Resistance Season 1 Premiere: The Recruit

The biggest time jump in Growing Up Skywalker history! This week, we flash forward to ABY 34. Everyone we know and love is 20 years older, and a new story is rising in the Outer Rim…the story of the First Order and the Resistance. 

We dive into galaxy-spanning politics like how, exactly, the New Republic came to need a Resistance wing and which Imperial remnants we think became part of the First Order. We also name Resistance a spiritual successor to Rebels, discuss Kaz’s spectacular penchant for bad first impressions, and question whether his dad, the beyond-bad Senator Xiono, could possibly be a First Order mole.

We had so much to talk about we also recorded a 45-minute “leftovers” episode on Patreon. Check it out!
