Welcome to the Resistance! A new era of Star Wars animation has begun with "The Recruit," the two-part series premiere of Star Wars Resistance.

Episode: "The Recruit"
Original Air Date: October 7, 2018
Supervising Director: Justin Ridge
Story: Dave Filoni
Directors: Steward Lee and Saul Ruiz
Writer: Brandon Auman

The Basics

Poe Dameron assigns the gifted but green Resistance pilot Kazuda "Kaz" Xiono to an undercover mission: he will pose as a racer on the Colossus, a massive refueling platform on the Outer Rim ocean planet Castellon. Sources tell the Resistance that someone on Castellon is helping the First Order, and Kaz must find out who it is. On the Colossus, Kaz meets Yeager, Tam, Neeku, and their trusty, slightly rusty astromech, Bucket -- together, they form Team Fireball, named for Kaz's ship.

Meet Kaz - Resistance Rewind

Introducing: Bucket's List

Bucket's List Extra

A T-85 X-wing in Star Wars Resistance.

  • The X-wings in the opening sequence are the T-85 model -- the latest version of the craft first introduced as the T-65 in the original Star Wars. The X-wings seen in the Resistance are a slightly older model, the T-70.

Kaz in his X-wing cockpit in Star Wars Resistance.
  • Early notes about Kaz’s character describe him as “like a bird, hopping around clumsily on the ground, but put him in the air and he is awesome.”

Vonreg's TIE fighter in Star Wars Resistance.
  • Hyperdrive-equipped TIE fighters were a rarity in the days of the Galactic Empire, but the current technology of the First Order makes it possible, especially in high-end models like Major Vonreg’s ship.

Kaz in his X-wing cockpit in Star Wars Resistance.
  • The New Republic crest was first described in the Aftermath series of novels; this is its first on-screen appearance.

A race around the Colossus in Star Wars Resistance.
  • Greg Proops returns to Star Wars to voice a race announcer, but it’s not the two-headed announcer from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace’s podrace. Although the voice is the same, it’s more akin to a copycat invoking a classic announcer style.

Torra Doza racing stats from Star Wars Resistance.
  • Torra Doza’s stats, translated from Aurebesh, list the following:
    • Time in Top 5 - 100%
    • Challenge Rate - 87%
    • Finishes - 100%
    • Wins - 100%
    • Wins By Disqualification - 100%
    • Top Speed - 92%


Someone cleans outside Flix and Orca's shop in Star Wars Resistance.
  • The sign outside the shop that Flix and Orka run identifies it as “OFFICE OF ACQUISITIONS.”

Kaz and a gorg in Star Wars Resistance.
  • Gorgs were first introduced in the Mos Espa street market sequence of The Phantom Menace. A hapless Jar Jar Binks tried to eat a gorg from an angry vendor without paying for it first.
