May The Fourth Be With You

May 4 is a special day for Star Wars fans... Perhaps the most common phrase known in "Star Wars language" is: "May the force be with you", a phrase often stated as a "farewell" or "good luck" to a departing Jedi knight. Star Wars fans used this popular phrase and twisted it to say: "May the fourth  be with you", thus dubbing May fourth as "Star Wars Day."


In England, Margret Thatcher, the first woman prime minister, was elected on May 4, 1979, and her political party put out an advertisement that stated: "May the fourth be with you", thus increasing the popularity of the Star Wars day trend. 


Ironically, the Los Angles City Counsel declared May 25th as Star Wars Day, due to the release of the fourth episode of Star Wars. But any real Star Wars fan would celebrate Star Wars Day on May 4th.


Some ways to celebrate Star Wars Day are:

1. Wave your hand before entering an automatic door at a store, pretending to have the force of Darth Vader

2. Start a protest in front of the theater because "The Avengers" stole the limelight of Star Wars Day


3. Watch all of the Star Wars movies from start to finish

4. Go to a restaurant, and if they don't have want you want to eat, react accordingly (ex. pretend to have Vader's talent of choking people at a distance)


5. Make corny Star Wars jokes all day... For example:


1) Ever seen a Jedi commit suicide? They hold a lightsaber up to their temple and scream "Back off! Don't Force me to make any rash decisions!! I'll do it!!!"

2) Darth Vader approaches Luke and says, "Luke, I know what you got for Christmas." Luke asks, "How?" And Vader replies, "I sensed your presents."

3) You know you're a redneck Jedi When:

-You've heard the phrase, "May the force be with y'all."

-You have ever used a light saber to light the barbecue grill

-You used a light saber to cut your wedding cake


-Your father's name is Garth Vader

-A wookie has told you you need to shave

-You find no grammatical error in the way Yoda talks

-You think having bad B.O. is a special force

-The doors of your X wing are welded shut and you have to get in through the windows

-You feel like duct tape is like the force. It has a dark side, a light side, and holds the world together.
