Star vs. the Forces of Evil is an American animated science fiction television series produced by Disney Television Animation.[4] The series previewed on January 18, 2015 on Disney Channel and premiered March 30, 2015 on Disney XD.[1] The first images were shown in the Mercury Filmworks 2014 Demo Reel.[5]

The show was created by Daron Nefcy (

Plot

After having skirmished with a number of dangerous monsters on her home dimension of Mewni, Star Butterfly is sent to Earth by her parents. She arrives in the town of Echo Creek to live with the Diaz family. Rather than living a normal life, Star (along with Marco Diaz) continues to battle villains throughout the universe and in their high school, mainly to protect her extremely powerful wand (an object that she has still yet to master) from falling into the hands of Ludo.

Characters

Main characters

  • Princess Star Butterfly (voiced by Eden Sher) - A magical teenage princess from the alternate dimension of Mewni who is sent to Earth to live with the Diaz family after using her family's prized wand to fight various monsters. She is shown as extremely opposite to what princesses should be like, as she fights monsters and gets overexcited. Using the wand, any thing she thinks, it creates, though she still has yet to master it. She isn't quite used to customs on Earth, so Marco helps her.[6] Star is also shown to have a fear of being sent to St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses.
  • Marco Diaz (voiced by Adam McArthur) - The teenage son of the Diaz family. When Star arrives on Earth, she takes Marco on adventures to fight evil villains.
