so let me get this straight...
battery pack to the hasbro board, splice the switch in to the positive wire of the battery going to the board and in to the board and then have a resistor between the board and the lux 3, won't that dim my LED star?

No

Battery pack to board, switch to board, power wires for led to battery pack, board light outputs to switch wires on a buck puck or the led driver.

You are using the board as a relay, or middel man to turn the puck on, cause the puck needs a latching switch, the hasbros run a momentary switch.

With the boards led/bulb outputs it gives a constent, Not sure about the foc models.

You dont need it persay, you can get a clash sensor and wire that in place of the secondary switch, But without is fine, it just wont flash when you strike something.

Sence you got a driver you dont need a resistor.

Is the driver you got a momentary version or a latching version? the only way to ad sound to the latching version is with MR or hasbro FFX boards, the momentary you can use cheap hasbro boards.

There is wiring diagrams on these forums.
