The “Star Wars” franchise is so popular that it has its own holiday. Each year on May 4, people around the globe celebrate “Star Wars” Day.
Recognizing “Star Wars” on May 4 reportedly dates back to 1979 when Margaret Thatcher took office as U.K. prime minister and was congratulated with an ad in the London Evening News which read, “May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations,” according to People magazine. As avid “Star Wars” fans know well, the ad was a play on the movie line, “May the force be with you, Luke.”
“Star Wars” Day activities range from simple social media tweets and office humor to costume events and themed parties. However you plan to celebrate, here are some spectacular “Star Wars” Day deals on merchandise, movies, games and more that will have you feeling the Force.
