Pour the blue milk, crank up the Cantina song, and get ready to boogie-woogie-wookiee. It's May The Fourth — aka "Star Wars Day" — and all across our galaxy, fans are celebrating.

Some are hours deep into epic rewatches. Others are dressing up their pets, baking intergalactic treats, and exchanging themed gifts. A sizable portion of the fandom is even uh... getting "creative" with their searches on PornHub.

And then, a cut above the rest, are the league of Star Wars fan artists. Across social media, talented IRL Jedi are creating portraits of their favorite characters in honor of May The Fourth.

Here are some of the best fan art creations we came across. Notably, a good number of them honor Chewbacca, following the passing of the late, great Peter Mayhew. Enjoy!
