It is once again that special day for Star Wars fans to celebrate the franchise, its characters, the stories, and the Force. May the Fourth is known as the unofficial annual celebration of all things Star Wars because the day sounds similar to the iconic phrase “may the force be with you.” And over the years more and more companies have found ways to join in on the holiday with some clever marketing and big deals.
