Saturday, May 4 is known by fans of all ages as Star Wars Day. This year is particularly noteworthy as it marks the 25th anniversary of Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace. The movie was rereleased on Star Wars Day 2024 and Natchitoches fans dressed for the occasion. Of course, Darth Vader could not allow all that Jedi action to go unanswered! The local cinema had some extra security on hand in the form of Imperial Stormtrooper TD50029 who demanded identification to no avail at each showing.
