Universal Day of the Jedi

What?? A special day to commemorate Jedi? Whoa...cool!

The Universal Day of the Jedi—May 25—is an "annual Star Wars fan holiday." It was (is) envisioned as a celebration of the entire saga, and fandom itself. The first Universal Day of the Jedi, on May 25, 2007, coincided with Celebration IV.

I just discovered this and am not sure how I missed it. Here is some information I found:

The idea for Universal Day of the Jedi originated in 2006 as news and rumors began surfacing about how Lucasfilm could be planning to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars in 2007. The concept was first proposed by Greg Davies (former webmaster of fan site Shadow of the Sith).

Although Universal Day of the Jedi has been suggested to be a celebratory day on which fans can get together and watch the films, with the holiday being created as a geek holiday, there has been a push to celebrate the day in a similar fashion to days like Day of the Ninja or International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Some online suggestions have included dressing as a Jedi to work and attacking colleagues with Force FX Lightsabers; or stating "May the Force be with you" to everyone who passes by.

*pausing in disbelief*

That is totally awesome!
