New Animated Show: Star Wars: Forces of Destiny

[DimesDan]

That goes for those of you who "liked" the post, as well

Is that a new board wide policy?

Discussions on this should go to PM, so that we can return to the actual topic of the thread

I personally think that such a wide ranging implication across the board shouldn't be restricted to PM and essentially giving a friendly to people for liking a post is maybe overstepping the mark.

But that's fine, we can get back to discussing the Forces of Destiny shorts and I'll bring this up somewhere else.

I liked the final line of that last episode, with the implication that Sabine and Leia would work together again in the future. (I'll agree that I was struggling to place the exact timeframe though.)

I saw a whole shelf of Forces of Destiny toys in the Star Wars aisle at Toys R Us. They actually look pretty cool. Might not make a bad gift for some of my younger female relatives.

Han and Finn will appear on FoD.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Huh, I thought we already knew that, particularly Finn.

So some of the episodes will focus on the guys then? I thought they were only going to be focusing on the girls.

But they do have appearances by male characters in supporting roles. There have been appearances by Anakin and Yoda already, as well as non-speaking male characters like Chewbacca and Wicket.

Half an hour!? Yay!!

 

[JD]

Is that just all of the already aired episode shown back to back, or the start of the new episodes?

 

[The Wormhole]

There do appear to be some new clips in that preview, but who knows?

 

[Sparkle Fabulosa]

Han is with Rey in the last clip so definitely some new stuff shown in the promo.

I hope we actually get a short with Maz this time.

I'd be surprised if they do. I get the impression they want to keep her as mysterious as possible with anything we do learn about her being reserved for the movies themselves.

I don't think there's all that much mystery with Maz to spoil. She runs a watering hole and has done for about 1000 years. That's plenty of opportunity for storytelling, especially in such a short format. At the very least they could do some little bookend segments with her when they inevitably re-edit all of this for a TV suitable format.

She also has struck me as the narrator for this series, rather than a character.

Well we still need to learn how she got the Skywalker lightsaber.

A good story...for another time.
