This weekend coming up is an exciting one for Star Wars fans! Not only is Triple Force Friday kicking things off with the release of toys from three hotly anticipated new Star Wars projects, but we'll also see the return of the animated series Star Wars Resistance on Sunday night! To prepare fans for the kick off of the second and final season, two new preview clips have been released from the premiere, titled "Into the Unknown", giving fans a glimpse at what happened to the characters following the season one finale.
The first clip, which was released by ABC, features Captain Phasma giving orders to Commander Pyre and Agent Tierny of the First Order to track down The Colossus, which blasted off into space in the finale. Check it out for yourself below,
ABC's Clayton Sandell also spoke with Resistance executive producer Justin Ridge, who spoke about how the series' ties in with the sequel trilogy. Ridge said, " "It's been a dream to create these new characters and this family that we've never really seen before. To tie it in to the movies, and to have it be concurrent with 'The Last Jedi' and going up to 'The Rise of Skywalker' is a blast. It's really cool for us to figure out how all that is connected."
Given that the season one finale took place during the events of The Force Awakens, it appears that the first part of season two will take place during The Last Jedi (given the lack of a time jump between the two films). And with The Rise Of Skywalker coming out in December (during the new season) who knows what sort of tie-ins we might see between the films and the series. At the very least, we know from the trailer that we will be seeing Supreme Leader Kylo Ren at some point this season.
Another clip, which catches us up with our heroes, was also released on the official Star Wars YouTube channel. You can watch that one below,
In addition, a recap video for the first season was released on the "Star Wars Kids" YouTube channel. Check it out below,
Star Wars Resistance season two kicks off on Sunday October 6th at 9pm ET/6pm PT on Disney XD. And make sure you listen to The Kazuda Kast podcast afterwards for a complete break down of the episode!
