Carrie Goldman, of Evanston, Il- linois, posted a letter on Twitter this week written by her daughter, Annie Rose, asking why Hasbro left out Rey when she is a main character of the latest movie in the series, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The original game includes piec- es modeled on male characters: Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Finn and Kylo Ren. Hasbro responded, saying it didn’t want any spoilers, so it did not include Rey when it released the game in Sep- tember. The Rhode Island-based toymaker says it will add the new piece this year. A letter sent to Hasbro by Carrie Goldman’s daughter, Annie Rose.
