He star wars day is an annual commemoration for fans of the science fiction story created by George LukeThat it has been celebrated since you found the date on the calendar from the link with an emblematic phrase that runs through the film saga, used for the first time with a political motivation.
May 4 is the date set for the celebration of Star Wars Daybecause in English it has a pronunciation that phonetically recalls the leitmotif of the Jedi warriors of the film. This association is what led to the emergence of the Star Wars party..
The advent of social networks did Star Wars Day will become a trend every May 4thbecause the celebration is replicated to millions around the world who greet with the phrase: “May the 4 be with you”.
It’s, by pronunciation, almost a carbon copy of “May the Force Be With You” which the Jedi use as a greeting to their peers. In Spanish it means “May the Force be with you”.and it is the desire to have the guide of what in the universe of Star Wars It is the all-powerful energy that rules the destinies of the galaxy. This is The force.
The origin of Star Wars Day
the imaginative mind of George Lukeone of the most lucid of cinematographic science fiction, he had the lucidity to create a story that has generated eleven films, between the three trilogies and the two spin-offs already released.
However, it was not Lucas who had the ingenious idea of taking a date phonetically so close to the phrase patented by himself as the greeting of the Jedi warriors, and which it ended up being the kickoff for Star Wars Day.
The origin, curiously, is in a publication by a political article in the British newspaper London Evening News, May 4, 1979. The note congratulates members of the English Conservative Party Margaret Thatcher for his brand new position as prime minister.
“May the 4 be with you, Maggie. Congratulations” (“May the 4 be with you, congratulations”)said the message, a pun on the film’s famous line, “May the force be with you.” In the posted greeting, they replaced the word “strength” with “quarter” or “quarter”, alluding to the date.
The event was not quickly captured by the cinematic world. It wasn’t until 2011 that the organizers of the Toronto Underground Cinema film festival chose May 4 to make the event and evoke the film. Since then, fueled by social networks, the tradition has expanded.
Star Wars Day has only coincided with Star Wars Celebration twicethe party created by Lucas Film in 1999 to bring together fans from all over the world in a city (that rotated) and share the experience of Star Wars in exposition tone.
It was in the first two, in 1999 in Denver and 2002 in Indianapolis, which took place in the first days of May. These two celebrations coincided with two separate Star Wars movie premieres: Episode 1, The Phantom Menace and Episode 2, The Battle of the Clones.
The Star Wars universe has grown exponentially since Disney acquired the brand. Already the third trilogy (Episode 7: The Force Awakens; Episode 8: The Last Jedi; AND Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker) were produced by the entertainment giant.
Disney also dealt with the first two spin-offs in history: Rogue One (2016) and Han Solo (2018). Moreover, in 2019 it launched the signal disney plus (arrived in Argentina in 2020).
