It's that Star Wars Fever, man...it takes hold and suddenly it overcomes you.

I needed an extra house key made today. Got a SW one.

Ever since X-wing crapped out on me due to horrendous tool boxes that I played with at FFG that just ruined the fun in the game for me, I wrote off SW games.

Then I realized that the nature of the game is important to me.

X-wing gets the most out of it when playing against different people and against their own unique collections (you can be the sole owner in a game group and still have fun, but it's not quite the same challenge).

Games such as this merely requires a couple intimate friends to participate, and that's it. Far more preferable when one hates the unwashed, mouth breathing, minmaxing, ruleslawyers whose sole goal is to play a game and suck the fun out of it in order to glean some semblance of relevance in their otherwise pathetic lives.

The more I think about it, the more interested I become. The only thing holding me back is a lack of local SW fans who I think would dig playing a potential kinda-retheme of queens gambit.

So... Star Trek Attack Wing tourneys are out then, I take it?

But isn't this set during the Endor battle of RotJ? Then who the hell's the dude at the top? Is he from the new movie? If yes, why's he on this box cover, aside from tying it in to the new movie?


Kind of look like Captain Phasma. She is said to be a high ranking storm trooper. So maybe they are tying it into the new movie, just by having the helmet of that rank of storm trooper on the box?

It's actually Kylo Ren, not Phasma...he's kind of the "face" of the new product line like how Vader was previously.

This is a preview of the Target Ad. I can't find the actual coupons on line yet. However, it says you can text Force10 or Force25 to TARGET to get the coupons on your smart phone. Plus you can also get another 5% off with your Target credit card.

That box is actually driving me away from the Black Edition, which looks boring and entirely too serious.

So 25% discount if you buy multiple copies of the game.
Are we absolutely sure that there are no Target branches in the UK ....

I read it twice and I still didn't see "STAY ON TARGET" anywhere in this ad. What the hell, Marketing, the ad practically writes itself!

I don't know why, but the "3P only" setup kills me.

We just bought our 15 month old a winter coat -- looks like wookie fur.
