May 4, 2021

On this day in 2013, The Walt Disney Company officially recognized May 4th as "Star Wars Day." While it may not have coincided with Star Wars releases until the premiere of "The Bad Batch" on Disney+ in 2021, fans and Star Wars marketers have taken to the holiday like the Millennium Falcon stuck to a Star Destroyer.
