California Legislature Declares May 4 ‘Star Wars Day'

May the fourth officially be with you.

The California Legislature voted Thursday to declare May 4 "Star Wars Day" in recognition of a Disneyland theme park slated to open later this month.

The Mavericks Big Wave Surf Contest may be getting new life. Cartel Management, the bankrupt organizer of Mavericks has filed a motion to sell the contest to the World Surf League, NBC Bay Area learned late Wednesday night.

It's a play on the Star Wars' phrase "may the force be with you." The resolution by Democratic Assemblyman Tom Daly says it's the largest single-site expansion in the park's history and could generate $14 million in tax revenue for the city of Anaheim annually.

The resolution also recognizes the Walt Disney Company's "decades-long record of enhancing the quality of life for people in California and beyond."
