New ‘Forces Of Destiny’ Short Features Qi’ra Facing Off Against A Famous Bounty Hunter (No, Not That One)
IfSolo: A Star Wars Storyproves anything, it’s that we can’t get enough of brunette British ladies kicking butt and taking names — all while wearing some fabulous capes. Unfortunately, Qi’ra isn’t wearing her glamorous wardrobe in this newForces of Destinyanimated short, but she is kicking quite a bit of bounty hunter butt.
Forces of Destiny Qira Short
The latestForces of Destinyshort gives us even more ofEmilia Clarke’s character Qi’ra, as well as a certain bounty hunter that first appeared inThe Empire Strikes Back. No, it’s not the inexplicably beloved Boba Fett (we’ll seeplenty of himin the future), but the robot IG-88.
The short shows Qi’ra on the run from the notorious Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka, who for some reason, has his sights set on Qi’ra and the bounty on her head. Hondo has teamed up with IG-88 to capture Qi’ra, but both of them are outsmarted by the wily Qi’Ra and trudge off in chains to be turned in for the hefty bounties ontheirheads.
Here is the synopsis for theForces of DestinyQi’ra short:
Hondo teams up with bounty hunter droid IG-88 to capture Qi’ra, but she outsmarts both her pursuers by pitting them against each other so that she can collect the bounty on them.
My favorite thing about this short is that, in an effort to differentiate her from threeotherbrunette women who have headlined theStar Warsfilms, thisshort gives Qi’ra heavy eyeshadow and aserious case of Dreamworks face. At least her eyebrows are true to Clarke’s impressively bushy brows.
Like manyForces of Destinyshorts, the short itself has little to do with Qi’ra’sSolostoryline and probably won’t feature any major developments in theStar Warssaga. But it’s still pretty darn fun.
