Nobody celebrates Star Wars Day, May the 4th, like Lego, and the Danish toymaker is busting out both new brick sets and some fun giveaways to celebrate the long-running Disney franchise.
And this time around, Lego is recognizing the wildly popular “May the Fourth Be With You” celebration alongside the 40th anniversary of “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi,” which saw a limited re-release in select U.S. theaters from April 28 through May 4.
And, for Utah Star Wars fans looking for bragging rights, a new report from Bookies.com scanned Google Trends data from 2020-2023 and found that the Beehive State held down the #1 spot in all four years when it comes to searching for all things Star Wars.
