It didn't begin a long time ago or in a galaxy far far away, but every 4 May it feels like images, memes and promotional deals involving "Star Wars" have an inescapable gravity.

4 May or May the 4th, as fans say has evolved over the years into Star Wars Day, an informal holiday celebrating the space epic and its surrounding franchise.
What is Star Wars Day?
Star Wars Day was created by fans as a sly nod to one of the films' mos popular catchphrases, 'May the force be with you.' Get it? Good, now May the 4th be with you too.
It's not an official holiday but has become so well-known that even former President Joe Biden marked it last year when "Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill dropped by the White House a day beforehand.
"I think it's a very clever way for fans to celebrate their passion and love for Star Wars' once a year," said Steve Sansweet, founder and executive chairman of Rancho Obi-Wan, a non-profit museum in California that has the world's largest collection of "Star Wars" memorabilia.
