During the San Diego Comic-Con International it was announced that Star Wars: The Clone Wars will be returning to the small screen with a brand new season, but that isn’t the only project from The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels creator Dave Filoni that we have to look forward to.
Back in April came the announcement of Star Wars Resistance, a new anime-inspired series from Filoni which is set to take place prior to Star Wars: The Force Awakens and will follow young Resistance pilot Kazuda Xiono. And, thanks to German website Fernsehserien, we now have a first synopsis for the show, translated via Twitter:
Resistance fighter Poe Dameron tasks young pilot Kazuda “Kaz” Xiono with spying on the First Order. At the time, little was known about the secretive organization and its strength.
In order to fulfill his mission, Kaz travels to the space station Colossus, which is being used by many ships as a port to refuel and do repairs. However, there are also dangerous races taking place there. After Kaz bragged with his piloting skills at his arrival there, he is soon drawn into one of the races…
