JC: Utilizing something similar to the electricity of lighting is on the right track. But plasma would be difficult to contain. For everything we do in the lab generating plasma, we use a chamber. We want to bombard a surface with a specific type of atom, so we pull a vacuum and generate a plasma in that vacuum chamber. The open-air part is tricky.
May The Fourth Be With You 3
Thanks to the pun "May the fourth be with you," we now have Star Wars Day, which has become more like a real holiday in recent years. (Get it? It's a play on "may the Force be with you.") The event's become even bigger since Disney purchased Lucasfilm and the Star Wars movie franchise in 2012. Since then, May 4 has been a major platform for Star Wars merchandise sales and fan events, with states like California enshrining May 4 as an official Star Wars Day holiday. But the actual origins of Star Wars Day and "May the fourth be with you," stretch all the way back to the 1970s, when it was first popularized by an unexpected source: Margaret Thatcher and the United Kingdom's Conservative Party.
According to StarWars.com, who cite Alan Arnold's 1980 book Once Upon a Galaxy: A Journal of the Making of The Empire Strikes Back, "May the 4th be with you" first emerged in the mainstream pop culture on May 4, 1979. On that day, Margaret Thatcher became the first woman Prime Minister of the U.K. after the Conservatives defeated the Labour Party government in a general election.
To celebrate, the Tories took out a newspaper ad, which declared, "May The Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations." The Force was indeed with Thatcher, with the day inaugurating the longest Ministry of the 20th century.
The pun on "May the Force be with you" popped up several more times over the years, including once more in a U.K. parliamentary debate, but wouldn't be directly linked with a Star Wars-themed holiday until 2008, when a Facebook group celebrating "Luke Skywalker Day" adopted the May the Fourth slogan. Since then, May 4 has been a consistent day for fandom celebration, with Disney joining in from 2013 on.
1. May the Fourth be with you. Celebrating the Star Wars film franchise, Star Wars Day is observed by fans on May the Fourth, an obvious pun on the popular Jedi phrase "May the Force be with you." Taking puns a step further, May 5 has come to be called "Revenge of the Fifth," a play on "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith," a day for fans to join the "dark side" and celebrate the Sith lords from the Star Wars movies.
It is very much OK to mourn over this season. We all have good reason to. The gravitas of this pandemic has been heavy, if not, straight-up scary. Yet, the Lord is so good to be with us through all emotions. He promises to never fail us and will see us through this life on earth (John 14:1-4; Matthew 28:20).

In addition to this, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) and the documentary series Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian (2020) were also released to Disney+ on Star Wars Day 2020.
