May the Fourth Be With You: The internet celebrates Star Wars Day with new Twitter symbols and memes (independent.co.uk).
“It may seem baffling that a simple date-based pun has turned into a hashtag and then a holiday, but internet users around the world are spreading Star Wars-themed goodwill with the phrase: ‘May the fourth be with you.’
Twitter itself has done its part, setting up new symbols for Star Wars Day-related hashtags. Write #StarWarsDay or #MayThe4thBeWithYou and your message will be adorned with a miniature Stormtrooper. Use the variant #MayTheFourthBeWithYou, and your additional characters will be rewarded with C-3PO’s face.”
And to think, many were soooOoo worried when Disney took this thing over. :)
