May the Fourth Be With You.

Yes, May 4th is the unofficial holiday celebrating all things Star Wars. Expect to see people wearing Star Wars swag or posting about which Star Wars movie is their favorite.

Of course, fandoms tend to overlap, don't they? Out of curiosity, I wanted to know if there were any crossovers with, for example, the University of Michigan and Star Wars. And, as it turns out, there are.

Here are 5 great gifts for the Star Wars/University of Michigan fans in your life:


1. For the Basketball Fan

In the classic Michael Jordan pose, here's a basketball-playing Storm Trooper pin. The Etsy store, BlastyTrooper, has the same pin for football, baseball, and volleyball, too. And, it's attached to a good cause. According to the description, all proceeds go to the  American Cancer Society for the Real Men Wear Pink of Ann Arbor. You can find the same design as a sticker here.

2. A Decal
