RESISTANCE REVISITED

NEW RECRUITS


Meet the heroes of Star Wars
Resistance, in the words of the
actors who portray them:


Kazuda Xiono
Voiced by Christopher Sean
Former ace New Republic pilot
turned Resistance spy, this son of a
wealthy Hosnian Prime senator goes
undercover on the Colossus, posing
as a hapless mechanic. “Kaz is just
living out those simple mistakes that
we make in life,” reveals Christopher
Sean, of his character’s attempts to
fi t into his new career. “He’s so much
fun. He’s good at fl ying, but he’s not
really good at spying.”


Neeku Vozo
Voiced by Josh Brener
A brilliant mechanic, this kind-
hearted and trustworthy Nikto soon
becomes fi rm friends with Kaz.
“Neeku is this unbelievably positive,
happy, wonderful, sweet character,”
says Josh Brener. “I love that he is
infectiously positive. No matter what
kind of day you’re having, Neeku is
having a great day. No matter how
bad things are going, he is going
to cheer everybody up and make
you smile.”


Jarek Yeager
VoiceD by Scott Lawrence
The owner of the Fireball and a
grizzled former Rebel Alliance
pilot, Yeager now lives a quiet life
as a mechanic on the Colossus
platform—until Kaz shows up.
“Yeager’s a strong guy,” says Scott
Lawrence, who voices the father
fi gure Tam and Kaz look up to. “He’s
been through the wars, he’s been
through the fi ghts. He’s been a pilot,
and now he wants to rest. There’s a
lot Yeager wants to forget.”


Tam Ryvora
Voiced by Suzie McGrath
A brave and gifted mechanic and
wannabe pilot striving to make her
way in the world, Tam isn’t Kaz’s
biggest fan when he fi rst arrives on
the platform. “She doesn’t see Kaz
as a threat, but more of a pain,”
Suzie McGrath says of the pair’s
sibling rivalry. “She’s a young woman
who wants to have a better life. She
has dreams, but it’s a tough road to
achieve those dreams.”


Torra Doza
Voiced by Myrna Velasco
Daring Ace pilot and daughter of
station operator Captain Doza, the
energetic and optimistic Torra is a
key personality on the Colossus.
“[Kaz and Torra] are both trying
to fi gure out the world, so they
relate to each other,” says Myrna
Velasco of her character. “She keeps
everyone positive. She’s the little
sister everyone loves.”


Still loyal to pirate and Warbird gang leader, Kragan Gorr, when Synara
discovers that the Colossus’ air-defense weapons are inoperable, she leaks the
information to Gorr so he and his crew can launch a full-scale attack on the
platform. When Synara meets Tam, the two young women realize they’re not
so different from one another. Tam had hopes of being a racer like her father,
but instead she’s stuck trying to make the accident-prone Fireball fl ightworthy.
When the pirates attack, Tam rushes to Synara’s side while Kaz and Yeager
team up to fi nish repairs that will make the platform’s weapons system fully
operational once more. But the gap in their defenses has weakened Captain
Doza’s arguments against agreeing to First Order protection of the Colossus,
which results in Commander Pyre arriving to oversee negotiations.

Episode 8
Synara’s Score
Directed by Bosco Ng Written by Gavin Hignight

We begin to understand the destruction caused by Kylo Ren
and his First Order forces when Kaz stumbles upon Kel and
Eila, two children with a sizable bounty on their heads. Captain
Phasma claims she is trying to return the pair to their family, but
Kaz soon learns the chilling truth: They have no home to return
to because everyone and everything in their village on Tehar was
destroyed by the First Order, leaving them as the only survivors.
Through a clever deception, and with the help of the slow-
moving but quite brilliant Chelidae shell-folk on the engineering
level, the children escape the First Order’s grasp.

Episode 6
The Children from Tehar
Directed by Saul Ruiz Written by Paul Giacoppo

A rendezvous
between Kaz and Poe
Dameron is interrupted
by a distress call
emanating from a
freighter recently
decimated by a pirate
attack. When they
investigate, the pair is
set upon by a gaggle
of loose Kowakian
monkey-lizards and
a terrifying, muscle-
bound Kowakian ape,
but they manage to
escape and rescue
a lone survivor, a
Mirialan named Synara
San, who they bring
back to the Colossus.
Synara, however,
isn’t what she seems.
Far from an innocent
victim, she is merely
the luckiest of the
pirate gang sent to
ransack the freighter.
