Part 5/9:
Historically, May 4th's significance stems from the pun "May the Fourth be with you," a lighthearted joke. Conversely, May 25th retains true importance as the anniversary of the original Star Wars film’s release (1977) and the subsequent conclusion of the original trilogy with Return of the Jedi (1983). For true fans, May 25th remains the core date for honoring Star Wars' legacy.
In contrast, Disney's attempt to reframe or elevate May 4th as "Star Wars Day" seemed disconnected from this history, appearing as a marketing ploy rather than genuine homage.
