May The 4th Be With You: 12 Deals You Can Score On 'Star Wars Day 2022'

Lucas Films, the company founded by the movie mogul, sold the franchise to Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) in 2012.

The day will be marked by fan celebrations, hosting of movie marathons, exchange of greetings and cooking Star War recipes — among other things. Businesses capitalize on the commercial opportunity presented by the day by offering deals and discounts on Star Wars movies, merchandise and collectibles.

Here are a few attractive deals to take advantage of for ardent Star Wars fans.
