Star Wars Day 2019
The date May 4 was elected for the gag on the phrase “May the Force be with you” as “May the Fourth be with you”. On the other hand, the holiday was not formed or accepted by Lucasfilm, a lot of Star Wars fans around the world have chosen to revel in and celebrate the holiday. It has consequently been included by Lucasfilm as once a year celebration of Star Wars.
Also, in some of the places people celebrates May 5 or the next day after May 4as “Revenge of the Fifth”, which is a play on Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and rejoice the Sith Lords and further bad characters from the Star Wars succession rather of the Jedi. While others enjoy this one day later, on May 6, identifying it “Revenge of the Sixth” as an better-enhanced play on “Sith”.

Cynthia Stierle, editorial director of Star Wars Epic Adventures said, “With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker set to premiere later this year, we felt the time was right to develop an accessible storybook series for children. A lot of what’s in the marketplace for kids gives just snippets or short versions of the stories, but Star Wars Epic Adventures is a complete retelling of the films. It’s a way for parents to share the entire Star Wars story arc with their young readers.”
