What’s going on at DFW airport?

Even if they’re not going to Alderaan, they’re going to pay an arm and a leg to where ever they’re going on account of the Trade Federation’s “perfectly legal” blockade.

The one Monday when i didn't have to catch a flight and stuff happens at the airport.

Star Trek characters celebrating the day before Cinco de Mayo.

Today is May 4th if you know you know

savannah31401@reddit

Lol! I was saying we should change it to and with the force. This thread is exposing the Catholics for Star Wars krewe

[-]

Careless-Ad-6328@reddit

Yeah... that's the whole Catholic deal...

Lift up your hearts… oh wait. Wrong quote.

[-]

savannah31401@reddit

Since it has changed to and with your spirit, I promote and with the force

[-]

BlanchDaddius@reddit

To this day I always still say the old version haha.

[-]

Careless-Ad-6328@reddit

I only learned this was the "old" version last year!

[-]

savannah31401@reddit

Word. I still say it. I went a few years without doing to Mass and all hell changed. When John Mulany brought it up and O didn't feel alone

[-]

BlanchDaddius@reddit

Same. I came back to church regularly and was like HOLD UP. WAIT A MINUTE. SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT.

[-]

savannah31401@reddit

Hmmmm....it is now and with your spirit. So, how about and with the force

[-]

satanlovesyou94@reddit

Tell me why the highway billboards say "may the 4 with you be"

These are not the droids that you are looking for

[-]

pin5npusher5@reddit

This makes no sense according to the Star wars timeline

[-]

codekb@reddit

Was this in the new terminal built around 2019?

[-]

bad_syntax@reddit

Nothing to see here.

These are not the troopers you are looking for.

Move along.

[-]

okichi@reddit

Word is they’re looking for a couple of droids.

[-]

xEllimistx@reddit

I’ll try spinning! That’s a good trick!

[-]

FlyNSubaruWRX@reddit

Is this Startrek related? That’s super cool

[-]

elbandidoesplendido@reddit

What do you mean? I just see people sitting in line ready for deployment at the nearest star base. What else are they supposed to be doing?

[-]

Informal_Guitar_2649@reddit

Yes yes May the Fourth. But why costumes at the airport of all places? Is there an event there? Are these people traveling to a convention?

[-]

ThatOneGuyDotNet@reddit

Right? Like everyone in here commenting as if OP has no idea about SW or May 4th, but neither of those responses actually answers the question.

In the video they talk about last year going through an employee entrance, whatever they're doing seems to be an annual thing, but I don't know how or why it involves the airport.

I'd be surprised if they're going to a con because I would expect that they would arrive earlier than day-of if they're this excited about the theme. But, right now it feels like the most likely answer.

DFW Airport has been inviting us out since 2023 for May 4th with their social media team to celebrate Star Wars day.

[-]

ThatOneGuyDotNet@reddit

Awesome. That sounds like a lot of fun.

And thanks for the answer!

[-]

Informal_Guitar_2649@reddit

Or maybe they are airport / vendor staff and it's a thing they do? Like I once had a job where we wore bow ties on Tuesdays... because it was funny and we got a kick out of it. It started as a prank and then we just kept going... did that happen at DFW and now it's a tradition?

[-]

rektek246@reddit

That Captain Rex armor is so tough 😭

[-]

minolan2026@reddit

You've never heard of "May the 4th be with you" day?

[-]

BlueBloodOrangeFever@reddit

Dumb baby dumb traveling?!? How are you this dense yet can afford to travel.

[-]

Bluescreen73@reddit

You may think you're cool cosplaying May the 4th at the airport, but everybody behind you in line waiting for you to take off everything that could possibly set off the metal detector is thinking "what an asshole."

[-]

crabsonfire@reddit

Personally I’m fine with spending a couple more minutes in line if that means people are having fun. We need more fun in this world, this beats a line of mopey people every day.

[-]

Live_Ad8778@reddit

Plus looks like they got AA bringing them through, so probably not flier but to bring whimsy to the airport.

[-]

AliCornetti@reddit

Yeah, this is an event specifically organized by the airport to have a little fun for May the 4th (Star Wars Day). They get brought through security by staff, they’re not just randoms.

[-]

ThatOneGuyDotNet@reddit

Believe it or not... one can stand at the back of the tables while you load up your trays and tell people they can go in front of you while you do so.

I've done it 4 times in the last week because I have been flying around to several cities with a lot of electronics that need unpacked at each airport. It's not hard.

Maybe don't assume the worst of people when you have zero context? (Also, not that hard for most of us)
