Star Wars is everywhere these days.
The Force Awakens still feels relatively new to me, and yet there's another movie coming out this year (
The Last Jedi) and there's still a 2016 movie that I haven't seen yet (
Rogue One). When I was a kid, I had to wait three years between each of the original movies. Now, granted, three years felt like too long to wait, but this recent deluge of media is overwhelming. And it's not just the movies, either. There are trailers, video games (
Battlefront 2), and even short YouTube cartoons (
Forces of Destiny) to fill the time between films. While the onslaught of
Star Wars media might be too much for me to keep up with, I suspect most fans of the franchise are thrilled...I know members of my family are.
Star Wars merchandise is everywhere, too. Hot Toys releases new ultra-realistic sixth scale figures regularly, Hasbro has a variety of
The Last Jedi action figures out already, and of course there's always a great assortment of Lego sets. The toys I'm most interested in these days are Hasbro's highly-articulated 10.5-inch dolls from the
Forces of Destiny cartoon series.
In this review I'll look at two of these dolls; Rey and BB-8 from
The Force Awakens and Leia and Wicket from
Return of the Jedi:
