May the fourth be with you!
Happy Star Wars Day!
May 4 is one of several Star Wars Days; “geek holidays” which celebrate all things Star Wars. This date was chosen because of a pun, or play on words based on the similarity between “May the 4th be with you” and “May the force be with you”, a phrase often spoken in the Star Wars movies.
Despite efforts to start a Jedi Church with 4 May as its Star Wars Day, as of 4 May 2009 there is no religion-supporting organization that promotes 4 May as Star Wars Day.
Typical festivities consist of inviting fellow Star Wars-obsessed friends to stay over, and then watching the series of films in succession. Lots of snacks, bring lightsabers and Star Wars-themed toys. Lightsaber fights in the early morning hours optional.
Other Star Wars Days include:
Universal Day of the Jedi - May 25
Life Day - Nov 17
