Today is May 4th. I used a vacation day (I've got a quite a bit saved up) and am home watching the Star Wars movies in machete order. Just curious if anyone else is celebrating this sacred holiday and if so how?
Star Wars Day is an unofficial holiday that celebrates the Star Wars franchise. It takes place on May 4th each year and is a day for fans to come together and celebrate their love for the series.
Star Wars Day is celebrated on May 4th because of the popular phrase "May the fourth be with you," a play on the iconic Star Wars phrase "May the Force be with you."
The first recorded instance of "May the fourth be with you" being used as a pun on Star Wars Day was in 1979, when the UK Conservative Party congratulated Margaret Thatcher on becoming the first female Prime Minister with a newspaper ad that read "May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations."
While Star Wars Day is not an official holiday, many fans and organizations hold special events and celebrations to mark the occasion. These can include movie marathons, costume contests, and themed parties.
Yes, anyone can celebrate Star Wars Day! While the holiday is primarily for fans of the series, it's also a fun and lighthearted way to bring people together and enjoy the iconic films and characters.
