It’s every Star Wars fan’s favorite day of the year: May the 4th, a.k.a. Star Wars Day.

And because the Star Wars fandom is one of the biggest out there, with fans clamoring for any way to show off their love of the galaxy far, far away, May the 4th is also a day f ull of announcements, reveals, and releases of new toys and merchandise.

Nearly every product type and industry you can think of is getting in on the Star Wars action – from LEGO, Build-A-Bear, and books to luxury bedding, candles, and Star Wars-themed dog toys and treats.

Every year, the amount of new Star Wars merchandise gets even more overwhelming, so here’s a guide to some of the biggest products and deals to find on May the 4th.

New products

LEGO

For Star Wars Day, LEGO will release a new member of the Ultimate Collector Series: Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder.

LEGO also has freebies depending on how much you spend on the website. Spend more than $160 and get a LEGO Lars Family Homestead Kitchen complete with an Aunt Beru minifig. Spend more than $40 and get a miniature LEGO AT-ST.

ShopDisney

ShopDisney, of course, has a bunch of new Star Wars products, including commemorative May the 4th t-shirts. There are three different styles – a bright yellow with the May the 4th 2022 logo on the front, a white shirt featuring Grogu, and a black tee showcasing the most notorious bounty hunters in the galaxy.

And for the big-budget collector, shopDisney will have the Ahsoka Tano Legacy Lightsaber Hilts in a collectible box starting at 7 a.m. PT on May 4.

Her Universe

The popular fandom-inspired clothing and accessories brand Her Universe already released its new collections of Star Wars pieces. Some of the standout pieces include a hooded cape and dress inspired by Ahsoka Tano, a Rebels cardigan, and a Jedi Knights Athletic jersey.

And Her Universe isn’t just for women and girls, there really is something for everyone who loves Star Wars – from t-shirts and tops to sweaters and skirts. Her Universe is also a great spot to find accessories, home and office products, and other collectibles.

Vera Bradley

It’s honestly surprising that Vera Bradley hasn’t had a Star Wars line of bags and accessories. But just in time for May the 4th, the iconic brand teams up with Lucasfilm for a colorful collection combining Vera Bradley’s signature pattern style with symbols and characters from the galaxy far, far away.

The trio of patterns is inspired by the most famous people and places of Star Wars – from Darth Vader and the Death Star to Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia. If you look closely at these eye-catching patterns, you’ll even find Boba Fett, stormtroopers, and X-Wing starfighters.

Homesick Candles

Homesick, the popular line of candles themed after cities and states people are “homesick” for, launches its first Star Wars line on May 4th. The collection includes a trio of candles themed after Star Wars planets Endor and Tatooine and the Death Star.

The Tatooine candle is inspired by the warm, desert planet’s binary sunset, and the Endor candle imagines the smells of the lush, Ewok-filled forested moon. And the Death Star candle is what the Dark Side of the Force smells like with hints of leather and black myrrh.

The collection also includes a cute Grogu car air freshener, which features gardenia, lavender, and rosemary scents.

Some of the toys in these boxes include a reversible The Droid You’re Looking For R2-D2, That’s No Moon, Chew Are My Only Hope, and the Ultimutt Jedi Lightsaber. There are also plenty of other Star Wars dog toys in BarkBox’s collection, including a Darth Vader plush with a removable helmet, a fuzzy Chewbacca, a squeaky Jabba the Hutt, and an adorable plush AT-AT.

There are also Dagobah Dog Bites and Mos Eisley Munchies, among other Star Wars-themed treats.

Hospitality and luxury home goods company Sobel Westex is known for some of its fandom-inspired collections, including an upcoming line inspired by Disney Resorts.
