Star Wars Day May 4, 2022

This otherworldly desert landscape in Jordan might look familiar to "Star Wars" fans, who today can"t be blamed for blessing each other with the tired pun, "May the Fourth be with you." That"s right, today is Star Wars Day, an annual celebration every May 4 of all things "Star Wars." Wadi Rum, aka Valley of the Moon, in southern Jordan, stood in for the moon Jedha in "Rogue One," and for the planet Pasaana in "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker." It is easy to see why this desolate landscape was chosen to mimic an alien world.
