May 4 is considered a holiday by Star Wars fans to celebrate the franchise’s film series, books and culture. The date was chosen as ‘May the 4th’ sounds similar to the series’ popular phrase – “May the Force be with you”, in which fans commonly say “May the fourth be with you.”
The line “May the Force be with you,” is spoken several times in the films by members of the rebel alliance (good guys) before they embark on a mission against the evil Empire.
Happy Star Wars Day!
