Most of us have heard, “May the fourth be with you” at least once today. That’s right: it’s Star Wars Day! And what better way to celebrate than to take a trip down memory lane? Check out here below these photos of the original cast members of the original Star Wars trilogy, from then and now.

Sherlock and Star Trek Into Darkness star Benedict Cumberbatch made an appearance this weekend on the BBC’s Graham Norton Show, where he talked to the host about his recent role as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in The Fifth Estate, which opened in theaters this past Friday.

On the talk show, it came up that Cumberbatch, who also voices the dragon Smaug in Peter Jackson’s upcoming The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, is very good at doing impressions, for real people and for fictional characters, including for Chewbacca, the Wookie from the Star Wars saga. Cumberbatch then did an impression of Chewbacca while sitting right next to Han Solo himself, Harrison Ford, who had a look of shock on this face, as if he’d been transported back to a galaxy far, far away!

Check out the video of the moment here below, along with a video where Norton asks the actors if they’re in the new Star Wars film.

Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Harrison Ford was a guest to promote his new movie, the Jackie Robinson biopic 42.

Ford agreed to answer some questions from the audience, so long as those questions didn’t have anything to do with Star Wars, a topic he’s been swarmed about ever since word surfaced that he could be reprising his role as Han Solo for the J.J. Abrams-directed Star Wars Episode VII.

The results, as you might have guessed, are pretty hilarious…especially when his old friend Chewbacca gets involved. Continue below now to watch the video.

The New Zealand Mint is set to offer a very special new set of coins featuring the likes of some of your favorite characters from George Lucas‘s classic Star Wars series.

The first series includes eight 1oz 999 silver coins in two separate sets. The first comes in a Darth Vader helmet case (that even makes the iconic villain’s breathing sound when you open it), and features Vader, Emperor Palpatine, a Stormtrooper, and the Death Star. The second comes in a Millennium Falcon case (which makes the “jump to light speed” sound when opened), and features the dynamic duos of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, R2-D2 and C-3PO, and Han Solo and Chewbacca.

Disney has announced that Star Tours is coming back, and that the newly updated attraction will reopen May 20, 2011, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in at the Disney World theme park in Orlando, Florida. Star Tours is a motion simulator attraction based on the Star Wars universe created by George Lucas. It was first launched at Disneyland in 1987 as a creative collaboration between Disney Imagineers and George Lucas with Industrial Light and Magic.

The new version, retitled Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, will be based on a story set between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Anthony Daniels, James Earl Jones, and Peter Mayhew reprise their roles as C-3PO, Darth Vader, and Chewbacca, respectively, for the attraction.
