May the 4th be with you: I’m celebrating Star Wars Day with these 10 new LEGO® sets
May the 4th be with you – (it will be very soon!).
For some people, the most important day of the year is their birthday; others prefer Christmas, Halloween or even St Patrick's Day. Others still save their excitement to celebrate Star Wars Day, otherwise known as May the 4th.
Of course, hardcore Star Wars fans don't just take one day a year to celebrate the franchise; but, setting aside a time to celebrate with other fans is a great way to bond as a fandom and as a community.
How exactly do Star Wars fans celebrate this special day? Some may decide to re-watch some of their favourite films or TV shows from the Star Wars franchise, others may dress up and attend Star Wars-themed events like trivia nights or cosplay meet-ups.
May the 4th is also a great time to treat your loved ones (or even yourself!) to some Star Wars-themed merchandise, as plenty of brands use this time to release special Star Wars-themed products.
However, one brand who offers Star Wars-themed products all year round is LEGO®, with everything from the Millennium Falcon to Starfighter display pieces.
