If some other corner of the Internet hasn"t already told you, May 4 is Star Wars Day. (Say it out loud: "May the Fourth," "May the Force…" Get it?) Fans of the movies will recognize the island we"re looking at as Ahch-To, where Luke Skywalker went into exile before Rey found him at the end of "The Force Awakens." Fans of travel and history may know that it"s really Skellig Michael (the Great Skellig), with Little Skellig seen in the background. Together they make up the Skellig Islands, just off the southwest coast of Ireland.
