If you are a pop culture fan then Star Wars is undoubtedly ticked off your charts. Every year on May 4th fans from all over the globe come together to observe an informal commemorative day known as STAR WARS Day. The day is marked to celebrate George Lucas’ Star Wars media franchise.
- The date originates from the pun “May the Fourth be with you” which is derived from the iconic phrase “May the Force be with you”. Interestingly Lucasfilm never declared such holiday but many Star Wars fans across the world started celebrating this holiday which later made Lucasfilm and the parent company Disney embrace it as an annual festivity.
