The Star Wars News Roundup for the week of November 6, 2015
The purpose of the Star Wars News Roundup is to put all the updates from the last week in one location. If you read this each week, you should be able to converse fluently with any Star Wars fan on everything from the latest Star Wars: The Force Awakens developments to the latest toys. And maybe you’ll even share with them something that they might have missed.
Let’s get to it!
