Writer Jennifer Muro hints at what fans might see on this summer’s Star Wars: Forces of Destiny.
We spoke to Muro about her vision for the series.
Muro brings her own fandom to the show.
She has been a fan of the galaxy far, far away since she was a teenager.
To work on this new animated series aboutStar Wars most inspirational female characters is a dream come true.
Leia would handle a situation one way, Ahsoka another way, Jyn another way.
That was the goal all along.
She said that writing Leia, especially in the Original Trilogy era, is hard to beat.
Its not difficult to see why.
Forces of Destinywas a topic on the latestStar Wars Blaster Canonpodcast.
Its about keeping true to her voice and to Carries voice.
InForces of Destiny, Leia will be voiced by Shelby Young, whos a newcomer toStar Wars.
She really brought life to the character, Muro said.
Fan favorite Ahsoka Tano will also play a big part in the series.
I wouldnt want to make any decisions about Ahsoka without Dave [Filoni], Muro said.
Filonis stories have left fans rampantly speculating about whether Ahsoka survived her encounter with Darth Vader inStar WarsRebelsseason 2.
Felicity [Jones] is going to do an amazing job.
Its so great to have her.
Also making a return is Lupita Nyongo as Maz Kanata, who narrates the series.
It would make sense that she would become this galaxys storyteller.
Forces of Destinywill also shed some more light on Sabine Wrens backstory.
Sabine, of course, has been a main character onRebelsfor the past few years.
We have a nice amount of Sabine in there, which is fantastic, said Muro.
Its about her growing into who she is.
