What is “May the 4th be with you”?
It’s a fan-created pun on the classic Jedi phrase “May the Force be with you.” It’s become an unofficial global holiday for Star Wars fans, celebrated annually on May 4th.
Why is Star Wars Day celebrated on May 4?
The date sounds like the iconic line “May the Force be with you.” The phrase “May the 4th be with you” was first officially used in a 1979 UK political ad for Margaret Thatcher. Since then, it’s grown into a major fan event.
What new Star Wars content is releasing for May the 4th, 2025?
Disney+ has launched Andor Season 2 (episodes 1–3) and will premiere Tales of the Underworld, a six-part animated series from Dave Filoni, on May 4th.
What is Tales of the Underworld about?
It’s an animated anthology series exploring the darker corners of the galaxy. It follows Asajj Ventress and Cad Bane as they face personal and moral challenges in the Star Wars underworld.
Where can I watch Andor Season 2 and Tales of the Underworld?
Both are exclusive to Disney+. Andor is now streaming; Tales of the Underworld premieres May 4.
Are there any Star Wars Day TV specials for kids?
Yes! A marathon of Young Jedi Adventures airs May 3–4 on Disney Junior (DStv 309) from 17:00 to 20:00 CAT. Star Wars-themed episodes of shows like DuckTales, Hamster & Gretel, and more will air on Disney Channel (DStv 303).

Expect Tales of the Underworld to break the Internet as fans embrace Star Wars’ villain era with giddy vengeance. The Andor Season 2 drop will likely dominate Disney+ traffic this weekend, drawing both critics and loyalists. Merch demand is peaking—LEGO and Hasbro could see record sell-outs. With May the 4th now a global celebration on par with Comic Con, we predict future editions will drive even more exclusive launches and fandom frenzy. In the streaming galaxy, all eyes are now on The Acolyte to carry this energy into June. Until then… may the 4th be with you.
