May The 4th Be With You!

With today being 4 May, we celebrate Star Wars and all its various incarnations and the catchphrase "May the 4th Be With You" is one of the most popular in today's pop culture. Oh BTW, while I'm not a huge TV watcher - only turning it on for a few select shows - I actually managed to binge watch Star Wars: Skeleton Crew on Disney+ a couple of weeks ago. This particular series is really made for the kiddies as kids are the focus of the adventures chronicled in the series. Jude Law - who plays a younger Dumbledore in the Harry Potter prequels - plays a more malicious scoundrel in this outing as he helps, then hinders, a group of kids who accidentally find themselves on a runaway starship. Now, I'm even thinking about watching Andor! OMG, have I crossed over to the Dark Side? arrrrrgh 😂

I am not a Star Wars collector per se - a conscious decision made years ago to spare my pocket book any more heartache - but I have a few baubles made by Ferrero for their Kinder Surprise Egg line of toys and I've been using these in various capacity over the last couple of years for May 4th's. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed

Ferrero's take on the land speeder as driven by one of their Happy Hippo figures (the Happy Hippo line was a popular series of Kinder Surprise Egg toys). The land speeder was a separate purchase which came in a large plastic egg with no accompanying chocolate.
