O kay, it may not be your conventional cat but it's still a cat, and cats are awesome.  Watch how Jyn Erso (played by Felicity Jones ) takes on a couple of Stormtroopers who are trying to take the feline friend away from it's owner.  (This is the worst thing I've seen in the Star Wars universe.)  Jyn however has bit of assistance from the cat and together (spoiler alert) they save the day. If that was my Bengal then Jyn wouldn't have been needed.  In fact, the resistance could just drop my cat off at the nearest Death Star and just wait.... Rob "can you tell I love cats?"

I t's time for another Star Wars Forces of Destiny and in this action packed episode we get an appearance from Sabine (voiced by Tiya Sircar .) Also making an appearance is the bounty hunter IG-88 .  If my vintage figure is anything to go buy then he will probably fall over within a minute so probably not worth worrying about.  Also look out for the Stormtroopers keeping up their reputation for being unbelievably bad with a blaster.

Pizza?  With a fork? I t's time for another Star Wars Forces of Destiny and today we return to Coruscant where we see Asoka Tano voiced by Ashley Eckstein becoming suspicious over some cutlery that just shouldn't be on that table.  Watch the episode and it will all become clear. As usual with the previous episodes of Forces of Destiny this week they certainly pack a punch even if it is only two and a half minutes long. Certainly has an explosive ending.

Chewie caught in the act Star Wars Forces of Destiny - Beasts of Echo Base. Watch the latest episode below. If you're a bit of a Star Wars fan then you will be well aware of that deleted scene from The Empire Strikes Back where C3P0 rips off a sign from a sealed door on Echo Base.  Then, pursuing Snowtroopers stop and open the door minus the warning sign only to be a Wampa's latest happy meal. Well the latest episode of Star Wars Forces of Destiny explains how a Wampa got trapped and a sealed door was put in place.  Watch as Leia voiced by Shelby Young finds Chewbacca sleeping with a Wampa.  This...This is not explained. It's episode five even though the description says it's episode six.  Unless they are taking a lesson out of George Lucas's book. Rob "who printed the warning sign?"

E pisode four of the micro animated series, Star Wars: The Forces of Destiny is now up on Disney's Youtube channel and today we are at Coruscant where we join  Ahsoka Tano (voiced by Ashley Eckstein)  late for her own ceremony it seems.  Her journey obviously isn't going to be straight forward and if you live on Coruscant and wonder why you have no running water, you can blame the dual lightsaber wielding padawan. If you miss The Clone Wars then this episode will certainly give you a brief fix.  We even get a "Snips" from Anakin Skywalker. (voiced by Matt Lander.)  Man! I miss that show.

I f I can be British for just a second...Ewoks!  They are like Marmite , you either love them or hate them.  Okay  Brit humour over.  The latest Star Wars: Forces of Destiny episode is out and as you can guess it has those furry rascals in it. Episode 3 is called Ewok Escape and we leave Jakku behind and start our new adventures on the forest moon of Endor.  Princess Leia is voiced by Shelby Young and does a wonderful job.  The short cartoon is full of fun and finally explains how Princess Leia got a change of clothes on the forest moon of Endor in Return of the Jedi.  I did always wonder. Forces of Destiny is canon too so this is now the official story.

E pisode two from Star Wars Forces of Destiny is now on YouTube for you to enjoy.  This one continues with BB-8 and Rey and once again Rey is voiced by Daisy Ridley.   This episode called BB-8 Bandits is bursting with excitement and hardly gives you time to catch your breath.  Good job it's only two and half minutes long.

I t may only be 2 minutes and 48 seconds long, but the first episode of Star Wars: Forces of Destiny really packs a punch and will make you feel all warm inside.  The episode is titled “Sands of Jakku,”  and centres around fan favourites, Rey and BB-8.  Rey is actually voiced by Daisy Ridley and the episode is introduced by wide-eyed (with her goggles on) Maz Kanata who is voiced by Force Awakens actress,  Lupita Nyong'o. Star Wars: Forces of Destiny is set to be a huge hit with Star Wars fans.  Expect to hear in upcoming episodes John Boyega, Shelby Young, the ever popular Ashley Eckstein, Rogue One's Felicity Jones and Star Wars voice artist veteran, Vanessa Marshall to name a few. This new series really is a perfect way and size to get a new Star Wars fix wherever you may be.  Perfect for when I grab a coffee break in work.  In this episode listen out for Rey's theme, the wonderful sound effects you expect from a Star Wars movie and wa...

Back in December we reported that Lucasfilm   put forward a trademark filing to the European Union Intellectual Property Office for “Star Wars Forces of Destiny.”  The Internet was speculating if this is the title for one of the upcoming Star Wars movies.  Well today we were sent a press release from Lucasfilm to explain what Forces of Destiny is all about. Disney and  Lucasfilm  today announced  Star Wars Forces of Destiny,  a new initiative celebrating the inspiring stories of iconic heroes from across the  Star Wars  universe. An original series of animated shorts (each 2-3  minutes  in length) will   explore exciting, all new adventures of key characters including Rey,  Jyn Erso , Sabine Wren, Princess Leia,  Ahsoka   Tano  and others, ahead of books and a TV special later in the year. The stories will also be supported by a line of toys from Hasbro, including new ‘Adventure Figures’ – a...

Lucasfilm have put forward a trademark filing to the European Union Intellectual Property Office for “ Star Wars Forces of Destiny .” The Internet has gone red hot speculating that this is an accidental leak for the title of Star Wars Episode VIII .  What it is more likely to be is a title for a video game or mobile game. Lucasfilm and Disney have been doing this movie business for a number of decades now and it's unlikely that this is the name of Episode VIII, unless of course the 'leak' was intentional.  This would go against previous reveal strategies from Lucasfilm who usually reveal the title at a convention such as Star Wars Celebration. One piece of evidence that actually endorses the story of the title being the name of Episode VIII is the trademark that has been filed is one that will allow it to be used on multiple platforms such as CD, DVD, digital media, books and more.  So it does seem this will be a big title in the world of Star Wars. Time will t...
