may the FOURTH be with you

may the FOURTH be with you by EJS93

Hi everybody. So, my roommate Eddy Epic brought to my attention that today May the 4th is in fact an unofficial holiday for Star Wars fans. So, happy May the fourth everybody! True to form, I will be uploading a cake that is inspired by George Lucas's epic saga.
So a little bit of trivia behind the whole May 4th Star Wars link is as follows. Whether or not you are a "warsies" ( since star trek fans call themselves trekkies) you may have already known that one of the most popular quotes in Star Wars is "May the force be with you." As a play on words many warsies say may the fourth be with you, on this date May 4th.

  • So a little history about this date includes Margaret Thatcher Britain's first female prime minister being elected to office on May 4th 1979. Which led to her party placing the advertisement in the London Daily News "May the fourth be with you."
  • In addition, during a 2005 interview on German news TV  George Lucas (the creator of star wars) was asked to say his famous sentence, "May the Force be with you." Upon which the translator simultaneously translated into German, "Am 4. Mai sind wir bei Ihnen" (We shall be with you on May 4).
