Lego is joining forces this year with Star Wars to launch their new Luke Skywalker Landspeeder set on 4 May.

The model is a recreation of the X-34 Landspeeder used by the famous Jedi in the original films, and is made up of 1,890-pieces of brick.

The toy, which costs £174.99, comes with mini Luke Skywalker and C-3PO figures too.

"We've ensured no detail has been forgotten and have even included some of the scratches. It is such an iconic vehicle in the Star Wars saga," explains Lego set designer César Carvalhosa Soares on the Star Wars blog.

The Headspace app has come together with Lucasfilm, the makers of Star Wars, on new mindfulness content.

Mindfulness is a practice that has been around for thousands of years and helps people relax and train their attention.

These include animated breathing exercises featuring well-known characters Yoda, R2-D2, BB-8, and Chewbacca.

The app will also allow listeners to take their imaginations to memorable places in the Star Wars galaxy to help them sleep - the X-wing Voyage, Tatooine Sunset, and Islands of Ahch-To.
