Why is May 4 "Star Wars Day"?
Star Wars Day is celebrated every year on May 4 because "May the 4th/Fourth" sounds a lot like "May the Force" — as in, "May the Force be with you," one of the most iconic lines from the Star Wars movie franchise. To continue the punny festivities, May 5 is sometimes referred to as "Revenge of the Fifth," a nod to the title of Episode III.
