It's almost upon us - Star Wars Day - the applied name for May the 4th from its association with sounding like "May the force be with you." Now all things Star Wars are celebrated on this day, from special events to film showings to new merchandise added to the ever-growing Star Wars-related product catalog. We've had our Jawa's trawl the galaxy for Star Wars-themed tech that can turn your desktop PC into a shrine for George Lucas' space opera.
Do take into consideration that not all of these Star Wars branded products are deals and that some of them even cost more than the default version due to the Star Wars branding. But if you worship Star Wars and must have every piece of merchandise under the sun, this list is for you.
Star Wars Software
If you want to live the life of a Jedi, then the closest you are most likely going to get is through playing a videogame such as EA/Respawn's Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. This game lets you continue the adventures of Fallen Order's Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he continues to adventure about the galaxy.
Star Wars Storage
A couple of Mandalorian-inspired storage options are available, as Seagate decorates some of its products with a Mandalorian Beskar Steel look. The enclosure of the HDD and heatsink of the SSD have a Beskar decoration that is based on season one of the Disney Star Wars series The Mandalorian. Also available is the Firecuda SSD with a special edition lightsaber heatsink that uses RGB to give your saber the correct lightsaber colors.
Star Wars Peripherals
There are loads of Star Wars-themed peripherals out in the wild that have been out for many years. Razer has been producing everything from mice, keyboards, headsets, and mouse pads for years, but they are normally limited editions and can sometimes be hard to get ahold of. Geeknet from GameStop also have a range of Star Wars products to satisfy fans and gamers alike.
Happy May the 4th, 2023, and here's hoping the Force makes Star Wars Day even better than last year. If you spot any other interesting Star Wars-themed hardware and products, let us know in the comments so that we can all take a look.
