Disney+ has announced its plans to celebrate May the 4th (a.k.a. Star Wars Day) with a new batch of content, including an animated crossover with The Simpsons.

Subscribers will be able to stream the new animated short, titled Maggie Simpson in the Force Awakens from Its Nap, starting at midnight tonight.

The special will find the youngest Simpson "on an epic quest for her stolen pacifier," as she faces off with "young Padawans, Sith Lords, familiar droids, Rebel scum, and an ultimate battle against the dark side," according to a press release.

The original short arrives alongside some additional May 4 content, including Star Wars Biomes, Star Wars Vehicle Flythroughs and a previously announced animated series titled Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
