Star Wars Resistance is set to come out early in October, and naturally the show has some guest voices from some well-known actors. We know original actors Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie will reprise their roles of Poe and Phasma, but a new synopsis reveal shows that we will also be getting a guest-appearance from Lord of the Rings' Elijah Wood.
This is the breakdown as per Star Wars Underworld:
"The Recruit Parts 1&2"(October 7th)
X-wing pilot Kazuda Xiono is recruited for the Resistance, but finds himself in over his head when Poe Dameron assigns him to a remote fueling station to spy on the First Order. Then, after Kaz boasts about being the best pilot around, he is forced to compete in a dangerous sky race.
*Guest starring is Oscar Isaac ("Star Wars: The Last Jedi") as Poe Dameron, Jim Rash ("Community") and Bobby Moynihan ("DuckTales") as Flix and Orka, respectively.
"The Triple Dark"(October 14th)
Kaz and BB-8 uncover information on an imminent pirate attack and must find a way to stop it.
*Gwendoline Christie ("Star Wars: The Last Jedi") guest stars as Captain Phasma.
"Fuel For The Fire"(October 21st)
Kaz befriends a sky racer named Rucklin who pressures him to take some rare and dangerous hyperfuel hidden in Yeager's office.
*Elijah Wood ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy) guest stars as Jace Rucklin.
"The High Tower"(October 28th)
The First Order arrives at the platform for mysterious reasons and Kaz and BB-8 are determined to sneak into the tower to find out what they want.
*Donald Faison ("Scrubs") guest stars as Hype Fazon.
As you can see, other actors from established shows are also going to appear on Resistance, but so far, Wood is probably the most popular among the bunch. If you're not familiar with any of his voiceover work, I suggest you go check out the fantastic mini-series Over the Garden Wall. Wood voices the protagonist Wirt, and it's the perfect show to get you into the Halloween season.
Admittedly, reactions for Resistance have not been that stellar. While some may trash it for the taste in humor, some are bashing the show for the choice in animation. I'll admit, I'm not so crazy about the cell-shaded look, but I'm sure that it will eventually hammer me down by the time episode two comes in.
Not to mention, the main audience for Resistance is the kids, and most of the complaints are coming from the older fanboys. Just remember, no one is forcing you to watch this.
