The legacy of Star Wars continues…
Darkness rises…and light to meet it. Star Wars: The Last Jedi has arrived!
In The Force Awakens, we were introduced to several new and captivating characters — BB-8, Rey, Kylo Ren, Finn, Poe Dameron, General Hux, Unkar Plutt, and the adorable Maz Kanata. Many of them feel like old friends now and they have a soft spot in our hearts. There are also a few new characters in The Last Jedi which include Vice Admiral Holdo, Rose Tico, and her sister Paige, a code hacker named DJ, and cute little critters called Porgs. I can’t wait to meet them on the screen, but more importantly, welcome them into my home with Hasbro’s new Star Wars toy line.

Force Link Resistance Ski Speeder & Captain Poe Figure
The Rebel Alliance depends on their transports to get them out of danger quickly so they must be super fast, maneuverable, reliable, and loaded with weapons. The Resistance Ski Speeder is a low-altitude, high powered assault vehicle that’s manned by one pilot, Captain Poe Dameron. Because it’s an older design predating those of the Rebel Alliance, it requires a skilled pilot like Poe to fly it.
This speeder is 17 inches wide and it uses a stabilizer strut to keep it in balance while racing through alien terrain. The kit includes a vehicle, figure, accessory, projectile, and instructions.
The Resistance Ski Speeder has a lot of nice detail on the body, and it’s even weathered in various spots to make it look like it’s seen many battles. The missiles fire when you press the trigger and the landing gear moves up and down. The cockpit is for one pilot only and comes with a seatbelt. The hydraulic looking legs pull out from under each wing so the speeder can stand on its own. Press the big button on top of the missiles section and it will eject the right-wing off for a cool battle effect.
The Poe Dameron figure is 3.75 inches tall and comes with a blaster, holster, and headset. The details on the Poe character are amazing and his jacket is flexible and feels like supple leather. His jacket also dons a Resistance Rebellion symbol on one arm. He also has great articulation, his arms and legs move up and down and his head can turn left and right. The Force Link Symbol is on the bottom of his foot. Kids will enjoy hearing various battle noises and Poe phrases — “Now we have a chance.” To hear another phrase just tap the Force Link. Recommended for ages 4+ and retails for $49.99.
Star Wars Nerf Captain Phasma Blaster
We were introduced to the female Captain Phasma in The Force Awakens. Clad in distinctive armor of salvaged chromium, Captain Phasma commands the First Order’s legions of stormtroopers. She’s tough and not afraid to use brute force and blasters to take down the Rebel Alliance. The Nerf Captain Phasma Blaster is a replica of her weapon in The Last Jedi movie and it’s really cool. The kit includes a blaster, pack attachment, stock, 5 darts, and instructions. 3 AAA batteries are required to set this baby in motion – not included. Some assembling is required.
The new Nerf Captian Phasma Blaster will allow kids to fire away with glow stripe darts. Load the darts into the drum cylinder and prime the weapon by flipping down and pull back the orange retractable bolt. Each time you prime the cylinder will glow, making after dark battles possible. Press the trigger and you’ll hear blaster noises and the darts will shoot out to about 40 – 45 feet. Recommended for ages 6+ and retails for $59.99.
