Quick 2005 LucasArts marketing department memory for your #StarWarsDay:
The Ep3 game was scheduled for May 5. In a meeting, someone joked, “Move it up—May the FOURTH be with you!” We laughed, shrugged, kept May 5. After all, who would take a pun like that seriously marketing message?
Heh.

As I understand it, this is based on page hits, so some recency bias is to be expected.
