Forces of Destiny: Bounty of Trouble

By: Dominic Jones

Lucasfilm and Disney have released the eighth episode of the new animated micro series Star Wars: Forces of Destiny.  The series shines the spotlight on the heroines of the Star Wars galaxy, with each 2-3 minute episode shining the spotlight on a different female hero.  The eighth episode, titled "Bounty of Trouble," features Sabine Wren "kidnapping" Princess Leia so the secret rebel can pass along some classified Imperial information.  "Bounty of Trouble" stars Tiya Sircar as Sabine alongside Shelby Young as Leia, and also features an introductory voice over from Lupita Nyong'o as Maz Kanata.  Check out the episode below,

Episode 4: "The Padawn Path"

Episode 5: "Beasts of Echo Base" 

Episode 6: "The Imposter Inside"

This concludes the first run of Forces of Destiny.  A second run consisting of more animated shorts is expected to debut in October.  Overall, I found the Forces of Destiny episodes to be enjoyable.  Sure, some were better than others, but it was fun having new Star Wars content released every day for short while.  I look forward to seeing what the creative team does with the next series.
