We might have to wait until December next year for the latest live-action visit to the Star Wars universe, but the animated adventures are forcing no such wait. The latest sneak peek is online...
Set in the years before The Force Awakens, Resistance follows Kazuda Xiono, AKA Kaz (Christoper Sean), a young pilot recruited by the Resistance for a top-secret spy mission aboard a massive craft refuelling platform known as Colossus.
Going undercover, Kaz works as a mechanic and lives with Poe Dameron’s (Oscar Isaac) old friend Yeager (Scott Lawrence), a veteran pilot who operates a starship repair shop run by his crew: Tam (Suzie McGrath), Neeku (Josh Brener) and their old battered astromech droid, Bucket. Kaz soon finds himself in over his head with his newfound friend BB-8 as he’ll have to compete in dangerous sky races, keep his mission a secret from his newfound family, and avoid the danger of the First Order.
Gwendoline Christie voices Captain Phasma (who will hopefully have more to do in the series than she has in the movies) and on a more emotional level, Rachel Butera plays General Leia Organa.
The show, created by Dave Filoni, is set to premiere on 7 October on the Disney Channel.
