Writer Jennifer Muro hints at what fans might see on this summer’s Star Wars: Forces of Destiny.

This summer, the Forces of Destiny miniseries will show vignettes from around the Star Wars universe, focusing on the “everyday heroism” of female characters like Leia, Jyn, and Rey. This is the first Star Wars series to launch straight to YouTube, a move that matches nicely with its younger demographic. The format is reminiscent of the Clone Wars miniseries, which aired on Cartoon Network in 2003 as two-to-three minute episodes before expanding into a 15-minute format for a second volume.

Jennifer Muro, a veteran of shows such as Justice League Action, Lego DC Super Hero Girls, and the upcoming Spider-Man animated series, is the writer behind 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 about Star Wars’ most inspirational female characters is a dream come true.

While the conversation in geek circles a few years ago was about whether female characters could lead successful franchises at all, Star Wars has since proven they can by putting Rey and Jyn at the forefront of its latest movies. Now, the conversation has expanded, and fans are pushing for franchises to show multiple female characters in different types of roles.
