Bucket’s List Extra: 9 Fun Facts from “The High Tower” – Star Wars Resistance[/h][h=2]See concept art, find out the inspiration behind Major Vonreg's design, and more![/h]

// OCTOBER 29, 2018
Star Wars Resistance is here! The animated series follows Kazuda “Kaz” Xiono, a young pilot recruited by the Resistance and tasked with a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. Visit StarWars.com following each episode for “Bucket’s List Extra,” an expansion of our weekly fun-facts video series Bucket’s List. In this installment, we look at “The High Tower.”
Bucket’s List Extra – “The High Tower”

1. Aunt Z’s ink.
Aunt Z’s upper left arm bears a tattoo of crossed cooking implements (a spatula and a knife) underneath a “space waffle.”

2. Traveling monkey-lizard exhibition.
Among the artifacts and oddities hanging from the wall of Aunt Z’s tavern is a wing panel with Clone Wars-era art of the “Crumb Bomber,” a gunship seen in Obi-Wan Kenobi’s forces in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and in Old Jho’s Pit Stop on Lothal in Star Wars Rebels.

3. Helmets galore.
Aunt Z has a shelf of pilot helmets from across the decades, including Mandalorian, Imperial, clone, and rebel pilot.

4. I’ll have one of those.
Kaz orders a Cirilian Sour Paste, a drink new to Star Wars storytelling.

5. Logo saga.
Nearly all of the logos on Hype’s ship, racing outfit, and droid can be found in episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. The “79’s” cantina logo comes from The Clone Wars episode “Orders”; the “Power Sliders” and “Admiral Snackbar” logos were first seen on the planet Abafar in The Clone Wars droid arc; and several of the others can be found in background advertisements throughout the two series.

6. Dress for the job you earned.
Vonreg’s helmet design is based on the First Order TIE fighter pilot helmets, with a nod to both clone trooper pilot helmets and Imperial Royal Guards. His character was originally described as being the “Red Baron” of the First Order, hence his final color choice, which was inspired by the famed Red Baron of WWI. His armor’s unique designs and colors reinforce the idea that his ability as a pilot has earned him a rank higher than any seen before.

7. Space is limited.
According to Art Director Amy Beth Christenson, the entire central section of the Colossus sports lighter colors and cleaner textures than the rest of the base, since this is where the Aces and Doza live. The hallways are polished and bright throughout this area, in marked contrast to the dark and dirty corridors that have been seen previously. The control tower is the brightest and cleanest of all, since this is Doza’s own personal office and center of operations. Other parts of the Colossus get progressively dirtier, grungier, and darker, the farther they are from the control tower.

8. Fancy droids.
The server droids that operate in the Tower have a paint scheme that suggest they are wearing tuxedos.

9. Torra’s Easter egg extravaganza!
Things to spot in Torra’s room include an Ewok doll, an Ortolan doll (with extra limbs), a Kintan strider doll (Kintan striders are seen in dejarik holochess), a bantha doll, a tooka doll, a poster of Sabine Wren art, a Boonta Eve Podrace poster, stormtrooper and Boushh action figures, and a T-16 model. There’s more still to come on the side of the room not seen on camera…

WAS THAT A PHOENIX SQUAD LOGO?!?!?

If you read my post above talking about the easter eggs, it said there was Sabin Wren art in her room. That is probably what they were talking about.


I liked this last episode much better. I think it because they started dealing with the influence of the First Order. I have a tip for the First Order. If you want to keep your presence a secret, maybe not wear First Order armor/uniforms on the station. Look, FO... we know you look cool in it and probably the guys/gals/open minded droids love it, but you got to not let your ego get the best of you.

Watched The Children from Tehar earlier today from the Disney App. This was another episode I liked because it dealt more with the First Order.

I also liked it because I like turtles. You'll know what I mean after you watch it.

BUCKET’S LIST EXTRA: 8 FUN FACTS FROM “THE CHILDREN FROM TEHAR” – STAR WARS RESISTANCE
FIND OUT WHY THE SHOW'S CREATORS GAVE COMMANDER PYRE GOLD ARMOR AND MORE!
Star Wars Resistance is here! The animated series follows Kazuda “Kaz” Xiono, a young pilot recruited by the Resistance and tasked with a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. Visit StarWars.com following each episode for “Bucket’s List Extra,” an expansion of our weekly fun-facts video series Bucket’s List. In this installment, we look at “The Children from Tehar.”

Bucket’s List Extra – “The Children from Tehar”

1. What’s this thing do, anyway?

Acceleration compensators are devices that use repulsorlift (or antigravity) technology to cancel out the G-forces from rapid accelerations or changes in direction in starships and speeders. So there.

2. You’re out.

Scenes cut prior to animation would have had Kaz and Neeku asking around Acquisitions to see if Flix and Orka knew anything about missing children, and then to the Admissions office, before finally running into Kel and Eila in the marketplace.

3. Color-coded food looks…interesting.

The Ugnaught food vendor has his own unique stand where he serves up a questionable menu of blue squid, purple kebabs, mystery soup, and blue bacon. His character design was based off of one of a line-up of background characters created for the pitch for the show.

Bonus fun fact: The food Kel and Elia steal in the marketplace is puffer pig bacon. That a pig-like Ugnaught is selling it is particularly unpleasant.

4. Space malls.


There is a marketplace on all four quadrants of the Colossus. The one that Kaz and friends frequent is located in the “A” quadrant, just above Yeager’s garage, and adjacent to the corner where Aunt Z’s is located. There are a wide variety of vendors selling spice, fruits and vegetables, cooked foods of all types, and trinkets and tools. At the very end of the marketplace, right next to several refuse dumpsters, is Bolza Grool’s live gorg stand.

5. Read the signs.

Bolza Grool’s gorg stand sign translates to: MOST TASTE. BEST FLAVOR. GUARANTEED. (We’re not sure about that.) The nearby sign with an arrow says: FRESH 4 YOU.

6. Name change.

In earlier versions of their characters, Kel and Eila were named “Bo” and “Dopa,” which is “one” and “two” in Huttese.

7. The Chelidae are at home.

The engineers of the Colossus were designed to be the indigenous sentient species of Castilon. They are amphibious but prefer to live above the water, and carry their belongings with them on their shells. The males have facial hair while the females do not, and this particular group/tribe all have similar nose rings.

Bonus fun fact: The Chelidae species shares a name with a family of real-world turtles on our planet.

8. Stay gold.

Answering to Captain Phasma, Commander Pyre was designed to stand out with his own unique trooper armor. While the base of his armor is identical to that of the standard First Order Stormtrooper, his is finished in a gold chrome treatment. Pyre also wears a black pauldron, and has a matching gold-and-black blaster.

[Laspector]

I got through the third episode yesterday. Ships look great, tech looks great, enjoying the animation, not so much the writing. Basically seems to be just Kaz bumbling his way through whatever situation he is put in and that gets old really quick.

Sure, I'll keep DVRing them and get around to watching them at some point, but definitely not something I'm anxiously awaiting each week..

 

[Halliwax]

I wish I could get into this, idk what I’m missing but I just don’t feel it

 

[Mara Jade's Father]

I've enjoyed the last couple episodes. Little more adventure. I can only believe that the story elements in the first few episodes are story elements that will be important later. That was the case with Rebels.

I would like them to get more of the ace pilots into the episodes. They seem very interesting.

BUCKET’S LIST EXTRA: 10 FUN FACTS FROM “SIGNAL FROM SECTOR SIX” – STAR WARS RESISTANCE
FIND OUT WHO VOICED THIS EPISODE'S MISCHIEVOUS KOWAKIAN MONKEY-LIZARDS AND MORE!
Star Wars Resistance is here! The animated series follows Kazuda “Kaz” Xiono, a young pilot recruited by the Resistance and tasked with a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. Visit StarWars.com following each episode for “Bucket’s List Extra,” an expansion of our weekly fun-facts video series Bucket’s List. In this installment, we look at “Signal from Sector Six.”

Bucket’s List Extra – “Signal from Sector Six”

1. The return of Poe Dameron!

While Oscar Isaac’s schedule makes it difficult for Poe to be a regular on the series, he does make an appearance whenever the busy actor — and the busy Resistance pilot who has other adventures elsewhere in the galaxy — can make it work.

2. Kicking it up a notch.

In the original outline to the episode, Yeager was to take Kaz to a nearby atoll, where Poe and CB-23 had landed their X-wings. But in the true spirit of “faster, more intense” Star Wars action, this was restaged to the mid-air transfer to keep the episode moving.

3. There’s only one BB.

In early stages, Poe’s loaner droid was named BB-23, but having two droids named BB would have been confusing, so she was renamed CB-23 — which ends up being a nod to Carrie Beck, vice president of development within the Lucasfilm Story Group.

4. Rathtars, gundarks, and reeks — oh my!

The creatures that Poe lists (see above) as possible hazards aboard the freighter are all beasts that have been seen on-screen in other Star Wars productions. Rathtars memorably bowled over Kanjiclub and Guavian thugs in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, gundarks harried Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode “Dooku Captured,” and the reek was the rhino-like arena beast that Anakin tamed in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.

5. Crate canon.

The animal crates that litter the corridors of the derelict freighter are the same used for the puffer pig in Star Wars Rebels.

6. Instructions that should have been followed.

The broken crates aboard the freighter say (in aurebesh text) “CAUTION: HANDLE WITH CARE.” Reading is fundamental, especially in a galaxy far, far away.

7. Kowakian thespians.

Kowakian monkey-lizards have been around for ages — since Star Wars: Return of the Jedi’s introduction of Salacious Crumb — but this episode marks the first appearance of a lumbering Kowakian ape-lizard. This gaggle of Kowakians were voiced by series creator Dave Filoni, along with David Acord and Matthew Wood of Skywalker Sound.

8. Nightmare fuel.

According to Amy Beth Christenson, series art director, the design for the Kowakian ape-lizard was based off of the idea that if monkey-lizards were the howler monkeys of Kowak, the Kowakian ape-lizard would be the gorilla. Using that as inspiration, the ape-lizard ended up with short hind legs, with most of the power coming from huge, long, clawed forearms. Its facial features were meant to capture the puppet qualities of Salacious Crumb, and are a distorted caricature of the smaller monkey-lizards. The beast’s tusks and the line of bristly hair running down his spine is a nod to another aggressive creature — a razor-back wild boar.

9. Meet the pirate…again.

Synara is a Mirialan, a species first seen in Attack of the Clones with the introduction of Jedi Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee. Especially attentive viewers would have recognized Synara’s pirate allegiance since she appeared in the series earlier. She was seen in the episode “Triple Dark,” flying her modified Lambda-class shuttle with Kragan Gor aboard, but her face was concealed by a helmet.

10. Synara San style.

A close look at Synara’s costume, which includes the boots and belt of an Imperial scout trooper, provides a hint of her pirate origins.

Bonus fun fact: Earlier designs of Synara included studies of her as a Weequay, as well as a green-skinned Mirialan.

Is it much better than ezra, chopper and zeb bumbling supply runs through most episodes in the first two seasons of rebels?

 

[Kovnyn]

I wish I could get into this, idk what I’m missing but I just don’t feel it

Same. Don't feel bad if you don't like it. I still haven't watched beyond episode 1.

I guess I'm (still) not one of those fan who like everything Star Wars just because it has the label slapped on it.

STAR WARS RESISTANCE // NOVEMBER 19, 2018

BUCKET’S LIST EXTRA: 8 FUN FACTS FROM “SYNARA’S SCORE” – STAR WARS RESISTANCE
FIND OUT WHICH VEHICLE WAS INSPIRED BY A STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS DESIGN AND MORE!
Star Wars Resistance is here! The animated series follows Kazuda “Kaz” Xiono, a young pilot recruited by the Resistance and tasked with a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. Visit StarWars.com following each episode for “Bucket’s List Extra,” an expansion of our weekly fun-facts video series Bucket’s List. In this installment, we look at “Synara’s Score.”

Bucket’s List Extra – “Synara’s Score”

1. Need more CoMar.

The CoMar tri-tracker chip is an obscure piece of artillery first mentioned in the Imperial Sourcebook, a roleplaying game supplement published in 1989. The tracking chip is a component thereof; earlier versions of this story described it as a TGV-3 artillery tracking chip.

2. Kyber crystals don’t grow on trees.

Orka jokes that he has a supply of kyber crystals; these are the rare, living crystals that focus the energy to create lightsaber blades, and have been seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels (above), and in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. An alternate version of his line was that he had a “crate full of lightsabers.”

3. Audience, meet Orthog. Orthog, meet floor.

The dock worker Synara knocks out in the opening is named Orthog. He is a recurring background character dating back to the very first episode.

4. Salvage special.


In this episode, we get to see into the salvage yards for the first time. The salvagers work out of a giant warehouse, located at the extreme ends of the Colossus, above the fuel tanks. A huge machine on rail tracks (rigged with multiple cranes, cables, and droid arms) was designed to help bring in the heavier items. It handles anything from large off-world shipments to salvaged wreckage from the Castilon oceans.

5. That’s just Drell.

One of the higher-ranking pirates in Kragan Gorr’s gang, Drell was designed as a Weequay with an attitude problem. He also sports stormtrooper variant armor, with Kragan’s pirate symbol painted on one shoulder pad. Drell is usually armed with thermal detonators — functional accessories in pirate fashion!

6. Pirate gear.

While we’ve seen the lead Lambda-class shuttle and the other chop-shopped fighters that Kragan Gorr’s pirate crew use to attack the Colossus, this episode gives us the first glimpse of some of their other arsenal pieces. These include vibro axes and heavy two-seater swoop bikes.

7. Names have meaning.

Tam makes reference to an old VF-72 gunner ship as possible salvage, a nod to a US Navy aviation unit during World War II.

8. Get off my lift!

The hoverlift design is based on one developed for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The repulsorlifts on its underside have three power settings, reflected in the brightness of the illuminated rings.

Bonus fun fact: Yeager’s grizzled “Get off my lift!” is a homage to Harrison Ford’s classic line, “Get off my plane!”, from Air Force One.

[Halliwax]

I’m not following this show at all, has the been any big reveals or eastereggs connecting the other films?

 

[Mara Jade's Father]

 

[astroboy]

You know,. I'm still not sure about this show. Parts of me really likes it. But I also have a hard time picturing these characters in escalated situations.

They were able to shed a lot of the silliness on rebels when the situation demanded it. But Kaz here, is the comic relief for the show.


All this to say, I think that this would be a better video game than a show. I love the world, the characters and the design. I think this airbase/fueling station would be a a fantastic location for an open world star wars game. One that's more story, than action.

 

[Runner]

Im actually liking this show MUCH more than I thought I would and actually look forward to watching it. I couldnt say that for most of Rebels run.

 

[astroboy]

Im actually liking this show MUCH more than I thought I would and actually look forward to watching it. I couldnt say that for most of Rebels run.

I think that ultimately, the writing is much better on this show than on rebels. Although directed at kids, the comedy here lands. Unlike any of the comedy with chopper or zeb
