Disney’s next animated Star Wars show just got its first trailer, and
it’s looking like a light-hearted adventure about becoming a resistance
pilot. As originally announced earlier this year, Resistance is being
helmed by Clone Wars and Rebels veteran Dave Filoni and stars Kazuda
Xiono, a emotive newbie who seems a little over his head.
The show’s one-hour premiere — which will air on Disney Channel,
DisneyNOW, and Disney Channel VOD, with subsequent airings on Disney XD,
on October 7th — kicks off at the start of Xiono’s mission to spy on
the First Order on a planet full of new aliens. Xiono — who bears an
uncanny resemblance to Bolin from The Legend of Korra — happens to live
with a friend of Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac voices), so you should expect
to see some familiar faces mixed in with totally new characters. The
resourceful BB-8, for example, seems to be Xiono’s companion throughout
his adventures, which are set before the events of The Force Awakens.
Based on the trailer, it looks like Resistance will be defined in part
by its distinctive cel-shaded animation style inspired by anime. Once
Disney’s streaming service finally gets up and running — the estimate is
now at late 2019 — Resistance will be joined by the live-action series
from Jon Favreau that was announced last fall, as well as the return of
The Clone Wars, an additional 12-episode arc that got a surprise reveal
at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
