It’s Star Wars Day! What should we expect in terms of reveals and preorders? Look no further than last year as your rough guideline as to the types and quantities of products announced/revealed and available for preorder the following day on May 5th.

There may be a couple retailer exclusives as well that may or may not throw off that balance.
