New details have arrived along with the trailer, which teases the one-hour premiere titled “The Recruit.” In this episode, Poe Dameron (voiced byOscar Isaac) and his trusty droid BB-8 usher in a newly appointed spy named Kaz to the Colossus, a massive aircraft re-fueling platform on an outer rim water planet, home to colorful new aliens, droids, and creatures. We’ll let the official press release explain more:
“While undercover, Kaz works as a mechanic and lives with Poe’s old friend Yeager, a veteran pilot who operates a starship repair shop run by his crew: Tam, Neeku and their old battered astromech droid, Bucket. Kaz soon finds himself in over his head with his newfound friend BB-8 as he’ll have to compete in dangerous sky races, keep his mission a secret from his newfound family, and avoid the danger of the First Order.”
This series has some flairs ofStar Wars Rebels, complete with a colorful new ensemble crew to lead the series. But it’s the animation style that makes this one stand out. It’s a mix of 3D animation and anime-style design that calls back to shows likeRobotech.It might take some getting used to when you start watching.
