Polygon Pictures animates series debuting on October 7

The official Star Wars Twitter posted a video introducing the characters from Lucasfilm's Star Wars: Resistance animated series on Wednesday.

The series will follow the adventures of Kazuda "Kaz" Xiono (voiced by Christopher Sean), a newly minted Resistance pilot tasked to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. As part of his undercover mission, he s "Team Fireball," a racing team on the station Colossus.

The video details the other of Team Fireball. Jarek Yeager (Scott Lawrence) is a Rebellion pilot-turned-mechanic who helps Kaz go undercover on Colossus. Tam Ryvora (Suzie McGrath) is also a mechanic who used to be a racer before she lost her ship, and Neeku (Josh Brenner) is an ever-optimistic alien. Lastly, the team includes an astromech droid named Bucket, who likes wearing pilot helmets.

The team gets its name from a ship they are trying to restore, called "Fireball" because it tends to catch fire or explode.

The series is set before the events of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens film and will also feature such characters as Leia Organa, Poe Dameron, and Captain Phasma (as voiced by Rachel Butera, Oscar Isaac, and Gwendoline Christie, respectively).

Disney XD and around the world.

Brandon Auman as executive producers. Amy Beth Christenson is the art director.

Polygon Pictures is perhaps best known for the two established a t venture with the manga creator in March.
