Also from Hasbro this year is “Loopin’ Chewie” which is due to be released in Autumn later this year. It is based on the Loopin’s Louis game.

Basically, a battery-powered motor placed in the center of the table rotates a boom with Chewie riding the Millennium Falcon. Four radial arms lead out to the players and the targets they’re trying to protect. Each player has a little lever, which is used to knock the rotating plane away from your chickens and hopefully into someone else’s. When only one player has targets remaining, he or she wins the game. Very silly and very addictive.

Here’s a close up of Chewie and the Falcon.

Chewie looks like he’s in full on Wookie berserker mode. 🙂
