Happy May the 4th! In celebration of today’s Star Wars holiday, did you know for the first time ever in LEGO Star Wars minifigure history Darth Vader now has a life support collar and removable mask/helmet? To reflect the moment in Episode VI: Return of the Jedi when Luke unmasks his father- “Just for once….let me…look on you with my own eyes” says Darth Vader. (more....)

This iconic scene in the movie is in our new LEGO Star Wars Death Star™ Final Duel set available this June! You may already know this, but we did some cool shots to show him off before the set comes out. I included one of the photos below, along with a screen shot I took of the scene to give you an idea. Happy to send you others, as well as the actual construction set!

Are you pulling together any roundups around May the 4th today, and/or interested in sharing this fun fact with your readers as you get ready for the upcoming film later this year?

May the 4th be with you.
