RESISTANCE REVISITED

In the mid-season fi nale, Kaz
tags along on Poe’s recon mission
through the Unknown Regions on
course for an abandoned First Order
outpost. Once there, they encounter
Captain Phasma, who has come to

of them.

Episode 11

Station Theta Black

Directed by Sergio Paez Written by Brandon Auman

Neeku takes center stage when he

adopts a small and smelly stowaway

creature he calls Bibo, much to the

chagrin of Yeager and pretty much

everyone else on the Colossus.

Then, when a massive, tentacled

beast rises from the surrounding

waters, Eila has a premonition that

the threatening creature has come

for Neeku’s new friend, but luckily

for the Nikto, it turns out it’s just a

mother looking for her young.

Episode 12

Bibo

Directed by Bosco Ng Written by Paul Giacoppo

Despite Yeager’s best efforts to forget his former
life, the Platform Classic race brings his past
screaming back with the arrival of his estranged
brother, Marcus Speedstar. The two siblings once
raced for a living, until Marcus’ lust for glory led
to him cheating with a hyperfuel boost, which
damaged Yeager’s ship in the process. Soon, we
discover the wounds run much deeper. Yeager
once had a family, and because of Marcus he lost
them, too.
Through the competition, the garage owner
learns to forgive past wrongs, help his brother
to settle a debt that’s endangered the life of his
friend and mechanic Oplock, and begins to mend
old wounds.

Episode 9

The Platform Classic

Directed by Steward Lee Written by Kevin Burke and Chris “Doc” Wyatt

While Captain Doza meets with the First Order to begin negotiating

protection for the platform, he orders his daughter Torra to stay safely

in her room. Naturally, Torra sneaks out and, upon literally bumping

into Kaz, confi des in her friend about what a First Order proposal

really means—a stormtrooper presence on the platform with no end

in sight. After sneaking back into Doza Tower to play holo games, Kaz

uses the opportunity for another spy adventure, which ends with him

briefl y trapped in Captain Doza’s closet next to what is apparently an

old Imperial uniform.

Fortunately for the hapless spy, Torra helps him to escape the

tower after he promises to explain why he was snooping in her

father’s offi ce, leading them on a wild misadventure through the

trash incinerator to freedom.

Episode 10

Secrets and Holograms

Directed by Saul Ruiz Written by Stephany Folsom

While Flix and Orka are away

visiting Flix’s mother, Kaz agrees

to watch their shop (and their pet

gorg, Bitey) in exchange for some

badly needed parts for the Fireball.

During the assignment, Teroj Kee,

a no-good swindler in league with

the First Order, locks Kaz in a

shipping crate and tries to steal a

valuable phase connector, a device

used to crack open planetoids and

asteroids for mining.
