Disney's new animated show Star Wars: Resistance will feature a mix of both new and familiar faces, including Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), and BB-8. Following the debut of the show's first trailer, we now have confirmation from EW's Anthony Breznican that General Leia Organa will also make an appearance.

On Twitter, actress Rachel Butera (Tammy's Tiny Tea Time) revealed that she has the "honor" of providing the voice for General Leia, the iconic character originally played by the late Carrie Fisher. 


Star Wars: Resistance is set after the events of Return of the Jedi and before The Force Awakens. Although General Leia wasn't featured in the first trailer for Star Wars: Resistance, you have to imagine she'll have a pretty prominent role in the series given the key role she has in the fight against The First Order. That doesn't necessarily mean she'll have a ton of screentime though, as she could just issue orders from a distance with maybe a brief appearance here and there.

Star Wars: Resistance follows the adventures of Kazudo Xiono, a young pilot recruited by the Resistance in order to infiltrate and spy on The First Order. Details for the first episode reveal that Poe Dameron and BB-8 will assign Kaz to the Colossus, a massive refueling platform on an outer rim ocean planet, where he meets a" cast of colorful new aliens, droids, and creatures."



Star Wars: Resistance premieres on Sunday, October 7 at 10:00 p.m. EDT on Disney Channel.

The general consensus from yesterdays reveal of this trailer on here was people weren't fond of the animation. I'm intrigued by it simply because when the Clone Wars original trailer came out everyone felt the same.

After viewing it a few more times it's really growing on me and I have a feeling it will end up being great! You can definitely tell it's a bit more kid geared which is to be expected.

They need to do stuff either really far in the past or really far in the future.

So they say they won't CGI her out of respect in the films.......but then animate her in the cartoons and let another actress voice her?

If they're going to animate her, they should just include her with GCI. It's not disrespectful, it honours her memory.

Not really a fan of this animation. Reminds me of Iron Man armored adventures or the MTV Spider-Man
