Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

Transparency about how we fund this site

How We Make Money

May The 4th Be With You is an independently operated fan site. We are not funded by Lucasfilm, Disney, or any major corporation. To cover the costs of hosting, development, and the time we invest in creating content, we rely on advertising revenue and affiliate partnerships.

Advertising

We display advertisements on our Site through Google AdSense. These ads are served by Google and its advertising partners. The ads you see may be personalized based on your browsing history and interests, or they may be non-personalized depending on your consent preferences.

We do not have direct control over which specific ads appear on our pages. If you ever see an ad that seems inappropriate or misleading, please contact us and we will report it.

Advertising never influences our editorial content. Our opinions, reviews, and analysis are entirely our own.

Some articles on this site contain affiliate links to products on Amazon and other retailers. When you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Here’s what you should know about our affiliate links:

  • We only link to products we genuinely think Star Wars fans would enjoy. We don’t recommend products solely because they pay a higher commission.
  • Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial opinions. If we review or mention a product, our take is honest regardless of whether we earn a commission.
  • You always pay the same price. Clicking an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay for any product.
  • Affiliate links are disclosed. Articles containing affiliate links include a disclosure notice near the top of the page.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial team makes all content decisions independently. Advertisers and affiliate partners have zero input into what we write, which topics we cover, or what opinions we express. If a product or decision by Disney/Lucasfilm deserves criticism, we will say so regardless of any commercial relationship.

Questions?

If you have any questions about our advertising, affiliate partnerships, or editorial policies, please visit our contact page. We believe in full transparency and are happy to explain how any aspect of our site works.
