Xbox Series S + Star Wars Jedi: Survivor — save $35
Read Mashable’s full review of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
The latest Star Wars video game features a surprisingly meaty storyline and “a mini-open-world with a staggering amount of stuff to do,” said Mashable tech and games reporter Alex Perry, who called it a “worthy” successor to 2019’s fantastic Jedi: Fallen Order. It’ll look great on a new console, and you’ll save $35 when by bundling it with the disc-drive-free Xbox Series S ($299.99) through the Microsoft Store(opens in a new tab) or Amazon(opens in a new tab). You can opt for the standard version or the Xbox Series S – Gilded Hunter Bundle(opens in a new tab), which includes downloadable add-on content for Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys.
May the 4th releases
LEGO X-Wing Starfighter
This brick-ified version of the iconic Rebel Alliance spacecraft is the newest entry in LEGO’s Ultimate Collector Series(opens in a new tab), and the design’s third iteration since 2000. It’s even bigger and more complex this time around, with 1,949 total pieces, adjustable wings, a display plaque, and a new Luke Skywalker figurine decked out in an orange pilot suit. It will likely sell out fast, so move at hyperspeed if you want it. (LEGO’s Star Wars Day freebie and double VIP points offers will both apply to your purchase, FYI.)
The updated X-Wing Starfighter joins several other new LEGO Star Wars releases from May 1, including:
Limited-edition Star Wars stands for Amazon Echo Dots
Compatible with Amazon’s fourth and fifth-generation Amazon Echo Dot smart speakers, this new trio of stands shaped like iconic Star Wars characters’ helmets have eyes that light up when you call out Alexa’s name. (There’s a Darth Vader one, a Stormtrooper one, and a Mandalorian one.) You can buy them individually(opens in a new tab) for $39.99 apiece or bundle one(opens in a new tab) with the fifth-gen Echo Dot for $68.98, which works out to a $20 savings.
The Mandalorian candles from Homesick
Homesick added two new candles inspired by the first two seasons of The Mandalorian to its Star Wars “scent saga” for May the 4th, in case you’ve ever wondered what Din Djarin’s Razor Crest maybe, possibly smelled like inside. The Bounty(opens in a new tab) features notes of ash, smoke, and pine needles, while The Rescue(opens in a new tab) has hints of sea moss, warm guaiac wood, and sheer musk. Both are priced at $44 and come in the fragrance brand’s first-ever gradient jars, which were inspired by the colorful planets in the Disney+ series.
