What’s Happening:

  • We love a good mystery merchandise reveal especially if it’s themed to Star Wars! Over at Disney Store, they are counting down to May the 4th with three days of mystery unveilings celebrating various factions of the Star Wars universe.

  • The May the 4th page showcases only a logo, so it’s anyone’s guess what the item(s) might be! Among the images are:
    • Rebels Phoenix – May 1st
    • First Order – May 2nd
    • Sith Eternal/Final Order – May 3rd
  • New Star Wars items are arriving daily at Disney Store starting at 8am PT. The May 3rd reveal is the Darth Sidious lightsaber hilt and it sells for $169.99.
