Not many film franchises are popular enough to warrant their own holiday, but it seems Star Wars is. May the 4th has become widely known as ‘Star Wars Day’ - a time when fans all around the world celebrate the saga from a galaxy far, far away - thanks to the date's resemblance to a line so famous we don’t need to remind you of it.
And now brands are getting in on the act too. Restaurants, shops and entertainment venues have offered everything from film screenings to spaced-themed live music in honour of Star Wars Day over the last few years, and 2017 is set to be no different.This year, the May the 4th celebrations are taking place both offline and online, with many brands offering limited time discounts on Star Wars products throughout the week.
LEGO is one of the brands jumping on the May the 4th wagon, with both week-long discounts and single day events until May 6th. If you’re a fan of LEGO and Star Wars, this is one you won’t want to miss, with up to 40% off some of the best-selling sets to celebrate 40 years of Star Wars.
