Star Wars Day — May the Fourth (Force) Be With You

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…”

May 4th was adopted by Star Wars fans as a day to celebrate the movies. It was chosen for its pun on “May the Force be with you,” i.e. “May the Fourth be with you.”

The original Star Wars movie, written and directed by George Lucas, was released in theaters in the U.S. on May 25, 1977, Memorial Day Weekend.
