Star Wars Day - May 4
"This day is considered an unoffical holiday by Star Wars fans to celebrate Star Wars culture and remember the films.
May 4 is called Star Wars Day (also sometimes known as Luke Skywalker Day) because of a pun on the similarity between "May the 4th be with you" and "May the Force be with you", a phrase often spoken in the Star Wars movies...
The Los Angeles City Council declared May 25, 2007 as Star Wars Day, in honor of the May 25, 1977 release date of the first Star Wars movie."
