‘May the fourth be with you’: Star Wars Day sets off with hilarious memes on Twitter

Fans first celebrated the Star Wars Day many years ago, to pay tribute to the Jedi Knights’ mantra. It all started with an easy pun on the catchphrase “May the Force be with you” as “May the Fourth be with you”. But, you’ll be surprised to know that the holiday was not created or proclaimed by LucasFilm. However, the enthusiasm of Star Wars fans across the globe took the mania to an altogether new level.

The Star Wars mania coincided with immense speculation after Queen Elizabeth II called an emergency meeting of her royal staff at the Buckingham Palace. Take a look at some of the best posts here.
