At Toys R Us, I inadvertently got a free Star Wars Rebels poster with a qualifying purchase over $20.
Cashier: Would you like the free Star Wars poster?
Me: … yes, please.

At Gator Games, I was checking out the new Star Wars Destiny dice game, and while checking online what would be needed to start getting into the game, I realized that I didn’t need yet ANOTHER Star Wars game from Fantasy Flight Games that I would not be playing.
So instead of picking up a couple of starter packs, I picked up the Alliance Smuggler miniature playing piece for Imperial Assault. I’m designating that figure as my character in-game, based on my Star Wars The Old Republic character, Jayke Skykiller.

At home I pulled out the Imperial Assault game, and simple rummaged through the figures while adding the Alliance Smuggler mini and cards to the game. I may pick up Princess Leia and Lando Calrissian, just to have the Original Trilogy heroes in the game.
I then pulled out the X-Wing Miniatures Game, along with a couple of larger ship minis that i had picked up almost a year ago. After trying to fit everything (ships, cards, tokens, etc.) into the two core boxes that I had picked up, I finally opened the third core set (The Force Awakens edition) that I picked up on clearance from Target and was able to fit everything over the three boxes.

After the AFC playoff game, I started up this week’s episode of Star Wars Rebels. Quite a surprise (or not?) to see yet another Ralph McQuarrie design make it onto the show, this time a ‘protocol’ droid that looked a lot like the early concept art for C-3PO.
