With how important May the 4th is to Star Wars fans, we thought it would be fun to round up the merch we recommend to help grow your collection for Star Wars or dip your toe into the franchise if you are new to it. From merch ranging from action figures to video games, here is our recommended merch to celebrate Star Wars Day! May the fourth be with you!
Star Wars Funko Pops To Collect For May the 4th
Funko Pops are neat figures that celebrate many genres and franchises in the pop culture community. With how much they cover in the pop-culture community, it is no surprise they have a huge collection of Star Wars figures, from standalone figures to recreating famous scenes. With how big the collection is, it could be overwhelming to choose the right figure to get, but to help make it easier, here is a Star Wars Funko Pop we recommend that captures the meaning of May the 4th.
The Funko Pop we recommend is the recreation of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vadar’s battle in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. It is an iconic battle and a perfect figure that captures the essence of Star Wars Day on May the 4th.
- Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi with the most stellar fandom of all!
- While the Battle of Endor rages below, Pop! Luke Skywalker and Pop! Darth Vader duel in the Emperor’s throne room aboard the second Death Star.
LEGO Star Wars Sets To Build
LEGO Star Wars is a fun way to collect and build to celebrate May the 4th, as there is a massive catalogue to choose from. But to make it easier, here are some sets I recommend building to add to your collections.
Based on the Invasion of Naboo from Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace and Clone Wars series, The LEGO Droideka is a fun set to build as it comes in a big and mini set with a small log about the Droideka. If you are looking to build something with a friend, LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor is perfect as it comes with two starfighters and three characters to collect, including The Mandalorian. The last set I recommend is the LEGO BrickHeadz collection from Star Wars: Episode I – Phantom Menace, featuring six characters such as Anakin Walker, Jar Jar Binks, Queen Amidala, Captain Panka, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Darth Maul. You can order it here.
- Buildable Droideka LEGO droid figure – Create a fun display with a collectible brick built model of a Droideka destroyer droid, as seen in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: The Clone Wars
