Star Wars Day is an unofficial holiday announced by the fans of the film series to remember Star Wars culture and universe. It is celebrated on the 4th of May annually. The reason of why they chose this date is based on a word play in a sentence used in film series. The sentence of “May the force be with you.” is widely used slogan in Star Wars. On this basis, fans of the film series chose the fourth day of May. As a result, 4th of May was accepted as Star Wars Day.

The saying “May the force be with you” has been used since 1979. However, in 2013, Disney bought the rights of the film series from Lucasfilm and they started acknowledging this special day. Thereby Star Wars Day had more official capacity and reached a lot of people.
