Cookie Monster later followed it up with, "Me find your lack of cookies disturbing. #MayThe4thBeWithYou."

Unfortunately, it seems that Elmo might not be a fan of "Star Wars." Elmo's last post was dated yesterday, Tuesday, May 3.

"When Alan said it would rain cats and dogs in May, this is not what Elmo expected," Elmo tweeted.

Sesame Street somehow pulled the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's official Twitter account into the mix, with them putting a spin on Anakin's popular prequel meme about sand. "I don't like crumbs," they tweeted. "It's coarse, and rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere."

However, the tweet failed to impress at least one fan. "C'mon, if you're going to give Cookie lines, at least type them out like he would," they commented. "That way we can hear it in his voice."

Another fan shared a photo of what could be Cookie Monster's co-pilot.
