Wizards of the Coast just announced a Dungeons & Dragons x Star Wars crossover, arriving as part of Universes Beyond in late 2027. Wayne, Annina, and Callum spend the first half of this episode picking apart what WotC and Hasbro will actually ship — page count, class list, whether it’s a straight 5E reskin or a system built from scratch — then spend the second half designing their own version from a fictional Hasbro brief, from Force mechanics to starship combat.
