Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: #WheresRey part of a continuing problem

By Lisa Goudy

The quest for Rey's token in the most recent 'Star Wars' monopoly game is a journey that never should've happened.

Hasbro released a new 'Star Wars' monopoly set featuring four playable characters - Luke Skywalker, Finn, Darth Vader and Kylo Ren. There is no sign of Rey. For those of you who haven't seen 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens,' (and as I detest spoilers, I will keep this column spoiler-free), Rey is one of the main protagonists of the 'Star Wars' sequel trilogy, played by Daisy Ridley.

Now Disney did a spectacular job of keeping everything leading up to the film's release spoiler-free - which is why Hasbro states Rey was not included in the set - but to exclude one of the main characters is like having an original 'Star Wars' trilogy set that didn't include Luke or having a 'Harry Potter' set without Harry. It doesn't make sense.
