When Star Wars fans cleverly appropriated May 4 as their day of celebration, they never specified which side of the Force that may be with you. What if it’s been a Dark Side holiday all along? Regardless of your loyalties, Amazon has a great LEGO Star Wars 20% deal for you to celebrate May the Fourth — the LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary Millennium Falcon is just $68, and the LEGO Star Wars Dark Falcon with 6 minifigures is down to just $144.
Everyone of course knows the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo’s legendary smuggling ship that managed to pull himself, Chewie, Luke, and Leia out of harm’s way throughout the saga. For the uninitiated, the Dark Falcon is the evil version from the bizarro-world animated Disney+ special LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, where Jedi and Sith changed places. Both are on sale right now at Amazon for 20% below their regular price.

The One You Know
The LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary Millennium Falcon is a 921-piece build-and-display model that marks a quarter century of the LEGO and Star Wars partnership. This is the Falcon as you know it: Han Solo’s battered Corellian freighter from A New Hope, rendered in the classic grey and off-white brick palette. The finished model sits at a dynamic angle on its display stand, giving the impression it’s mid-maneuver rather than parked on a shelf.
At just over five inches tall, nine and a half inches long, and seven and a half inches wide, it’s a reasonably compact display piece — detailed enough to look good on a desk or bookshelf without dominating the room. It’s marketed as an adult set for builders ages 18 and up, but anyone comfortable with a moderately complex LEGO build will be fine with it.
The One That’s All Mixed Up
The Dark Falcon comes from the 2024 animated hit LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, which presents the Star Wars universe with heroes and villains swapped — and the set commits fully to the bit. The ship itself is built from black bricks with red accent pieces, and it’s considerably bigger than the Anniversary Falcon: five inches tall, 17 inches long, and 12.5 inches wide, assembled from 1,579 pieces.
The six included minifigures are the hook: Darth Jar Jar, Bounty Hunter C-3PO, Darth Dev, Darth Rey, Beach Luke, and Jedi Vader, none of which are available except as part of this set. It’s the kind of set that rewards Star Wars fans who have been around long enough to appreciate exactly how absurd that roster is.
Star Wars Day comes but once a year, and this May the Fourth Amazon’s offering up deals for your inner hero and your dark side.
