Celebrating Star Wars Day: May the 4th Be With You

By

Happy Star Wars Day! Today is a day that Star Wars fans, both young and old, can appreciate and celebrate together.  So settle in tonight to watch you favorite Star Wars movie and enjoy some of the Star Wars themed items and sites that we love.

Re-enact scenes from Star Wars movies with Star Wars Fighter Pods ($2.99-19.99)—  These miniaturized squishy versions of your favorite Star Wars characters come in clear plastic pods that make them perfect for collecting, trading, and transporting for play at a fellow fan’s house. 100 different Star Wars Fighter Pod figures from all 6 Star Wars films provide endless possibility for fun especially when combined with the vehicles.  Vehicles such as the Snowspeeder and At-At ($19.99 for 16 figures, 6 pods, and 2 vehicles) are specially designed so pods can fit inside for safe transport of Star Wars figures whether traversing the galaxy or your living room floor.

Create own Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire out of paper— Toy a Day features free printable PDF patterns of Stormtroopers, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Yoda, C3P0, and R2D2. Print on white paper and color all weekend long for endless fun!
Learn about all things Star Wars through the Official Star Wars Online Encyclopedia and then impress your kids and all their friends.  Or use it as a way to motivate reluctant readers to read about their favorite characters.

Use the force when playing Kinect Star Wars ($49.99)— Young Padawans can get their Jedi on by engaging in mock light saber battle, pod racing like in The Clone Wars, getting down in a dance contest with droids, and more games that are designed for various ability levels and for single or multi-player game play.

Bring Star Wars to your living room with the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Star Wars bundle ($399)— Featuring the first ever custom white Kinect Sensor, this limited edition Xbox 360 bundle is a droid fan’s dream.  The Xbox 360 console features a custom R2D2 theme that is printed on the box instead of just being a stick on skin and the gold controller is truly C3P0-esque, making it even cooler in person than in photos.

GIVEAWAY: In honor of Star Wars Day, Hasbro has provided a Star Wars Fighter Pods Figure 16 Pack. Enter to win by leaving a comment about who your favorite Star Wars character is and why along with your email and Twitter handle by Friday, May 11 at 11:59 pm EST.
