MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU

May the 4th Be with you. Get it? It's May 4th, 2023. So, it is the unofficial Star Wars holiday on the calendar. There will be plenty of smirks and Star Wars mentions at work or in public today. Some will immediately get it. Others will take a moment and then go, "Oh yeah... Star Wars." Others will have no earthy idea what we are talking about. I mean, after all, tomorrow is an entirely different day: Cinco de Mayo. Right?

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Today we celebrate: May the 4th be with you. It's time for Star Wars trivia on Wiki-Pete-ia on the Shemon and Sheppard Show on ESPN Southwest Florida.

We play Wiki-Pete-ia every weekday at 4:45ish as we try to stump Pete with trivia. Warning: He's pretty good with Star Wars nerd stuff. So good luck. Maybe you will be lucky caller number 9 at 239-337-3776 or 239-337-ESPN. If you don't get through, feel free to play at home or at work with your family and friends. We have listed the questions and answers below! So get your inner Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader on and let's take a trip to a place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away! May the 4th be with you!
