愿原力与你同在！ May the Fourth be with you!

星球大战日

光剑闪闪发光，机器人嘟嘟作响，让我们尽情狂欢吧！在这个银河系的节日里，从观看《星球大战》电影到装扮成自己最喜欢的角色，全世界的星战迷们开始尽情地享受星战的一切。今天的图片展示的是《星球大战》续集三部曲的拍摄地点：爱尔兰西南海岸的斯凯利格·迈克尔岛。这座被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产的地标建筑中，保存着一座由早期僧侣建立的六世纪修道院。在《星球大战：原力觉醒》中，绝地大师卢克·天行者曾在阿奇托星球上一座与世隔绝的岛屿避难，其取景地正是斯凯利格·迈克尔岛上的蜂巢小屋和石头楼梯。此外，斯凯利格·迈克尔岛上包括海鹦在内的大量海鸟，正是阿奇托岛上那长得像企鹅的波尔格鸟的灵感来源。所以，带上你的伍基人副驾驶，跳上你的星际飞船，在银河系的地球上，开启一段充满力量的旅程吧！

'Star Wars' Day

May the Force be with you on May 4, adopted by 'Star Wars' fans as the day to celebrate their favorite franchise. Many will recognize Skellig Michael, the island on our homepage, as the location of scenes from the 'Star Wars' sequels 'The Force Awakens' and 'The Last Jedi.' This UNESCO World Heritage Site appears in the movies as the planet Ahch-To, where Jedi master Luke Skywalker seeks refuge. Home to a 6th-century monastery with beehive huts and stone staircases, it also hosts a large seabird population that inspired the penguin-like porgs that roost on Ahch-To. Skellig Michael is about 7 miles off Ireland's southwestern coast, daily visitors are limited, and boat trips are canceled if it is too stormy. Still, the island attracts 'Star Wars' fans and others keen to see this ancient site, not so very far, far away.
