The second season of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny animated shorts will be premiering later this year, before the live-action Star Wars:The Last Jedi arrives in theaters.
Star Wars, as a franchise, has long included strong female heroines, but allowing them to headline projects has been a rarefied occurrence.
Star Wars: Forces of Destiny season 2 premieres on YouTube and Disney XD in October.
The Forces of Destiny Initiative was officially launch back at the Star Wars Celebration in April to fan acclaim and has helped to make the wait between Star Wars movies more bearable, for those eager to return to a galaxy far, far away.
