Thanks to the wonders of the International Dateline, Australia and much of Asia get to celebrate Star Wars on "May the 4th Be With You" day for a good few hours before the rest of the world wakes up.
And celebrate it they did. With parades, tweets and cosplay, people were nerding out on Monday from Sydney to Seoul.
There were Stormtroopers browsing in multiple Australian libraries.
