This Coming Friday, Is Force Friday! While everyone is focusing on the new Solo trailer, fans might have missed that Friday, April 13th, will be Force Friday. The announcement on StarWars.com revealed that toys and other products from Solo: A Star Wars Story will be hitting the shelves of WalMart, Target, The Disney Store and Amazon.com. Items said to be available include a series of Solo Funko Pop figures, Hasbro Black Series figures, along with the traditional 3.75 inch figures and of course, the Millennium Falcon to carry them all. http://www.starwars.com/news/solo-a-star-wars-story-products-revealed Did the Golden Dice Originally Belong to Qi’Ra? Before The Last Jedi, Han’s golden dice were one of those items that only the most intense Star Wars fans were aware of. But since Luke Skywalker brought them front and center, more and more have speculated about the dice. Pablo Hidalgo from Lucasfilm Story Group has recently shared on Twitter that these are the very dice that Han used in the game of Sabacc during which he won the Millennium Falcon from Lando Calrissian. But now, a new promotional poster for Solo shows the now infamous dice are in the hands of Emilia Clarke’s, Qi’ra. The only other time we see the dice in Solo promo is hanging from the rear view mirror of the speeder Han is driving with Qi’Ra. Is there more to the story that will be revealed? We’ve only got a few weeks to wait to find out. https://www.comicbookmovie.com/sci-fi/star_wars/does-new-promo-art-for-solo-a-star-wars-story-reveal-the-origin-of-han-solos-golden-dice-a159480 Stop By a LEGO Store on May the 4th For Your Own Terbus the Porg Build Make sure you take your kids to The LEGO Store on May the 4th to so they can build a free LEGO porg to celebrate the unofficial “Star Wars Day.” Of course, we’re still waiting for our favorite porg’s name to be officially recognized as Terbus.
