The Trade Federation #70

Last year, Force Friday was a huge event. But for many fans it was an even bigger letdown. In many ways, we still do not know what is in store for us come “Rogue One Friday” (as some are calling it). Will the Rogue One product announcements be a midnight event? Could retail locations have enough to meet demand? Will target have a life-sized C2-B5 for Chris Salton to chase down? Who can say?

September 30 is still a month away, but Disney and Lucasfilm have begun to reveal a slew Rogue One product announcements scheduled for release. Perhaps their pre-order strategy will take the pressure off of the expectations surrounding the street date, slowing some of the buzz while making the general experience more enjoyable. One thing is for sure: another epic Star Wars event and accompanying product bonanza is on its way, and Joe, Bill, and Steven are here to talk about it.
