Today is Star Wars Day! The day for all of us Star Wars fans to dress up in our favorite costume, favorite T-shirt, favorite shorts, or even favorite pair of underwear (yes, Star Wars underwear is out there). So, pour yourself a glass of blue milk and rejoice in the holiday.
The origin of this fun play on words dates to May 4, 1979. This was the day Margaret Thatcher took office as the first woman Prime Minister of Britain. Her victory was celebrated in The London Evening News with the message “May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations.” Star Wars appeared to be influential even back then. Fast forward to 2011, the first organized celebration of Star Wars Day took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Toronto Underground Cinema. The celebration was complete with tribute films, a trivia game show, and parodies. In 2012, Walt Disney purchased Lucasfilm, which of course included the rights to Star Wars. Since 2013, the Walt Disney Company has officially observed the fan favorite holiday with many Star Wars events at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
Today, social media will be filled with the hashtags #MayThe4thBeWithYou and #StarWarsDay. I enjoy following those tags because you get to connect with other fans. Today is also a good day to catch some deals on various Star Wars merchandise. Below are deals that I found and wanted to share with our AiPT! readers. Enjoy the day! Watch the movies, buy some toys, read some Star Wars comics, or go search out the droids you are looking for! May the 4th Be with You!
