Star Wars Day is an unofficial secular holiday in May which celebrates the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. It is observed by fans of the movies.
For those not too sure the date was chosen for the easy pun on the catchphrase "May the Force be with you"—"May the fourth be with you".
I just thought it would be fun to have a quick get together after work.....
Date: Wednesday May Fourth
Time: Will be along with log book 5.30pm to 6.30pm.
Where: Forth Street Bridge over the Leithbank (if bad weather we'll find a shelter - like bus stop nearby for cover).
Don't worry fancy dress is not required.
Just as a bit of further trivia Star Wars Day became so popular that the following day was jokingly called “Revenge of the Fifth,” a play on the Star Wars movie title Revenge of the Sith. On this day, fans join the “Dark Side” by celebrating the Sith Lords and villains from the Star Wars series.
