Holonet Blast #124

Hello there again friends, and welcome to our weekly round up of Star Wars news. Coming off all the rad releases of Triple Force Friday and the always exciting announcements from New York Comic Con, this week’s selection of happenings from the galaxy far, far away is a little lean, but I’m going to tell you anyway.

This week’s news is all about toys and games, and as we head into the holiday season, I’m sure this is only the beginning.

First up, TOYS! This week, StarWars.com’s Dan Brooks had a chat with designers from Hasbro about the newest Star Wars offerings from the iconic toymaker. From elegantly detailed Black Series figures from The Rise of Skywalker,  to colorful celebrations of the Galaxy of Adventures stories, to an item called a Scream Saber (yes, it’s real, and yes, I want one) the toy landscape is lush and delightful. Look for these and more from Hasbro wherever toys are sold.

And in game news: General Anakin Skywalker has entered the realm of mobile gaming. Players of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes can now access General Skywalker by playing through the event Clash at Kamino. Anakin is touted to be the most powerful character available to date, and should be a boon to players looking to up their game. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is available for Android and iPhone devices.

And that’s it for this week. As always, send Star Wars news tips to Tosche Station, and send your favorite home-made lightsaber noises to @MandaTheGinger. MTFBWY!
