Join hosts Marjorie and Arnie as they discuss the big news revealed by Hasbro last week–the Droid Factory line of figures, slated for early 2013, has been cancelled.

With a Jar-Jar-tastic Christmas haul, a new Sideshow 1/6 scale figure, and much more, it’s all in this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast!
