Before rewatching Star Wars Resistance with my daughter, I decided to rent the DVD Season 1 set from the library. There are many special features for Star Wars fans included in the audio commentary on four episodes of the series.

The commentary is done by voice actors Christopher Sean (Kazuda Xiono), Josh Brener (Neeku Vozo), Myrna Garcia Velasco (Torra Doza), and Scott Lawrence (Jarek Yeager). They did commentary on "The High Tower," "The Platform Classic," "Bibo," and the Season 1 finale, "No Escape: Part 2."

A lot of insight can be gained as you listen to their reactions and what they focused on involving the series. For example, Josh Brener said that he had to record and do several different takes and versions of Neeku's memorable laugh. He didn't know until he saw the show which one had been selected.

All four recalled that even though they recorded for the series, they would...

“Primos” is a new animated family comedy series, inspired by creator Natasha Kline’s childhood experience in Southern California, starring Myrna Velasco, Angélica María, Cheech Marin, Melissa Villaseñor, Nellie Ramirez Humphrey; Jim Conroy, Michelle Ortiz, Liza Koshy, and Mark Consuelos, debuting July 25, 2024 on Disney Channel, followed by July 26, 2024 streaming on Disney+:

“…leading to a summer of surprises and unforgettable adventures…”

After much speculation, the Disney animated series Primos has resurfaced with a brand-new premiere date. Originally meant to premiere earlier this month, the controversial series will now premiere on Thursday, July 25th, at 8:00 pm Est on The Disney Channel and will release on Disney+ the next day.

The series was originally announced in June 2023 as a show focusing on a young girl named Tater Ramirez Humphrey. She is forced to live with her extended family, mostly cousins, hence the show’s title, “Primos.”

However, the show immediately drew backlash over its portrayals of certain characters as Mexican/Latin American stereotypes. Even the show’s title, “Primos,” is technically incorrect as “Primo” refers to male in Spanish while “Prima” refers to female, and she has both male and female cousins. Not to mention the comparisons to Nickelodeon’s The Loud House.

The backlash escalated when the show’s lead voice actress,...

Nearly one year ago, Disney released a trailer for a brand new animated series “Primos.” The show centered on a ten-year-old girl named Tater Ramírez-Humphrey, the daughter of a mixed Mexican American family who must spend the summer with her twelve cousins.

The series almost immediately drew controversy surrounding its portrayal of some of the characters as stereotypes and the mispronunciations of certain words. In fact the world “Primo” is used as a masculine description while “Prima” is used as a feminine description as the Spanish language tends to use gender specific terms.

There were also criticisms comparing the show to the popular Nickelodeon cartoon The Loud House, which had a very similar premise, with the main character living in a house with ten other adolescent family members.

The situation only worsened when the series’ lead vice actress, Myrna Velasco, took to her Instagram to respond to the backlash and...

Since 1969, the "Scooby-Doo" franchise has been providing family-fun thrills and chills for generations, spawning spin-off cartoons, two live-action movies, video games, and countless animated films and specials. The Scooby Snack-loving dog and his mystery gang have a firm, loveable place in pop culture. The newest animated film, "Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!" made waves all over the internet for the past month for making a bold character choice, officially canonizing the loveable and brainy Velma Dinkley as a lesbian.

Directed by Audie Harrison of "Uncle Grandpa" fame, "Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!" is a Halloween special where the Scooby gang finds themselves in a mystery involving famous fashion designer Coco Diablo (Myrna Velasco), who Velma (Kate Micucci) develops feelings for. She blushes and dorkily smiles as she interacts with Coco, an adorable, cartoonish way of portraying a young crush. The clips of their interactions went viral, and fandom rejoiced over their newfound representation.

Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons marks a couple of firsts, although they’ve had several print team-ups and their own comic, it’s the first on-screen pairing of the sons of DC’s biggest superheroes. It’s also the first of DC’s animated films to be completely done by computer, using the same styling as Marvel’s “What If” series.

It opens with a pre-credits recap of how Superman came to Earth, only with one small addition, which may seem puzzling, but will be explained later in the film. That’s followed by what is basically another origin story, that of Superboy, aka Jonathan Kent the son of Superman, and Lois Lane.

One of the most recognizable characters in cartoons has become officially recognized as a lesbian in a canon franchise film with the recent release of Trick Or Treat Scooby-Doo! in which the character Velma Dinkley develops a crush on a woman.

The subject of Velma’s affections is an original character named Coco Diablo, who is also bespectacled with a turtleneck like Velma’s, and is also apparently the leader of a crime syndicate the Mystery Gang is pitted against.

While some fans have always contended that the character was gay in her previous iterations, it had never been confirmed by her original creators. studio brass at Warner Bros. was also allegedly hesitant to allow creatives working on Scooby Doo projects to make implications about Velma’s sexuality.

Director James Gunn,...

Jinkies! Brainy Scooby Gang member Velma is finally allowed to be gay in the new Warner Bros. Animated movie “Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!” Some fans couldn’t be happier after James Gunn‘s attempt 20 years ago was shot down.

Clips from the upcoming movie, which hit digital on Tuesday, show Velma, voiced by Kate Micucci, swooning over costume designer Coco Diablo (Myrna Velasco of “DC Super Hero Girls”) — her glasses steam up — and getting an enormous, goofy grin when Coco touches her shoulder.

A Twitter user named Trin tweeted, in all caps: “Omg Lesbian Velma Finally Canon Canon In The Movies Lets Goooooo.”

The upcoming film Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! appears to confirm fan speculation about Velma Dinkley’s interest in women.

HBO Max’s new movie was made available for purchase via digital platforms Tuesday, and footage from it has circulated widely on social media. A number of viral posts focus on fans’ elated responses to scenes showing the bespectacled sleuth, as voiced in the new movie by Kate Micucci, expressing interest in female character Coco Diablo, voiced by Myrna Velasco.

After Velma seems smitten upon meeting Coco, a fashion designer with a criminal past, Velma’s longtime friend and fellow detective Daphne (Grey Griffin) quips, “I didn’t know convicted felons were your type.”

This leads a flustered Velma to reply, “What? Type — me? Please. Who has time for a type? We have our work cut out for us, and I am focused like a laser on … Ok,...

The long-circulating rumor is true: HBO Max’s new movie Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! acknowledges that the franchise’s Velma is LGBTQ.

In a scene from the toon pic, the brainy, bespectacled Mystery Inc. character is visibly smitten with a female foil.

“I always thought it was a strange coincidence that all our cases seem to involve some supernatural creature,” Daphne (voiced by Grey Griffin), says. To which Velma (Kate Micucci) replies, “But it wasn’t a coincidence — these costumes were created by one person.”

Enter Coco Diablo (Myrna Velasco), the head of the notorious costume crime syndicate behind the creepy costumes. As Coco tosses her long white hair, Velma mentally surveys the scene and notes: “Incredible glasses!” “Amazing turtleneck!” “Obviously brilliant!” “Loves animals!”

Cut to shot of Velma’s glasses fogging up and her blushing.

The official trailers for the movie don’t include the scene, but Twitter has...

Jinkies! Velma falls for a female felon in the latest Scooby-Doo! movie, and fans couldn’t be more proud.

Currently making the rounds on social media, a clip from Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! finds Velma (voiced by Kate Micucci) falling head over heels for Coco Diablo (Myrna Velasco), the brilliant leader of a “notorious costume crime syndicate.”

Star Wars Resistance season 2 is happening and it's coming in Fall 2019. Here's everything you need to know...

Star Wars Resistance season 2 is set for liftoff, according to Disney. The show was renewed midway through the first season, which sees Kazuda Xiono, a young pilot turned Resistance spy, investigate a station called the Colossus and its connections to the First Order. Along the way, he makes a few friends and participates in high-stakes races with a pretty junky ship called the Fireball. 

The show, which is set years after Return of the Jedi and just before The Force Awakens, has plenty of connections to Episode VII. The valiant Poe Dameron plays a supporting role on the show as Kazuda's mentor while Captain Phasma leads her forces in the days before her mission to Jakku. General Hux and Starkiller Base have also appeared on the series. As an extension of the Sequel Trilogy,...

Star Wars Resistance will live to fight another day. Disney Channel has ordered up a sophomore season of the animated Lucasfilm saga with a Fall 2019 premiere episode.

The first season of Star Wars Resistance resumes on Jan. 13 on Disney Channel and DisneyNOW with the ongoing adventures of Kazuda (“Kaz”) Xiono, the young pilot recruited by the Resistance for a top-secret spying mission to scout out the expanding threat presented by the First Order.

It was a busy morning for Resistance forces. The Star Wars YouTube page also released a new Star Wars Resistance mid-season trailer, which can be found below. The preview includes the first look at a major villain imported from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the 2015 theatrical juggernaut that piled up more than $2 billion in worldwide box office, the third highest total in Hollywood history.

Star Wars Resistance premiered in Oct. 2018 as the anime-informed animated saga of the...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas created a sci-fi franchise so vast and so enduring, new stories are still being told. The latest installment in that universe is Disney’s animated series “Star Wars Resistance,” which takes place between the events of “Return of the Jedi” and “The Force Awakens.”

In the series, New Republic pilot Kazuda Xiono (Christopher Sean) is recruited by Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) as a spy on Colossus, a massive refueling station on the ocean planet Castilon. While he works as a mechanic, he also gets involved racing the ace pilots who are defending the station.

“Resistance” isn’t just a retread of the same two-sided conflict story that’s been told before in “Star Wars,” and it both looks and feels different as well. Here’s a breakdown of how “Resistance” sets itself apart from the rest of the galactic franchise:

Fewer Stars,...

“Being an ace is not all fun and games, it can be dangerous.”

If you’ve ever wanted to see what Top Gun might be like in a galaxy far far way, Star Wars Resistance is going to give you that! We’ve got a wicked cool new extended trailer for the animated series for you to watch today and I think it gives us our best look yet at the series and the exciting fast-paced tone. I love what I’m seeing from this show and it’s going to be a blast!

The show revolves around a character named Kazuda Xiono, who is described as "a young pilot recruited by the Resistance whose mission is to spy on the growing threat of the First Order." We also knew that Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie) would be a part of this new Star Wars adventure.

The Disney Channel has released the story details for the first five episodes on the upcoming animated series Star Wars Resistance. It’s revealed in the one of the synopsis that Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings) is set to be a guest star in the series, which is pretty cool! Now, Wood joins his Lotr co-star Dominic Monaghan in the galaxy far for away. Monaghan was recently cast in Star Wars: Episode IX.

He will be appearing in the episode titled “Fuel For The Fire” and he will provide the voice of a pilot named Jace Rucklin. Below you will find all the details for the first five episodes of Star Wars Resistance:

“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.

Take a look at more new footage from the anime-inspired, LucasFilm TV series "Star Wars Resistance", highlighting the pilot 'aces', airing over the Disney Channel and Disney Xd worldwide, October 7, 2018:

"...'Torra Doza' (Myrna Velasco) is the daughter of 'Captain Doza and the youngest of the group. 'Hype Fazon' (Donald Faison) is the best pilot in the Aces, but he makes no secret he's only in it for the credits and the glory. 'Griff Halloran' (Stephen Stanton) was a 'Tie' pilot during the age of the 'Galactic Empire' and he still makes use of his gear from 'the good old days'. 'Freya Fenris' (Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) is serious, logical, and does not suffer fools lightly.

"Now 'Poe Dameron' tasks young pilot 'Kazuda Xiono' with spying on the 'First Order'. At the time, little was known about the secretive organization and its strength. In order to fulfill his mission, Kaz travels to the space station 'Colossus',...

I’ve got a great new featurette for Lucasfilm’s upcoming animated series Star Wars Resistance. It introduces us to a team of talented and daring pilots known as The Aces and in the process shows off a lot of cool new footage that offers us some insight into who these characters are and the role that they’ll play in the series. This team of pilots are hired to serve and protect the Colossus platform in the series. This is actually a group of fun and interesting characters. I’m pretty excited about this series and I like everything that I’ve seen from it so far!

When the show was first announced, we learned that it would revolve around a character named Kazuda Xiono, who is described as "a young pilot recruited by the Resistance whose mission is to spy on the growing threat of the First Order.

A new piece of poster art and a featurette have been released for Lucasfilm's upcoming animated series Star Wars Resistance and they highlight the new characters that will fill the story and make up Team Fireball. I also like the little tagline that comes with it: "Some Heroes Stick To The Plan. Others Just Wing It."

The Fireball team consists of, Jarek Yeager, former Rebellion pilot who is trying to live a quiet life as a mechanic. That all changes when Poe and Leia ask for his help; Tam Ryvora, a fellow mechanic who used to be a racer herself before she lost her ship. “She’s tough, no-nonsense, she kind of has attitude"; Neeku, a green naive alien, who is an "unbelievably positive, happy character"; and Bucket, a droid who has a thing for wearing X-wing fighter pilot helmets.

I enjoyed what I saw in the trailer that...

X-wings, fall in!

Disney and Lucasfilm have peeled back the tarpaulin on a shiny new banner image for Star Wars Resistance, and this one is all about assembling the next generation of fighter pilots.

Front and center here is Kazuda “Kaz” Xiono (voiced by Days of Our Lives alum Christopher Sean), the Resistance’s latest recruit who hopes to spy on the First Order and impress his commanding officer, who just so happens to be Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac).

Remember, this newfangled animated series takes place before The Force Awakens, meaning Poe is yet to cross paths with Finn and Rey. It opens up a fascinating avenue for Resistance to explore, too, and we know from Rebels and The Clone Wars that Lucasfilm tends to strike lucky when dabbling with animated adventures set within the Star Wars universe.

Will Star Wars Resistance uphold that trend? Who knows, but below you’ll see Kaz and Co.

Last week Disney Xd released the first trailer for Lucasfilm's new animated series Star Wars Resistance and for the most part, fans seemed to like what they saw. Now we've got some cool additional news regarding the series to share with you.

It's been confirmed that Princess Leia will appear in the series and the character will be voiced by Rachel Butera. The actress announced the news herself in the following Twitter post:

The Disney Channel has premiered the first look trailer at its newest branch of Star Wars adventures, Star Wars: Resistance.

The series will concentrate on introducing a few new faces to the saga which is set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. However, at least four familiar faces of Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie), and Bb-8 along with General Leia – who is to be voiced by Rachel Butera – will be making an appearance.

Also lending their voices to the series are Donald Faison, Jim Rash, Bobby Moynihan and Myrna Velasco and Rachel Butera. The animated saga is created by Lucasfilm Animation veteran Dave Filoni and executive produced by Athena Portillo, Justin Ridge and Brandon Auman.

Fans won’t have to wait until “Star Wars” Episode IX to see Poe Dameron and his trusty droid Bb-8 again. Thanks to creator Dave Filoni, they’ll appear on the small screen first in the animated prequel series “Star Wars Resistance,” which premieres this October on Disney Channel.

Once the series premieres on Disney Channel, it will roll out on Disney Channels worldwide.

According to Disney’s official description of the one-hour premiere titled “The Recruit”:

The Resistance is afoot.

Ahead of its fall premiere on Disney Xd, the Mouse House has officially peeled back the curtain on Star Wars Resistance, the anime-inspired TV show which features the voices of Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie (and Bb-8!), the star-crossed duo who were previously seen at loggerheads during The Last Jedi.

For Resistance, though, Lucasfilm plans to roll back the years to a time before The Force Awakens, when budding X-wing pilot Kazuda Xiono mounts a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order.

Beyond that, little is known about the core plot, but today brings forth our first peek at the show’s ensemble cast – a cast that is naturally divided between the dark side and the light.

He’ll be whisked off on a high-flying adventure that will supposedly cater to the whole family, while there’s also word of “colorful new characters” to help flesh out what are essentially Kaz’s first steps in the Star Wars universe.
