Star Wars Day

May 4th is celebrated as Star Wars Day because of a pun on the famous Star Wars line, "May the Force be with you." When said aloud, it sounds like "May the fourth be with you." The date was first used to celebrate Star Wars by the Toronto Underground Cinema in 2011, and the tradition has since spread around the world.

Star Wars Day is celebrated annually on May 4th, so it is just one day. However, some fans may choose to celebrate the entire week leading up to May 4th as "Star Wars Week."

Star Wars Day is celebrated as a way for fans of the Star Wars franchise to come together and celebrate their love of the movies, TV shows, books, and other media that make up the Star Wars universe.

The date, May 4th, is a pun on the famous Star Wars line, "May the Force be with you," and has become a way for fans to show their appreciation for the series and its impact on popular culture.
