May the Fourth be with us all on this Star Wars Day. While things have been relatively quiet with the multimedia gold mine that is Star Wars, with just some murmurs about upcoming movies (The Mandalorian and Grogu excluded), a lone live-action show on the horizon, and a long way to the release of the Fate of the Old Republic game, it’s nevertheless a day to celebrate the franchise. And by that, I mean it’s time to save money on some Star Wars goodies.
Whether you celebrate Star Wars Day by hosting a movie marathon, or you just have a mild appreciation for the franchise, the power of the force will compel you to buy everythi — whoa, sorry about that. We’ve rounded up deals on video games, Lego kits, movies, and more. If you’re buying for a superfan, Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy are all offering deals on all sorts of Star Wars merchandise, from toys and Band-Aids to water bottles.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is steeply discounted at multiple retailers for all platforms right now. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X physical editions are down to $19.99 (previously around $30) at Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart, while the game costs just $10.75 on Steam. Sadly, the digital console versions are still full price at $69.99.
Fans of third-person Star Wars games have had plenty to feast on the past couple of years, with Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws being another one worth checking out, especially now that it’s cheaper than usual. You can grab the physical version on PS5 and Xbox Series X for $20.99 (previously $29.99) at Best Buy, or for $19.93 at Walmart. The more recent Nintendo Switch 2 version is also going for $35.97 (about $42 off) at Amazon, though it has recently sold for about $5 less.
Moving on to toys, Lego is offering deals on select Star Wars sets through May 6th for those who have a free Lego Insiders account. You can get similar prices at Amazon, though you’ll be missing out on some free gifts you’ll get with select purchases (not to mention extra loyalty points). Orders of $40 or more for Lego Star Wars sets will include a miniature Razor Crest, which is a $5 value. If you buy more than $160 worth of Lego gear, you’ll get the 278-piece Darksaber set (a $30 value).
There are several other Lego Star Wars sets available for less than usual, even though they don’t include freebies like the ones above. The classic 525-piece AT-AT walker is down to $51.99 ($13 off) at Amazon and Target, which is a new low price. If you or a loved one is into Ahsoka, you can also get a set that includes the Ghost and Phantom II ships, plus a set of five Ahsoka minifigures, for $111.99 (was $159.99) at Amazon.
If you have $70 to spend on an Amazon smart speaker, we recommend the new-ish Echo Dot Max because it offers great sound quality. But our recommendation changes if you’re a Star Wars fan. Amazon still sells its fifth-gen Echo Dot speaker with a Grogu stand for $71.98. While a deal compared to buying the speaker and stand separately (it’d be about $80), the sale price isn’t new for Star Wars Day.
If you’d prefer your Grogu-skinned Echo Dot not to have eyes, Amazon sells a stand that’s all ears with an Echo Dot for $67.98.
