Star Wars

It's one of the most popular film franchises of all time and there are no shortage of dog-owning Star Wars fans – as these popular pet names show.

It's Star Wars Day! Whether you're all about the nine-film Skywalker Saga or just adore Baby Yoda, here are six ways to celebrate May the 4th.

Lots of places discount their Star Wars merch on May 4, and StarWars.com has a roundup of all the coolest stuff, from Han and Leia "I love you/I know" wedding bands to Baby Yoda dashboard wavers. And next week, Obi-Wan and Anakin fans will want to check out the new novel "Star Wars: Brotherhood" set just after the "Attack of the Clones" prequel film. StarWarsKids.com is a one-stop resource for children to find out about all the characters and creatures fans love. The flagship "Star Wars" comic is currently filling in the time between "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" as Luke comes to grips with Darth Vader being his dad. “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch spinning out of the prequel-era "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," which features Obi-Wan and Anakin before they turned into mortal enemies. If the newest "Star Wars" trilogy hasn't been exciting enough, the rash of recent comic books and novels – most of them pretty rad – have fleshed out stories not seen in the movies.

Ah, May 4th, the day that every Star Wars fan can crack open their cans of quotes, memes, and every piece of fandom they own, and celebrate the galaxy far, ...

The battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith is one of the most intense action scenes in any film period. Any true Star Wars fan knows that the ‘high ground’ is key to any and all success. Is handed one of the most dangerous weapons in the galaxy and immediately points it directly at himself. The Anakin and Padmé meme template was a favourite among Star Wars fans last year. McGregor is perhaps the most beloved actor to come out of the Star Wars series - with this fan gifting her mother a delightful picture. And from a completely unbiased viewpoint, Star Wars has the most meme-worthy material out there.

We take a deep dive into the galaxy far, far away to rank all of the Star Wars live-action movies to figure out which film is the best of all-time!

By adding dimensionality to its boy hero, who now in the middle chapter of a larger saga is forced to reconsider his vainglorious ideals, and depth to his conflict with a villain who no longer seems so simple in one of the greatest movie twists of all-time, Empire Strikes Back creates an interiority for its archetypes, as well as stakes that are a little more primal and tangible than “save the galaxy.” Nerd culture just wouldn’t be the same without the story of a young Luke Skywalker learning the ways of the Force and taking on the evil Empire with all of his friends. Not only does this tale of underdogs fighting oppression feel universal and poignant to this day, but A New Hope is also visually stunning, an absolute trailblazer in terms of what could be done with practical effects in the late ’70s. In fact, watching this movie in 2022 still feels like a timeless experience. However, the heart and strength of Luke’s story still shine bright in Return of the Jedi. It’s a movie that seems to say something different at any age at which you watch it, depending on where you are in your own life journey compared to Luke’s burdened self-discovery. With a great ensemble cast of characters, Rogue One has an adult edge most Star Wars movies lack, and a stark visceral scale in which the power of the Empire never seemed more looming. It’s a genuine war movie about sacrifice and embracing an ideal, and unlike most other Disney Star Wars movies, the fan service (here involving a particular Dark Lord of the Sith) is literally killer. Clocking in at nearly a full 10 minutes of acrobatic somersaults, lightsaber slashes, and pure unbridled fury, the duel is one of the few moments in the Prequels that rises to the occasion of John Williams’ awe-inspiring score. The participation of Jango Fett in the clone saga connects bounty hunter Boba Fett and the Mandalorians to the rest of the Star Wars universe, integral parts of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Add in the innovative use of digital effects, especially with Yoda, and it becomes clear that Attack of the Clones plays a pivotal role in the past and future of the franchise. Making Han and Leia’s child the antagonist was a clever reversal of the Original Trilogy’s big twist, and helped elevate The Force Awakens into one of the most talked-about movies of its time. The rest of Revenge of the Sith is very much the same mixed bag as its predecessors, but from the moment Darth Sidious mutters “execute order 66” on, the film presents some of the most exciting action in the entire Star Wars saga. Though the films are technically impressive and their depiction of a slowly eroding republic has aged quite nicely, The Phantom Menace and Attack of Clones really did amount to a lot of time-killing before getting to the main event that Star Wars fans had waited decades to see: Kenobi vs. It’s all a matter of what you want from the galaxy far, far away, and J.J. Abrams’ final love letter to George Lucas’ Original Trilogy of space fantasy films is exactly what some fans wanted after Rian Johnson tried to set the franchise on a new course with The Last Jedi.

New trailers and hints about the latest films might be teased by Disney today.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s overlord Kevin Feige is also reportedly overseeing a Star Wars project, but this is similarly vague. Taika Waititi, the director of Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder is attached to another upcoming Star Wars project, but this doesn’t even have a title. May 4th, also known as Star Wars Day, marks the celebration of all things from a galaxy far, far away.

With the sheer number of movies and TV shows in the franchise, you won't be alone in being overwhelmed with the amount of galactic content to consume.

- Episode II–Revenge of the Sith (2005) - Episode II–Attack of the Clones (2002) - Episode VI–Return of the Jedi (1983)

May the 4th be with you. Here's our favourite Star Wars Day items including a Lego Millennium Falcon, a beautifully crafted lightsaber and a Death Star fire ...

I've lost count of the number of Lego Star Wars games - but this new title released in April shakes everything up with a new third-person player perspective and much more. And, from May 27, you’ll also be able to watch Obi-Wan Kenobi starring Ewan McGregor. The channel is also home to Disney, Pixar, Marvel, National Geographic and Star. This Filmcells night light is a must for all stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire and comes with remote and choice of 16 colour variations. Then get your geek on with this necktie featuring the universe’s most famous droids. This year's Star Wars Day comes a few weeks before the launch of Disney+ mini-series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which is set to hit the streaming service on May 27. There’s also a double pack with Kylo Ren and a Sith Trooper to collect. This Lego BrickHeadz set features The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda. Once built, they can be displayed on your shelves, with The Child coming complete with his trusty hover pram. Heading back to the office? It’s made by SciFiTies who also have a range of other novelty ties, which are all modelled by the Imperial fleet's most fashionable stormtrooper. This IS the box set you've been looking for! What was once a fan-generated jamboree (Jawaboree?) is now recognised by the official Star Wars channels, with their social media accounts sharing posts using the hashtag #MayThe4thBeWithYou to mark the occasion. There’s also an automatic colour changing mode, so you can pretend you’re at a disco at the Mos Eisley cantina.

To celebrate Star Wars day The Mancunion's Joe McFadden details what makes Star Wars: The Clone Wars so personal to him.

But one thing that we will always have is Star Wars: The Clone Wars and those magical moments spent a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. However, most importantly, it was something I shared with my brother, and that is why I will always be grateful for this show. For me, this is why Star Wars: The Clone Wars was the most important show of my childhood. The Clone Wars was such a huge part of our childhood that when it ended 6 weeks after we turned 18 it only felt appropriate that our childhood should end with it. On May 4th 2020, The Clone Wars aired its series finale ‘Victory and Death’, the epic conclusion not just to the thrilling ‘Siege of Mandalore’ arc, or the show itself, but to our childhoods. Now, some of you may be reading this and think he’s dead but I assure you that is not the case. Now, if you are not a Star Wars fan this will mean nothing to you but back in 2008 exploring this relatively new era of Star Wars in a mainstream TV show was a very exciting prospect. It opened my eyes to the magic of Star Wars, a franchise that has had such a defining effect on my life, and most importantly, formed the centrepiece of mine and my brother’s relationship for much of our later childhood. Time and again, The Clone Wars refused to pull its punches and was all the better for it. Instead, I discovered it on my own – or rather fittingly, with my brother – and that is why I think The Clone Wars had such an effect on my formative years. The Clone Wars wasn’t a show that talked down to its audience, but instead taught them and encouraged them to grow up with it. Following its August 2008 film debut, Star Wars: The Clone Wars premiered on the small screen on October 3rd of that year.

Star Wars Day is here and the Pandora Star Wars jewellery collection is back for another year of fan favourite charms, bracelets and more.

If you’re looking to go all out with the whole Star Wars kit then this charm set is a great buy. As with the majority of Pandora charms the adorable character is crafted from sterling silver and has been set in a floating crib with black enamel eyes and signature big ears on full display. A great option for anyone looking for a gift for a true Star Wars fan, this key ring and charm set is quite the buy. Unlike most of the Pandora charms that then have to be added to a bracelet or key ring, the fact that this set comes readymade is quite impressive. C-3PO is beloved by many Star Wars fans, meaning this gold charm is sure to top a lot of wishlists. For those that lean towards the dark side, this Darth Vader charm is for you.

Today is May 4th, which is known worldwide as Star Wars Day, and as part of the celebrations new character packs have been released for the hit LEGO game…

To mark May the 4th, we asked Luke Bligh and Matt Hudson from the Star Wars Sessions to create a guide to celebrate Star Wars Day 2022.

Matt: The George Lucas treatments from Episode seven to nine will always be a source of mystery and wonder. Mando was designed so that you could watch it without knowing much about the rest of Star Wars universe. The idea of rocking up to work dressed as The Mandalorian is tempting. Luke: I’m predicting a trailer drop for Obi-Wan Kenobi, the upcoming Disney Plus series out on May 27. Followed by some light comic book reading and a Star Wars film marathon, or at least a double bill. - What is the number of the first Imperial Shuttle seen in Return of the Jedi?

Star War nerds will be happy to know that Disney+ just released its brand-new trailer for “Obi-Wan Kenobi” to kick off Star Wars Day (aka May the Fourth).

Obi-Wan Kenobi faces off against the Darth Vader, Inquisitors, bounty hunters, and stormtroopers in the latest trailer for the upcoming Star Wars series!

And here’s a shot of the Fifth Brother from the back. We get a first look at two new droids featured in the series. Above you can see some kind of battle droid shooting at stormtroopers in a cave. We even get a look at the actual bounty, and it’s nice to see Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan again. Rupert Friend’s Grand Inquisitor was the subject of much debate when the first teaser dropped a few weeks back. Reva replies, “Maybe you’ve been looking in the wrong places,” at which point the trailer cuts to the shot above. He was first introduced in The Empire Strikes Back as one of the mercenaries hired by Darth Vader to hunt down Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon. Opening fire on the Inquisitors on their home turf seems like a really bad idea… Obi-Wan Kenobi will introduce a new kind of stormtrooper to live-action. In the first teaser, we saw Obi-Wan getting shot at from both sides during this gunfight. While the first teaser only featured the ominous sound of Vader’s breathing, this new trailer finally shows us the iconic villain in the flesh…or what’s left of it, anyway. Before we unpack all the teases and easter eggs, have a watch if you haven’t already:

Obi-Wan Kenobi, starting May 27 on Disney+, follows Ewan McGregor's legendary Jedi Master 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. The ...

As seen in the new trailer, the hunt is on for the Jedi — and Obi-Wan in particular. The official trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi has arrived in celebration of May the 4th, and it’s filled with new imagery and details from the upcoming limited series. Stormtroopers stalk the streets, and the Empire’s Jedi-hunting Inquisitors lead the charge. Obi-Wan Kenobi, starting May 27 on Disney+, follows Ewan McGregor’s legendary Jedi Master 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. The Empire reigns and the few surviving Jedi are in hiding, with Kenobi living in secret on Tatooine and watching over Luke Skywalker from afar. These are the dark times, indeed. While Obi-Wan delivered a newborn Luke Skywalker to Owen Lars, the Tatooine moisture farmer — and stepbrother of Anakin Skywalker — seems to want nothing more to do with Kenobi. It’s a sentiment that draws a straight line to his concerns in Star Wars: A New Hope.

To celebrate Star Wars Day, some current StarWars.com writers reflect on their favorite moments as Star Wars fans.

Several years later, I attended my first red carpet event: the Solo: A Star Wars Story world-premiere in Hollywood, California. And that C-3PO action figure was there with me, safely tucked into my coat pocket, to commemorate my first step into that larger world. After so many missed opportunities, I finally got to see Star Wars for the first time, under the stars, at a drive-in movie theater: the Twin-Do drive-in in Metairie, Louisiana. While that specific theater is no longer in existence, the memory has lasted a lifetime and has spring-boarded my love for this mythology into countless moments and experiences. I fought the temptation to blurt out anything about Star Wars and totally derail the table-wide conversation (for a behind-the-scenes Star Wars nerd like me, this was next to impossible). At the end of the dinner, Gary walked over to me. He was a gentleman, and a member of that small and elite unit who helped make Star Wars what it was and what it is today. In my teenage years I was the proud owner of a portable CD player, and there was only one thing I wanted to listen to with it. Whether I was on a school bus in the dark morning hours or curled up under a blanket, I took my CD player and Star Wars along as my personal soundtrack. When I wanted to “watch” Star Wars, I loaded up the first disc, closed my eyes, and replayed the movie in my imagination. Through a message board for Star Wars literature fans, I made friends with some Czech fans, helping them with some translations, and got to meet a few of them in person when I visited Prague in 2004. And that was the start of my lifelong love of Star Wars. – Dustin Diehl One of my earliest memories is going to see a re-release of Return of the Jedi in Manhattan with them in 1985, taking all my action figures and lining them up on one seat, and then watching the movie perched from my dad’s lap. That first movie theater experience was the spark that lit my passion for the Star Wars universe. On Star Wars Day, there are countless ways to celebrate the Star Wars fan community and the the saga that unites us.

May the fourth be with you! Get it? It's the fourth of May. And it rhymes with "May the Force be with you." It's all a bit hammy but in a good way.

The first film, A New Hope, establishes that Luke Skywalker's journey began on Tatooine, where he meets “Ben” Kenobi, a harmless hermit dressed in ragged robes, ...

The series will feature Moses Ingram as Reva, a former Jedi, now of the Empire’s Inquisitors, who seems determined to track down Obi-Wan, and seems to share a personal history with him. Lastly, it is believed that Tatooine is such a backwater planet, floating in the middle of nowhere, that Vader’s forces wouldn’t even bother to look there. Even Boba Fett’s greatest ambition was to rule the “backwater” planet.

Anthony covers Star Wars related gaming updates to Fortnite, the rumored Jedi Fallen Order sequel, and future projects yet to be titled.

Many other exciting projects are on the way like the ones Amy Hennig’s Skydance New Media and Ubisoft recently announced (both untitled). In addition, there is a remake of Knights of the Old Republic which could make a 2022 release. If the Force is with us, maybe even a first glance at some gameplay or a very short teaser. Obi-Wan Kenobi drops on Disney+ on May 27th, and it’s time to feel the might of both the Dark and Light sides. In brilliant timing for marketing, Fortnite has brought back many skins (listed) for Star Wars Celebration (May 26-29). They’ve seen an increase in player base with the inclusion of the “no-build mode” of the popular battle royale shooter. The teaser clip highlights his famous blue saber and has a slight zoom-out effect showing the wielder having the high ground. Previously, Din Djarin was an in-game boss and would drop a rifle and jet pack for your loadout.

Disney+ has released a video promoting the collection of Star Wars projects on the streaming platform to celebrate May the Fourth.

The Star Wars library seems big as is, but Disney+ is set to turn the franchise into a much larger world. Coupled with the new films, Star Wars has come to have a dozen times the amount of content it once did. Diehard fans of Star Wars are well aware of the stories inhabiting the world, but the Disney+ promo puts into perspective how much the franchise has grown.

Star Wars: Obi-Wan #1 artist Ario Anindito reveals never-before-seen art, including concept sketches, page layouts, and more with his own insights.

His ‘lost years’ are always fascinating for many of us Star Wars fans, and I think his adventure in this book is one important piece of the puzzle that shaped him to become what he is.” And at the same time he’s also fragile, but he’s very determined to be brave and overcome his fragility. “In order to make her distinctive, I gave her long black hair and a pair of ‘devil horns,’ so that she looks evil, but in style. “In the second part is the ‘story from the journal,’ so I changed the style. She’s way more brave and mature than kid Obi, and that’s what I put in her expressions, and it set her apart from kid Obi. There is no doubt in her. How she’s sad, and holds onto the pendant dearly because it reminds her of those she longs for. “For the pendant, there was no specific description about it other than it’s made from rare and valuable Eadun silver. “I wanted to give a different treatment to those two parts, so I made the first part in pencil, not inked, and looking more rough. He collects stuff that he sees fit, and he brought all the stuff he needs for his adventure. To mark the Star Wars Day release of Obi-Wan #1, StarWars.com caught up with Anindito, who opened up his sketchbook and shared his early explorations and penciled pages for a look at the making of the issue, while providing commentary for his process. I imagine her as a combination of a female wolf and a serpent, lurking in the shadow and observing. The overall tone in the first pages is also very yellow and dusty, in contrast with the second part.”
