The day celebrates all things Star Wars thanks to the date, 4th May, sounding similar to the well-known Star Wars catchphrase.
The Skywalker Saga has nine films, released over a span of 42 years.
It’s still bringing in new audiences thanks to numerous spin-off TV series.
There aren’t many people who haven’t heard of Star Wars. Yet, this almost wasn’t the name of the first film.
WILL YOU BE BAKING THIS BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND? HERE ARE SOME RECIPE IDEAS
In the original draft, it was titled: Adventures of the Starkiller as Taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars.
Speaking of iconic elements of the franchise, did you know that the famous line in which the audience learns the truth Luke’s parentage was kept a secret from the nearly the entire cast and crew?
The script called for the line: “Obi-Wan killed your father”. Mark Hamill only found out about the true line just before filming.
For those not in the know, the first time that they heard the real line was at the primere.
IF YOU’RE PLANNING A PICNIC, YOU’LL RECOGNISE THESE COMMON OCCURRENCES
From lines spoken in the film, to lines actually NOT spoken in the film, it turns out that the word “Ewok” is never said.
When Star Wars: A New Hope was released in 1977, it generated over $775 million at the global box office.
However, this wasn’t the best-selling Star Wars film. In 2015, Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released.
It grossed over $2 billion, making it the fifth best-selling movie of all time.

Play Slingo Starburst
On a gaming site not so far, far, away, there’s a galactic adventure waiting for you.
Starburst is a slingo game, meaning that it’s a hybrid of bingo and slots, taking the best elements of both.
ENJOY THE NICE WEATHER WITH THESE TASTY DRINKS
It’s available on Sun Bingo, Fabulous Bingo, Sun Vegas and Fabulous Vegas.
Players can pick a price from 10p to £5 to pay and play. This impacts how much you can win.
That price buys you 10 spins.
With each spin, five numbers will appear. If any of those match with the numbers on your ticket, it gets dabbed off.

If you spin in three or more purple gems, you get an instant cash prize.
Each slingo moves you up the pay ladder, which is shown to the left-hand side of the screen.
You have to achieve a three slingos before you start to win prizes.
BEST FIVE PLACES TO PLAY SUN BINGO IN THE SUN IN THE UK
With each spin you can spin in extras, such as:
- Extra spin – This gives you an additional spin after your base number have been used.
- Block – This means you cannot dab any numbers in that reel for that turn.
- Wild – This allows you to pick a number from that reel to dab off. It’s the symbol with a little red joker hat.
- Starburst Wild – This acts as a Wild and allows you to pick a number to dab off. However, it then sits on the reel for the next spin as well, allowing you to pick another number to dab off. Additionally, it can help you to win instant cash prizes as the symbol can substitute for a purple gem.
- Super Wild – This allows you to pick any number from the entire ticket to dab off. It’s the symbol with the little green joker hat.
As you climb the pay table, you start winning spins on the Starburst slot game, which plays out at the end of your base game.
This 10-payline slot comes with guaranteed wins of up to 250x your stake.
PLAY IN OUR DEAL OR NO DEAL THEMED ROOMS
At the end of every game, you’re given the chance to win an extra spin by spinning a wheel.
If it lands in “extra spin”, you get to have one more chance at making slingos.
If you get an extra spin, you also get the chance to spin the wheel again and get ANOTHER extra spin.
This can occur up to five times.
MEET OUR 10/10 CHAT HOSTS
When your time with the extra spin wheel ends, the only way to keep your game going is by buying extra spins.
You can buy up to 40 extra spins, one at a time.
However, the cost of these extra spins increases, depending on the likelihood of you completing a slingo as well as how many slingos that means you will have achieved.
