Star Wars Day 2019

The date May 4 was elected for the gag on the phrase “May the Force be with you” as “May the Fourth be with you”. On the other hand, the holiday was not formed or accepted by Lucasfilm, a lot of Star Wars fans around the world have chosen to revel in and celebrate the holiday. It has consequently been included by Lucasfilm as once a year celebration of Star Wars.

Also, in some of the places people celebrates May 5 or the next day after May 4as “Revenge of the Fifth”, which is a play on Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and rejoice the Sith Lords and further bad characters from the Star Wars succession rather of the Jedi. While others enjoy this one day later, on May 6, identifying it “Revenge of the Sixth” as an better-enhanced play on “Sith”.
