May the 4th be with you: The best Star Wars Day 2025 deals and new products

CNN01-05-2025

My favorite unofficial holiday is almost here! May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day, is a celebration of all things from a galaxy far, far away. As an editor who has been fawning over Star Wars for nearly her entire life, I am so excited to be rounding up all the best deals and new product launches, many of which I will be shopping myself.
This year's Star Wars Day is extra special because it coincides with the 20th anniversary of 2005's 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.' It's my favorite flick from the franchise, so these deals may be a bit biased to include some Episode III offerings. But even if you prefer the Original Trilogy, one thing you can count on is that these are the best May the 4th deals to shop this year.
Ahead of May 4, many of the deals and new launches are already live. There's sure to be more this weekend, but you can get a head start now. I'll update this story for the next several days, so keep checking back for the latest offers. Take it from one Star Wars fan to another and dive in, below.
Retailers including Amazon, Lego, Target and Walmart are getting in on the Star Wars Day action. If you're looking for all the different sales in one place, these are the best. Before I dive into different categories, this is the perfect starting point to save or check out what's new for 2025.

Each time I get on a video call with a new coworker, we always spend the first half hour talking about every little collectible stationed on the massive shelf behind me, especially the majority that are Lego Star Wars kits. Luckily, the biggest sale of the year on Lego kits from the Star Wars universe is live for May the 4th. Below, you'll find deals on many of the sets I own.
Lego dealsLego Buildable R2-D2 Astromech Droid Set

Each spring, Lego launches a massive new kit from the Star Wars universe for May the 4th as part of its Ultimate Collector Series (UCS). This year's is the first recreation of Jango Fett's ship since all the way back in 2022. I'll be buying this kit for myself.

This might be the most odd Lego set we've seen in ages, but there's certainly some charm to a brick-built Star Wars logo. I won't spoil the fun, but there's a reference to "A New Hope" to be discovered as part of the assembly process.

DealsStar Wars: A New Hope Blu-ray

Backpacks, baseball jerseys and watches are just some of the Star Wars Day offerings to shop this year. I expect to see more deals trickle in through the weekend as May the 4th gets closer, but there are still some notable discounts to peruse ahead of time.
DealsCitizen Eco-Drive Star Wars The Mandalorian Watch
Clip the on-page coupon to score a new all-time low price on this Mandalorian-inspired timepiece from Citizen. The black stainless steel casing is reminiscent of the bounty hunter's Beskar armor.

RockLove makes some of the best jewelry for geeks. Quite a few of these Kyber Crystal necklaces are on sale right now, but this green one really pops. New releasesHoth Echo Base Baseball Jersey
I picked up one of these jerseys and am shocked by how good the quality is. It feels like an official jersey from the MLB shop. The sizing is a little big, so I would order a size down from what you'd normally wear.
Vera Bradley Star Wars Bancroft Backpack
My fellow deals expert at CNN Underscored, Elena Matarazzo, has been a fan of Vera Bradley since her elementary school days and loves the brand's lightweight and machine-washable bags. So, I had to include its new Star Wars backpack.

Most of my colleagues love BaubleBar, and the company is now launching something that is getting me on board with its jewelry. This adorable ring set comes with four interlocking rings that deck out your finger with Grogu.
Heroes and Villains The Mandalorian Tee
Heroes and Villains makes some of the best Star Wars apparel. Now for May the 4th, the brand has a collection of Western-inspired shirts featuring various bounty hunters like Mando.
Boba Fett Baseball Jersey
If you prefer the outlaw vibes of everyone's favorite bounty hunter, this Boba Fett jersey has the same quality build as the Hoth counterpart I own. The sizing is a little big, so I would order a size down from what you'd normally wear.
Loungefly Hoth Mini Backpack
Loungefly bags are super popular across all fandoms, but this Hoth-inspired backpack is just for fans of "The Empire Strikes Back." I love the light blue color scheme and the prominent AT-AT design on the lower pocket. There are always some Star Wars deals floating around the web, but it's not every day that this many discounts are live at once. May the 4th, being Star Wars Day, is the best chance to save on everything from toys and collectibles to apparel, DVDs and more. Odds are, if a product is inspired by the Millennium Falcon or comes outfitted with an Imperial logo, it's on sale today.
Our senior deals editor Rikka Altland has been enjoying Star Wars since before she could form full sentences. If you're looking for deals and new product launches that are curated by a true fan, then there's no better place on the web to shop.

I skipped Fallout 76 at launch — here's why I finally gave it a shot in 2025 (and you should too)

I love Fallout. Exploring a vast, post-apocalyptic wasteland filled with horrible enemies has always brought a smile to my face. I'm also prone to getting addicted to online looter shooter games like Destiny 2 and I even got sucked into The First Descendent. So when Fallout 76 came out, it should have been the game for me. But based on the negativity from Fallout fans when it launched, I passed. Now, it's 2025, and the game has been chugging along since 2018. It's had hours and hours of content added to it, and it's become closer to the Fallout experience I always hoped it could be. It doesn't have as much personality as the numbered Fallout games (and New Vegas), but it has one key factor that keeps me coming back: it's incredibly fun. Is 2025 finally the perfect time to lose yourself in the Appalachian wasteland? I think it just might be, and here's why. For me, one of the biggest reasons to jump back into Fallout 76 is the value. Because the game is a few years old, you can get it for cheap most of the time. Even at full price, the game is $39 on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox. It's on Game Pass and can often be picked up on sale, either from the first-party platform store or from retailers like Amazon. I've been primarily playing through Game Pass, as I have an active subscription. The ridiculous number of quests and vast wilderness available to explore make it feel like a game that should cost a lot more. I've played more than 40 hours of the game in a few weeks, and it feels like there are a million more quests for me to do and powerful items to find. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And then there's the building mechanics... Fallout 76 offers a lot of content for the price. You can spend hundreds of hours exploring the wastelands if you like the game, so you'll certainly get your money's available on: Xbox and PlayStation I was a little worried that Fallout 76 might not be fun without a group of friends to play with. My normal group of looter shooter friends has dispersed between various games, with a few still hanging onto Destiny 2. Getting them to try Fallout 76 was a no-go, so it was just me rolling solo (and playing with randoms). Fortunately, after grinding my way past level 50, I can say that I'm having a blast without friends. Friends or not, the core loop of shooting enemies, looting their corpses and leveling up your character is fun and addictive, which is what you want to see from a game like Fallout 76. Whether you play a V.A.T.S. character or one who sprays all over the place, there's a lot of fun to be had in Bethesda's semi-MMO version of Fallout. While the Bethesda game may not have the official Steam Deck badge, in my experience, the game works just fine. And best of all, you don't need to do anything crazy with the settings to get it working. All I did was install the game and launch it. No startup tweaks and no crazy settings to change. Just run it and go. It's not perfect — the frame rate is lower than a traditional gaming PC or console, but the fact that I can play my current looter-shooter addiction while my family does other stuff with the TV is amazing. Now, if only there were a way to transfer characters between platforms (there isn't and probably never will be). Bethesda offers a quality of life (QOL) subscription for Fallout 76 that provides things like scrap and ammo storage, preventing you from having to deal with the headache of encumbrance as much. It costs $99.99 per year or $12.99 per month. I signed up for a month, and it's great to have if you're playing a ton of the game. However, I played all the way to level 50 without it, and it was fine. Will I keep my subscription after the first month? Probably, because I'm incredibly addicted to the game and I like the QOL changes. But I could also live without it, and I think you can, too. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm late to the Fallout 76 party. Players around the world have already known how good the game was for some time, and I'm just walking in like a beginner trying to tell people the game is good. Are there bugs? Sure. Does it crash occasionally? Of course, it's a Bethesda game. Do any of those things stop me from loving the game and wanting to finish this article to play more of it? Not even close.

Venice is wild with rumors over the secretive Bezos-Sanchez wedding

Plagued by the looming threat of disruptive protests, the upcoming Venetian wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former news anchor and licensed pilot Lauren Sanchez — which is expected to be a lavish, multimillion-dollar affair — may be one of the most anticipated and closely guarded events to be held in the floating city of love. Spokespeople for the couple remain tight-lipped and invited guests have been required to sign NDAs, but a lid cannot be kept on widespread speculation about every detail of the event that is expected to take place this week. At Harry's Bar, a fabled institution that once counted Ernest Hemingway among its customers, the waiters are hoping some of the 200 guests — a mix of A-list celebrities, political dignitaries and powerful business executives — might stop in for one of their famous Bellini cocktails. Whether or not Bezos will bring his yet-unnamed groomsmen there, as George Clooney did when he married Amal Alamuddin in 2014, is anyone's guess. 'We hope so,' one of the waiters told CNN. 'We can't divulge anyone who has made a reservation. We protect the privacy of all of our guests, not just the billionaires.' From the date to the guest list, possible venues and the bridal gown, the rumor mill is spinning at a rapid pace. Proceedings are being overseen by boutique event planners Lanza and Baucina, the Italian duo who transformed Venice's Grand Canal into a red carpet for the Clooneys' glitzy wedding. Protesters believe there's no space for a Bezos wedding in Venice, but the company has insisted that its plans are respectful of the city and the unique set of challenges it faces as one of the most overpopulated tourist sites in Europe. 'Rumors of 'taking over' the city are entirely false and diametrically opposed to our goals and to reality,' they said in a statement shared with CNN. 'From the outset, instructions from our client and our own guiding principles were abundantly clear: the minimizing of any disruption to the city.' The couple is sourcing some 80% of wedding provisions from local vendors, including pastries from the Rosa Salva pastry shop, the oldest in Venice, whose owners told CNN they have been commissioned to create 'about 200 goodie bags.' Murano glassware designer Laguna B also confirmed to CNN that it is creating special party favors. The company declined to share any further details. Veneto regional president Luca Zaia is not concerned about the city's plans to manage the wedding, telling one local paper, 'I repeat, this is a city that handles 150,000 people a day. George Clooney, François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek, Alexandre Arnault, Elton John and many others got married here.' He also surmised that the President of the United States, who is scheduled to be in Europe this week for the NATO summit, could conceivably be on the guest list, telling Corriere della Sera, 'Of course, Donald Trump could also come to this wedding.' One imagines that Trump's priorities may have shifted considerably over the weekend. With guests sworn to secrecy about their attendance, Sanchez's very public bachelorette party in Paris last month may offer clues as to who will watch on as she and Bezos say 'I do.' Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, and Eva Longoria all took part in celebrations that included a boat trip along the Seine. Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger and Ivanka Trump have also been invited, according to the Associated Press. As is tradition, Sanchez will be keeping details of her wedding gown, and its designer, under wraps until the big day, but close followers of her fashion will know she is a regular wearer of Dolce & Gabbana. Sanchez sat front and center at the Italian house's Alta Moda show in Sardinia last summer as her son Nikko Gonzalez walked the runway, signaling a close relationship with the brand. Others in the running to dress the bride could be the storied house of Oscar de la Renta. Sanchez did not attend this year's Met Gala, but she did notably wear a custom-made gown by the label for her 2024 debut. Around 30 of the city's elite water taxis, out of 280 total, are also thought to be reserved. One taxi driver told CNN he has been booked from June 25th through the 30th for 'a big wedding,' but declined to say more on the subject. Gondolas have also been put on hold, with the city's gondola association confirming they are ready for the event. The city's nine yacht ports have also been booked for the week leading up to the main event. Bezos' $500 million Koru, which is always tailed by the smaller L'Abeona, are both in the Adriatic Sea already, according to the Marine Traffic website. Venice's airspace is closed to drones and non-authorized traffic, but one source told CNN that permission has been granted for private helicopters, particularly for anyone needing special security, such as heads of state. The Marco Polo airport, no stranger to private jet traffic, already has a secluded area with direct access to private water taxis, making it easy for stars to slip into the city unseen. The wedding date itself, by far the most protected detail, still remains unconfirmed and the couple seem hellbent on keeping everyone guessing up until the last minute. A person close to Venice City Hall told CNN that the wedding planners secured a variety of venues over a period of days and will decide what happens where and when based on the most uncontrollable factors — weather and protesters. The wedding is expected to use a small handful of hotels in the city to accommodate guests or host events. One of the most talked-about possible venues is the Cini Foundation on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, which has hosted everything from G7 events to private concerts. The sculpted gardens and monastery, where monks still pray, sit across the lagoon from the famous Piazza San Marco and would provide an intimate setting ideal for a dinner. Building work being carried out in mid-June looked suspiciously like a set being built — perhaps for a wedding concert? The Aman hotel on the Grand Canal, where the Clooneys chose to wed, has also been mentioned as a potential location. Another top contender is the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a 16th-century armory that would be perfect for the ceremony itself — although it is more vulnerable to protesters, who have already threatened to block the canals if the wedding party tries to reach the venue. Interestingly, a rather wedding-esque gazebo has been erected next to the Excelsior Hotel on the Venice Lido, a stone's throw from where the Venice Film Festival is held each year. But, as with the rest of the venues, nothing is confirmed.
