May The 4th Be With You!

May the 4th be with you too! This phrase is a popular reference to the Star Wars franchise, and it is often used to celebrate Star Wars Day on May 4th each year. Fans of the franchise celebrate this day by re-watching the films, dressing up in Star Wars-themed costumes, and attending various events and activities. It's a fun way to celebrate one of the most beloved movie franchises in history!

The phrase "May the 4th be with you" is a pun on the famous line "May the Force be with you" from the Star Wars movies. It is believed to have originated in 1979, when Margaret Thatcher was elected as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. To congratulate her, the Conservative Party took out a full-page advertisement in The London Evening News, which read "May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations."

The phrase gained popularity among Star Wars fans in the 2000s, and in 2011, the Toronto Underground Cinema organized a Star Wars Day celebration on May 4th, featuring a costume contest, trivia games, and a screening of The Empire Strikes Back. Since then, May 4th has become an unofficial holiday for Star Wars fans around the world, with many celebrations and events taking place each year to commemorate the franchise.
