Happy Star Wars Day! May the Fourth Be With You... Or Not?

See how fans of the franchise celebrated Star Wars Day.

Very few film-franchises in the world of cinema have cultivated the kind of fandom and patronage as the Star Wars series. Touted as a game changer in the genre of science fiction, it has remained a fan favourite ever since its first release decades ago.

Every year, 4 May is celebrated as World Star Wars day, thanks to it being homophonous to the legendary franchise’s iconic phrase “may to force be with you”.

Star Wars fans have thus enshrined the fourth of May as World Star Wars day.

Every year fans of the franchise celebrate this day in their own unique way.
