A few days ago the official premiere date for Lucasfilm’s new animated micro-series Forces of Destiny was announced as the first episode will be arriving on July 3. Series writer Jennifer Muro spent some time recently speaking with CGMagazine about this new project which a lot of fans are eager to see unfold.
I do not recall this being revealed in any previous announcements, but the piece on CGMagazine’s website states that Forces of Destiny will contain 16 episodes (their text is copied below).
Set to premiere on Disney in July 2017, Star Wars: Forces of Destiny will be a 16 episode series that focuses on telling the stories of iconic Star Wars heroes. The animated show will feature film and series talent reprising their roles including Daisy Ridley, Felicity Jones, and Lupita Nyong’o.
Take the supplied source link for the interview they posted and be sure to also check out Muro’s earlier interview she conducted with Den of Geek.
CGMagazine got a chance to talk to the sole writer with the monumental task of creating these stories and expanding on the characters that fans love so much. Jennifer Muro has been writing film and television projects for the last ten years, and is also writing a new Spider-Man series for Disney as well as a female-driven comedy adventure series with Nickelodeon, and an original web series with Jim Henson Studios. To say she has a lot on her plate is a bit of an understatement, but she took some time out of her busy schedule to talk Star Wars with us and explain why it’s time for female heroes to get their due.
