Star Wars Day is coming up and some of you will likely have ways you mark the occasion each year. While rewatching the original trilogy again is a great way to celebrate May 4, adding a few items to your Star Wars collection isn't a bad idea either. An array of brands have got Star Wars stuff for sale in the build to this year's Star Wars Day, whether you're after a Darth Maul Funko Pop! or a Darth Vader basketball shirt.
There's a reason I picked Darth Maul out of the multitude of Star Wars Funko Pops available. It's because this Star Wars Day is even more special than usual since 2024 is the 25th anniversary of the release of The Phantom Menace. Funko recently released a line of new Pop! figures to mark the occasion, all of which are available now on Amazon in time for you to have them on display when you rewatch The Phantom Menace on May 4 and admit the movie didn't deserve close to the amount of hate it got in 1999.
Loungefly and Mondo, both of which fall under the Funko banner, also have plenty of Star Wars stuff to flick through for anyone on the lookout for stuff in time for May 4. Mondo has a very special Rogue One soundtrack which not only features the music from the fantastic spinoff movie, but also striking artwork inspired by it. Hop over to Loungefly and there's an entire Star Wars collection for fans of all kinds, whether you want to rep the dark side or show your love for the prequel trilogy.
If a Funko Pop! on a shelf or a backpack you'll wear occasionally isn't enough Star Wars for your Star Wars Day, BoxLunch has a range of merch that will let you flaunt your fandom all day long. A basketball shirt designed to look like the uniform the Galactic Empire would wear if they had a team, complete with Darth Vader's face as the team's crest, or a baseball-style Vader shirt with the Sith Lord's number on the back. 77 which represents the year the first movie was released, although 66 would have felt more fitting.
Items from across Funko, Mondo, Loungefly, and BoxLunch's Star Wars collections can be found above, all of which are available now and there's even more if you follow the links to the respective sites. There's also a lot of Star Wars stuff incoming for fans who prefer to build their own merch via Lego. Celebrating 25 years since the first Star Wars Lego set, a range of new products has already been announced, including a 2,000-piece TIE interceptor set.

Fortnite players aren't too happy about this year's Star Wars event, as they think that there's not enough content added to the Battle Royale mode compared to how much has been put into Lego Fortnite.

In its continuing quest to become Everything to Everyone, Fortnite has shapeshifted, The Thing-like, into a new Lego Star Wars game.

Thank your own personal deity—possibly C-3PO as worshipped by Ewoks—it's Friday! Obviously, the two biggest headliners are those freebies—LEGO Star Wars III and Tomb Raider [2013]. Whip up a free (and easily ditched) Amazon Prime Gaming subscription to have and to hold them forever in your GOG library. I recently replayed Lara's reboot as part of the ongoing gaming education of my eldest. Still stands up as a well-Crofted action adventure.

Players can choose from characters like Rieve, a dark-side-empowered warrior, a lightsaber-wielding droid called J-3DI, and even Utooni, a pair of junk-scavenging Jawas stacked together. Each of these characters has their own unique abilities, which will come in handy during frantic battles across several classic Star Wars locations.
