With the latest chapter in the Star Wars
saga now available on DVD and Blu-ray, it’s time to celebrate Star Wars day
properly this year.
When
is Star Wars day?
May the Fourth, of course.
Why
is it Star Wars day?
Just say it out aloud, “May the Fourth be
with you”, and you’ll soon see.
When
did Star Wars day start?
Surprisingly, it originated on 4th
May 1979 when Margaret Thatcher became Britain’s first woman prime minister. Her
party placed an ad in a newspaper saying: “May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie.
Congratulations.”
Since then it has been picked up by George
Lucas and turned into a day when fans the world over celebrate Star Wars with
everything from impromptu lightsabre battles to humming the theme song while making
coffee.
Traditionally, May has always been an
important month for Star Wars, with all but one of the seven films being
released in that month. The exception being The Force Awakens which was
released in December 2015.
So have a good Star Wars day and be ready
to face the Dark Side the next day, the Return of the Fifth.
