Today is May the Fourth. It’s a very important day for Star Wars fans everywhere as they day itself sounds a lot like May the Force… be with you. As such, we celebrate by going to Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland or dressing up as some of our favorite character. And in most cases, we watch our favorite Star Wars films. And since it’s May the Fourth, Disney has released two new behind-the-scenes documentaries: “Disney Gallery: The Book of Boba Fett” and “Light and Magic.”
“Disney Gallery: The Book of Boba Fett” explores the behind-the-scenes story of the legendary bounty hunter’s return to the sands of Tatooine with mercenary Fennec Shand, who together seek to claim the territory and crime syndicate once run by the late Jabba the Hutt.
