7 Star Wars PC Upgrades for May the 4th 2026

Key Takeaways

• Star Wars Jedi Survivor and Star Wars Outlaws are the flagship games for this year's May the 4th celebration
• Themed peripherals include Boba Fett keyboards and Death Star speakers, though many limited editions have sold out
• 3D printers let you create custom Star Wars figures and accessories when official merch doesn't have what you want

May the 4th has arrived, and with it comes the annual excuse for Star Wars fans to upgrade their gaming setups with themed gear. The 2026 edition brings games, peripherals, collectibles, and even 3D printer deals for those who want to create their own merchandise.

Not everything here is discounted. Some items are full price. But if you're looking to turn your desk into a shrine to the galaxy far, far away, these are the options worth knowing about.

Star Wars Games Worth Playing

Two titles stand out from recent years. Star Wars Jedi Survivor is Cal Kestis' second outing, continuing his rebellion against the Sith. The game expanded on its predecessor with larger environments and more combat options.

Star Wars Outlaws takes a different approach. Ubisoft's open-world game follows scoundrel Kay Vess as she tries to escape a crime syndicate. It's less about lightsabers and more about the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars universe.

Themed Peripherals Still Available

The bad news: many limited-edition Star Wars peripherals from previous years have sold out. The good news: a few options remain.

Boba Fett-themed keyboards are still available, along with Death Star-inspired speakers. One standout is a wireless keyboard featuring Darth Vader cast in blood red against a black background. It uses 2.4GHz wireless connectivity and runs on two AAA batteries.

These peripherals won't improve your gaming performance. But they will make your desk look like it belongs on a Star Destroyer.

Collectibles for Your Desk

Star Wars Lego sets remain a staple of May the 4th shopping. This year features a 25th anniversary collectible edition that comes with a built-in stand for desk display. It's the kind of purchase that feels mandatory when you're already browsing Star Wars deals.

Beyond Lego, themed shoes and other merchandise round out the collectibles category. The selection ranges from practical to purely decorative.

Print Your Own Star Wars Gear

Can't find the specific piece of merchandise you want? 3D printers offer a solution. You can print figures, part upgrades, and custom accessories with Star Wars themes.

The Bambu Lab P1S is one option for those ready to invest in a printer. You can create anything from TIE fighters to custom display stands. It's a higher upfront cost, but you get unlimited creative freedom.

What's Worth Buying

If you're selective about spending, focus on the games. Jedi Survivor and Outlaws deliver dozens of hours of entertainment. The peripherals are fun but nonessential. The Lego sets hold their value if you keep them boxed, but that defeats the purpose of having them on your desk.

For the truly committed, a 3D printer opens up long-term possibilities beyond just Star Wars merchandise. It's the gift that keeps printing.
