Fantasy Flight Games have big news in the form of Star Wars: Legion an infantry miniatures game. X-Wing has become a hugely popular space fight game, with dogfights, build strategy and collecting.

This is it. The second official Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer shows us new characters, old landscapes… and some of our favourites from the originals.
