It's being held by LA's "friendly neighbourhood geek bar" Scum & Villainy
Star Wars fans can enjoy a May The Fourth party next week on a new 24-hour livestream.
The stream is being held in the famous Star Wars cantina by “friendly neighbourhood geek bar” Scum & Villainy, based in Los Angeles.
Revealing the line-up for the day, which features the likes of Kevin Smith, on a Coachella-style poster, the bar said: “Scum & Villainy Cantina has put together an event to connect you with your Star Wars fandom family all day long. And we mean all day.
“Scum & Villainy will host a 24-hour livestream to celebrate Star Wars with all of you and a ton of special guests. They would be honored if you would join them.”

Star Wars episode nine, The Rise Of Skywalker, came out last December. In a three-star review, NME wrote: It’s exciting, surprisingly funny and is stuffed with strong performances from its leading cast, especially John Boyega as Stormtrooper-turned-rebel Finn.
“Nearly all the unanswered questions are resolved and Skywalker feels sufficiently satisfying as a final chapter. It’s taken 42 years to get here, but (for now) the circle is finally complete.”
