Royal Selangor honours Star Wars this May with multiple events
To devoted fans of the Star Wars franchise, the date of May 4 is an important one. It is an informal day of celebration originating from punning the date with the popular catchphrase "May the Force be with you", resulting in the variant phrase "May the Fourth be with you".
To celebrate, Royal Selangor has released a new line of collectible figurines featuring characters from the Disney+ series, The Mandalorian, further expanding the pewter maker's Star Wars collection. The Limited Edition Mandalorian figurines, which is also available in Gilt, are respectively limited to 1,500 and 300 pieces worldwide, and will be available online and in stores from May 4.
