Disney and Hasbro are teaming up for a new Star Wars venture focused on the female characters of the Star Wars Universe (probably as much a reaction to the #whereisrey controversy that blew up about the merchandising for Force Awakens as anything else, but the net result looks really cool).
Disney/Lucasfilm will produce a series of 3-5 minute animated shorts airing ontheir youtube channel this summer featuring new adventures of some of the heroines of the Star Wars Universe, Padme, Leia, Ray, Jyn Erso, Asoka, Sabine, Hera and others. Hasbro will produce line of toys/dolls along the lines of Disney Descendants/Mattel's Monster High and the recent Wonder Woman movie line in terms of scale and style.
Looks like Dave Filoni (of Clone Wars and Rebels) will be one of the executive producers and the stories are supposedly cannon.
The full announcement will be at Celebration this weekend, by EW had an advance look...

toy previews...
prices on these are in line with the Wonder WOman line I just got, $19.99 for standard figures, $24.99-$29.99 for deluxe figures (with accessories, droids, or change of clothes) or deluxe figures (like Chewie).
When I showed my wife this, she looked at me and told me I better start saving my toy money, because we're getting these.
