PENNSYLVANIA, USA — May the 4th is celebrated around the globe as Star Wars Day.
May 4, 2024 is no different!
According to IGN, the origin of the holiday is based solely on the pun that the famous line from the movie "May the Force be with you" sounds a lot like "May the fourth be with you."
Of course, with the advent of people saying the phrase on social media, Disney and retailers took note and now mark the occasion each year with merchandise and other releases.
Here are a few ways you can celebrate your Star Wars fandom this year:
Lincoln Mill Haunted House invites Star Wars fans nationwide to a special, exclusive one-day-only Star Wars-inspired event on Saturday, May 4.
The drink is being offered in half-gallon jugs at Cub, Hy-Vee, Coborn's, Walmart and Target, according to the release, and will be available through July.
Retailers are offering deals with May the Fourth.
The whole collection of Star Wars films is available for viewing, as well as other spin off shows that are available to be streamed.
On FOX43 Morning News, reporter Robert Stover stopped by the set with his collection of Star Wars related items and apparel.
