UPDATE: May. 3, 2024, 5:00 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with additional Star Wars Day deals and new releases.
Best Star Wars Day deals at a glance:
For techies (but not Trekkies)
Thousand-piece LEGO sets. Dirt-cheap video games. Stormtrooper-shaped squeaky toys. Washable rugs patterned with tiny Grogu heads. A Jedi craves these things.
And those are exactly the types of merch we’re getting for Star Wars Day 2024. This holiday celebrates the beloved space saga every year on May the 4th, ushering in an exciting lineup of limited-time deals and new product releases.
Below, we’ve put together a running list of all the offers you shouldn’t miss, whether you’re a casual fan, a hardcore collector, or a stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder.
Target — save up to 20% (but sometimes more) on select Star Wars items
Live now through May 4, Target’s Star Wars Day sale is crammed with deals on themed apparel, toys, limited-edition collectibles, costumes, home décor, books, backpacks, and even groceries. (I’m disappointed that no one thought of “Gro-gurt,” though.) Its main landing page promises discounts up to 20% off, but we found some that are even higher: A three-pack of Ahsoka scrunchies and a Star Wars laptop backpack are both 58% off, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is 57% off, for example. (For even steeper discounts on Star Wars video games, keep scrolling.)
GameStop — B2G1 on select Star Wars items and save 40% on exclusive deluxe Funko POP! sets
GameStop’s May the 4th sale covers select Star Wars clothing items, board games, toys, and home goods. (A Millennium Falcon-shaped waffle maker that also makes waffles shaped like Millennium Falcons? HELLO???) If you buy two of them, you’ll get a third for free. The retailer has also marked down a handful of its exclusive deluxe Funko POP! sets to the tune of 40% off.
LEGO Store — get free gift(s) with your purchase, save on select sets, and earn 2X-4X LEGO Insider points
The LEGO Store is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Star Wars collection with a multi-part Star Wars Day sale that runs in stores and online through May 5. First up, it’s giving away free exclusive gifts with the purchase of select LEGO Star Wars sets while supplies last:
-
Spend at least $40 to get a free AAT buildable worth $4.99.
-
Spend at least $90 to score a free Battle of Yavin collectible worth $14.99 (LEGO Insider members only).
-
Spend at least $160 to receive a free Trade Federation Troop Carrier set worth $29.94.
Members of the LEGO Insiders program also receive exclusive discounts on select LEGO Star Wars sets during the sale, including Chewbacca ($35 off), Ghost & Phantom II ($30 off), and the Emperor’s Throne Room Diorama ($15 off). Each purchase will net them double or quadruple their usual LEGO Insiders points, which can be put toward future discounts and rewards. If you haven’t joined the program yet, now’s a good time — and it’s completely free to sign up.
Chewy — spend at least $100 and get a free $30 gift card
Chewy sells all sorts of Star Wars-inspired gear for dogs and cats (think R2-D2 squeaky toys and catnip-filled Millennium Falcon ribbon wands), and you’ll get a free $30 gift card for every $100 you spend across its site through May 5. Just be sure to enter the coupon code HAVEFUN at checkout.
Ruggable (via Amazon) — save 20% on Star Wars rugs and doormats
Ruggable’s Star Wars collection will be 20% off on its Amazon storefront from May 4 to 6. Take your pick from 13 designs inspired by the Star Wars original trilogy, prequels, sequels, and spin-offs, including The Mandalorian. (That number will grow by one on May 6 when its popular Darth Vader rug, currently a Ruggable.com exclusive, joins the ranks.)
Star Wars movies — save up to 80%
Here’s a good excuse to schedule a May the 4th movie marathon: All nine episodes of the Skywalker saga and both standalone spin-offs (Rogue One and Solo) are on sale in the Microsoft Store until May 7. Prices start at $3.99 and $7.99 for individual rentals and purchases, respectively, with bundles available featuring bonus content for the nine main films (48% off) and the sequel trilogy (60% off).
Star Wars video games — save up to 95%
Grab some older Star Wars games on sale so you have something to play in the couple months before Star Wars Outlaws arrives. We spotted a bunch of shockingly deep discounts across multiple retailers, but mostly in the Microsoft Store:
-
Star Wars: Squadrons (Xbox) — $1.99
$39.99(save $38) -

Even more products will drop on May 4 at 8 a.m. ET, including a limited-edition Queen Amidala doll (with only 3,100 made), a Padme Amidala ear headband, a Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Collection, a remote-controlled BD-1 droid, and a Darth Maul Lightsaber set.

eBay’s exclusive “Your Side of the Fourth” event spotlights two memorabilia collections — one for the Light Side, one for the Dark — which were curated by none other than Billie Lourd, Star Wars actress and daughter of the late, great Carrie Fisher. Featured items include rare signed collectibles and iconic props used in the franchise’s movies, which start at just $0.54 cents. Shoppers can bid on them until 11:59 p.m. ET on May 4.
Mashable Deals
New LEGO Star Wars sets
The LEGO Store dropped seven brand-new building sets for Star Wars Day 2024, including an updated version of the brick-ified TIE Interceptor, originally launched in 2000. (That was the first entry in its highly detailed Ultimate Collector Series.) LEGO Insiders have exclusive early access to it until May 4, the day it goes on sale to the general public.
The other six new LEGO Star Wars sets include:
-
LEGO Star Wars BARC Speeder Escape — $29.99

New LEGO Star Wars coffee table book
The LEGO Store is also coming out with a new 312-page illustrated hardcover coffee table book called The Force of Creativity. It features development art, character designs, and interviews with folks from LEGO and Lucasfilm that shed new light on the evolution of the Star Wars brand — not just LEGO sets, but Star Wars video games, experiences, the fandom, and more. It comes in a protective slipcase that contains a “time capsule” of memorabilia (like an unproduced animation script), and you can preorder it now ahead of its release on July 20, 2024.
New Star Wars CASETiFY collection
Made in partnership with Lucasfilm, CASETiFY’s latest Star Wars collection of tech accessories heads to the Dark Side with motifs inspired by Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. Highlights include a slick laser-engraved aluminum Death Star phone case and a premium leather-embossed Darth Vader phone case, plus coordinating Apple Watch bands and AirPods cases. Prices range from $38 to $112.
Star Wars: Tales of the Empire on Disney+
Tales of the Empire is a new animated anthology from Lucasfilm’s Dave Filoni that serves as a sequel to 2022’s Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi. To quote Mashable UK Editor Shannon Connellan, it “serves up a look at two storylines involving former Jedi Barriss Offee (voiced by Meredith Salenger) and warrior Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) and how they find their way to the Galactic Empire — vengeance, it’s always vengeance.” All six episodes are out on Disney+ on May 4.
Fornite Star Wars update
Fortnite is getting a massive Star Wars-themed update on May 3 that includes new LEGO Fortnite content, new Battle Royale and Rocket Racing quests, an appearance from Chewbacca (plus the ability to unlock his Wookiee Bowcaster), a new Fortnite Festival Jam Stage inspired by Mos Eisley’s cantina, new shop outfits, and much more. It’s free to play on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Star Wars Day is celebrated every year on May 4 because “May the 4th/Fourth” sounds a lot like “May the Force” — as in, “May the Force be with you,” one of the most iconic lines from the Star Wars movie franchise. To continue the punny festivities, May 5 is sometimes referred to as “Revenge of the Fifth,” a reference to the title of Episode III.
