Hasbro's "get out of jail free" card is a Rey game piece
Hasbro’s “get out of jail free” card is a Rey game piece According to FoxNews.com, eight year old Star Wars fan Carrie Goldman, managed to force toy behemoth Hasbro into adding a Rey game piece to their Force Awakens Monopoly game. Wait, you’re asking: “there wasn’t a Rey game piece in the game? What’s up with that!” Turns out Hasbro started selling their new Monopoly games in September, but didn’t include a Rey piece. And here’s the lame excuse: “. . . it did not include Rey in the game to avoid revealing a key plot line.” How lame! But they know they’ve been schooled by Carrie, that eight year old fan. Thanks to her letter (and plenty of other complaints from men and women), Hasbro has agreed to provide a Rey game piece to anyone who bought the earlier games. And they’ll be making all future games with Rey. Good job, Carrie! Here’s a photo of the Force Awakens Monopoly...
Identity of First Order Riot Control Stormtrooper revealed
Identity of First Order Riot Control Stormtrooper revealed Starwars.com has revealed the identity of the First Order Riot Control Stormtrooper that Finn fought against at Maz’s castle. Here’s a quick look at that scene to remind you: According to the site: His name is FN-2199. But his friends call him “Nines.” As detailed in Greg Rucka’s excellent book Before the Awakening, Nines trained and served on a squad with Finn (then FN-2187) in the First Order. That explains why he seems just a little extra angry upon seeing Finn during the attack on Maz’s Castle. You can see FN-2199 in the image below by Phil Noto from Before the Awakening — he’s the trooper seated in the background with red hair. Who’d have thought? There’s a reason that Nines gets to use an awesome weapon (which is called a Z6 baton). He’s riot control, and part of an elite squad that enforces order or squashes uprisings. While their weapons are non-lethal in theory, the Z6 can definitely cause harm or kill an opponent when used with brute force. Look, if a lightsaber can’t cut it, you know it ain’t good news. You’ve heard his work before. Kind of! FN-2199’s voice (including, of course, “Traitor!”) was provided by David Acord, a Skywalker Sound sound editor. Acord’s production credits include Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Pretty good training for a stormtrooper. (Inside the armor is Liang Yang, a veteran stunt performer. Without his baton spinning, you wouldn’t be reading this.) So there you have it — the stormtrooper behind the meme. Let’s hope we haven’t seen the last of Nines. Or...
