About Star Wars Day
Star Wars Day runs on the pun "May the Fourth be with you". The joke is older than the fan holiday. On May 4, 1979, the day Margaret Thatcher took office, her party ran an ad in the London Evening News: "May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations."
Fan events took off in the early 2010s, and Lucasfilm and Disney now mark it every year with sales, Disney park events and new shows on Disney+. It isn't a public holiday anywhere.

How this is calculated
Each midnight takes one off the number. Today is left out and the day itself is counted, so tomorrow shows as 1 day away. Clock changes for daylight saving make no difference.
In Excel or Google Sheets, type =DATE(2027,5,4)-TODAY() into a cell to get the same count; add 1 to include today.
Counted from Friday, October 16, 2026 (US Eastern time). When you open the page, it counts again from the date on your device, so it matches your own day.
