Despite efforts to start[5] a Jedi Church with 4 May as its Star Wars Day, as of 4 May 2009 there is no religion-supporting organization that promotes 4 May as Star Wars Day.

The joke is recorded in the UK parliament's Hansard.[6]

In 2005 German news TV channel N24 interviewed George Lucas and asked him to say his famous sentence, "May the force be with you." The translator simultaneously translated to German: "Am 4. Mai sind wir bei Ihnen". (We are with you on May 4th). This was captured by comedy show TV Total and aired on May 18th, 2005. [1] , . . ."

The LED was first invented in Russia in the 1920s, and introduced in America as a practical electronic component in 1962. Oleg Vladimirovich Losev was a radio technician who noticed that diodes used in radio receivers emitted light when current was passed through them. In 1927, he published details in a Russian journal of the first ever LED.

All early devices emitted low-intensity red light, but modern LEDs are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infra red wavelengths, with very high brightness. . . ."
