Star Wars fans didn't first introduce the often-quoted phrase on May 4th. It was 1979, and Britain elected the first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. On May 4th, the day she took office, the Conservative Party placed an advertisement in The London Evening News, which read, "May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie.
Because it immediately follows Star Wars Day, Revenge of the Fifth is meant to be a day for fans to pass over onto to the Dark Side – for one day, at least. Today, Star Wars geeks will be celebrating the titular Sith Lords from the long-running franchise. Because bad guys need love too!
Still the fans continue celebrations of their own around the world to celebrate Lucas' creation with new celebrations having yet to get a solid foothold. The day after on 5 May, Sith-themedmed holiday “Revenge of the Fifth” is a play on the 'Star Wars: Episode, III The Revenge of tSithth' title.

What to say when someone says may the 4th be with you?
“And also with you”: Echo the traditional Catholic liturgical greeting. It's a playful twist on the original phrase and adds a touch of humor. “I know”: If you want to channel your inner Han, and feel cool about it, this is an author favorite. “May the Force be with us all”: Stay true to the Star Wars theme.
Yesterday the pun "May the fourth be with you" signalled that it was Star Wars Day. Today is Revenge of the Fifth, and the day is also based on another Star Wars pun, being named for Star Wars: Episode III–Revenge of the Sith. Since 2012, it has celebrated the Sith Lords and other villains of Star Wars.
The root of Life Day is found in The Star Wars Holiday Special, a star-studded 1978 prime time broadcast that aired on CBS once on November 17, 1978. After that broadcast, it was never to be (officially) seen again in the US and instead was relegated to bizarre cultural curiosity in the years that followed.
Anyone who is a fan of the series knows well that Obi-Wan Kenobi and other Jedi often use the phrase, "May the force be with you," as a sentiment of good will. Well, as fans have come to realize, the phrase can sound a lot like "May the 4th be with you" – and a holiday was born.
As most fans know, the fourth day in May became Star Wars Day because of the turn of phrase, "May the force be with you," used by Jedi masters in the movies. The classic slogan was originally flip-flopped in 1978 to greet others on the Fourth of July, according to Lucasfilm.
One of the earliest uses of the phrase “May the Fourth be with you” came on May 4, 1979, when a London newspaper writer congratulated Britain's new prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, on her first day of office. In a full-page ad the writer said, “May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations!”
