A special short from The Simpsons will be released on Disney+ in celebration of Star Wars Day on May 4.

Maggie Simpson in Rogue Not Quite One will see a coming together of two of the biggest Disney-owned franchises to mark the occasion.

Star Wars Day takes place annually on May 4, in a nod to the films’ famous phrase “may the Force be with you”.

The upcoming special will see Homer Simpson lose track of Maggie, who jumps into Baby Yoda’s hovering pram and heads off on a hyperspace- hopping adventure across the galaxy.

Two of the specials, When Billie Met Lisa and Maggie Simpson in The Force Awakens From Its Nap, have been nominated for Emmy awards.

The Simpsons is the longest-running primetime scripted television series in history.

Currently airing its 32nd season, the show has won 35 Emmy awards, seven People’s Choice Awards and 13 Writers Guild of America awards.
