Jenna Busch asked Hasbro to explain why the main character of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” is not represented in their Star Wars Monopoly game. Even though one of the four figures in the game is Luke Skywalker, who does not appear until the film’s last moment.

Update on January 5, 2016: Hasbro has agreed to add Rey to the Monopoly game. The Force wins again.
