Forces of Destiny Review

Star Wars: The Forces of Destiny is an odd animated series when you consider that it features eight female leads across 56 years of Star Wars history. In the first four episodes alone we see Rey on Jakku, Leia on Endor, and Ahsoka on Coruscant.   If this series were aimed at adults, the audience would surely complain how confusing the timeline is. Fortunately, the series is aimed at kids, and kids don’t care about that stuff. I, as an adult, however do care and I have arranged the episodes in chronological order like some kind of OCD killjoy.

*56 Years Before The Force Awakens* - Ahsoka & Padme

Forces of Destiny gives Ahsoka fans plenty of love. Ashley Eckstein reprises her role as Ahsoka Tano, a character who doesn’t seem to go away- despite the fact that her TV series was cancelled and all her friends were wiped out in a purge.

Also reprising their characters from “The Clone Wars” are Catherine Taber as Padme Amidala , Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker and Tom Kane as Yoda.

Episodes:
-Teach You I Will (Ahsoka)
-The Imposter Inside (Ahsoka & Padme)
-The Padawan Path (Ahsoka)
-The Starfighter Stunt (Ahsoka & Padme)


*38 – 34 Years Before the Force Awakens * - Sabine, Ketsu, Jyn, Leia, & Hera

The next batch of episodes in the timeline of this show take place in the “Rebels” era and feature “Rebels” characters Sabine, Hera, and Ketsu. Although the real treat of this block of episodes is seeing Sabine’s crossover episodes with Leia in “Bounty of Trouble” and with Jyn Erso in “Accidental Allies”. 

Speaking of Jyn Erso, it just occurred to me that even though each of these episodes are about 3 minutes long, the ones with Jyn Erso feature 2 Academy Award nominated actresses. Felicity Jones (Jyn) was nominated for her role in “The Theory of Everything” and Lupita Nyong'o (Maz Kanata) won for “12 Years a Slave”.

Episodes:
-Newest Recruit (Sabine, Ketsu & Hera)
-Crash Course (Sabine, Ketsu & Hera)
-Accidental Allies (Sabine, Jyn & Hera)
-The Stranger (Jyn)
-Bounty of Trouble (Sabine & Leia)

*34 – 30 Years Before The Force Awakens* - Leia & Hera 

Leia, Han, and Chewie return for adventures and antics in these three episodes of “Forces of Destiny” which take place on Hoth and Endor. These comedic episodes are some of the best of the series.

Hera and Chopper make an appearance in “An Imperial Feast” which takes place after the Battle of Endor. So I guess that’s confirmation that at least two “Rebels” characters will survive Season 4. The interaction between Hera and Han is an especially nice treat.

Episodes:

-Beasts of Echo Base (Leia)
-Ewok Escape (Leia)
-An Imperial Feast (Leia & Hera)






* 0 Years Before The Force Awakens* - Rey

Daisy Ridley reprises her break-out character, Rey, in the final four “Forces of Destiny” episodes. There is no question that Rey is the heart of the new Star Wars trilogy and you can’t help but feel that these four episodes are the heart of this animated series. Spending a few more minutes with Rey is akin to Dewback Soup for the Star Wars soul. We also get a little bit of John Boyega as Finn in “Tracker Trouble”.

Episodes:
-The Happabore Hazard
-Sands of Jakku
-The BB-8 Bandits
-Tracker Trouble

Future of Destiny?

It isn’t clear whether there will be more episodes of this series produced. The next step for “The Forces of Destiny” seems to be a Comic Book miniseries that will be released in January of 2018. With more female characters being introduced in "The Last Jedi", there will certainly be more stories to tell.

For those who may have missed it, Maz Katana does appear in this series, though she's hard to find. Maz provides linking narration inter-spliced between each episode when you watch the Volume Collections on Youtube. Otherwise we only hear Maz's voice at the beginning of each episode.

“The Choices we Make,
The Actions we Take,
Moments Both Big and Small,
Shape us into Forces of Destiny"

Who is Doctor Aphra?

How did an up-and-coming expanded universe character become the lead for Marvel’s second most important Star Wars comic series? There’s something magical about Doctor Aphra that fans love. She is half Indiana Jones and half Mara Jade, and like Jade she has a dark streak to her. Aphra is a freelancer: not quite hero, not quite villain. She has become so popular with fans that she recently won a fan vote to become an actual Star Wars Hasbro action figure.

Aphra was introduced into the Disney canon in 2015. She was created by Kieron Gillen and Salva Larroca for the Marvel comic series “Darth Vader”. When “Darth Vader” finished its 25-issue run last year, Vader was removed from the series and it was rebooted as “Doctor Aphra”.

Kieron Gillen’s comic lines are important because both the “Darth Vader” series and the “Doctor Aphra” series have crossed over with the main Marvel “Star Wars” series. The first crossover was “Vader Down” in November of 2015 and the second was “The Screaming Citadel” in June of 2017. Aphra was heavily featured in both of these tent-pole crossover events. Kieron Gillen also wrote Doctor Aphra into the collection “From A Certain Point of View” which was another sign that Aphra is quickly becoming a popular character.

Aphra has Asian features (not that there is an Asia in the Star Wars galaxy) and it was revealed recently in the comics that Aphra is gay. Though we haven’t had any confirmed LGBT characters in the films yet, there are plenty in the new Expanded Universe, including Sana Starros and Sinjir Rath Velus. It is no secret that female characters have also quickly been taking over the Star Wars universe and while reading “The Screaming Citadel”, I can’t help but notice that Luke and Han have sort of taken back seat to the strong female characters.

One has to wonder how far Aphra could rise in the Expanded Universe or if she could ever, one day, appear in one of the films. We don’t really have any examples of Expanded Universe characters breaking into the films, but it has been recently announced that Tag Greenley and Bink Outauna will be appearing in "Solo: A Star Wars Story". Tag & Bink appeared in a non-canon line of comic books called “Tag & Bink are Dead”.

Really, anything could happen in a world where Disney is hammering out a Star Wars film every year. “Aphra: A Star Wars Story” has a pretty good ring to it.

The Battle of Yavin

What were Palpatine, Yoda, and Lando up to during the Battle of Yavin? Answers within:

When I started the ambitious project of reviewing each of the 40 stories in the collection “From a Certain Point of View”, I didn’t realize how ambitious it was. I’ve written over 5,000 words on this collection, which is certainly longer than many of the stories in the book itself. 

“Time of Death” by Cavan Scott
This story was advertised as Obi-Wan’s “Life after death”. I think fans were hoping to get Kenobi’s experience of actually being a dead Force Ghost, but that is not exactly what this story is about. Mostly there is a lot of flashbacks of Kenobi’s life, and some glimpses into the future (such as Old Luke standing on the Island on Ahch-To).

Much of the material covered is Obi-Wan living on Tatooine watching over Luke. Some of this has been covered in the comics, and some of it in John Jackson Miller’s non-canon book “Kenobi”. Although some elements here are similar to Miller’s book (the fact that Kenobi has an Eopie) noticeable changes have been made (The Eopie here is named Neda instead of Rooh). Maybe the message to fans is that some of the broad strokes of Miller’s “Kenobi” are accurate, but not all the details are exactly correct.

“There is Another” by Gary D. Schmidt
This might be my favorite story of this collection. The tale features Yoda on planet Dagobah, who has been hiding from the Empire for the better part of two decades. Yoda misses his students, his friends, his lightsaber. The most enlightening part of this tale is that Yoda’s dream is that one day he will train another padawan, specifically Leia Organa. This makes some sense because in “The Empire Strikes Back”, Yoda doesn’t want to train Luke and he refers to “another”, which we later find out is Leia. Yoda sees Leia as the more focussed and mature of the twins, whereas Luke is too emotional and brash, much like his father.

Yoda sees a bit of action in this tale and there are many Yoda-isms (as if the guy only has a hand-full of stock phrases that we heard in Empire Strikes Back). The strongest part of this tale is Yoda’s loneliness and his joy when he finally gets his friend back.

“Palpatine” by Ian Doescher
"Palpatine" is a Shakespearean-style poem written from Palaptine’s point of view. It was written by Ian Doesher, the author of the many Shakespearean Star Wars Novels. Even though I enjoy the concept of this tale, I find that many of the rhymes are quite a stretch, as if an eighth-grader were trying to turn Star Wars into Shakespeare. Kind of glad I haven’t spent any time or money on Doescher’s Shakespearean Star Wars books.

“Sparks” by Paul S. Kemp

The concept of this collection starts to strain in the latter quarter of this book. This strain is most apparent in the four stories dedicated to the Battle of Yavin. All four stories are told from the Point of View of Rebels and all four stories are remarkably similar to the point that we just get a retelling of the same story, only written by four different authors. Why this collection wouldn’t focus on the Trench Run from an Imperial point of view is a mystery… my assumption is that the editor gave the authors' too much choice in their “point of view” characters and too many authors picked similar characters. 

Of these four stories, the most useless is “Sparks”. The story focuses on Dex Tiree, a Y-Wing pilot that no Star Wars fan really cares about. I honestly can’t fathom why this tale exists.

“Duty Roster” by Jason Fry

This story has an interesting concept, but it is one that will be lost on 99.9% of Star Wars fans. Only a Star Wars Uber-Nerd who has spent the last five years writing a Star Wars blog is likely to get the inside joke, so I will attempt to explain it.

In the rebel briefing room scene there is a character that says “That’s impossible, even for a computer”. Apparently the script and novelization of "A New Hope" identifies this character as Wedge Antilles, although during the dogfight Wedge is portrayed by a totally different actor: Dennis Lawson (who also portrays Wedge in Empire and Jedi). At some point fans started referring to the actor in the briefing room scene as “Fake Wedge”.

“Fake Wedge” exists because an actor named Collin Higgins was hired to play Wedge Antillies, but kept flubbing his lines. Therefore, he was fired immediately after filming the briefing room scene and the role of dogfight Wedge was given to Dennis Lawson.

What "Duty Roster" artfully does is insinuate that Collin Higgin’s character is someone named Col Tak right, who has the nickname “Fake Wedge” among the pilots of Gold Squadron and Red Squadron. The story explains that a Mon Calamari officer who cannot tell humans apart, accidentally called Col, "Wedge".

“Fake Wedge” is not picked for the Death Star run mission, which angers him. It’s worth noting that the alliance has only 30 ships and too many pilots to fill those ships. How Luke Skywalker was picked as one of the X-Wing pilots over other rebel pilots is kind of perplexing, especially when you consider that he was chosen to be the wing-leader of Wedge and Biggs who are established Rebel Pilots.

Overall, this might be the strongest of the four “Trench Run” stories in this collection because of the character growth that "Fake Wedge" undergoes.

“Desert Son” by Pierce Brown

This is the same story as the previous two tales, it just focuses on Biggs. The story does note that Biggs and Wedge both defected from the Empire. A lot of Star Wars fans don’t realize that when Luke wants to join “The Academy” he is talking about the Imperial Academy. This is actually covered in the “Lost Tatooine Scenes” which were part of the original cut of “A New Hope”. Bottom line is that Luke was almost a Tie Fighter pilot.

“Grounded” by Greg RukaThis is an almost-interesting story by Greg Rucka about the Rebel maintenance chief. She has memorized the Statistics of all her pilots and during The Battle of Yavin she loses all of them (except for Wedge Antillies and Evaan Verlaine). Ultimately this tale is the fourth tale about the Battle of Yavin in this collection and the results are always the same… Death Star Go Boom.

“Contingency Plan” by Alexander Freed
This story describes Mon Mothma fleeing Yavin 4, prior to the Battle of Yavin. The story goes on to describe the many potential futures in which Mothma must face the consequences of her decisions. None of these futures are hopeful and as Mothma reflects on what is to become of her, she drafts a speech in which she will disavow her allegiance to the Rebellion.

“The Angle” by Charles Soule

Charles Soule wrote the limited comic series “Lando” and he really writes Lando better than anyone. This tale tells of Lando down on his luck in an illegal casino. It seems like Lando’s luck is about to turn around for the better when Imperials shut down the casino and Lando is rendered totally broke. Later, in a bar, Lando has spent his last credit when he sees something odd on the holovid. It’s a space battle. The Rebellion against the Empire. And in the middle of the battle he sees a ship… His Ship! The Millennium Falcon! As a gambler, Lando is quite perplexed why Han Solo would be betting on the Rebel Alliance. After all, it is the Empire who is “The House” and the game is rigged. “The House” always wins… doesn’t it?

“By Whatever Sun” by E. K. Johnston and Ashley Eckstein

Many authors of this collection chose to focus on a “pet character”. By "pet character" I mean, a character that they previously created for another one of their works.

For John Jackson Miller, it was A'Yark, the female Tusken warrior who originated in his book “Kenobi”.  For Kieron Gillen it is Doctor Aphra, who he created for his "Vader" comic line. For Ben Ackner and Ben Blacker it is TC-110, a stormtrooper who appears in their book “Escape from Vodron”.

E.K. Johnson and Ashley Eckstein chose to focus their tale on Miara Larte, who first appeared in the novel “Ahsoka”. I’m not gonna lie, "Ahsoka" was not only the worse Star Wars book I have read for a while, It’s the worse book, period. Miara Larte is a character who is instantly forgettable and who did not need to be brought back for further adventures.

The entirety of this tale takes place during the Medal Ceremony scene after the Battle of Yavin (as if we needed a story set during the Medal Ceremony)

“Whills” by Tom Angleberger

You may need to be a Uber-Geek to recognize the reference to “The Journal of Whills” in the final story in this collection. This journal dates back to Lucas’ original draft of Star Wars in which the journal has somehow made it out of the Star Wars galaxy and into our galaxy. That is how Earthlings know what transpired “A Long Time Ago… In A Galaxy Far, Far, Away”.

As recently as 2005, Lucas stated that it was his intention that R2-D2 would record the journal long after the Skywalker adventures had finished, similar to how Bilbo Baggins is writing his journal in “The Hobbit”.

The name Whills pops up again in Rogue One where we see “The Guardians of Whills” on Jedha whose members include Chirrut and Baze.

For the purposes this collection, “Whills” is a comical story in which a "Keeper of Whills" is attempting to record his tale when another "Keeper" comes along and asks why he is starting with the Rebellion against the Empire? Why isn’t he starting with The Clone Wars and Jar Jar? The two "Keepers" bicker for a while about the best place to starts and eventually there is some off-hand references to the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. This is a short tale and a fun way to end this collection.

Words, Words, Words
It seems for every Star Wars book I read, there is another Star Wars book I haven’t read. Which is okay, the entire point of Star Wars novels is to keep us entertained until another movie comes along.

Not long now, my friends…

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, & Alderaan

In the film “A New Hope” viewers see a single shot of Alderaan before it is obliterated. They also get a short description from Princess Leia that it is peaceful and has no weapons and Ben Kenobi saying that, “Millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced,”

Fans have heard all this before, and are probably quite numb to the fact that The Empire has just wiped out an entire planet. That is why the following stories are quite important. These tales remind us of the individual people who were affected by the Death Star and the individual people who actually made the decision: the decision to blow up Alderaan.

The middle stories of the collection "From A Certain Point of View" ask some very tough questions about the destruction of Alderaan and some dark themes emerge.

"Laina” by Wil Wheaton

Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher from Star Trek) has contributed quite a bit to Geek Culture in the past 30 years. But this is the first time he has written for Star Wars.

“Laina” seems to be a simple story at first. A father (a rebel) is making a video recording for his baby daughter. He tells her of her mother’s death. He tells her of the Rebellion Against the Empire. He tells her that he is making the recording because he might not make it. He tells her that she is going to a safe place.

The story seems simple as first, but the twist ending is as terrible as anything I’ve read since “Cujo”. It will make the reader’s eyes bulge out in panic and think “No! No! This can’t be what is happening!”

Kudos to Wil Wheaton for making me feel such a raw emotion and terror- the way everyone should probably feel about super weapons.

"Fully Operational" by Beth Revis

General Tagge sees what his superiors do not. The Rebellion is dangerous. The Death Star is a step too far. The Rebellion will continue to gain sympathy and support among the common folk of the galaxy. The Death Star is not indestructible.

General Tagge is able to see all this because he is young compared to the old proud Admirals and Moffs that have already won their Clone Wars and are ready for retirement. Tagge comes in with a healthy dose of skepticism, maybe it is this that skepticism leads to his survival while his superiors perish.

This story is basically a rehash of the Imperial Staff Meeting from “A New Hope”. The fact that Tagge survives the Death Star, was established in the comic series “Darth Vader”. Why Tagge wasn’t on the Death Star when it exploded is explored further down in this article.

"An Incident Report" by Mallory Ortberg

This story is simply an incident report filled out by Admiral Motti after he was force choked by Darth Vader. Motti tries to address the incident as reasonably as possible, but the reader gets the sense that Motti’s reasonableness will be ignored by high command.

Oddly enough “Conan Antonio Motti” received his first and middle name on the set of Conan O’Brien. In 2007, O’Brien asked Lucas what Motti’s first name was and I guess Lucas’ on-the-fly response was "Conan Antonio". But how Lucas came up with the name… Conan… is a mystery for another day.

"Change of Heart" by Elizabeth Wein

Told from a “second person” point of view, the reader assumes the role of an Imperial Navy Trooper who witnesses the torture / interrogation of Princess Leia and then the destruction of Alderaan. The trooper is able to see things that Vader and Tarkin cannot, namely that Leia is lying about the Rebels being on Datooine. Eventually the trooper has a “change of heart” about his position in the galaxy. Get it? It's in the title.

"Eclipse" by Madeleine Roux

This story is told from the point of view of Breha Organa. This character may not sound familiar, but she is one of the oldest Star Wars characters. Breha was first envisioned in 1974 as the mother of Princess Leia. Lucas resurrected Breha for “Revenge of the Sith” and she appeared onscreen briefly at the end of the film.

“Eclipse” tells the story of Bail’s return to Alderaan and the bad news he carries with him: the fact that Leia is missing. Breha and Bail have little time together before The Death Star appears in the skies above. Breha attempts to start an evacuation, but by then it is too late.

"Verge of Greatness" by Pablo Hidalgo

17 years ago, Pablo Hidalgo was a Star Wars fanboy like the rest of us. He ran a Star Wars index called echostation.com where he would sometimes post his fan art. Today, however, Pablo Hidalgo has more power over Star Wars than anyone.

Hidalgo is Lucasfilm’s creative executive in story development. He is famous for maintaining the Canon of Star Wars, making sure everything is consistent. But he also carries out the development of every single Star Wars project- which means he is constantly juggling films, books, comics, video games.

Hidalgo’s contribution to this collection centers on Wilhuff Tarkin. Tarkin famously did not evacuate the Death Star in “A New Hope” and fans can guess why.  Not only is Tarkin overconfident in the technological terror he has constructed, he is quite married to it. Tarkin is seen overlooking the very beginnings of the Death Star in the final moments of “Revenge of the Sith”, which means he has been working on the project for nearly 20 years.

This story also focuses on Tarkin’s relationship to Orson Krennic (the villain of Rogue One) and explains why Tarkin finds Krennic lacking.

"Far Too Remote" by Jeffrey Brown

Jeffrey Brown is a cartoonist who is most famous for the “Darth Vader and Son” series and the “Jedi Academy” series. Consumers of the audio version of the collection “From a Certain Point of View” will not even be aware that this story is in the book.

“Far Too Remote” consists of a single panel depicting Cassio Tagge arriving on Dantooine to find an abandoned “Rebul Base”. Well, this solves the mystery of why Tagge wasn’t on the Death Star when it blew up, and it feeds directly into the next story.

"The Trigger" by Kieron Gillen

It was an amazing surprise to discover that Doctor Aphra, gets her own story in this collection. Doctor Aphra first appeared in the “Darth Vader” comic series which eventually evolved into her own comic series.

Aphra is an intergalactic archeologist and is the "Indiana Jones" of the Star Wars universe. Aphra is a fun character and this is a fun story, but there are still serious themes here. Aphra questions exactly how the Empire was able to blow up an entire planet. Who pulled the trigger? Was it similar to a firing squad, where many people pull many triggers, so that no one had to live with the guilt? What kind of person could pull that trigger any way?

In this story Aphra finds herself at the wrong end of a trigger. Her life hangs in balance as she tries to reason with the person holding a blaster to her head. What kind of person is he? Is he the kind who can pull the trigger? Furthermore, what kind of person is she?

"Of MSE-6 and Men" by Glen Weldon

MSE-6 is a mouse droid on the Death Star. MSE-6 is having a bad day. His master TK-421 was not at his post. It turns out TK-421 was murdered by a smuggler, a farm-boy, an old man, and a wookiee.

I’ll give this story points for effort. The narration is told through the head of MSE-6, whose thoughts are shown here in very basic computer code. Somehow MSE-6 becomes the unintentional messenger between TK-421 and an unnamed Imperial officer, who start to form a romance whilst they pass messages back and forth through the mouse droid.

Overall this tale tries to do too much and the results are truly bizarre. The finished product is truly a mess and in the end the most clever thing about this tale is probably its title.

"Bump" by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker

Stormtrooper TD-110 is probably the most famous trooper in fandom, and we didn’t even know it until now. Not only is he the Sandtrooper that was brainwashed by Ben Kenobi and tricked into stating, “Move along. Move along,” he is also the Stormtrooper that bumped his helmet on a Death Star blast door.

The other Sandtrooper story in this collection “Born in the Storm” featured a Sandtrooper sick of his job and ready to leave the Empire. But in this story, TD-110 is the opposite. He wants nothing but to serve his Empire, but cannot stand the singe mistake he has made- letting Kenobi, Luke and the droids go.

I guess that mistake gets him thrown off of the Death Star because TD-110 reappears in The First Order years later and is featured in the junior novel “Join the Resistance: Escape From Vodran” which is also written by Ben Ackner and Ben Blacker

"End of Watch" by Adam Christopher

This tale tells the story of a slightly disgruntled station commander aboard the Death Star during the search for Luke, Leia, Chewie, and Han. This is not the first story in this collection about a slightly disgruntled Imperial and after a while, it all just gets boring. I mean who kriffing cares about these people? Just because a character might exist and just because an author can write about that character- it doesn’t mean the result is going to be a story. “End of Watch” is not a story, Adam Christopher. A story needs rising action and some sort of climax. The words you have come up with form sentences and those sentences form paragraphs, but shouldn’t story-telling be more than that?

"The Baptist" by Nnedi Okorafor

One learns many things about dianoga in this tale. Dianoga are from the planet Vodran. Dianoga have seven tentacles. Dianoga are hermaphroditic and are able to choose their gender. The Dianoga that attacked Luke Skywalker in the garbage compactor was named Omi. Omi was force sensitive.

When I say Omi was force sensitive, I don’t mean that she had a lightsaber or could levitate things with her mind. But Omi did receive visions of the future. It was these visions, more than anything, that led her to attack Luke Skywalker in the trash compactor, although to Omi, this attack is more of a ritual. That moment for Luke, as much as anything he experienced after leaving his tiny moisture farm, was a sort of baptism- in which he became a new person.

I know that a force wielding dianoga seems kind of silly and unnecessary, but in the end all that matters is whether or not the story works as a story. This one does. Kudos to Nnedi Okorafor for making us care about this seven-tentacled creepy crawler.

Until Next Time

Now that I am 75% of the way through this book, I can’t wait to read the last 25%. Not all these stories are winners, but there is enough good stuff to keep a reader interested. Happy Reading Star Wars fans.
