Konami’s Star Wars Force Collection customizable card game is available for download on iOS and Android. I’m not sure what to make of the game, but at least I got the callsign “Red 5”.

Our friends at Yakface reported that Biggs and Anakin figures are showing early signs of peg warming. This weekend, I came across a Toys R Us store that had two full pegs populated with only Biggs, Anakin and Biker Scout figures with Anakin being the most prevalent and I had to post to in support of the Yakface report. In addition to the back up of these three figures, there were a few miscards in the lot. This was likely due to the bubble adhesive failure and someone taping the figure to the wrong card back.

The pop culture extravaganza, Boston Super Megafest, is coming this November 23rd and 24th. You may remember our coverage from last year when none of other than the man himself, David Prowse, was in attendance.

Click through to visit the Super Megafest page for all the details and special guests. If you’re in the area and plan to attend, please let us know here in the comments or on our Facebook page. If there’s a big enough contingent, maybe we’ll do something Batha-tastic.

Hurd-Wood is supposedly trying for the role of the Solo daughter, and it’s unknown who Pettyfer is reading for. They speculated that it’s Luke’s son. They also report that LFL will officially announce some casting news very soon, possibly even today. So…stay tuned with your grains of salt.

Update: The link to the story is no longer active, but you can still view the image of the document HERE.
