Recently at Star Wars Celebration, a new line of toys, books and animated shorts has been announced. This new series is called Forces of Destiny and it will focus specifically on the women of Star Wars. Characters that will get their own new adventures include Leia Organa, Ahsoka Tano, Padmé Amidala, Sabine Wren, Jyn Erso and Rey.

Forces of Destiny will launch in July with new animated shorts that will each be only a few minutes long. They will launch on Disney's YouTube channel, showing new scenes and adventures that will be a canon part of the Star Wars universe. There will also be a two-part TV special on Disney Channel in the fall of this year.

Forces of Destiny will have a star-studded cast as actresses Daisy Ridley (Rey) and Felicity Jones (Jyn) will voice the new animated versions of their characters. Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka) and Tiya Sircar (Sabine) will also be reprising their roles. Padmé will be voiced by Catherine Taber, the voice actress that voiced her in The Clone Wars CGI animated series. The animated shorts will be narrated by Lupita Nyong'o, reprising her role as Maz Kanata. Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, has stated that Forces of Destiny will, "capture the small moments and everyday decisions that shape who these characters are. It is a fun new way for people to experience Star Wars."

Hasbro will launch a line of toys to accompany the new series. The new dolls are 11 inches tall and are able to move like action figures while also having an appearance more like traditional dolls than the typical action figure. Some dolls will come with smaller figures, such as a Leia doll that comes with an Ewok and an Ahsoka doll that comes with a Loth-cat. Supporting characters from the shorts will also have dolls, such as Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker. Hasbro will also release role-play items and accessories, such as Rey's staff.

Plenty of more products are on the way, including books based on the new adventures. The first volume is set to be released on the first of August and the second will be out in October.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
