          It's May the fourth and, because the whole world is pretty much in lockdown, people across the internet are dreaming of a galaxy far, far away.

          Yes, it's #StarWarsDay and everyone is getting in touch with their inner Wookie.

          Here's the best content Australian sports stars, teams and leagues have served up so far:

          1. Melbourne Demons

          Max Gawn as Luke Skywalker? Brilliant. 10 out of 10 for the Dees.

          2. A-League

          The A-League has called all football fans a group of rebels. Make of that what you will.

          3. Melbourne Storm

          The Storm have snuck in a plug for a commercial partner, but we'll let it pass because of Cameron Smith's superb blank Han Solo face.

          4. Perth Glory

          "Yep, it's a thing."

          We find your lack of faith disturbing, Perth Glory.

          5. Sydney Swans

          Sam Naismith returned on day that wasn't #StarWarsDay. But hey whatever. B+ effort from the Swans.

          6. Wellington Phoenix

          Yoda as a false nine is a quality move, but misspelling Jabba the Hutt's name means that this is a huge miss for the Nix.

          7. The Wallabies

          Reece Hodge, Jedi Warrior.

          8. Western Force

          The Force! Of course! Classic synergy here from the former Super Rugby club.
