May 4 marks a beautiful day in the galaxy: Star Wars day! There are plenty of ways to celebrate — laughing at hilarious Star Wars memes [2], gawking over the best tattoos [3], and even going behind the scenes of Episode VIII [4], for starters — but James Van Der Beek had something else in mind. On Wednesday, the star shared a picture of his daughter Olivia in full Star Wars gear and sent a special note of gratitude to J.J. Abrams and Daisy Ridley [5]. "Thank you," he wrote, "for a strong, complex female heroine of little girls daydreams." We're used to seeing infectiously fun family snaps from James [6], but this one really takes it up a notch. Get another look above, then bask in the glow of these other celebrity Star Wars fans [7].
