The Disney Channel has premiered the first look trailer at its newest branch of Star Wars adventures, Star Wars: Resistance.
The series will concentrate on introducing a few new faces to the saga which is set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. However, at least four familiar faces of Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), and BB-8 along with General Leia – who is to be voiced by Rachel Butera – will be making an appearance.
Also lending their voices to the series are Donald Faison, Jim Rash, Bobby Moynihan and Myrna Velasco and Rachel Butera. The animated saga is created by Lucasfilm Animation veteran Dave Filoni and executive produced by Athena Portillo, Justin Ridge and Brandon Auman.
Set months before the events of ‘The Force Awakens,’ the series follows Kazuda ‘Kaz’ Xiono (Christopher Sean), a young pilot recruited by the Resistance for a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order.
He’s appointed to the Colossus, a massive aircraft re-fueling platform on an outer-rim water planet that’s home to colourful new aliens, droids and creatures. While undercover, Kaz works as a mechanic and lives with Poe Dameron’s 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.
