Lead character Kazuda Xiono ( Christopher Sean) is introduced as an aspiring ace fighter pilot, but he is immediately ditched by Poe Dameron ( Oscar Isaac) on a remote world where his space combat skills are irrelevant and his piloting aspirations almost get him killed. From the start, Resistance seems particularly interested in interrogating and replacing the model of heroism established in previous outings.

Reducing the emphasis on violence doesn't so much water down the Star Wars TV formula as transform it entirely. Star Wars Fans Are Mad Again, This Time at Star Wars Resistance Resistance may not provide the best fodder for those fan-made kill count supercuts. Some underwhelming ship-to-ship combat is depicted, but vehicles are only disabled, and no one dies. And in the hourlong premiere, the only guns to be seen are the "no blasters" signs in the background. In the poster for Resistance, however, the heroes hold a rusty wrench, a racing helmet and a gorg (a cute cross between a porg and a piranha). In the first poster for Rebels, for instance, the protagonists were all depicted holding weapons: blaster pistols, a lightsaber, a slingshot, an electrostaff-rifle-hybrid and a disembodied Stormtrooper helmet (or head?). The overall reduction in violence from the last series, Star Wars Rebels, to Resistance is striking. What is Star Wars without the star warriors? Instead, it immerses viewers in the blue-collar underbelly of the Star Wars universe: a world of mechanics, junk dealers and racers. Resistance doesn't follow the lives of Jedi Knights or elite troopers or guerrilla rebels or gun-toting smugglers. Meet the 8 Obscure Star Wars Characters Most Likely to Cameo in Resistance

But by insisting on taking younger viewers seriously, Resistance gains its greatest advantage: a license to break away from the Star Wars formula and take the universe into unexplored new directions. In contrast to the previous two Star Wars TV series, Resistance offers a lot less action and a lot more humor. That much is true Resistance is made for kids. Either way, this episode more than any other so far asks a lot of questions, and steers the show into new waters – as did The Clone Wars and Rebels – which bodes well for a more substantial feast as the show develops.The first teaser for Star Wars: Resistance was immediately greeted by a dislike-button backlash from adult fans.

Lussier goes on to point out the similarites of the Tehar massacre to that of Tuanul Village on Jakku at the beginning of The Force Awakens, which begs the question is Ren already hunting for Luke Skywalker? Presumably this tale will overlap with the Poe Dameron comic series at some point as it steams past the first sequel and into the depths of the new trilogy. Thankfully, the Resistance has a spy on the Colossus in the form of Kaz, who radios all of this information back to the Resistance. Once captured, it would insure their planet, Tehar, “fades from memory” and the First Order’s plans stay out of reach of the Resistance, according to Captain Phasma. The First Order wants them to tie up loose ends. It turns out that Kylo Ren murdered the kids’ entire village, including their family, and they were the only survivors. However, once Kaz ran into the kids-literally-we found out that it’s actually the First Order that is offering up the bounty. Kaz believed, if he found them, he’d be doing a double good deed: returning two missing kids to their parents and getting himself some much needed money. How’d Resistance get to Kylo? Well, it started with Kaz and Neeku on the look out for two missing kids with a bounty on their heads. That’s right, Kylo got a shout-out and over at io9, Germain Lussier took a closer look at the details of the episode and what it could mean in the broader picture of the pre- The Force Awakens era. With it’s primary colour-heavy pallette and clear anime influences, that’s a fast and obvious cliche to paint the show with, but Sunday’s new episode The Children of Tehar, name-checked a character that has no right to be anywhere near a ‘children’s show’. The quick and simple label that’s been slapped on Star Wars Resistance – just as it was for The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels before it – is that it’s ‘just a kids show’.
