Looks like Hasbro is tapping into the app market for their Star Wars products for 2016. The image above is captured from the Hera’s A-wing packaging and it looks to be present on all products set for release this fall. No word yet on the features of the app but surely we’ll learn about that at SDCC.
UPDATE: The app is built by Bad Robot Interactive and will allow people to film their toys and add movie special effects. Thanks to @TheSuperJedi for the info.
GameStop looks to be the place where you can get the LEGO Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle polybag when you preorder (and pickup) LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Note: the terms stipulate that you must pickup the game the first day it’s available (6/28/2016) in order to receive the free polybag.

EA has posted a great video showcasing the future of Star Wars gaming. Check out the footage above.
Fantasy Flight Games has announced their latest expansion in their popular X-wing Miniatures Game. This release includes the ARC-170, Special Forces TIE Fighter, Protectorate Starfighter and Shadow Caster.
Between these four expansions, you will find zero turrets. Instead, you will find two auxiliary firing arcs, one mobile firing arc, and a starfighter with zero shields… whose pilots practice flying straight at their foes. And there is plenty more to this wave than just its ships. You will also meet Poe’s mother, discover new First Order tech, welcome a handful of Mandalorians to the Scum faction, and gain the ability to fly Sabine Wren as a Scum bounty hunter.
Look for Wave IX and its expansions to arrive at retailers late in the third quarter of 2016.
