Toy Fair didn’t provide much of anything worthwhile from Hasbro this year on the Star Wars front, but we ‘d be remiss to not mention a couple of Q&A sessions that Hasbro held with our friends at Imperialshipyards and Jeditemplearchives during the event.

Check them out by clicking on their respective links and see what Hasbro had to say!

UPDATE – We’re happy to share the Q&A session that our friends at Sirstevesguide was able to partake in as well – including a very interesting comment by the Hasbro team that we hope is an encouraging sign…

Ever since Disney’s acquisition of the Star Wars brand, it has been speculated that we’d inevitably see a Star Wars-themed Disney cruise. Our friends Mark and James from JediNews wrote about this recently for Metro News, but now a tweet from Attractions Magazine virtually confirms the rumor.

Thanks to Imperial Holocron for the heads up.
