Meet The Cast Of Star Wars Resistance In New Video Featurette

A new video featurette for the upcoming Star Wars Resistance series has debuted on the official Star Wars YouTube channel. Running for just over three minutes, the featurette introduces us to the main characters of the show and their respective voice actors, and can be viewed below.

Star Wars Resistance takes place six months before the events of The Force Awakens, and will focus on Team Fireball, a team running a repair shop on a currently unidentified ocean planet. The main protagonist will be Kazuda Xiono, a talented and fun-loving pilot tasked with spying on the First Order. Actor Christopher Sean said in the featurette that Kaz is good at flying but not at spying, which begs the question of why he was chosen for the job in the first place, but we’ll probably just have to watch the show to find out.

Resistance will also include Scott Lawrence as Jarek Yeager, a retired Rebel pilot from the First Galactic Civil War who serves as Kaz’s father figure, Suzie McGrath as Tam Ryvora, a former racer, and Josh Brener as Neeku Vozo, an intelligent but socially awkward member of the Nikto species. Although they did not appear in the featurette, Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie will reprise their respective roles from the films as Poe Dameron and Captain Phasma.

Created by Star Wars animation maestro Dave Filoni, Star Wars Resistance will debut on the Disney Channel on October 7, before airing regularly on Disney XD. Fans are also hoping that the series will finally reveal Snoke’s backstory, although we might have to look in another galaxy for that.
