For better or worse (your mileage may vary), Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace exists, and this month, the movie celebrates its 25th anniversary.
It comes just in time for Star Wars Day, too! In addition to all of the new launches, deals, and merch made available for May the Fourth, new LEGO sets, Funko Pop! figures, and more were designed specifically with the anniversary in mind.
While Star Wars Day may be over tomorrow, it’s still The Phantom Menace‘s birthday month all throughout May!
Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite new LEGO sets, Funko Pop!s, Loungefly merch, and more celebrating the often maligned start of the Star Wars prequels.
