It's May the Fourth, which means it's time for Star Wars fans to celebrate their favorite small independent film series. "Star Wars Day," as it's known, may only exist on May 4 because of a cheeky pun—"May the Fourth be with you," for those who've never put two and two together—but for a manufactured holiday it has gained a surprising amount of traction. Special screenings and costume-heavy celebrations are now held annually around the world to celebrate.

Perhaps most of all, May 4 has become a time for retailers to discount and sell lots of Star Wars-themed products. Now, this still isn't a formal holiday, so there's not a truckload of genuine deals out there, and you'll have to be a pretty hardcore Star Wars fan to really get the most out of all of this. But if you're the kind of person who has strong feelings about Alden Ehrenreich or Figrin D'an and The Modal Nodes, there are at least a handful of noteworthy discounts on games, gadgets, and assorted knick-knacks going on today.

We've listed a few for your convenience below. And if you're not a fan of this all-encompassing media behemoth, well, have a happy Friday.
