It's a great week for Star Wars enthusiasts. Not only is the latest season of the Andor TV series available on Disney+, but it also marks the 20th anniversary of Episode 3's theatrical release. More importantly, Star Wars Day here this Sunday (May 4). The special commemorative day pays homage to the legendary franchise set in a galaxy far, far away.
Typically, on the day, fans will use the greeting 'May the Force be with you' (from the original 1977 movie). In celebration of the event, LEGO has launched a special May 4th event on its website, with a collection of popular sets and member-only offers. For fans seeking a budget-friendly way to celebrate, there's a way to get a LEGO Star Wars 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack Set, from £18 to £2.78.
This significant discount can be achieved by using a savvy shopping tip from TopCashback. By creating a new TopCashback account via this link, consumers can receive £15 cashback on selected purchases over £15. The LEGO Star Wars 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack Set is included in the offer, even at its sale price, meaning the effective cost will be £2.74 once the cashback is returned to the account. This set, sold on Argos and depicting the 501st battalion featured in the Clone Wars TV series, would make a thoughtful gift for a fan.
It includes four minifigures and a single laser canon for the diorama.

One customer said: "I bought this as a birthday gift and it went down really well, a great little set," which exemplifies the positive experiences users are having.
Another customer added: "I bought this last November for my grandson's birthday. He is LEGO mad and built it in no time. Instructions are easy to follow. He has so many sets and puts them together to build his own creations." Another customer noted: "Good enough LEGO set but not as good value for money as some others."
A third wrote: "This LEGO set is wonderful for many reasons: good variety of minifigures and accessories, a fun wee build that looks clean, and it makes a great gift because even if someone already has it, the more the merrier!". A fourth added: "I brought this for my son, he seems to like it, so it's not too bad, just the price could have been a bit cheaper."

First official Jaws documentary to examine film's impact 50 years on Jaws At 50: The Definitive Inside Story will feature interviews with director Steven Spielberg, Ian Shaw, the son of Robert Shaw – who played professional shark hunter Quint A new documentary is to look at the making of and impact of Jaws The first authorised Jaws documentary is to examine the film's impact on the perception of sharks to celebrate the film's 50th anniversary. Jaws At 50: The Definitive Inside Story will feature interviews with director Steven Spielberg, Ian Shaw, the son of Robert Shaw – who played professional shark hunter Quint, and Lorraine Gary who played Ellen Brody, along with other cast members, when it airs on National Geographic and Disney+. The 90-minute documentary will also feature home videos and rare outtakes from Spielberg and writer Peter Benchley's personal archives, and a behind the scenes look at the making of the movie, including its malfunctioning animatronic shark and Spielberg's fears the film would end his career. The feature will also look at the wave of shark fear from the public following the movie's release, and will look at the novel which started the story through interviews with Benchley's wife, ocean policy advocate Wendy Benchley and their children. Famous fans including JJ Abrams, Emily Blunt, James Cameron, Cameron Crowe, George Lucas, Steven Soderbergh, Guillermo del Toro and Robert Zemeckis will also speak about the film along with marine experts. Jaws At 50: The Definitive Inside Story will be directed by Laurent Bouzereau, and will be produced by Spielberg's Amblin Documentaries and Nedland Films. The documentary frames Jaws, released in 1975, as the "first summer blockbuster", with the movie being the highest-grossing picture of all time until the release of Star Wars two years later. Jaws tells the story of a man-eating shark, named Bruce by the film's crew, that attacks beachgoers at a resort town on Amity Island, and the attempts of police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and professional shark hunter Quint (Shaw) to hunt it down. Article continues below The film, based on the 1974 novel by Benchley, was followed by three sequels, and has inspired theme park rides at the Universal Studios theme parks as well as video games. The documentary will premiere on July 11 at 8pm on National Geographic and will stream the same day on Disney+.

EXCLUSIVE I have watched every Star Wars film and this is my ultimate ranking from best to worst: CERI THOMAS
A long time ago in a galaxy far away… you were lucky if you got a new Star Wars trilogy once every couple of decades. Heck, the first 30 years of the franchise's existence saw just six films and a small smattering of mediocre TV shows spring from the mind of George Lucas. But since Disney bought the rights to Star Wars in 2012, things have gone into hyperdrive. A new trilogy of movies was just the start of things. Soon the House of the Mouse brought us standalone prequel flicks like Rogue One and Solo too. And then the avalanche of TV content really got going as The Mandalorian, Andor, The Book Of Boba Fett, Rebels, The Bad Batch, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka and more filled our download screens with more Jedi, droids, wookiees and Sith than you can shake a lightsaber at.

Star Wars actor Ben Mendelsohn cuts a suave figure in stylish monochrome look at exclusive event in Los Angeles
Ben Mendelsohn looked effortlessly stylish as he stepped out for the exclusive An Evening With Andor event in Los Angeles on Friday to promote his new Disney+ show. The Rogue One actor, 56, rocked a cool monochrome ensemble featuring a light blue polo shirt layered under a sleek black jacket, paired with matching tailored trousers. He completed the look with crisp white sneakers, adding a relaxed yet refined touch to the red carpet appearance. The Emmy-Award winning star exuded quiet confidence as he posed for photos, flashing his trademark smirk and keeping his hands casually tucked into his pockets. The low-key but chic look was a far cry from the darker characters he's become known for on screen - with Mendelsohn having played a string of villains throughout his impressive Hollywood career. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the He is one of Australia's most celebrated actors with starring roles in The Dark Knight Rises, Rogue One and Animal Kingdom. Back in 2018, the critically acclaimed actor revealed he was once forced to work low-paying jobs to pay the bills. He washed dishes at a restaurant in Sydney's Bondi and was also employed at a Brumby's Bakery during a career slump, according to the Herald Sun. Reflecting on his incredible reversal of fortune since then, Ben said: 'It's been extraordinary. But that's what has been very sweet about it - you don't expect that in this business.' He added: 'I still drive around and look back on a lot of years where things were leaner. I am still happily spun out by it.' The Melbourne-born actor has a history of playing villains in films, but recently said he doesn't overthink the roles he plays. In an interview with The Project, he said his penchant for playing bad guys has turned out 'all right' for him so far. However, he said he's 'got a couple more feathers' in his cap and would like to play more diverse characters in the future. He is currently reprising his role as Orson Krennic from the 2016 movie Rogue One in the Disney+ spinoff Andor. The show has been critically praised, with viewers praising its second season 'the best TV show they've seen this year'. Andor follows Cassian Andor, a character who first appeared in the 2016 movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The series serves as a prequel to the film in the early days after the Galactic Republic became the Empire. Among some of the very first to react to season two of Andor was critic Jordan King, who put it in his 'top five' shows. He said: 'It is the best TV you will see this year, and cements the show's place in my all-time Top 5. 'It's mature, it's knotty, it's uncompromising, and it's emotional in ways you won't see coming. And *that* arc? Astonishing.' The Observer echoed Jordan and wrote: 'The second season, somehow, eclipses [the first] in an impressive fashion, building a masterful narrative arc that is undeniable in its prescience to the rising fascism around the world.'
