What Is Maythe4th? What is Maythe4th? May 4th is a day Star Wars fans have chosen to celebrate and honor all-things-Star-Wars, be it by posting Star Wars related content to social media, hosting Star Wars screening parties, wearing Star Wars costumes and clothing, or shopping for Star Wars merchandise. Why May 4th? Because, as it happens, fans invented a clever turn of phrase based on the classic Star Wars slogan “May the Force Be With You” back in 1978: “May the FOURTH Be With You”. While originally invoked among US fans as a Fourth of July greeting, it was reset to May 4th the following year when a full-page ad appeared in the May 4, 1979 issue of The London Evening News to congratulate British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on her taking office that day: “May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations!” Since then, and especially in recent years, Star Wars fans have claimed May 4th as their day, a day that has also given Lucasfilm an opportunity to give back to the Star Wars community that honors that galaxy far, far away. Since 2012, Lucasfilm has encouraged May the 4th activities through its official website and social channels as well as provided built-in discounts and special offers on Star Wars merchandise. And since “May the 4th Be With You” doesn’t carry the same witty punch when translated into other languages, “Star Wars Day” has been adopted to establish a global meaning for this annual worldwide celebration.

  • Star Wars Day 4Th May
    Star Wars Day 4th May In a Galaxy Far, Far Away…… May the fourth has become Star Wars Day for its close resemblance to the catch phrase, “May the force be with you”. Regardless of whether you are a fan or not, the Star Wars phenomenon has had a huge impact on modern life. It has introduced a number of sayings and spin off/ copies of the movie. Whilst it may seem silly to celebrate such a day, it is one of the happiest days of the year. It began as an in joke that most people who had seen Star Wars was in on and it became a day where people joined together in Star Wars silliness regardless of their background. Star Wars was an epic movie that was written and directed by George Lucas and premiered in 1977. It became a worldwide smash hit. Audiences had seen nothing like it before, sat in the theatre watching the enormous words scroll up the screen at the beginning of the movie, then the special effects which today seem so basic and yet, back then, were just fantastic! It took us all to a fantasy place we had never been before. Characters such as Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C3P0, R2D2, Darth Vader, Yoda and Obi – Wan Kenobi. Today, 40+ years later there are still movies in franchise being made watched. Merchandise is sort after and some things are worth thousands of dollars to collectors. A lightsabre of Luke Skywalkers sold for over $172,000 and a camera used by George Lucas sold for $625,000.

  • Star Wars Day
    GROGU PENCIL POUCH SUPPLIES Black canvas or burlap zip pouch Stiff light green felt Light brown and black felt Black permanent marker Chalk Scissors Low-heat hot glue gun White acrylic paint Paintbrush Grogu template INSTRUCTIONS 1. Print and cut out the Grogu template with scissors. 2. With the chalk, trace the shape of Grogu’s head on the light green felt. 3. Cut out the shape you traced. Make sure to cut along the inside of the chalk line to minimize the amount of chalk on the final shape. 4. Next, use the chalk to draw two almond-shaped eyes on the black felt. 5. Cut them out and glue them to the head shape with the low heat hot glue gun. 6. (Optional) Use the white acrylic paint and a thin paintbrush and paint small white dots for the reflections in Grogu’s eyes. Let the paint dry. 7. With the black permanent marker, draw a small nose and a long mouth below the eyes and draw two half-circle shapes above the eyes. 8. Add in some nose wrinkles above his nose to complete the face details. 9.Then draw a slightly curved line on each of the ears. 10. Next, use the low heat hot glue gun to glue the head to the side of the pouch as close to the seams as possible. 11. Cut a wide but long strip of the light brown felt, about a ¼ of the width of the pencil pouch, and hot glue it to the top edge of the pouch where the zipper is attached.
