Monday means it’s the news, y’all!
Should we start with the good news? Okay. So, Emmy nominated Star Wars Resistance has a SUUUPER LIT season two trailer out. Check it out. It premieres Sunday, October 6, on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW. The bad news? This will be its last season.
Nevertheless, season two opens with Kaz and his Colossus-mates on the run from the First Order. During the trailer we see a bunch of other familiar faces–Kylo, General Hux, Captain Phasma, as well as some new faces. Some of those new faces are voiced by an all star cast:
“Joe Manganiello (Magic Mike) as Ax Tagrin; Daveed Diggs (from the original Broadway cast of the musical Hamilton) as Norath Kev; Matthew Wood (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) as Kylo Ren, and Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess) as the Aeosian Queen. Christopher Sean stars as Kazuda Xiono alongside co-stars: Suzie McGrath as Tam Ryvora; Scott Lawrence as Jarek Yeager; Myrna Velasco as Torra Doza; Josh Brener as Neeku Vozo; Donald Faison as Hype Fazon; Elijah Wood as Jace Rucklin; Jim Rash and Bobby Moynihan as Flix and Orka, respectively; Liam McIntyre as Commander Pyre; Jason Hightower as Captain Doza; and Sumalee Montano as Agent Tierny.”
Holy cast, Batman. Anyway, go check the trailer and then lament about it getting canceled with my Book Wars Pod co-hosts, Kate and Chris.
In other news this week, we got a peek into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – Black Spire by Delilah S. Dawson, which is set to drop August 27. It tells the story of the Resistance arriving at Batuu, which also happens to be the setting at the Galaxy’s Edge themed land at some of the Disney Parks (hence the tie-in novel). If you were looking for more Vi Moradi (and if you weren’t, what is your deal?), you’ll find it here–and Leia too. In the exclusive excerpt from the forthcoming novel, we see General Leia Organa setting Vi on her new mission, and–spoiler alert–Captian Cardinal of “I tortured Vi Moradi” fame is going to be her partner. I, for one, cannot wait to read this and also probably cry because Delilah S. Dawson wrote it and she makes me FEEL my FEELINGS.
Until next week!
