The Force (Friday), it's calling to you.

Breathe. Just breathe. Force Friday II is here, and there's a lot to get excited about.

The follow-up to 2015's Force Friday, the sequel is once again a day devoted to the launch of new Star Wars merchandise, proving that Disney are masters of this whole marketing business. You could be cynical about it all, since it's such a shameless money grab from a corporate machine, but then just look at the porgs:

The second coming of Force Friday includes toys from across the saga, but the focus is very much on the upcoming eighth episode, The Last Jedi. There isn't much of Luke, Leia, or Captain Phasma, nor Benicio del Toro's DJ, but there are toys from the likes of Hasbro and LEGO for Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, Poe Dameron and more.

While some of these have been leaked or rumoured before now, Force Friday II gives us our best, most official look yet at a number of new and exciting additions to a galaxy far, far away.

I only know one truth. It's time to spend a lot of money.

Honourable Mention: The Millennium Falcon

Not a reveal really, though LEGO have been teasing something big and this is clearly what they meant. The Falcon is the biggest set they've ever released, and will set you back $800 (or £650). It is insane, and the odds of being able to justify buying it, never mind completing the thing, are approximately 7541-1.
