Looking for some new Star Wars content to keep you busy until Solo is out? If so, you’ll be pleased to hear that Star Wars: Forces of Destiny will be back on Monday, March 19, with not one but EIGHT brand new episodes featuring our favourite heroines (and heroes) from that galaxy far, far away.

Clone Wars veterans Ahsoka Tano, Padmé Amidala, and Anakin Skywalker are among the characters returning for this new season of Forces of Destiny along with other fan favourites, such as Princess Leia, Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren of Star Wars Rebels, Rogue One’s Jyn Erso, and Maz Kanata, Rey, and Finn from the sequel trilogy. And porgs. Many, many porgs.

Mark Hamill and Kelly Marie Tran will be joining the cast of the popular animated micro-series, reprising their roles as Luke Skywalker and Rose Tico for their respective shorts, “The Path Ahead” and “Shuttle Shock”.
