It's Star Wars month, and shopDisney is kicking things off with a HUGE Star Wars merchandise drop on May the 4th! Drop times include 12am pst and 8am pst, and will feature everything from Return of the Jedi themed clothing to the iconic Been There Series mugs from Starbucks. Let's take a look!
TIP: Be on the shopDisney website before launch time and use multiple devices to try and get in. This could include your phone, laptop, iPad, etc. I've often found that my iPad gets me in the fastest. Make sure you're signed in to your account for a quicker check-out process!

Please note that although only one collection (the ROTJ collection) is listed to drop at both 12am pst and 8am pst, there could be other items that also drop at 12am pst per the Tweet above.
Fans can pick up the new Cal Kestis DOUBLED-BLADED Legacy Lightsaber from shopDisney at 8am pst as well at Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities at the Disney Parks. This legacy lightsaber is limited to 7,500 pieces and is the second legacy lightsaber to have a blade color-changing feature (Ahsoka's Clone Wars hilts could alternate from blue to green). The colors include: Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, White, and Red. It also comes in a collector's box with the quote, "Trust only in the force." written in Aurebesh.
Cal's new legacy lightsaber will be priced at $400. I figured it would be around this price since the Temple Guard boxed set (also double-bladed) was $375. Be ready to grab this if you want to add it to your collection. These LE legacy lightsabers boxed sets go super quickly!
...and they're back! This is the third year we've been blessed with the Star Wars Been There Series Mugs by Starbucks. This year, the planets include: Jakku, Coruscant, and Mustafar. An excellent selection if I do say so myself. Mustafar has to be my favorite!
Previously, these mugs have been listed for $22.99 each. You can expect to see these available at Disney Parks and on the shopDisney website at 8am pst! These WILL go fast.
This collection was certainly a surprise when it was revealed on Sunday, April 30th. The Endor ponchos look great and are quite different from the ponchos that have been available at Galaxy's Edge. Also revealed this morning, were a pair of fluffy Ewok Minnie Mouse Ears. These look to be the same pair that Ashley Eckstein, owner of Her Universe, released last year on the shopDisney website, and at Disney Parks. Lastly, I discovered this ROTJ Hoodie on Disneyland's Instagram stories. This seems to be part of the collection but it could be an item that's only available at the parks.
I'm curious to see what else will be part of this collection. It drops on the shopDisney website at 12am pst and 8am pst. The wording makes it seem that there are different pieces launching at different times. We shall see!
The Dok Ondar Black Series action figure by Hasbro was one of the very first May the 4th reveals! He can be seen carrying both a Sith and a Jedi Holocron. I love the detail on this figure! You can see a closer look from our friends, Jedi News. Be ready to grab him for $24.99 at 8am pst because he's a shopDisney exclusive!
A new addition to the LEGO Ultimate Collector Series is flying in! The X-Wing consists of 1,949 pieces and will cost $239.99 (according to the LEGO website). If you miss this beauty from the shopDisney drop, you'll also be able to find it elsewhere including the LEGO website and stores!
If you're a fan of the nuiMOs plush, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for this new collection! The listing states that we'll see Star Wars-themed accessories and outfits but ALSO, plush! These will be the first Star Wars nuiMO plush characters. Who could be included? I think Chewbacca would make a great nuiMO! Besides shopDisney, we can also expect to see these pop up at Disney Parks. There was no drop time listed for this collection but I would assume it'll be at 8am pst.
A new Star Wars collection from RSVLTS is coming to the shopDisney website at 8am pst! They are known for their bold and colorful prints, and exceptional quality. I've been eyeing this brand for a while but have yet to pick up anything. May the 4th might just be the day!
UPDATE: Thanks to reader, whiskersomalley, we now know that there is indeed going to be a May the 4th drop on the shopDisney UK website. The photo below was included in an email that she received. See more here.
That's everything I am currently aware of that will be released. I hope that the shopDisney UK website will also be carrying these pieces but there is no Star Wars merchandise currently in sight on their Coming Soon page.
