May the 4th is commemorated as Star Wars Day the world over, but neither was Saturday the 4th of May nor was it a screening of the latest Star Wars movie franchise.

There were a bunch of Aussie fans dressed up as Stormtroopers from the Star Wars movies trying to egg their team on at the Gabba in Brisbane.

And there was the Jedi Master, the all knowing, Yoda, too in the stands.

Alas, the Force wasn't with the Aussie spectators on Saturday afternoon as rain washed out the post tea session with the Indians poised delicately on 62/2.
