May The 4th Be With You This Star Wars Day
Today was a great day to be a fan!
May the fourth is here, which means Star Wars fans worldwide will be celebrating all day long. While the phrase “May The Fourth Be With You” has been around for many years (the first instance was in a British newspaper in 1979), the first official event wasn’t until 2011. And it was celebrated in Toronto!
From the Star Wars Day Wikipedia page:
“In 2011, the first organized celebration of Star Wars Day took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at the Toronto Underground Cinema. Produced by Sean Ward and Alice Quinn, festivities included an Original Trilogy Trivia Game Show; a costume contest with celebrity judges; and the web’s best tribute films, mash-ups, parodies, and remixes on the big screen. The second annual edition took place on Friday, May 4, 2012“
12 years later, the celebrations are still going strong!
