Why May 4? What is Star Wars Day?

Fans celebrate Star Wars Day on May the 4th because it sounds close to the classic phrase, "May the force be with you" from the very first movie, "Star Wars: A New Hope."

'Skywalker Saga' deep dive: 'Star Wars' marathon: All 9 movies coming to 13 theaters nationwide May 4th. Here's where

One of the first appearances was in a London newspaper when it congratulated Britain’s new prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, on her first day of office. The full-page ad read "May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations!"

Over the years the catchy (and later, highly hashtaggable) phrase caught on and fans began devoting the day to Star Wars-related celebrations. LucasFilms has often timed "Star Wars" releases, announcements and events for May 4.
