"Comic-Con provides Hasbro with a unique opportunity to showcase the breadth, versatility, and popularity of our brands," said John Frascotti, Hasbro's Global Chief Marketing Officer. "We look forward to once again providing fans of our brands with several special edition products, access to our creative talent, and an overall memorable experience at this year's Comic-Con."
The Force remains strong at Hasbro which continues to bring all the action, battles and fantasy of STAR WARS to life with a full array of toys and games. In 2010, STAR WARS fans can celebrate the launch of the third season of the highly-rated STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARSTM animated series with toys that replicate the battles between the Galactic Republic and the Separatists. This year, Hasbro also commemorates the 30th anniversary of fan-favorite Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back with toys, special packaging and promotions that recreate the excitement fans experienced when the film debuted in theaters "a long time ago."
