May the force be with you on this May 4 — officially named Star Wars Day by Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes.
Fontes shared an official proclamation on Twitter naming this day Star Wars Day in the Grand Canyon State.
He cites the franchise's lasting impact on arts and culture throughout the nation, as well as its effect on the level of interest in astronomy and science.
