May 4 is a special date for millions of “Star Wars” fans as World Star Wars Day, better known as Star Wars Day, is celebrated, so Salvadorans were no exception to this great event. that adds more followers every year.
On this occasion the point of attention was a shopping center in San Salvador, where an exhibition of spaceships, clothing, swords, robots, images of all the members of Star Wars, key chains and fortresses was set up, which were admired by those who attended. to that intergalactic date.
The Star Wars characters were seen this May 4 in the Puerta del Diablo Natural Park, in the district of Panchimalco, department of San Salvador, so that tourist center was transformed into a distant galaxy.
What we should know is since when has World Star Wars Day been celebrated and what is its origin?
It all boils down to the fact that the origin of this anniversary has nothing to do with dates related to the room. Rather, it was a news story published in the British newspaper ‘London Evening News’ on May 4, 1979.
The article claimed that members of the United Kingdom Conservative Party congratulated Margaret Thatcher on her newly appointed position as the country’s prime minister: “May the 4th Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations,” said the writing that gave rise to a play on words with ‘May the Force be with you’, an emblematic phrase in the saga. The new phrase, however, did not become popular until several years later.
It was not until 2011 when this day began to gain strength among followers of the saga. It was all thanks to the organization of the film festival this same day at the Toronto Underground Cinema. Without yet knowing why, the companies decided to take the opportunity to offer special discounts on all their ‘Star Wars’ products.
Movies related to Star Wars are the most followed worldwide in the entire history of cinema. It is about the saga with a huge legion that does not understand race, languages or origin. On this May 4, many fans will celebrate this special day in their own way and a multitude of events are organized.
Among the best known are the marathons or meetings with followers dressed as the most emblematic characters. We can also find stores and brands that rely on special offers, advertising slogans and a long list of winks.
Beyond the famous article about Margaret Thatcher in 1979, just a year later, in 1980, the president of the United States at the time, Ronald Reagan, was based on the character Grand Moff Tarkin to create a strategic defense initiative known as War of the galaxies. Although it was never carried out, the project served to pave the way for the strategic missile system that is still in force today.
