Leaks From French Disney Event Reveal New STAR WARS: RESISTANCE Character Art And Premiere Date
Unveiled to audiences at RDVDisney 2018, character designs for the heroes and villains of Star Wars Resistance have made their way online, along with reports of the anime-inspired series' premiere date.
Back in April, Disney and Lucasfilm announced a new, anime-inspired Star Wars cartoon to fill the vacancy created by the conclusion of Star Wars: Rebels.
Set before the events of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the new show is titled Star Wars Resistance and stars a young Resistance pilot named Kazudo Xiono, who fights alongside Poe Dameron.
At a French event titled Rendez-vous Des Partenaires 2018, Walt Disney France execs apparently revealed to programming partners that Star Wars Resistance will premiere in October. Tweets from the event have also made their way online, which provide the first (lo-res) look at the character designs.
In the new anime-inspired Star Wars Resistance, Poe Dameron and Captain Phasma feature, with Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie lending their voices. The actual star of the series is a young, talented Resistance pilot named Kazudo Xiono. The series will depict the First Order's rise to power in the 30 years between the destruction of the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. Lucasfilm Animation veteran Dave Filoni is spearheading the project.
