My Dad's birthday is May the 4th, but he has never understood the cultural reference. So I don't mention it, and he doesn't laugh. Doesn't know who Princess Leia is.

May the 4th is an important date in Chinese history, when in 1919 students protested the unequal treatment of the Treaty of Versailles.

Just get him to say, "I am your father" like in the scene with Darth and Luke. I didn't know about the 1919 event. Thank you for the insight.
