season, No. ‌7, and a proper finale, which airs tonight on Disney+.</p><p>Last year&#8217;s &#8220;Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker,&#8221; the third film in the franchise&#8217;s sequel trilogy starring Daisy Ridley (Rey) and John Boyega (Finn) was also added to Disney+ lineup today to stream free for subscribers.</p><p>Meanwhile, Mattel used the holiday to drop their latest Star Wars x Barbie collection. The new line of dolls honors beloved characters Rey, C-3PO, a Stormtrooper and Chewbacca. Priced at $100 each on <strong>Barbie&#8217;s website</strong>&nbsp;or <strong>Amazon</strong>, the limited-edition figurines are the haute couture versions of the film&#8217;s utilitarian fashion design.</p><div class="embed-wrapper twitter"><div class="embed-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A galactic fashion force ✨ All-new <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/StarWars?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#StarWars</a> x <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Barbie?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Barbie</a> Dolls!Inspired by the films’ original concept art, the collection re-imagines iconic characters through a high-fashion filter.
