While the original run of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny shorts were met with mixed reviews (watch them all here), we’re now getting two half hour specials.

And we have a trailer below.

Moments both big and small shape our heroes destinies

While still very much focused on the female characters of the Star Wars universe, we also get Han, Finn and others in there too, joining the likes of Jyn, Leia, Ashoka, Sabine, Rey and others.

The first half-hour special debuts Sunday, October 1st (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) followed by the second on Sunday, October 29th (8:00 p.m. ET/PT) on Disney Channel and the Disney Channel App.

Developed by Lucasfilm Animation, Star Wars Forces of Destiny showcases how choices both big and small shaped the destinies of beloved characters. Talent from across Star Wars films and animated TV series reprise their roles – Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong’o, Felicity Jones, Tiya Sircar, Ashley Eckstein, Vanessa Marshall, Catherine Taber and Matt Lanter among others.

With the first eight installments launching digitally, these new shorts will also launch on Disney YouTube following the Disney Channel specials.

 

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
