Why May the Fourth be with You?
Surprisingly, the phrase "May the 4th be with you" was first used on May 4, 1979, the day after Margaret Thatcher was elected Prime Minister of the UK. Even after that, there were more incidents of the phrase being used, making it even more popular and linking it to Star Wars.
In the current day, "May the Fourth be with you" is a celebration among Star Wars fans to mark Star Wars Day, an unofficial holiday. It’s a clever way to combine May 4th with iconic lines from the films and celebrate the Star Wars universe.
