Darkish facet, gentle facet, it doesn’t matter. This 12 months’s Hasbro Star Wars unique at San Diego Comedian-Con is certainly the chosen one, and we’re going to take the excessive floor to amass it.

Black Collection is already the gold customary relating to Star Wars motion figures, and seeing this huge second within the franchise dropped at life like that is extremely thrilling.
