                July, ahead of a TV special that is
                planned for the Disney Channel
                this fall.

                  Lucasfilm boss Kathleen
                Kennedy has described the series
                as being “for anyone who has been
                inspired by Leia’s heroism, Rey’s
                courage, or Ahsoka’s tenacity,”
                and as a way to explore “the small                                                               03
                moments and everyday decisions
                that shape who these characters
                are.” Alongside the animated
                adventures, there will also be
                Forces of Destiny books, and a cool
                new range of 11-inch adventure

                figures squarely aimed at the girl’s
                roleplay market.
                  All in all, while it’s recognizably
                Star Wars, it is also a departure for
                the franchise. To find out what

                forces shaped the series, Insider sat

                down with Lucasfilm vice president
                of animation development and
                story-group member Carrie Beck,
