New Star Wars Resistance Video Introduces The Aces

With less than a month to go before the premiere of the latest entry in the animated series of the universe, Star Wars Resistance, Disney has released a new teaser for the series highlighting a new group of pilots known as “The Aces,” and can be viewed in the player below!

The high-flying adventure series — which takes place prior to the events of The Force Awakens and expands the Star Wars universe — follows Kazuda Xiono (“Kaz”), a young pilot recruited by the Resistance for a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order.

The Aces are the most seasoned veteran pilots in the series and know their reputation, with a few of the members acting more than just a little too confident in every situation. This experienced team and the oddball Team Fireball will find their missions aligning in big ways as the video also providing key hints surrounding the rise of the First Order and the appearance of Kylo Ren’s ship.

In the one-hour premiere titled “The Recruit,” Poe and BB-8 assign newly-appointed spy Kaz to the Colossus, a massive aircraft re-fueling platform on an outer rim water planet, home to colorful new aliens, droids, and creatures. While undercover, Kaz works as a mechanic and lives with Poe’s old friend Yeager, a veteran pilot who operates a starship repair shop run by his crew: Tam, Neeku, and their old battered astromech droid, Bucket. Kaz soon finds himself in over his head with his new 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.

The voice cast includes Christopher Sean (Days of Our Lives) as Kazudo Xiono; Suzie McGrath (East Enders) as Tam Ryvora; Scott Lawrence (Legion) as Jarek Yeager; Myrna Velasco (Elena of Avalor) as Torra Doza; Josh Brener (Silicon Valley) as Neeku Vozo; Donald Faison (Scrubs) as Hype Fazon; Jim Rash (Community) and Bobby Moynihan (DuckTales) as Flix and Orka, respectively; Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) as Poe Dameron; Gwendoline Christie (Game of Thrones) as Captain Phasma; and Rachel Butera (Tammy’s Tiny Tea Time) as General Leia Organa.
