Preview

Set six months before the events of The Force Awakens, Star Wars Resistance tells the story of rookie New Republic pilot Kazuda Xiono (voiced by Christopher Sean), who is recruited by Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) to become a spy for the Resistance.

The show boasts a really impressive voice cast.

Other characters include Hype Fazon (Donald Faison), the leader of the Ace Squadron; Orka (Bobby Moynihan) and Flix (Jim Rash), who run a parts supplier shop on the Colossus; Jack Rucklin (Elijah Wood), a fellow pilot; Jarek Yeager (Scott Lawrence), the owner of the repair shop that Kaz joins; and Tam Ryvora (Suzie McGrath) and Neeku Vozo (Josh Brener), fellow mechanics in the shop.

Those who have already gotten a look at the first hour of Resistance have offered positive reviews. From The A.V. Club’s William Hughes:

This is still a kids’ series first and foremost, albeit one that takes its storytelling responsibilities seriously. But as an examination of what day-to-day life looks like out on the fringes of the galaxy, it has a lot to offer. In the past, Star Wars has only ever given us brief glimpses of what it’s like to pass through any given hive of scum and villainy (even one that’s been sanitized for kids’ TV). Resistance seems ready to give the little guy his shot, and for a franchise that’s always loved an underdog, it’s an idea that arrives with a lot of force.

Resistance was created by Dave Filoni, the mind behind Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.

“The idea for Star Wars Resistance came out of my interest in World War II aircraft and fighter pilots,” said Filoni. “My grandfather was a pilot and my uncle flew and restored planes, so that’s been a big influence on me. There’s a long history of high-speed racing in Star Wars, and I think we’ve captured that sense of excitement in an anime-inspired style, which is something the entire team has been wanting to do for a long time.”

Resistance premieres with a two-part, one-hour episode “The Recruit”, while the following episodes are titled “The Triple Dark,” “Fuel for the Fire” and “The High Tower.”
