May the fourth be with you.
An Empirial attack ad against celebrating this noble holiday.

Happy Star Wars Day to all.

The obvious reason for choosing May 4th as Star Wars day is the homophone between “May the 4th be with you” and “May the Force be with you.” But the lore behind the day does not end there. As ABC News reports:
German news TV channel N24 mistranslated George Lucas in an 2005 interview, interpreting his famous line, “May the Force be with you,” as “Am 4. Mai sind wir bei Ihnen” (We are with you on May 4). Thus a holiday was born.
The first film was released on May 25th, 1977 and I can’t help thinking that Lucas missed an opportunity there.
