This May the 4th, Star Wars Day was a real success. During this day the world celebrated the cult saga created by director George Lucas.
Why was this day chosen? For a simple reason: a play on words between two phrases. In fact, the famous Jedi motto spoken by Han Solo “May the Force be with you”, in this occasion becomes “May the Fourth be with you”.
Star Wars Day around the world
On a global level there have been diverse events celebrating this occasion, such as parades, or movie marathons. Even famous tv series characters, such as Sheldon and Amy from The Big Bang Theory, decided to pay homage to the much-loved saga, dedicating many of their Instagram posts it.
The most important event, however, happened in Orlando, Florida. The movie saga is celebrated annually with a touring event called Star Wars Celebration, and this year the organization had a turn in Orange County’s capitol. More than 70 thousand people, from all over the world, had the opportunity to celebrate their heroes.
This year was even more special, because it was the 40 year anniversary since the first screening, in the cinema halls of the United States, of the chapter entitled A New Hope.
Fans had the opportunity to participate in several panels with the protagonists – the faces that made the Star Wars saga a worldwide phenomenon. The days were spent telling anecdotes, honouring the memory of the unforgettable Carrie Fisher, and with a screening of the trailer of the eighth episode – Star Wars: The Last Jedi whose release is scheduled for next December 15th.
