The release of Masters of the Force brings us to the end of the road with the Star Wars Miniatures game. It was a good run. Now all those little plastic Jedi are one with the Force.

Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.

All good things must someday end, and so it is with the Star Wars Miniatures game. Masters of the Force will be the final expansion produced by Wizards of the Coast. You can tell the creative team kind of went all out with this one — it’s packed with the best classic characters, and some [...]

The latest expansion for the Star Wars Miniatures game, The Dark Times, comes out next month. Aside from Boushh, Ubese Hunter, what else can you expect to find in the set?
