Unfortunately, Star Wars Force of Destiny is a North American only release at this point. I know of several fans outside North America that are itching to watch this series and there is some hope that the wait will not be long for them. Based on the press release, there will be global product extensions for this animated series including books, apparel, bedding, as well as Hasbro adventure figures & role play items that will be available starting August 1st 2017. Therefore, I believe fans outside North America will soon hear about release dates for their areas!

In the meantime, check out the preview that features content from the first eight Star Wars Forces of Destiny animated shorts available here!

Even though I am not the target demographic for this series, more stories about Rey, Jyn Erso, Princess Leia, Sabine Wren, Padmé Amidala and Ahsoka Tano are just what I have been looking for!
