Are you the biggest Star Wars fan?

Published May 4, 2017

My dear Nodians, today is as you no doubt know already, Star Wars Day, or May the 4th, which is stylised as “May the 4th be with you”, a play on the series trope which is May the Force be with you. The 4th of May has been internationally accepted as Star Wars Day, a fan-led initiative that has been accepted the world over.

As with any of our competitions, there are unfortunately rules for this one:

You may not enter this competition if you have won a Geek Node competition within the last 3 months. There have been some of you who have tried to enter despite this rule being in effect. Just know that if you do enter you will be disqualified. No offence guys, we are just trying to keep it fair.

Anyone may enter this competition, there are no restrictions based on job, skin colour, console/PC preference or sexual orientation.

In addition to this, our usual Terms & Conditions apply.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! But first, here’s a bit of history behind Star Wars Day, courtesy of our friends over at Disney Africa.

The history of Star Wars Day

May 4th is a day Star Wars fans have chosen to celebrate and honour all-things- Star-Wars , be it by posting Star Wars related content to social media, hosting Star Wars screening parties, wearing Star Wars costumes and clothing, or shopping for Star Wars merchandise.

Why May 4th? Because, as it happens, fans invented a clever turn of phrase based on the classic Star Wars slogan “May the Force Be With You” back in 1978: “May the FOURTH Be With You”. While originally invoked among US fans as a Fourth of July greeting, it was reset to May 4th the following year when a full-page ad appeared in the May 4, 1979 issue of The London Evening News to congratulate British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on her taking office that day: “May the Fourth Be With You, Maggie. Congratulations!”

Since then, and especially in recent years, Star Wars fans have claimed May 4th as their day, a day that has also given Lucasfilm an opportunity to give back to the Star Wars community that honours that galaxy far, far away. This year, in the name of Star Wars: Force for Change – an initiative that inspires people to make a positive impact on the world – Lucasfilm and Disney will be giving back wherever they can, and we encourage fans to do the same.

Since 2012, Lucasfilm has encouraged May the 4th activities through its official website and social channels as well as provided built-in discounts and special offers on Star Wars merchandise. And since “May the 4th Be With You” doesn’t carry the same witty punch when translated into other languages, “ Star Wars Day” has been adopted to establish a global meaning for this annual worldwide celebration.
