Here's how the world is celebrating Star Wars Day - May the Fourth be with you

Written by : TNM

"Star Wars" fans are in for a special treat this December with the upcoming release of the latest movie in the Star Wars series. However, fans today woke up to a special day - an unofficial holiday, Star Wars Day is celebrated as a spin-off from the phrase "May the 4th be with you".According to CNN, the usage of the phrase began right back in 1979 when Margaret Thatcher took office as the Prime Minsiter of UK. Then the Conservative party had placed a newspaper ad that read "May the Fourth Be With You , Maggie. Congratulations".#MayThe4thBeWithYou Love the Star Wars emoji that appears with this hashtag — Maxine Francis (@xox_Maxine_xox) May 4, 2015ICYMI : Here are the Star Wars Emoji #C3P0 #Stormtrooper #BB8 Happy #StarWarsDay pic.twitter.com/JcqkaucoQa   — Riot (@cerebralriot) May 4, 2015Here are some reactions off social media  I wasn't going to do this until I saw this cartoon. #MayThe4thBeWithYou pic.twitter.com/3lhn7rK2cm — KillfileVictim847238 (@TheKFV) May 4, 2015Happy Monday! #MayThe4thBeWithYou - ft. that time I cruised around the office in my most formal attire. #AliWanKenobi pic.twitter.com/96v6I8yNZ7   — Ali Williams (@AliWilliams17) May 4, 2015Need. #MayThe4thBeWithYou pic.twitter.com/nhRcw54KXM   — d-dine (@stfumynameisjus) May 4, 2015#MayThe4thBeWithYou.
