Star Wars Rebels finished its four season run back in March, but fans of animated adventures within the Star Wars universe don`t have to wait for the next series. Star Wars: Resistance premieres on the Disney Channel in October and the first trailer has been released.Resistance was created by Dave Filoni, who oversaw both Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and it looks like a similar mix of comedy, drama, and epic space action. The show focuses on a young pilot named Kazuda, who is recruited by the Resistance to take on a top-secret mission to infiltrate the First Order. Check the trailer out above.As the trailer reveals, there are a couple of familiar faces alongside the new characters. Droid fan favorite BB-8 is in there, and there`s an appearance from Poe Dameron from the recent Saga movies, voiced by Oscar Isaac. Star Wars: Resistance premieres at 10PM ET/PT on October 7.When Resistance was first announced in April, Filoni spoke about his inspirations. `The idea for [the show] came out of my interest in World War II aircraft and fighter pilots,` he said. `My grandfather was a pilot and my uncle flew and restored planes, so that`s been a big influence on me. There`s a long history of high-speed racing in Star Wars, and I think we`ve captured that sense of excitement in an anime-inspired style, which is something the entire team has been wanting to do for a long time.`In related news, The Clone Wars is also returning. The show seemingly ended with a short sixth season on Netflix in 2014, with many of the storylines incomplete. But at San Diego Comic Con last month, Disney announced that Season 7 is on the way. It will be overseen by Filoni once more, and is set to premiere on the studio`s upcoming streaming platform, which launches next year.
