What is Star Wars Day?
Lucasfilm has officially recognized may fourth as Star Wars Day since 2011, but it has been celebrated for decades before that. The day was chosen because “May the Force be with you” is often spoken in Star Wars. People celebrate this day by sharing their love for Star Wars through social media posts, giving each other gifts, or dressing up in costumes.
The History of Star Wars Day
Star Wars Day was created in 1979 by a man named Kevin Trudeau. This day has been celebrated every year since May fourth.
Kevin Trudeau’s original idea for this holiday came about when he watched the movie “The Empire Strikes Back” with his little brother, who was six years old. His brother said to him, “I know it’s May second, but I think this is May fourth.” After hearing his brother say this, he decided to make this day into a holiday celebrated every year on May fourth.
