Animated Shorts Official Star Wars: Forces of Destiny Discussion Thread

Oh!
Did Hera let Leia listen in over a community about their exchange?

 

Hera is Snoke. This episode confirms it.

 

Loved the Endor episode w/ Han & Hera! The others fell a bit flat when it comes to the new episodes in volume 2. There is a bit too much passing of data discs between rebels. I enjoyed it with Leia & Sabine, but now its a bit much with Jyn and Ketsu. If the shorts continue, I hope the stories become more interesting...

 

The Crash Course short wasn't on the Disney channel.

 

Like that hint of Sabine's theme at the start.

 

I made it through 3 of these. No more.

 

I get really distracted by the streak of color over every character's nose which i'm going to assume is part of the artist's style. Why?

 

I'd forgotten to watch them originally, but last night I added Forces of Destiny to my TCW rewatch. The two eps before Heroes On Both Sides were helpful re: the time jump. I've no serious opinion re: the other two TCW-related eps. I hope there are more TCW-related eps, especially from the "cancelled" time period!

 

Tumblr.

Not even once.

 

Forces of Destiny are probably my favourite Star Wars animated series. Really fun and I enjoy little 'lore' content, which helps define each era a little bit more.

 

Just some FOD news. It features a sample of a new comic.

I saw this new Leia FOD doll at a local Gamestop. It appears to be a limited edition selling for upwards of $50.

 

The dolls seem to be going clearance everywhere, I think they overestimated how much FOD would sell... I just hope they still come out with Ahsoka, because if not I am going to be sad.

 

Yeah I've noticed that the prices have been reduced. Amazon still lists the Ahsoka doll coming out at the end of this month. I'm not sure if the price featured there will eventually go down.

 

I bought Sabine at Walmart for $9 the other day. Going to pick up Rey and Jyn soon, too. I think these figures are great, love the packaging and design. I hope they make more characters for the line like Anakin.

 

It looks like some FOD dolls going forward will have reduced articulation to drop the pricepoint, as they don't seem to be moving well enough at the MSRP:

There are images of the first couple of limited articulation dolls, probably 5 POA, like a Barbie or something similar. Shame they aren't doing any in 3.75 scale, as I prefer the small figures.

 

I have not been keeping up with the cartoons, but YAY for Kneesaa!!! So excited, I loved her in the Ewok cartoons. I may need to get the Wicket set now... and I know these will have limited articulation but are they still shipping the Padme and Ahsoka figures as is?

 

I'd say she'll absolutely appear in the series, otherwise producing a toy geared toward a young audience would be a bit risky, considering her last appearance on TV was in the 80s. Kneesaa had a regular realistic action figure in a multipack years ago, which did well, but that of course was more collector oriented:

 

Is it just me, or are they missing, THE MOST FAMOUS EWOK OF THEM ALL (to the tune of Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer)....

 

I've totally lost track at how many of these shorts they've made. I saw the one special (but apparently there were two?), and a few on youtube. Does anyone have a definitive list of shorts?
