May the 4th be with you!

Unless you have been living on Tatooine in a ksar and not keeping up with the happenings of the world. Let me explain to you what May the 4th is. May 4, or, "May the 4th Be With You," marks a celebration of all things Star Wars.

In 1979, Margaret Thatcher was elected as the first woman Prime Minister of Britain. To celebrate, her party posted a half page advertisement in the London Evening Newspaper that read "may the Fourth by With You". 

It was then officially observed for decades until California voted to declare May 4 "Star Was Day" in recognition of Disneyland's Galaxy Edge opening.

So with that.. May the 4th be with you!!!
