May the 4th

May the 4th to all Star Wars fans is Star Wars Day, an unofficial holiday created by fans to show their love for the franchise. The date is a pun on the well known phrase "May the force be with you" and was originally used when Margret Thatcher took to office. Star Wars Day was first celebrated at the Toronto Underground Cinema in Canada where it put on a costume contest and film festival. Since then, thanks to the internet, it has gained widespread appeal which sees hundreds of fans from across the globe come together and celebrate everything Star Wars related.



Here are a couple of videos to show you some of the celebrations for May the 4th:
