May the fourth be with you – said every Facebook post, Instagram story and WhatsApp status on this auspicious day.

This cracking pun was the deciding factor for the day, on May 4, dedicated to the celebration of everything Star Wars.

On this anniversary, there’s lots in store to celebrate including this compilation of funny (and cringy) Star Wars wisecracks.
