Star vs. the Forces of Evil was officially picked up for a fourth season earlier this year, but now fans at SDCC have finally seen what that fourth season is going to look like—and for all you fans not in San Diego this week, Paste has the first look:
The last time we saw Princess Star Butterfly, she was handing the magical key to the Mewni kingdom over to Queen Eclipsa. She had to; she had just learned that her ancestors had stolen the throne from Eclipsa’s line by encasing the monster-loving Queen Eclipsa in crystal, handing the half-monster, half-mewman baby Princess Meteora off to a robot nanny to be raised in self-hating isolation, and plucking a nobody mewman baby from the peasantry to take Meteora’s magical royal place.
As can be seen in the clip above, it turns out that Star Butterfly doesn’t need her wand to perform her adorably destructive battle spells after all—all she needs is her two hands, and her best friend, Marco, fighting at her side. Which is lucky, because it looks like Star’s compassionate decision to answer for a generations-old injustice has resulted in a Mewni overruled by darker impulses than it can stand.
