Many Star Wars fans honor the anniversary of the release of the original film every May 25th, but recent years have seen Lucasfilm and Disney embrace the clever phrasing of "May the 4th" to honor the galaxy far, far away, with the yearly date seeing brands all around the world honor the franchise in a number of ways. The annual event will be taking place next week, with the official Disney+ Twitter account getting fans prepped for the event by asking them to share their favorite moments from the saga, while also hinting that their comments could be used in an official promotion when the date arrives.

Celebrate the Saga! Reply with your favorite #StarWars memory and you may see it somewhere special on #MayThe4th.

The account played coy about how the responses could be used, but with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker being made available on the streaming platform beginning on that date, it's clear that fans will be in for a treat when that date arrives.

Circle Is Complete

There are countless, but I'll never forget the end of TROS. As Rey Skywalker watched the twin suns rise, I felt an immense sense of catharsis that this Saga I've loved my entire life had reached such a beautiful, fitting end. Sunset to sunrise. The circle was complete! #MayThe4th pic.twitter.com/GqQXizBvS9

How Could You?

Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order and walking off in The Wrong Jedi was one of the most memorable but emotional star wars moments and had my kids in pieces. I clearly didn't cry, that was Coruscant sand in my eye..... How could you @dave_filoni ? HOW COULD YOU? ;-) #starwars pic.twitter.com/8YIwOpaE8l

Yoda's Wisdom

Master Yoda’s last lesson for Luke, and by proxy the whole message of The Last Jedi that failure is the greatest teacher, that we shouldn’t forget our failures but we definitely shouldn’t be defined by them. Such a powerful message. And seeing that puppet again! pic.twitter.com/d1M2zkhTXK

Activation Sound

When Luke first activated his newly built green lightsaber in Return of the Jedi. Ever since that activation sound has been my favorite. #MayThe4th pic.twitter.com/kSwd6HCXYG
