Resistance: Season 1 Finale

Hot on the heels of sinking the Colossus, our heroes learn a lot about rebellion in the Season 1 finale of Resistance—and accidentally form their very own rebel cell.

In our episode this week, which covers “No Escape, Parts 1 and 2,” we reflect on how The Force Awakens, A New Hope, and other pioneering installments in the Star Wars canon have rippled out into the Resistance show.

We also talk through Tam’s conservative ideological blindness, the First Order’s scuppered plan for Castilon, and the making of Kazuda Xiono, Resistance hero.

And just like that, we’re ready for the second sequel movie! Join us next week for the first half of The Last Jedi.
