    May the force be with you! It’s May 4—aka Star Wars Day—which also means it’s Star Wars deals day. And lucky for you, we found all sorts of deals on themed video games, LEGO sets, apparel, toys, and more.

    But to start, if you own a Chromecast with Google TV or a compatible Sony Bravia TV, you’ll see a wall of Star Wars movies and TV shows when you turn it on. Google TV’s banner rolls between The Mandalorian and A New Hope while you look through the “May the 4th” row. Here you can easily find something to watch, like the season premiere of The Bad Batch, some vintage cartoons, or one of the saga’s three wonderful trilogies.

    Video Games

    The most exciting way to enjoy Star Wars (besides watching the movies, of course) is to play video games set in that universe. With such a range of games—allowing you to play all of the most popular characters on either side of the fight—and even fly in TIE Fighters or join a podrace, there’s something for everyone.
