Lucasfilm's upcoming anime-inspired series Star Wars Resistance is less than two weeks away and, on account of this, Disney recently revealed a ton of new information on the impending episodes. Over on their ABC Press website, the synopses for the first five episodes of season one have been added.
The synopses give us the gist of each episode's plot as well as reveal a couple of guest stars who will be appearing throughout the season.
Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings) and Donald Faison (Scrubs) show up in one episode. Jim Rash (Community) and Bobby Moynihan (DuckTales) appear, seemingly as a duo, in two. Oscar Isaac and Gwendoline Christie also appear, reprising their roles from the film saga as Poe Dameron and Captain Phasma respectively.
