Finn and Han Solo to Appear in New ‘Forces of Destiny’ Episodes

The new animated series of shorts Star Wars: Forces of Destiny might focus on female heroes in the world of Star Wars, but this doesn’t preclude iconic male heroes from making appearances in upcoming installments. Jedi News reports the latest issue of Star Wars Insider reveals that in upcoming installments, both Han Solo and Finn will make appearances, with John Boyega voicing the character he brought to life in The Force Awakens.

Lucasfilm Story Group member Carrie Beck divulged the details about the upcoming series in the article, and while she pointed out Boyega’s involvement, she did not reveal who could potentially be voicing Han.

Debuting earlier this year, Forces of Destiny told stories centering on Rey, Jyn Erso, and Leia, with Daisy Ridley and Felicity Jones lending their talents to their respective characters.

Writer Jennifer Muro recently confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that new episodes would be coming to Disney XD and along with them, new characters and voice talent.

“It’s been announced that we’ll see Hera [from Star Wars Rebels], which will be great,” Muro said. “I think people will enjoy seeing the characters in the second season.”

Of the talent involved with the series, Muro explained, “It was thrilling that they wanted to be involved, and Lupita [Nyong’o] as well. It was so nice to have them with the TV actors and the voice actors — it brings the worlds together in a way I didn’t expect. It gives it more legitimacy, but beyond it being legitimate, it’s just wonderful for people who weren’t paying attention to go, ‘Oh, that’s surprising that [the movie cast] is doing that,’ and it brings more attention to what we’re trying to accomplish. It was nice to have them in the mix.”

Star Wars: Forces of Destiny returns in October.

Rey, Ahsoka Tano, Jyn Erso, Princess Leia, Sabine Wren, and other icons of a galaxy far, far away will take center stage in Star Wars Forces of Destiny — a new animated micro-series and initiative celebrating some of Star Wars’ most beloved and inspirational characters. Announced by Disney and Lucasfilm today, Star Wars Forces of Destiny launches in July with a series of animated shorts (2-3 minutes each) on Disney YouTube, exploring all-new adventures of the fan-favorites.
