May 4th will be observed as Star Wars Day all across the world. The day celebrates George Lucas created Star Wars film franchise. The catchy pun phrase "May the Fourth be with you" is associated with the date May 4th, as in May the 4th be with you. The punny phrase is derived from the catchphrase "May the Force be with you" that you'll get if you watch Star Wars movies. The day is celebrated by the Star Wars fans across the world and wasn't initiated or declared by George Lucas or his company Lucasfilm, as the popular opinion goes. However, the Walt Disney Company, which bought Lucasfilm and the rights to the Star Wars franchise in 2012, now officially observes Star Wars Day with events and festivities in its theme parks Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The history dates back to May 4, 1979, when the phrase was first used in a newspaper advertisement to congratulate Margaret Thatcher on the day she took office as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Star Wars Day 2019: May the Fourth Be With You! 5 Fun Ways to Celebrate May 4.
