Star Wars Day is commemorated on May 4, to celebrate the epic space opera that has become a cult classic.

The legendary science fiction movie premiered in 1977 was written and directed by George Lucas. Star Wars remains one of the most financially successful films of all time, as the franchise records a collection of more than 2.5 billion dollars since the release of the first film.

A pun on the all-time favorite quote from the movie series, "May the Force be with you" was the reason for choosing "May the 4th" as the official Star Wars Day. Star Wars Day was first celebrated in 2011 at the Toronto Underground Cinema in Canada.

If you are a fan of the Star Wars series, this is the day to dress like your favorite character and watch your favorite movie.
