Star Wars Resistance season 2 is happening and it's coming in Fall 2019. Here's everything you need to know...
Star Wars Resistance season 2 is set for liftoff, according to Disney. The show was renewed midway through the first season, which sees Kazuda Xiono, a young pilot turned Resistance spy, investigate a station called the Colossus and its connections to the First Order. Along the way, he makes a few friends and participates in high-stakes races with a pretty junky ship called the Fireball.
The show, which is set years after Return of the Jedi and just before The Force Awakens, has plenty of connections to Episode VII. The valiant Poe Dameron plays a supporting role on the show as Kazuda's mentor while Captain Phasma leads her forces in the days before her mission to Jakku. General Hux and Starkiller Base have also appeared on the series. As an extension of the Sequel Trilogy,...

Star Wars Resistance will live to fight another day. Disney Channel has ordered up a sophomore season of the animated Lucasfilm saga with a Fall 2019 premiere episode.
The first season of Star Wars Resistance resumes on Jan. 13 on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW with the ongoing adventures of Kazuda (“Kaz”) Xiono, the young pilot recruited by the Resistance for a top-secret spying mission to scout out the expanding threat presented by the First Order.
It was a busy morning for Resistance forces. The Star Wars YouTube page also released a new Star Wars Resistance mid-season trailer, which can be found below. The preview includes the first look at a major villain imported from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the 2015 theatrical juggernaut that piled up more than $2 billion in worldwide box office, the third highest total in Hollywood history.

An unfocused episode can’t decide whether it wants to be about an old character, a new character, or neither one at all.
This Star Wars Resistance review contains spoilers.
Star Wars Resistance Episode 8
“Synara’s Score,” for some reason, isn’t really about Synara. It’s about Tam. But it’s not really about Tam. Sure, she connects with Synara to the point that our mechanic tells her about what essentially trapped her, both on The Colossus and in life, but the information she reveals is fairly perfunctory.
Suzie McGrath sells Tam’s distraught backstory well enough, but there isn’t anything specific about it that’s revealed to really deepen the character. He father was a racer and she moved from planet to planet, like a military brat. She tried her hand at racing as well. She made a bet that she would win, and put her ship down as collateral.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas created a sci-fi franchise so vast and so enduring, new stories are still being told. The latest installment in that universe is Disney’s animated series “Star Wars Resistance,” which takes place between the events of “Return of the Jedi” and “The Force Awakens.”
In the series, New Republic pilot Kazuda Xiono (Christopher Sean) is recruited by Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) as a spy on Colossus, a massive refueling station on the ocean planet Castilon. While he works as a mechanic, he also gets involved racing the ace pilots who are defending the station.
“Resistance” isn’t just a retread of the same two-sided conflict story that’s been told before in “Star Wars,” and it both looks and feels different as well. Here’s a breakdown of how “Resistance” sets itself apart from the rest of the galactic franchise:

“Being an ace is not all fun and games, it can be dangerous.”
If you’ve ever wanted to see what Top Gun might be like in a galaxy far far way, Star Wars Resistance is going to give you that! We’ve got a wicked cool new extended trailer for the animated series for you to watch today and I think it gives us our best look yet at the series and the exciting fast-paced tone. I love what I’m seeing from this show and it’s going to be a blast!
The show revolves around a character named Kazuda Xiono, who is described as "a young pilot recruited by the Resistance whose mission is to spy on the growing threat of the First Order." We also knew that Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) would be a part of this new Star Wars adventure.

The Disney Channel has released the story details for the first five episodes on the upcoming animated series Star Wars Resistance. It’s revealed in the one of the synopsis that Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings) is set to be a guest star in the series, which is pretty cool! Now, Wood joins his Lotr co-star Dominic Monaghan in the galaxy far for away. Monaghan was recently cast in Star Wars: Episode IX.
He will be appearing in the episode titled “Fuel For The Fire” and he will provide the voice of a pilot named Jace Rucklin. Below you will find all the details for the first five episodes of Star Wars Resistance:
“The Recruit Parts 1&2”
(October 7th) X-wing pilot Kazuda Xiono is recruited for the Resistance, but finds himself in over his head when Poe Dameron assigns him to a remote fueling station to spy on the First Order.

I’ve got a great new featurette for Lucasfilm’s upcoming animated series Star Wars Resistance. It introduces us to a team of talented and daring pilots known as The Aces and in the process shows off a lot of cool new footage that offers us some insight into who these characters are and the role that they’ll play in the series. This team of pilots are hired to serve and protect the Colossus platform in the series. This is actually a group of fun and interesting characters. I’m pretty excited about this series and I like everything that I’ve seen from it so far!
When the show was first announced, we learned that it would revolve around a character named Kazuda Xiono, who is described as "a young pilot recruited by the Resistance whose mission is to spy on the growing threat of the First Order.

A new piece of poster art and a featurette have been released for Lucasfilm's upcoming animated series Star Wars Resistance and they highlight the new characters that will fill the story and make up Team Fireball. I also like the little tagline that comes with it: "Some Heroes Stick To The Plan. Others Just Wing It."
The Fireball team consists of, Jarek Yeager, former Rebellion pilot who is trying to live a quiet life as a mechanic. That all changes when Poe and Leia ask for his help; Tam Ryvora, a fellow mechanic who used to be a racer herself before she lost her ship. “She’s tough, no-nonsense, she kind of has attitude"; Neeku, a green naive alien, who is an "unbelievably positive, happy character"; and Bucket, a droid who has a thing for wearing X-wing fighter pilot helmets.
I enjoyed what I saw in the trailer that...

X-wings, fall in!
Disney and Lucasfilm have peeled back the tarpaulin on a shiny new banner image for Star Wars Resistance, and this one is all about assembling the next generation of fighter pilots.
Front and center here is Kazuda “Kaz” Xiono (voiced by Days of Our Lives alum Christopher Sean), the Resistance’s latest recruit who hopes to spy on the First Order and impress his commanding officer, who just so happens to be Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac).
Remember, this newfangled animated series takes place before The Force Awakens, meaning Poe is yet to cross paths with Finn and Rey. It opens up a fascinating avenue for Resistance to explore, too, and we know from Rebels and The Clone Wars that Lucasfilm tends to strike lucky when dabbling with animated adventures set within the Star Wars universe.
Will Star Wars Resistance uphold that trend? Who knows, but below you’ll see Kaz and Co.

“Can you imagine what it’s like to be an ace pilot?” Kazuda Xiono (“Kaz”) asks in the new trailer for Disney Channel’s upcoming animated show “Star Wars Resistance.” The adventure series will have a one-hour premiere on Sunday, Oct. 7 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt on Disney Channel, DisneyNOW, and Disney Channel VOD, with further airings on Disney Xd.
Audiences will follow Kaz and some familiar “Star Wars” faces as he does just that — become a top pilot, not to mention spying on the rising threat of the First Order for the Resistance.
In the hour-long premiere, Poe and Bb-8 assign Kaz to go undercover on the Colossus, a massive aircraft home to new aliens, droids, and other creatures. He makes new friends, like Poe’s old buddy Yeager, as well as a battered astromech droid called Bucket. With challenges like dangerous sky races and keeping his mission a secret from his newfound crew,...

The Resistance is afoot.
Ahead of its fall premiere on Disney Xd, the Mouse House has officially peeled back the curtain on Star Wars Resistance, the anime-inspired TV show which features the voices of Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie (and Bb-8!), the star-crossed duo who were previously seen at loggerheads during The Last Jedi.
For Resistance, though, Lucasfilm plans to roll back the years to a time before The Force Awakens, when budding X-wing pilot Kazuda Xiono mounts a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order.
Beyond that, little is known about the core plot, but today brings forth our first peek at the show’s ensemble cast – a cast that is naturally divided between the dark side and the light.

Disney and Lucasfilm are headed back in time with Star Wars Resistance, a new anime-inspired TV series due to air this fall on Disney Channel, before jetting over to Disney Xd for international viewers.
Featuring the voices of Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie (and Bb-8!), who were last seen at loggerheads during The Last Jedi, Resistance takes place prior to the events of The Force Awakens, and instead shifts the focus over to Kazuda Xiono, a “young pilot recruited by the Resistance and tasked with a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order.”
He’ll be whisked off on a high-flying adventure that will supposedly cater to the whole family, while there’s also word of “colorful new characters” to help flesh out what are essentially Kaz’s first steps in the Star Wars universe.
Details of a firm release date and/or episode count weren’t disclosed,...
