How to Celebrate Star Wars™ Day in 2026

Dust off your Jedi Interceptors and get your Lightsabers™ ready, folks, because it’s that time of year again! That’s right, we are getting ready to celebrate May the 4th, also known as Star Wars™ Day. It’s a day for fans to show their love for one of the most famous series of all time, and introduce new fans to the galaxy far, far away.

To help you make the most of this occasion, we’ve rounded up some ideas for how you can celebrate, LEGO® brick style.

Build a LEGO® Star Wars™ set

And what better way to celebrate May the 4th than by building one of your favourite models from the Star Wars™ galaxy out of LEGO® bricks? Whether you dream of piloting a starfighter, rebuilding legendary characters or recreating iconic battles, there’s a set for every Jedi, Sith and intergalactic bounty hunter out there.

Are you a devotee of the original trilogy? Or maybe you prefer the Prequel Trilogy? No matter which corner of the galaxy is your favorite, there's a LEGO Star Wars set calling your name. 

Fans of Din Djarin and Grogu will love the Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter™ (75442), released to coincide with Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu™. This 1809-piece Ultimate Collector Series set recreates this iconic starfighter in incredible detail. Designed for display, it comes with a stand and information plaque to help you show off your fandom.  

Celebrating Star Wars Day with a younger fan? We have plenty of Mandalorian and Grogu-themed sets suitable for young builders. Check out the adorable Grogu™ (Mandalorian Apprentice) (75446), the distinctive Razor Crest (75447) or the exciting New Republic X-Wing Starfighter™ (75460). Or, for a play-orientated build, check out or new interactive LEGO® SMART Play™ Star Wars sets.  

Whatever you decide to build, you can use the LEGO Builder app’s Build Together function to build a LEGO set together.

Host a Star Wars™ watch party

This one may seem obvious, but one of the best ways to celebrate May the 4th is by watching a Star Wars™ movie or series at home. 

It’s a big anniversary next year: 50 years of Star Wars: A New Hope™. You could always get started early by catching up on the legendary film that started it all.    

2026 marks 10 years since the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story™. So this could be a good time to catch up on the story that introduced us to Cassian Andor.  

Or if you prefer bingeing series, there’s no shortage of Star Wars-based excitement out there. Discover the events leading up to Rogue One in Andor™. Or get ready for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu™ with the three seasons of The Mandalorian™ and The Book of Boba Fett™. 

While you may not be up for a full nine-movie marathon of the Prequel, Original and Sequel trilogies (though, if that’s your plan, May the Force be with you), one thing is certain: watch parties are way more fun with friends! Invite your pals over for a fun time, and make sure you have plenty of snacks.

Celebrate the history of LEGO® Star Wars™ with The Force of Creativity

Back in 2024 we celebrated the 25th anniversary of LEGO® Star Wars™, and to mark the occasion we created a special-edition book for fans of the theme and the many sets released over the years. The book, LEGO Star Wars: The Force of Creativity, offers an in-depth look at all the sets we’ve created from 1999, when the LEGO Star Wars theme first launched, to early 2024, when the book was published.

Play the Star Wars™ content in LEGO® Fortnite®

Gamers can join in the action too! Check out the LEGO® Star Wars™ content available now on LEGO Fortnite®.

Explore the details of the previous LEGO Star Wars updates here. Rebel and Imperial ships have arrived in LEGO Fortnite, and the battle is on! Fans can help the Rebels build their village, wield a Lightsaber™ and take on stormtroopers with weapons like thermal detonators, E-11 blasters and bowcasters. In addition, Star Wars lovers and Fortnite fans can seek out the LEGO Fortnite Star Destroyer for an extra fun twist.

Talk like a Star Wars™ character

What would Star Wars™ be without its beloved characters? From Sith Lords to Jedi, Wookiees to Ewoks, the inhabitants of the galaxy are nothing short of iconic. Celebrate May the 4th by trying to talk like some of your favourite characters. You can speak like Yoda, try out your best Chewbacca growl or ominously enter any room with deep Darth Vader breaths.

Too much for every day? You could always try throwing some of your favourite quotes into conversation. (But maybe don’t call someone a “scruffy-looking nerf herder” – that’s not very nice!) Greet your friends with a “Hello there!” à la Obi-Wan Kenobi, or give a friend some Yoda-like encouragement by reminding them to “Do. Or do not. There is no try.” And of course, you can never go wrong with the classic “May the Force be with you”.

With LEGO® Star Wars™ sets, the adventure never ends! Whether you're recreating epic battles or telling your own intergalactic stories, there are endless ways to play.

To celebrate Star Wars Day this year, try playing "Guess the scene", where you build a famous Star Wars moment from LEGO bricks and challenge your family or friends to guess what it is. Or, you could transform a room into your own Star Wars galaxy using LEGO bricks, balloons and other craft supplies to create planets and space stations. Then, build a LEGO Star Wars set or design a starship to your own specification to set off and explore your galaxy. The play possibilities are as infinite as the galaxy itself!

However you choose to celebrate, we wish you a very happy Star Wars Day! May the Force be with you.
