Clearly there are things they don't enjoy about Star Wars, but Alex and Molly still show how it's canon regardless. I doubt Molly or Alex will read this but thank you both for all you do. I hope you have a good revenge of the 5th even though sixth sounds better. :)

    Hello, Alex and Molly. I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks again for this amazing timeline. I've watched / listened several years in a row now. It's a great May the Fourth tradition. This year, my eight-year-old son and I listened to the whole thing on the subway to and from the movie theater where we saw The Phantom Menace (in the same cinema I saw it opening night 25 years ago). I was proud and happy when he asked if we could listen to the whole thing again the next day on the way to swimming! May the Force be with you both for many a fourth to come!

    Amazing that you're able to put this together every year! I watched The Phantom Menace last night in theaters and plan to do more to celebrate today! May the 4th be with you!

    I don't need to watch the video. I know it'll be great. Thank you Alex, for all the work you put into this, and have a great May the 4th!
