About “Star Wars: Resistance” in a few words:

Star Wars: Resistance is an animated television series created by Dave Filoni, with animation produced by Lucasfilm Animation. The series premiered on Disney Channel in October 2018 and concluded in January 2020 after two seasons. Set during the events of the sequel trilogy, the show follows Kazuda Xiono, a young pilot who is recruited by the Resistance to spy on the First Order. Along the way, he becomes friends with a diverse cast of characters, including the ace pilot Tam Ryvora, the mechanic Neeku Vozo, and the retired pilot-turned-cantina owner, Jarek Yeager. The series features a mix of new and familiar characters from the Star Wars universe, as well as new starships, creatures, and planets.

Meet the characters from Star Wars: Resistance

Kazuda Xiono

Kaz is the wide-eyed rookie who barrels into things with equal parts hope and terrible piloting decisions — like, he will definitely try a risky shortcut and then apologize profusely while sweating. He’s curious to a fault, forever asking questions and pretending he knows a protocol when he absolutely doesn’t (but half the time he does, somehow). Super loyal, weirdly empathetic, and loves snack bars even though he claims they’re “not a meal,” which is a lie. Honestly his energy is contagious; chaotic good with a stubborn streak and a habit of making up nicknames on the fly.

Jarek Yeager

Yeager is the grumpy, grease-under-the-nails mentor who somehow doubles as the town moral compass and a walking toolbox. He’ll scold you for doing something dumb and then quietly fix whatever you broke at 3 a.m. He’s protective in a way that reads stern but is basically soft if you press him (don’t press him, he’ll deny it). Old secrets like to hide in his silence, but also he’s the kind of guy who bakes terrible cookies when nervous — not that he’ll admit to baking.

Neeku Vozo

Neeku is the endlessly optimistic, protocol-obsessed shop clerk who speaks in a million exclamation points and thinks the world is a very big puzzle to be politely celebrated. He’s awkward and literal and will Google the most obscure thing mid-conversation, then beam like he just solved a mystery. Also he’s absurdly romantic about heroism — like collects pamphlets or prints? — and will defend his friends with the intensity of a mild-mannered encyclopedia. He’s both comfort and chaos; very precise about some things and disastrously fuzzy about others (names, for instance).

Tam Ryvora

Tam is hard-edged, laser-focused, and quick to raise a brow — the “don’t test me” type who’s also quietly carrying more guilt than she lets on. She’s a former trooper with a sarcastic streak and surprisingly meticulous note-taking habits, especially about repairs and coffee shops she likes. She’ll tell you to keep your distance and then be the one who dives into the mess when it counts (frustratingly noble). Oh and she mutters about restraint but hoards tiny emergency snacks like it’s a secret hobby.

Captain Doza

Captain Doza runs Colossus like it’s a well-oiled clock and he is very proud of clocks, apparently — which makes sense because order is his religion. He’s paternal and authoritarian, always balancing community safety with the messy politics of the place, and he makes tough calls that look cold but come from a weird place of care. He can be rigid — like, stubbornly principled — yet occasionally makes a bafflingly bad joke that everyone laughs at because he’s the captain. Also, huge fan of ceremonial boots? Maybe. I can’t be sure.

Torra Doza

Torra is all fire and stubborn loyalty — the captain’s daughter who refuses to be shielded and would rather pilot a risky sortie than attend another meeting. She’s fierce, brave in a way that annoys grown-ups, and genuinely loves flying more than most people love breathing. Underneath the swagger is a soft spot for friends and a tendency to smuggle in contraband snacks (definitely not an official policy). Sometimes she’s impulsive and sometimes she’s thoughtful; sometimes both in the same sentence.

4D-M1N

4D-M1N is that officious droid who keeps files, issues permits, and judges your paperwork with laser precision — bureaucratic to the bone but weirdly opinionated about hatch maintenance. It’s annoyingly dependable, will nag you about protocol and then unexpectedly save the day by printing a crucial form at exactly the wrong time. Their manner is prim but they secretly enjoy a tiny song stuck in their circuits (keeps humming in the background, true story). Sometimes it glows friendly, sometimes it’s a passive-aggressive metal glare; both are accurate.

Bucket

Bucket is the scrappy little droid with more personality than sense, the squeaky best friend who gets into trouble and then brags about it in beeps. Loyal to a fault, endlessly curious, and attracted to shiny things (and sometimes literal shiny things — it’s a problem). It has this adorable habit of mimicking emotions like it’s practicing for a play, which is both charming and slightly disconcerting. Also it’s surprisingly brave in the face of danger, which nobody expected except maybe Bucket.

Commander Pyre

Pyre is the sharp-edged First Order type — cool, controlled, and surgically efficient at making life miserable for anyone resisting. He’s ruthless and composed, but with tiny quirks like an obsession with immaculate uniforms and a suspiciously steady hand when signing reports. He radiates ambition and a kind of principled cruelty, and he seems to keep his emotions in a locked drawer marked “Do Not Open” (which is probably for the best). Occasionally he’ll mutter something that sounds almost like regret, but then he’ll straighten his collar and move on.

Glitch

Glitch is jittery, brilliant, and a little too attached to his console — the hacker type who lives for the thrill of a clean override and the smell of burnt circuits. He’s socially awkward in the best way, stuttering between genius insights and oddly specific hobbies (collecting outdated schematics? maybe). Sneaky, quick-thinking, and utterly unafraid of bending rules, but also prone to panicking in large crowds which is oddly relatable. He’s equal parts whispered legend and slightly unreliable roommate.

Griff Halloran

Griff is the cocky pilot with a grin that won’t quit and a need for speed that borders on a personality trait; he’s the friend who challenges you to a race and then buys you dinner when you crash. He’s brash, reckless, and somehow deeply loyal — emotional in private, showy in public, like a soap opera star who can fix an engine. He loves betting, bragging, and apparently hates being underestimated, which is fair because he usually overdelivers. Also, has a secret soft spot for goofy knickknacks and probably cries at one movie.
