How could you leave out Rey?
!, Annie Rosewrote.She belongs inStar WarsMonopoly and all the otherStar Warsgames!
Without her, there is noForce Awakens!
Realizing that such a plea couldnt go ignored for too long, Hasbro responded via itsTwitter feed.
To a certain degree, this makes sense.
We saw in December last year how jealously Disney-Lucasfilm was trying to guard theStar Warssequels secrets.
Somehow, Hasbro had managed to release the figures (which came with a blue Lightsaber) too early.
On the other hand, leaving Rey out ofStar WarsMonopoly isnt Hasbros only curious oversight.
That Phasma (the stern Stormtrooper Captain Gwendolyn Christie) wasnt included seems like a missed opportunity.
Missing out Rey, unquestionably the star ofThe Force Awakens,seems utterly bizarre.
If Hasbros original aim was indeed to avoid spoilers, there are a couple of things worth considering here.
More Rey, more Black Widow, and more Gamora c’mon.
