There's no better day to add to your Star Wars collection than May the 4th, and luckily for you, there's a bounty of fantastic themed items out there to purchase with your hard earned cash.
The process is even easier when you know where to look, so this list includes a variety of things you'll want to purchase for that oh so fancy Star Wars room. From action figures and statues to replicas and backpacks, there's plenty to peruse. Hit the next slide for a few Star Wars items that are more than worth your time and money.
Granted, you can probably buy all of these and not have as unique a collection as Star Wars actor John Boyega. Boyega stopped by the Graham Norton Show where he gave a tour of his house. All that Star Wars money went to some very unique items, including two Lion sculptures that adorn his bed, a saxophone lamp, a replica of a spartan helmet, and a medieval soldier toilet paper dispenser. While he defended the Lions, saying that "I feel like my spirit animal is a lion", he couldn't defend the saxophone lamp, saying There's no reason for that, man. That was glorified nonsense, I can't lie to you."
Star Wars: The Last Jedi, from writer/director Rian Johnson, is in post-production now for a December 15, 2017, release. The film follows-up and continues the story of the next generation of the saga as Rey, Poe, Finn, and Kylo Ren find their place in the galaxy and follow the legacy of Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Han Solo. Daisy Ridley returns to star as Rey, with other returning stars John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Peter Mayhew, Andy Serkis, Anthony Daniels, Lupita Nyong'o Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa. Benicio Del Toro and Laura Dern join the cast in as-yet-unrevealed roles.
