Rogue One prequel to get own Force Friday event September 2016!
It looks like the next Star Wars movie Rogue One, will be getting it’s own Froce Friday event: September 30th, 2016, according to a report from Starwarsunderworld.com!
I would say this is very exciting, since the last Force Friday event for The Force Awakens was so well received!
Here’s a photo of a new Force Friday logo for Rogue One:
Also there was another recent report from Theforce.net that among a list of names for new Black Series action figures on Rebelscum.com, there was a name for an exclusive unnamed figure. Guess we will have to wait for Force Friday to figure it out.

New interactive, remote control BB-8 toy debuts at New York Toy Fair
Sphero’s BB-8 toy will be getting company soon—a toy company called Spin Master has unveiled a new version of BB-8 but much bigger! This new toy costs $180 (expensive!) but it won’t be hitting toy selves yet until this Fall 2016.
According to Spin Master:
This BB-8 will be much closer to life size than previous versions, standing at 19-inches tall. It includes a remote control (comparble to a Nintendo Wiimote) with a joystick to control it, but the remote is not absolutely necessary thanks to the fact this BB-8 is voice activated. BB-8 will respond when he hears his name, comes when he’s called and will even follow you when commanded to do so. It will also include electronic lights and sounds to match its on-screen counterpart.
Here’s some photos of this new BB-8 toy from NY Toy Fair (credit: Rebelscum.com)
