From the comfort of his barge on Tatooine, Jabba the Hutt orders his men to make Luke Skywalker walk the plank of the Desert Skiff. Waiting below Luke is the mouth of the toothy desert monster, the Sarlacc. On board the skiff with Jabba’s cronies and Skywalker are a few of the Jedi’s trusted allies. Battle commences and Luke, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian attempt to fight off the Hutt Crime Syndicate and make their escape.

Hasbro Layoffs Soon, as Earnings Fall

Hasbro Logo

The toy industry knew that the fall of Toys ‘R’ Us was going to be a big blow, but maybe not this big. News started trickling out after a recent earnings call that Hasbro would be going through the process of laying off some of its workforce.

No one expected it to be up to 10 percent of their workforce though. This is just another hit after Toys ‘R’ Us closed its doors earlier this year.

What does this mean for the Star Wars brand? Only time will tell. As for those being let go from their positions, the team at Outer Rim News hopes that you land on your feet quickly.

Check out the announcement below.

Hasbro has now confirmed it will lay off a mid single digit percentage of its 5,000 estimated employees amid a recently announced $50-60 million restructuring plan.

The move was confirmed by a Hasbro spokesperson in a conversation with Business Insider.

It arrives in the same week that the global toymaker revealed its Q3 2018 results to be reeling from the aftermath of the demise of Toys R Us. Sales were down seven per cent in the US and Canada.

“As part of Hasbro’s ongoing transformation, we continue to make meaningful organisational changes,” said Julie Duffy, senior vice president for global communications at Hasbro.

“While some of these changes are difficult, we must ensure we have the right teams in place with the right capabilities to lead the company into the future.”

Following the liquidation of Toys R Us earlier this year, the likes of Hasbro and Mattel have had to scramble to find new avenues for selling toys. Walmart and Target usually buy toys later in the year than Toys R Us did, which caused a crunch at the end of the third quarter. Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner said in a conference call discussing the earnings that the company couldn’t meet all of the demand.
