Microsoft celebrates Star Wars Day with freebies and discounts on games, music and more

Microsoft has a number of freebies and discounts to help celebrate Star Wars Day today (May 4, otherwise known as "May the Fourth be with you"). They include price cuts on in-app purchases for Windows Phone and Windows 8.1 games, along with a sale of the film's soundtrack.
