Revenge of the Fifth is an unofficial holiday celebrated by some fans of the Star Wars franchise on May 5th, the day after the widely recognized “Star Wars Day” on May the Fourth (as in “May the Fourth be with you”). The name “Revenge of the Fifth” is a play on words of the Star Wars movie title “Revenge of the Sith”.
The holiday is observed by some fans as a continuation of the festivities from the day before, and involves re-watching Star Wars movies, wearing Star Wars costumes, and enjoying Star Wars-themed food and drinks. While not an officially recognized holiday, Revenge of the Fifth has gained popularity among Star Wars fans as a way to extend the fun and excitement of Star Wars Day.
