Star Wars Day is almost upon us. Since it was the fans who created this special day (with the pun "May the Force be with you") that we look forward to every year, it feels great to be a part of the huge community. Lucasfilm and its owner, Disney, approved the anniversary and now there are both official and unofficial celebrations to honor this beloved franchise.

With this special day fast approaching, now is the time to start planning your own celebration. On Star Wars Day, there are plenty of shopping, movie, and TV show deals for you to participate in. Even if you're not a big Star Wars fan, or even if you're not a fan at all, this guide might just draw you over to the dark side.

Some fans also consider May 5 and 6 to be Star Wars days because of the "fifth man's revenge/seventh man's revenge" pun. For those of you who do, let's delve into the movies and deals related to the iconic Sith Lords and villains we love so much.
