There’s a whole new legion of Star Wars fans thanks to Disney+, which means even more people to celebrate May 4th – officially, Star Wars Day!
Fans of the iconic George Lucas film franchise crowned May 4th as the day to celebrate all things Star Wars, whether you’re an original trilogy boomer or a newbie who binge-watched The Mandalorian the minute it hit your TV.
Celebrating Star Wars Day should surely include a movie-marathon, from the Skywalker Saga to beyond, and there’s even more fun ways to mark May 4th with a slew of Star Wars merchandise. Of course, there’s the classic fan favourites including action figures, costumes and your own lightsaber, but there’s so many fun Star Wars gifts too – from LEGO Star Wars to a Star Wars waffle maker and Stormtrooper decanter. How fancy!
If you’re going to celebrate, why not do it in the right way? As Yoda would say, “do or do not, there is no try.”
