This is a very different episode of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny. Like I said in the title, the whole thing felt like a like one of those old "The More You Know" cartoons. They would come on back when Saturday Morning Cartoons were still a thing. They'd try to teach morals, good habits, & just overall safety. This totally feels like one of the morals episodes. Was it good? I didn't really dig it, but I can't knock it at all because of what it is. This wasn't made for me, it was made for a way younger audience, & in all reality we need more stuff like this. I can't believe with so many people "screen parenting" that the messages that were contained on those screens when I was a child are missing now. It's sad really. Anyway, check this out. If you have kids let them watch it more importantly. Let's show a little support for this amazing effort at trying something I haven't seen in awhile. Other than in shows that are specifically for this purpose, & those are usually boring. I wanna know y'all's thoughts on this. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Newest "Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny" Gives Us A Spoiler For "Star Wars: Rebels"
So, the newest episode for Star Wars: Forces of Destiny dropped, & with it came a spoiler for Disney XD's Star Wars: Rebels. In this episode, which only exists for comedic purpose, the Ewoks are hungry & Leia isn't quite to fond of the idea of them eating Stormtroopers (Hence the name, An Imperial Feast). She sends Han & Chewie to get some rations & BAM! Rebels spoiler, Hera Syndulla makes it to the events after Return of the Jedi. So no matter the fate of the rest of the Star Wars: Rebels crew Hera makes it past season 4. My guess is she's one of few, I don't think a major amount of the Rebels crew are going to make it through to the credits of season 4. That's a-whole-nother show & a-whole-nother story though. This is about this episode, An Imperial Feast, which is, all in all, meh. It's a kid's show, so it's inevitable to have these throwaway comedic episodes. That said, it isn't bad, just not my cup of tea. I'm always looking for some advancement when it comes to my Star Wars though. What did y'all think? About this episode, the newest batch as a whole, & the revelation that Hera Syndulla makes it all the way to the fall of the Empire? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
More Jyn Erso In Newest Episode Of "Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny"
I've liked a lot of these Star Wars: Forces of Destiny episodes, especially in this new season. This one falls on a middle ground for me though, for a couple of reasons. One it contains Jyn Erso, which while I liked for Rogue One, she's not the most likable character. It worked for the movie, as she was playing a role that would get redeemed by the end. Where as used as a normal character with others in the Star Wars universe she doesn't come off as one of the scoundrels like a Han or a Lando with their redeeming qualities, she comes off as just unlikable all around. The biggest contributor to this being just meh for me is this is a prime example of why these episodes should be longer. This scene has meaning beyond it's message. However, without context we don't know what all this is even for. It's stuff like that that made a lot of the first season episodes seem like they really had no standing in the grand scheme of the Star Wars universe. Getting a little more time here on both ends would give some significance to the plans they're running around with. But hey, if my biggest gripe is that it should be longer that's saying something for it. What did y'all think of this episode though? In fact what about the whole of season 2 so far?

"Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny" Season 2 Continues To Impress With "The Starfighter Stunt"
I've been really impressed so far with the second season of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny. My favorite still being the last episode Teach You, I Will, this new episode The Starfighter Stunt doesn't disappoint. In an entertaining use of Padme Amidala we get to see Ahsoka giving her some flight lessons. Considering that in itself sounds really boring, of course it gets interrupted by a hidden droid fighter. And as usual, without R2-D2 all would be lost. Once again a solid episode though. Leading me to think these could really hold some importance if they upped the runtime to 5-10 minutes. They're really catching their strides in this second season, & I love to see it. I hope this does bring some new blood over to the Star Wars Galaxy, fans are what keeps all this going. Curious to know what y'all think though? What do you think of this new season in comparison to the first? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Always Wise Words From Yoda In "Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny" Episode "Teach You, I Will"
Teach You, I Will has to go down as my favorite episode of Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny to date. As soon as I saw Yoda on the front, I figured the Jedi Master for a main character in this one, & I was right. Yoda delivers some amazing wisdom throughout as he checks in & builds on Anakin's duel-lightsaber training of his padwan, Ahsoka. Though short, this episode was a must see, delivering many messages throughout. The resolution of taking one's training & making it your own might be some of the best advice in life one could take. Anyway, I loved this episode. What did y'all think? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
New "Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny" Episode "Tracker Trouble" Takes Place During "The Force Awakens"
Han Solo gets to make an appearance before his solo film in this Star Wars: Forces of Destiny episode. Titled Tracker Trouble, this episode takes place on the way to Mas Kanata in The Force Awakens. Still not the most relevant of things to watch, but once again it really feels like Star Wars. That's something I've definitely noticed about the first two episodes from this second season, & so far I'm really digging it. This show could probably even stand a time extension to the 5-10 minute mark if they keep this up. What did y'all think of this episode though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
"Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny" Newest Episode Debuts
Brand new episode of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny came out. This episode, titled Newest Recruit, kicks off season 2. I had a small problem with the first season not only seeming to lack any impact on the Star Wars galaxy, but not really containing any substance at all. This one, while not having any impacts on the galaxy, still was really entertaining. It felt like a mini-episode of Star Wars: Rebels. I think what I really like about it, is while it was just the girls, it still felt like Star Wars. Some of the earlier episodes felt like they could have almost been any cartoon. With some even felling like cartoons about Star Wars, as opposed to something that actually fits. Anyway, all in all this was a really cool, little short. I'd like to know what y'all think though? Both Star Wars fans & the casual watcher. I'd really like to get a feminine take on the "girl power" of these. Do you think they will open more girls up to Star Wars?

"Star Wars: Forces Of Destiny" Puts Out Trailer For Second Season
Disney has released the trailer for the second season of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny to be shown on the Disney Channel in two, half-hour episodes. The episodes will release on October 1st & October 29th. Doesn't sound like they are going to do the YouTube thing this time around, but I'm not sure. YouTube is where the original season played itself out. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first season of these. Not that they were bad, they just lacked sustenance. I've got to admit though, some of what's in this preview looked really good. Not only that, but some of it looked like they decided to finally put some meaning in these & not just make them fluff. Which is cool because this series was a really good idea, it just needed a little more oomph in it's execution. I have hope that what I saw in these previews was the oomph I was looking for, & rebellions were built on hope. Anyway, did this trailer look better to y'all? For that matter, what did y'all think of Season 1? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
"Star Wars Forces of Destiny" Latest Episode Probably Best So Far
So, all in all I haven't been too impressed with the Star Wars: Forces of Destiny shorts. In defense they're not for me. They're cute & more for small kids, but when this first got announced, I was under the impression the female side of the Star Wars galaxy was really going to get a significant place to shine. That being said, I'd figured these would feature some major moments for the ladies. I was a little let down when I saw them. I had to realize they were more for yucks, than to further the narrative. This latest one however, titled The Imposter Inside, feels like it would have started off an episode of Clone Wars. Featuring Ahsoka & Padme having a run in with a shapeshifting assassin, like the one seen in Attack of the Clones. Once again, no major impact on the Star Wars universe. This one at least, felt like it fit in there. In fact, this was the first one of these I watched that I wanted more of. I'm hoping this is a signal that they've saved the best for last. What did y'all think of this one? Am I wrong for expecting some substance to these, even though they're just shorts? Let me know in the comments, like, & share.
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.
