May the Fourth Be with You: Celebrating Star Wars Day

May 4th has become unofficially known as Star Wars Day, a day for fans of the iconic space opera franchise to gather, celebrate, and share their love for the films. The origins of the holiday can be traced back to 1979 when a London newspaper congratulated Margaret Thatcher on her first day in office with the headline “May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations!” The popularity of Star Wars Day surged in recent years thanks to social media.
