Yes, it is Star Wars Day, reminding us of the intergalactic battle between good and evil, of empires striking back, of clone wars, of phantom menaces and new hopes.

It’s also the West Midlands Combined Authority Mayoral Election, which – as glamorous as it sounds – isn’t anything like the wonderful worlds, characters and epic space soap opera adventures of George Lucas’ Star Wars… until now.

Yes, what better way (or so we thought) of bringing together these two glorious days than to mash them up for the most awesome and ultimate tribute to Star Wars since Jar Jar Binks?

Oh, how somebody should have stopped us. But no one did. What can you do? Enjoy.
