“Who says May 4 says “May the Fourth” for a lot of people. We offer you some intergalactic stations for the occasion”, can we read on the Facebook page of the transport company.

Thus, the Fabre station becomes Fabre-Laser, Laurier Mandalaurier, Pie-IX C3Pie-IX, Jarry Jarry-Jarry-Binks, Beaubien Beaubien-Fett, Acadie Chewbacadie, Peel Peelpatine, Lionel-Groulx Lionel Grogu and Viau Viau-Da.

Celebrated publicly for the first time in 2011, Star Wars Day is an official holiday highlighting the famous Star Wars saga. The date was chosen following a pun made with a famous phrase from the movie “Que la Force est avec vous”, which is pronounced “May the Force be with you” in English. This was changed to “May the fourth be with you”.
