Slashing prices on Star Wars gear for May the 4th

Retailers all over the world are offering discounts on all of their Star Wars-inspired wares on the 4th of May. Today, everything from rugs to pet toys is available for less than the retail price. We focus on games and tech from the Star Wars universe. Many of these sales are only valid today, so you have to act fast to take advantage of the savings.

A galaxy of games

You can get a discount on almost every game in the Star Wars library, whether you play on PC, Xbox, or PS4. You can find classics like Star Wars Episode 1 Racer and Star Wars Republic Commando, but we think a few contemporary titles deserve more attention.

The Skywalker Saga is the definitive Lego Star Wars experience, tying together every mainline film from The Phantom Menace to The Rise of Skywalker. Characters from one-shot films are included in the game. This title is similar to other entries in the series and is sure to appeal to fans of all ages.

Respawn Entertainment is the same studio that created the Titanfall franchise. The inspiration for Fallen Order comes from games like Dark Souls and Metroid.

You won't find a more comprehensive collection of characters outside of Star Wars Battlefront II with the exception of the most recent Lego Star Wars title, The Skywalker Saga. Battlefront II is a class-based combat game that can be played online or offline. There is a co-op PvE mode that allows you to play with your friends. I don't want to be right if Ewoks online is wrong.

Star Wars: Squadrons is a tense, difficult, and immersive aerial combat game. The game is based on classics like X-Wing and Tie Fighter and makes a compelling case for owning a virtual reality headset. You may want to check your pulse if you don't audibly scream the first time you pass across the bridge of a Star Destroyer.

Mobile Accessories

The Star Wars-themed cases and other mobile accessories will be available from today. These mobile accessories are perfect for any Star Wars fan.

You can save 15 percent on any Star Wars-themed phone case. The classic films and the Mandalorian are just a few of the designs that can be found on Symmetry cases.

There are a lot of Star Wars cases and accessories available. Leather Apple Watch bands, wireless charging pads, and tablet cases all feature themes from the original films, as well as phone cases.
