Star Wars Ladies Get a New Series
Lucasfilm & Disney announced a new series of animated shorts accompanied by a Hasbro toyline that's gonna be all about the ladies. That's right girls, for the few remaining females left that say Star Wars is a guy thing, I have your rebuttal. Star Wars: Forces of Destiny will feature Rey, Jyn Erso, Princess Leia, Sabine Wren, Ahsoka Tano, & Maz Kanata. Did I mention the cast? These aren't going to be voice actors. Daisy Ridley, Felicity Jones, Tiya Sircar, Ashley Eckstein, & Lupita Nyong'o will lend their talents to help bring these characters to life. According to Collider, this series of mini-episodes will start in July on Disney YouTube followed by a two part special with eight episodes on Disney Channel in the Fall. Followed by toys, books, apparel, & bedding, this thing sounds like it's gonna be a powerhouse & usher in a new generation of young Star Wars fans. If it's anything like Clone Wars & Rebels it will also be highly appealing to the older generation of fans as well. Here's the first look.
