A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Today, fans worldwide are celebrating Star Wars Day—a tribute to the saga that changed the shape of modern cinema and opened the door to a galaxy of imagination.

Here in Jackson Hole, we may be surrounded by mountains instead of moons, but the magic of Star Wars reaches just as far. Whether you saw it in theaters when it first premiered or discovered it years later at home, Star Wars brings people together across generations.

It is not just the lightsabers or the space battles. It is the story—a story of hope, rebellion, friendship, family, and finding light in the darkness. It is a reminder that stories—big ones, small ones, old ones, and new ones—have the power to shape how we see the world and each other.

At JHiFF, we celebrate all kinds of films. Every story matters, from the indie gems to the blockbusters that took over our childhoods. And few stories have done what Star Wars has done: turned a movie into a movement.

So today, we raise a toast to the filmmakers, the dreamers, and everyone who has ever imagined a better galaxy.

May the Fourth be with you. Always.
