May the 4th be with you

From Afternoons, 1:20 pm today

Today is May the fifth. Which means yesterday was May the fourth, Star Wars Day and it still is in many parts of the world.

This annual celebration of a film franchise that has produced prequels, sequels and spin offs is testament to the enduring popularity of a film universe that first graced our screens almost fifty years ago. 

Jesse checks in with Kevin Kirtlan, retired plumber and member of the 501st Legion, a group of Star Wars fans who regularly dress up as Star Wars bad guys for fun and for charity.
