And make a note, young Jedi: some of the celebrating for May the 4th will happen in the days leading up to May 4\u2026because sometimes celebrating on a Monday is as problematic as serving a droid in a Mos Eisley cantina.<\/p>\n<p>So how do we celebrate, here in Denver? In ways as numerous as the odds of successfully navigating an asteroid field in a heavily modified YT-1300 light freighter: 3720 to 1.

On each of the three concourses, there will just be the usual crowds of people who are specifically not there to celebrate, but rather to just get to their gate. At least the airline employees will have fun saying things like \u201cWe have altered your travel plans with a slight delay on the tarmac.
