Star Wars Resistance new animated series...

STAR WARS RESISTANCE // OCTOBER 15, 2018BUCKET’S LIST EXTRA: 9 FUN FACTS FROM “THE TRIPLE DARK” – STAR WARS RESISTANCE[/h][h=2]FIND OUT DESIGN AND IN-UNIVERSE SECRETS OF KRAGAN GORR'S PIRATES AND MUCH MORE![/h]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 Triple Dark.”

Bucket’s List Extra – “The Triple Dark”

1. Metal origins.
Aurodium, the metal that makes up Kaz’s prized trophy, is incredibly rare — rarer than gold. It usage in Star Wars dates back to a mention in the 2000 novel, Rogue Planet.
Bonus fun fact: The use of “au” in “Aurodium” is a nod to the symbol for gold in the Periodic Table of Elements.

2. Phasma-tastic.
This episode marks the series debut of Captain Phasma, voiced by Gwendoline Christie, who portrays the character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

3. What’s old is new.

Hallion is a Neimoidian, and his ship is a modern incarnation of the Galactic Republic-era Sheathipede shuttle, seen in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

4. Alien party!
This episode includes a wide array of aliens from across the saga, like Neimoidians, Niktos, Rodians, Mirialans, Gotal, Nautolans, Ithorians, Snivvians, Aleena, Klatooinians, Arcona, Quarren, Hassks, Trandoshans, and more!

5. Pirate fashion.
All the pirates’ gear (costumes, ships, accessories),were originally created from left-over Imperial parts from Star Wars: A New Hope to Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The original design brief (per Lucasfilm’s Dave Filoni and Kiri Hart), stated that the First Order would be providing the old Imperial tech, weapons, and uniforms to the pirates as part of their trade deal.

6. A pirate’s ship for me.
Each pirate and ship have their own theme, but were heavily influenced by chop-shop/hot-rod cars and trucks. The lead pirate ship is a Lambda-class shuttle with several modifications: added guns, more powerful engines, and added wings.

7. Unleash the Kragan.
Kragan Gorr, the pirate leader, wears mostly AT-AT commander gear, a la General Veers, customized with spikes and paint. He is a Quarren, and also sports a prosthetic left arm, has lots of scars, and is missing part of his facial tentacles.

8. Patch work.
The different mechanics on the platform have special patches that designate their specialty/area assigned, and different colors of the same patch indicate a higher or lower level of expertise. (Tam’s is red, signifying the highest level of mechanic expertise). Acquisitions and janitorial have their own unique patches, as well.

9. It’s all in the (missing) details.
Yeager was meant to have had this jacket since he was young. Intentionally, there is a missing patch on his left arm, but a dark spot can be seen where it used to be, and the rank badge and existing patch on the front of his jacket are unexplained. All of these were intentional on the design side, and meant to add mystery to his past!

Okay, because Comcast/Xfinity apparently hates me, how important is the first episode? Because they only have the second (and possibly the third by now) On Demand. Can't watch the show live (a channel that doesn't use On Demand is showing Babylon 5 7 nights a week!), so I'm stuck with On Demand, and if they're not gonna have the first episode, I'm kinda stuck.

I'm actually kind of enjoying this animation. I'm completely sick of "plastic" CGI like Clone Wars and Rebels. At least this is different. Also, seems fairly detailed with the amount of fabric movement and scratches and scuffs.

Story wise...yeah whatever, I can take it or leave it, which is pretty much my same take on Clone Wars and Rebels. Personally, I don't see how this is anymore "kiddyfied" than either of those shows.

You do realize that this show is basically cel shaded 3D and no different from Clone Wars and Rebels except for the way they render and texture everything. To me, this show looks even more CG than its predecessors and reminds of the early days of 3D animation and cel shading.

Star Wars Resistance // OCTOBER 22, 2018Bucket’s List Extra: 10 Fun Facts from “Fuel for the Fire” – Star Wars Resistance[/h][h=2]Discover this episode's surprising connections to the rest of the Star Wars saga and more![/h]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 “Fuel for the Fire.”
Bucket’s List Extra – “Fuel for the Fire”

1. Meet Kaz’s other new friend.
This is Garma, an elderly female Arcona. She suggests that Kaz come live with her. He declines.

2. What’s in a name?
In the earliest outline of this episode, the young racers that Kaz meets had the placeholder names Camie, Fixer, and Deak. These were the names of Luke Skywalker’s teenage friends at Tosche Station in the original Star Wars, featured in scenes eventually cut from the film.

3. I know that voice.
Voicing Jace Rucklin is longtime Star Wars fan Elijah Wood.

4. Dressing the part.
Rucklin, his ship, and his crew have a more worn look and sport more muted colors, as they are still struggling to make it as racers on the Colossus. Only the Aces and the wealthier inhabitants have enough status and credits to afford new, custom-made ships and gear.

5. Famous origins.
The design of Rucklin’s speeder bike is based on early Return of the Jedi concept art by Nilo Rodis-Jamero.

6. One of a kind.
According to Art Director Amy Beth Christenson, Opeepit is the only janitor on the Colossus; a Frigosian, his goggles were designed to give him a cranky’expression at all times, reinforcing his frustration when anyone else makes a mess. His floor polisher was designed just for his use.

7. Rebel hero.
The holographic image Kaz finds in Yaeger’s private office shows him as part of a victorious X-wing squadron at the Battle of Jakku. A downed Star Destroyer rests in the desert behind him, as seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

8. There’s something familiar about this place…
The photo of Yeager’s family was taken on Batuu — the same location featured at the upcoming Disney Parks Star Wars-themed land, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

9. It worked that one time…
A drop of hyperfuel in an ion engine — which is catastrophic in the case of Rucklin’s racer — is how the Millennium Falcon gets out of the Kessel Run in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

10. Watching from the watchtower.
The tower in the center of the Colossus was designed so that Doza could keep an eye on everything. Both his office and the control tower (situated just above his office) have 360-degree windows, so that he always has a clear view of the entire base and can keep an eye out for pirate attacks. It is highly secure, being A) the highest point on the base, B) only accessible via a single turbolift, guarded by special security droids, and C) protected from outside threats by large anti-aircraft guns.
