AREN’T YOU A LITTLE

SHORT FOR AN Episode?

The Aces, Flix, Orka, the adorable
droids, and beloved pets inhabiting
the world of Star Wars Resistance had
their chance to shine in a series of short
animations—a dozen brief vignettes that
recounted further adventures, showed
more of the Aces’ competitive spirit, Flix
and Orka’s partnership, and even inside
the circuits of BB-8, Bucket, and G-LN.
Plus, Buggles got to fl y the Fireball!

The Search
for Kaz
Fans get a different
point of view on the
Colossus platform in
a short focused on
BB-8’s hunt for Kaz.

Dart and Cover
Kaz and Bucket play
a friendly game at
Aunt Z’s Tavern, with
hilarious results.

Neeku’s Reward
Neeku’s hard work is
rewarded with a juicy
lunch from the gorg
vendor. That is, until
his food slips away.

Bucket’s Quest
Bucket launches a
full-scale search for
his missing helmet
before fi nding a small,
round friend has just
borrowed it.

When Thieves
Drop By
Flix and Orka make a
great team, whether
they’re dealing with
customers looking for
rare parts or thwarting
a would-be robber.

Treasure Chest
Flix and Orka love a
good surprise. When
Synara fi nds a mystery
crate on a salvage
mission, they can’t wait
to crack it open and
discover its secrets.

G-LN

G-LN, the pit

droid taken on by

Acquisitions, gets into

some mischief while

Flix, Orka, and Aunt

Z are immersed

in conversation.

Unmotivated

Does Hype’s droid

have a bad motivator?

It’s certainly a feisty

little one when Flix

and Orka try to take

a closer look.

The Need

for Speed

The Aces race to

unseat Hype Fazon

from the top spot

among them.

The Rematch

Kaz and Torra stage

a friendly competition

in order to test out the

latest upgrades to

the Fireball.

Sixty Seconds

to Destruction

The Aces work

together on an

important mission

to stop a fuel tanker

from smashing into

the Colossus.

Buggles’

Day Out

Kaz watches Torra’s

beloved pet Buggles

while she’s away, with

disastrous results.

An altercation with a stormtrooper asking for Kel and Eila’s

identifi cation leads to an opportunity for Kaz to go undercover

among the First Order ranks, disguised in the trooper’s armor.

Here, we begin to see the fi ssures forming among the citizens

on the platform. While Kaz and Yeager are incensed by the

presence of more and more stormtroopers, Tam sees them as

security forces, there to maintain order and keep everyone safe.

A clever maneuver gets Kaz quickly—but awkwardly—out of

harm’s way, when his behavior raises suspicions that there’s

something amiss with the trooper he’s pretending to be.
