May The Fourth Be With You!

I’m a huge Star Wars fan!  May the Fourth is loved by Star Wars geeks around the world. I’m happy to be in such good company!

I’ve teamed up with Picturing Disney to share their awesome Star Wars Day giveaway with you!

May the 4th!

This FANtastic holiday is best celebrated by watching the Entire Star Wars Saga (Yes…including Episode 1: Phantom Menace). Some fans host out of this galaxy Star Wars parties that consist of lightsaber duels and playing Star Wars board and video games while enjoying a banquet of Star Wars themed cuisines. We are dropping a FUNtastic giveaway in celebration, but first we wanted to share the history behind the day’s origin.

VADER

The History:

According to starwars.com we can thank Margaret Thatcher for this PUN… I mean FUN day! On the day Thatcher was elected Britain’s first woman prime minister in 1979, her party decided to post a newspaper ad in the London Evening News. The ad read “May the Fourth be with you, Maggie. Congratulations.” Fans everywhere began flooding social media with clever Star Wars memes and messages.

Starwars.com says it best “Star Wars Day was created by the fans, it is truly their day. Hosting movie marathons, sharing greetings on social media, cooking Star Wars recipes…there are no wrong ways to celebrate May the 4th and each year we’re amazed at the creative ways that fans mark the occasion.  With Star Wars alive like never before, we hope you’ll join in this year.  May the 4th be with you.”
