‘Star Wars’ Monopoly
to include Rey after
young girl’s letter
The Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The
“Star Wars” version of Monopoly
will add a game piece based on the
female character Rey after an 8-year-
old girl wrote “Girls matter” in a let-
ter to game maker Hasbro noting the
omission.
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.
