'Star Wars'-themed 'March to May the 4th' event launches new toys, collectibles and more
Disney and Lucasfilm have joined forces to launch "March to May the 4th," an event that celebrates the antagonists of the "Star Wars" franchises with special toy releases, apparel, collectibles and more, including three exclusive new product reveals for "GMA" viewers.
Included in the reveal is the Star Wars The Black Series: Holocomm Collection Darth Vader Action Figure, a six-inch collectible figure from Hasbro that comes with a bounty chip with an Aurebesh inscription, a holopuck and Darth Vader’s signature Lightsaber accessory. This toy is available for pre-order starting at 9 a.m. ET on Friday, March 22 on Amazon -- find the link below.
Another fun item is the Padmé Amidala Ear Headband for Adults, crafted from simulated leather and adorned with glimmering rhinestones -- perfect for wearing on your summer vacation to Disney World. "GMA" viewers got an advance look, but mark your calendars for May 4 when the headband becomes available at Disney Stores and in Disney Parks.
"GMA also got an exclusive look at the cover of the new "Star Wars Icons: Darth Vader" book covering more than 40 years of the Sith lord's history alongside stunning artwork and new interviews from key contributors to his legacy. You can find the preorder link for the book below to reserve your copy now, well ahead of its Nov. 5 release.
In addition to these new products, "March to May the 4th" kicked off with actor Hayden Christensen (aka Anakin Skywalker in the franchise) performing a morning lighting ceremony at the Empire State Building in anticipation of celebratory window displays, photo opps on the 86th Floor Observation Deck and an evening light show at the famed New York City landmark that will be open to the public until Mar. 23, 2024.
