For those who don't get it, Star Wars day is an unofficial day of celebration of all things Star Wars. It occurs on May 4th each year.
"May the force be with you," is a popular phrase from the Star Wars movies. The date May 4th kind of sounds like "may force" (if you have a lisp), therefore, "May the fourth be with you".
