How was this the first year you noticed this massive global thing that’s been going on for almost twenty years? Even the super hardcore “May 25th is Star Wars Day” fans have mostly started doing May the Fourth. Five or six years ago the flight boards at Heathrow had Star Wars destinations; this year wasn’t any different from any other at least since the third trilogy came out.

It's not global...
We never had this, only fans do some memes. This doesn't even make any sense in other languages.

I don't think it's necessarily a massive global thing, though. Sure, fans have been doing it for ages. It's a common internet thing. But remember that the fannish part of the internet isn't the ENTIRE internet, nor is it reflective of the general population everywhere. I live in a small, rural town and I can assure you that when it comes to brick and mortar businesses whose demographic aren't geeks, this has NOT been a trendy thing for two decades.

I think that's a bit much. I'd forgotten this entirely until OP brought it up, and I used to only have to deal with the stupid puns and such when I was active in Star Wars fandom. When I wasn't around SW fans, it completely disappeared from my life. Disney poured enough money into the release of its ST that they sort of made a blip, when those movies came out. But the level of canon hype the OP is describing, offline, is news to me.
