The date is a play on the slogan "May the Force be with you" or "May the fourth be with you."
According to popular legend, the reference would have been used for the first time on the 4th May 1979, the day Margaret Thatcher took office as UK Prime Minister.

An online press article by the Danish public broadcaster reportedly stated that his political party, the Conservatives, had placed a congratulatory announcement in the London Evening News, in which it was written: "The fourth day with you, Maggie, congratulations."
In addition, astrophysicist and author Jeanne Cavelos echoed the saying on page 94 of her 1999 book The Science of Star Wars
. One thing led to another and in 2008, the first groups on Facebook celebrated the day of Luke Skywalker.
While the idea of May 4 was not born of Lucasfilm, the film company that created Star Wars has, over time, fully embraced the spirit of this idea and promoted it. .
The popularity of Star Wars Day is such that since 2013, even the Walt Disney Company has officially celebrated this holiday with several events at Disneyland.
