Alright, admittedly, this isn’t the best possible photo. It’s at an odd angle and taken from a distance. That said, this not-too-clear image provides us with our first look at the characters on the show. It also reveals the presence of a red stormtrooper from the First Order. As previouslyreported,Star Wars Resistanceis an anime-inspired series set prior toStar Wars: The Force Awakens, and will feature appearances fromForce Awakenscharacters like Poe Dameron and Captain Phasma.
Force AwakensandLast JediactorsOscar IsaacandGwendoline Christiewill both return to voice the characters they’ve played in live-action. BB-8 appears is also in the series, and you can make out the droid in the image above. You can also see a character who kind of looks like Poe in the background, and a character I’m assuming is Phasma on the left-hand side with the red stormtrooper.Star Wars Resistance’s voice cast includesChristopher Sean(Days of Our Lives),Suzie McGrath(East Enders),Scott Lawrence(Legion),Myrna Velasco(Elena of Avalor),Josh Brener(Silicon Valley),Donald Faison(Scrubs),Bobby Moynihan(DuckTales),Jim Rash(Community) andRachel Butera(Tammy’s Tiny Tea Time).Star Wars Resistancehails fromDave Filoni, creator of the animatedStar Wars Rebels. “The idea forStar Wars Resistancecame out of my interest in World War II aircraft and fighter pilots,” Filon said. “My grandfather was a pilot and my uncle flew and restored planes, so that’s been a big influence on me. There’s a long history of high-speed racing in Star Wars, and I think we’ve captured that sense of excitement in an anime-inspired style, which is something the entire team has been wanting to do for a long time.”
In addition to the image above, we now have a better idea of when the show will make its debut: October. At least, that’s according to this tweet from a Disney France employee.
It’s only a matter of time before Disney announces the official date in October thatStar Wars Resistancewill premiere.
