Yesterday, I reported on Zen Studios knocking down Star Wars Pinball‘s pricetag for Star Wars Day, but today comes an even bigger deal: this weekend only, Steam has a sale on all their Star Wars video games for 66% off each (roughly $3.40 a pop), or you can buy the entire collection for 50% (which is $49.99 instead of $99.99). Even if you don’t own a PC/laptop for gaming, might as well pick them up for Toydarian-like cheap prices (and the games will largely run on any PC/laptop released in the past decade anyways).

Stay thrifty my friends and enjoy May the 4th Be With You by playing your favorite games, from the original Knights of the Old Republic, to Republic Commando, and Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.

Here’s a fun little novelty book: Star Wars: Lightsaber Thumb Wrestling! Link

This Star Wars game in a book provides hours of fun for thumb-wrestling masters or their apprentices. Opponents Velcro on the lightsabers included (one blue, one red); open the book to one of seven durable “game board” pages depicting classic Star Wars battles; stick their thumbs through the holes; and use the Force (of thumb and imagination) to wrestle to victory!

With a current release date of August 20, 2013, Star Wars fans looking to settle scores with their thumbs can do so in style! Is your thumb a servant of the light or master of the dark side? Either way, you can now showcase your mastery of the Force as you try to hand your enemy a defeat! (Yes, I enjoyed writing this)

USA Today has an exclusive clip of some of the upcoming bonus content from The Clone Wars! Link

There’s also a great interview with Dave Filoni on what’s to come! Click on the link above to check it all out! And be sure to share your wants and opinions regarding The Clone Wars bonus content in our forums!

While the future of Clone Wars is a bit hazy, it’s less so for Filoni: He will be continuing on at Lucasfilm “for the foreseeable future” with responsibilities primarily in the animation realm, he says. Filoni is also respected outside of the company because of his respect for the stories he loved as a child raised on the original trilogy.

“I’m able to give a lot back to fans because I’m a big fan myself and I know how important it is to feel that the people behind these things really care about it, and I do. The fans have realized that about me,” Filoni says.

Along with the upcoming Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studious in Orlando, FL, Disney is planning a May 4th celebration! Link

this “Limited Time Magic” celebration features special Star Wars entertainment, characters, commemorative merchandise, a Star Wars dance party and a Star Wars-themed fireworks show to cap off the day.

Sounds like a blast! Do you plan to attend, or have other Star Wars plans for this special day? If so, share your plans with us over at our forums!
