The world of culture marks 'Star Wars Day'

On May 4th, International 'Star Wars' Day was marked around the world, recognized by fans of the franchise with the famous pun: "May the 4th be with you".

The White House chose to mark the day officially. According to News 360, the official White House account published a message combining the franchise's slogans, "This is the way" and "May the 4th be with you", alongside a themed image of Donald Trump. In this context, the Abu Ali Express channel, which is identified with right-wing and Israeli positions, also noted the White House's tribute on their official account.

At the same time, the cultural phenomenon has turned into an economic opportunity in the Israeli market. The KSP.co.il chain launched extensive sales on LEGO Star Wars products, including discounts on prominent models such as the R2-D2 droid, the Y-Wing starfighter, and other sets. The sales, which were published by the chain, are valid until May 7th or while supplies last.
