A NEW Star Wars merch drop just landed, and these May the 4th collections might be the BEST yet!
Just when you thought your galactic shopping list was complete, Disney hit us with MORE. And not just filler — we’re talking retro racing vibes, collectible-worthy jerseys, and deep-cut nostalgia that’s about to take over both the Disney Store and the parks. If you’ve already scoped out the initial May the 4th collection, these latest updates from mid-to-late April might actually be the ones that sell out first.
Disney isn’t doing just one merch release this year; they’ve been rolling out weekly “Force Friday” collections leading up to May the 4th, each themed to a different corner of the galaxy.
And if you blinked, you may have missed two of the most interesting ones:
- April 17: Star Wars Jerseys Collection
- April 24: Podracing Collection
If you’re planning a park outfit for May the 4th (or honestly, just want to look like the coolest person in Galaxy’s Edge), this collection is IT.
The Star Wars jersey collection leans heavily into that sporty, oversized, theme-park-ready look — perfect for warm Florida days and late-night Batuu adventures.
Disney teased that these jerseys will let you rep both the light side and the dark side, meaning we’re likely seeing designs inspired by different eras and allegiances across the saga.
Jerseys have become one of the most popular park apparel trends. They’re easy to style, collectible, and often limited-run drops. Expect these to be everywhere at Walt Disney World and Disneyland on May 4.
The other collection dives straight into Star Wars: The Phantom Menace nostalgia — specifically, Anakin Skywalker’s iconic podrace. And Disney didn’t hold back.
Boonta Eve Classic Retro Moto Shirt features vintage-style artwork inspired by the Mos Espa race.
X-Wing Starfighter Retro Moto Pullover. Embroidered details and bold front/back graphics.
This collection blends retro racing aesthetics with Star Wars storytelling, giving major “vintage NASCAR meets Tatooine” energy. Fans are paying attention because the prequel-era merch has been having a major comeback, podracing is one of the most visually iconic (and underused) themes, and the retro styling makes these pieces feel more like streetwear than souvenirs.
If you’re hoping to grab these in the parks, prepare like you would for a ride opening day. Disney is already planning virtual queues for May the 4th merchandise events at places like Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs.
Between the wearable jersey trend and the unexpected podracing nostalgia, these new collections might end up being the real stars of May the 4th 2026.
If you’re building outfits, collecting limited merch, or just trying to bring a little more Batuu into your everyday wardrobe — these are the pieces to watch.
