This was made to inspire us all with breaking through in the galaxy! A song celebrating fangirls in the galaxy, and a dedication to our Princess, Carrie Fisher. Finally, this is also thank you to RFR for helping us to break through….

“It rocks!”
– JIMMY MAC, Rebel Force Radio

“It’s a great song! Love the harmonies and the bass beat!”
– THERESA DELGADO, Fangirls Going Rogue

“Catchy tune! I love the lyrics and the images used. It feels like an anthem for women in fandom. Made me think how much people hated Ahsoka, now she is loved. Strong female leads like Rey, Jyn, Leia, and Padme started it all. Women of Star Wars are breaking through barriers. I love it.”
– SANDRA CHOUTE, Fangirls Going Rogue

“Very cool!!!! ” 
– BONNIE BURTON Author and former Senior Editor for Starwars.com

“You hit a grand slam with this one!”
– CRIS MACHT, The Force Among Us

“Knocked it out of the park! You truly can never underestimate the passion and talent of Star Wars fans. Rebel Girl is not only a beautiful tribute to our ‘first-lady’ of science fiction but also embodies the spirit of the female heroines of the saga.”
– MATT CLIFTON, Star Wars fan
