The Big Picture The biggest day of the year is nearly here for Star Wars fans, as the galaxy prepares for the arrival of May 4, better known as Star Wars Day. With the day just over a month away, Disney and Lucasfilm have unveiled a series of new product launches tied in with the day, which they are calling their "March to May the 4th.
A pair of these flagship products, unsurprisingly, had to do with Vader. The first is the Force n' Telling Vader from Hasbro, a poseable toy that features 40 different responses from the Dark Lord of the Sith. The other Vader highlight was the Imaginext Vader Bot from Fisher-Price, a two-foot-tall robot with lights, sounds and an extendable lightsaber.
In addition to this, a series of products were also created for the Disney Store in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: Epsiode I: The Phantom Menace. This includes a collection of Darth Maul and Anakin Skywalker-related memorabilia, including a Darth Maul limited edition legacy lightsaber set. Also created for the Disney Store were a series of artistic offerings from Will Gay.
