Star Wars Day
"May the 4th be with you." It's the famous Star Wars pun that launched a holiday, and for good reason. It's clever, it's catchy, and everyone loves Star Wars.
But just how did that clever turn of phrase turn into a bona fide Star Wars holiday that fans celebrate on the fourth of May?
Not all that long ago, in this very galaxy, Star Wars fans found a really good excuse to celebrate their obsession on Star Wars Day, aka May the 4th.

Unlikely Origins Of Star Wars Day
- The phrase "May the Fourth be with you, Maggie" originated in England's conservative party, the Tories, after Margaret Thatcher won the election to become the first female prime minister of the United Kingdom.
- While the pun stuck and became popular with Star Wars fans, it didn't cross over into mainstream pop culture for another 20 years.
- It wasn't until the early 2000s that fans were using it constantly on social media.

Star Wars Day Is An Actual Holiday
In 2012, Disney bought Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise, so it made sense for them to embrace May 4th as a public holiday.
It began as an unofficial holiday and was more of an unofficial recognition of the franchise than an official holiday until the California legislature voted in 2019 to officially make it a holiday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
