In an effort to attract more female Star Wars fans and promote equality, Disney has announced Star Wars: Forces of Destiny. It’s a series of eight animated shorts that take place within the Star Wars universe and feature prominent female characters.
“With Forces of Destiny, there was an opportunity to tell some additional stories around these terrific characters from throughout the franchise,” said Executive Producer Carrie Beck.
Forces of Destiny features Daisey Ridley as Rey, Felicity Jones as Gyn Erso, Shelby Young as Leia, and others.
