Football celebrates 'Star Wars Day' as Man City, MLS, Bayern Munich tweet

In case you hadn't noticed, today is May the fourth, which has unofficially come to be known as "Star Wars Day" because of the date's phonetic similarity to a famous quote from the movie franchise.

You already get it, so we're not sure why we're explaining it.

Anyway, football clubs the world over decided to have a little Twitter fun for the occasion, jumping on the #StarWarsDay and #MayThe4thBeWithYou hashtags with gusto.

Kicking things off, Man City went big with a CGI-laden extravaganza.

Happy #StarWarsDay! #MayThe4thBeWithYou! #mcfc pic.
