The mayor of Poughkeepsie takes to Twitter to reveal what Chewbacca was really saying when he was grunting for all these years.

May 4 is known as Star Wars Day, as in "May the Fourth be with you." Star Wars fans from across the world celebrate the unofficial holiday in their own way, with many taking to social media to share their love of the popular movie franchise.

Companies are also taking advantage of the attention "Star Wars" fans have put on the day, posting movie-related photos and memes while hoping to attract wannabe Jedi Masters to their brand.

The mayor of Poughkeepsie, Rob Rolison, even got in on the act by tweeting a photo of Chewbacca on Wednesday afternoon:

The photo includes a translated quote by everyone's favorite Wookie with the caption "In case you always wondered what Chewbacca was saying." Chewie's famous grunts and growls are revealed to mean "Believe in Poughkeepsie."

While we give the mayor points for creativity, it's highly unlikely Chewbacca would even be aware of Poughkeepsie. For one, Chewie's homeland is the planet of Kashyyk, which is located in the Mytaranor sector of the Mid Rim. And as the movie states, that's in a galaxy far, far away from New York State. But then again, I may be over-thinking things a bit.
