Star Wars: Forces of Destiny - The Imposter Inside

Star Wars Sunday takes us back to another Star Wars: Forces of Destiny short. Set some time before the events of Rise of the Sith, we get a team-up of prequel characters when, while visiting Amidala (Catherine Taber), Ahsoka (Ashley Eckstein) notices something amiss leading to the discovery of an assassin working towards disrupting negotiations. There as some continuity issues here with Ahsoka feeling far to old for the story, but the pair are fun together taking down the assassin Cato Parasitti (Gina Torres).

The exact timing of “Run Rey Run” is a little unclear, but it does take place sometime before the events of The Force Awakens. We get another appearance by Teedo, a common antagonist for Rey (Daisy Ridley) in these shorts, who attempts to steal scavenged items from the derelict Star Destroyer from Rey only succeeding in bringing an entire section on the ship down on their heads. Rey saves both the tech and her adversary who reluctantly watches Rey speed away with the goods.

Set during The Force Awakens and after the previous short, “BB-8 Bandits” gives us the return of the scavenger Teedo and his associate attempting to reacquire the droid Rey (Daisy Ridley) saved from him in the film. Rey rescues the droid again, this time making use of her new friend the nightwachter worm to prevent Teedo from coming after them again. Not quite as strong as the first short, but it does build upon what it introduced and produce some fun moments for Star Wars fans.
