May 4, 2018 | 7:11 AM

NEW YORK — It’s “Star Wars” Day.

Fans of the movie franchise are celebrating because Friday is May the Fourth, which sounds like the famous line from the movie, “May the force be with you.” It has been 41 years since the original movie premiered, and its fans celebrate across the galaxy.

Tickets have gone on sale for the next film, “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” which is slated to be in theatres on May 25.

A departure board at London’s Heathrow Airport features galaxy locations and characters.
