From a galaxy not so far away, Star Wars fans from across the universe are celebrating Star Wars Day today and proclaiming to one and all May The 4th Be With You. In honor of this very special day, we are excited to present an all-new trailer from the up and coming Solo: A Star Wars Movie, as well as a special way that you can give back by donating to UNICEF with through the #RoarForChange Challenge, a once in a lifetime ride in a LEGO Pedicab and of course no Star Wars Day, is complete without discounts on all your Star Wars favorites.

SOLO: A Star Wars Movie

In honor of Star Wars Day on Friday, May 4th (Be With You) the Force is strong with all these intergalactic new activity sheets, posters and all new trailer as we make the leap to hyperspace all leading up to the much anticipated Solo: A Star Wars Story, which blasts into theaters Memorial Day Weekend, May 25.

Solo: A Star Wars Movie

The saga tells the tale of a young Han Solo, Lando and everyone’s favorite Wookie, Chewbacca as we find out more about this loveable rogue. We first met Solo Star when he and his co-pilot Chewbacca accepted a charter request to transport Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO,and R2-D2 from Tatooine to Alderaan on their ship, the Millennium Falcon. Han owed crime lord Jabba the Hutt a great deal of money and had a price on his head.

Bounty hunter Greedo tries to deliver Solo to Jabba, dead or alive, but after a failed attempt to extort the money as a bribe for letting him go, Han managed to shoot and kill Greedo. But while we all know how it ends, what we didn’t know was how it began-until now. On May 25 you’re invited to step on board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars Story, the all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy.

Solo: A Star Wars Movie

Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo befriends his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and meets the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes. Directed by the one and only Ron Howard, the film stars Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Paul Bettany, Solo: A Star Wars Story blasts off into theaters across the galaxy May 25.

May The 4th Be With You! Check Out These Great Happenings In A Galaxy Not So Far Away:

#RoarForChange

This Star Wars Day, you can be a Force for good while unleashing your best Wookiee roar! Lucasfilm and Star Wars: Force for Change today announced Roar For Change, a global challenge in support of UNICEF that invites fans to share their own version of Chewbacca’s fearsome roar on social media.

Simply share your best Chewbacca impersonation, try donning a Hasbro Electronic Chewbacca mask, or create a Dubsmash using one of Chewbacca’s best-known roars from the Star Wars saga, available now on the app homepage. As this campaign kick-off video notes, Chewbacca may be a bit of a diva on set according to his Solo: A Star Wars Story co-stars and director Ron Howard, but beneath the furry façade and gruff carpet-like exterior, he has a heart of gold.

The fun continues tonight when fans attending Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite gather for an epic celebration worthy of Kashyyyk for park-wide Wookiee roars. On May the 4th, guests at the Disney Store in San Francisco can meet Chewbacca in the fur and roar alongside the legend himself.
