128 Fun Facts from Star Wars Resistance Season One - References, Easter Eggs, Connections and More! 

The show just got better as the episodes went on. Super exited to see the direction the show takes in season 2

I love how they ended season1 with "We're in hyperspace. Don't know where we're going, but we'll find out." I really enjoy that mystery aspect. Now I must wait

Aren’t Gorgs originally from Return of the Jedi, though? Jabba eats them, doesn’t he?

Any wagers on how long it takes before Hondo makes his appearance?

If your a person who is super onto following the canon but didjt give this show a chance, highly recommend. This show is lookingto become VERY important to the resistance as a whole. The Colossus may actually get a call out or even be seen in episode 9, as this may well be the new base of the resistance going forward

Kragan Gorr looks like Davy Jones. I bet Lucasfilm did that on purpose. Edit: Also, one of my favourite facts you forgot to mention is that Bo Keevil's yellow BB unit SC-X2 is based on concept art for BB-8. I was so hoping that design would be used someday.

I love this season’s portrayal of the First Order. Especially the way it’s all been gradually building up to The Force Awakens. I’m especially pleased with the voice acting, FO ships, and new armor/uniform designs.

For a show that got so much bs slung at it, I am 100% happy with season one. It ended fantastic. It looked fantastic. I feel fantastic. *fantastic*

Before you go, we must pay our respects RIP 4D-M1N and Major Vonreg You shall be missed

10:51 I wish that wasn’t changed We’re never going to get to see sequel Han again

Its like they took the prequel movie portions about racing and started to get more "star wars" as it went on. Good times :3

Commander Pyre is voiced by Liam MacIntyre. Previously known as the second actor to star in the title role of the STARZ series, "Spartacus," in the seasons, "Vengeance," and, "War of the Damned," replacing the original actor, Andy Whitfield, after his Non-Hogkins Lymphoma diagnosis and subsequent death in 2011.

Torah is Dva from Overwatch They look alike, they’re good pilots, and they protect small civilizations

Twenty-two glorious minutes of facts! Pure joy!

Whats the chances that its the Colosses whom ends up to be Leias mysterious friends at the end of TLJ? Wouldnt it be cool if the hero characters uses Colosses as a staging ground for a counter attack on the first order? Johan.

THIS PARTY IS GETTING CRAZY, can't wait to ROCK next season. ☺

Kragen's voice actor also played Riff Tamson in The Clone Wars, Mon Cala arc, who, ironically, subjigates both the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. I couldn't help noticing you forgot this little tidbit.

Also, one of Doza's assistant droids is voiced by the same actress who voiced Governor Pryce in Star Wars Rebels

One I think you missed, that only car guys would catch: Torra's racer appears to be an homage to the dominant Porsche 917 racecar from the late '60s and early '70s, with its classic Gulf Oil livery. The paint scheme is kind of a mix of the two designs used on the 917 in period. A Gulf livery 917 is the hero car in the 1971 Steve McQueen film Le Mans.

I love that this video has 128 facts and that the next video in my sub box is called “insane how many” 😂

Here’s my theory: Doza was originally the commander of Skystrike Academy. When the Empire fell he took the station, modified it to change it into a refueling station, flew it to Castilon and submerged it to escape his old life as an imperial officer. Since he has experience with pilots he relies on them for protection of the platform.

Here’s something I found interesting the voice actor who plays Pire also played Spartacus in the 2012 show. And the voice actor who played Von Reg play the doorman and Hundley the dachshund from Curious George.

Puffer pig bacon? lol I guess it was only a matter of time...

Did anyone notice how there is a stormtrooper stiffed in a closet on the station after the season finale? I wonder if it’s the same one that had to be reprogrammed and if we will get a story evolving him

It would've been dope if han and chewy showed up instead of yeager's brother. Maybe Han and Yeager could've known eachother from fighting together during the galactic civil war

Fantastic summary of all the connections to other media. Alex I hope you are eating right and working out. We need you to keep us straight on things like this!

I'm usually only for the Original Trilogy; I did like Episode's 1; 2 and 3 also...This "Star-Wars: Resistance" had a Great Story, and I found Myself actually binge watching until I had to Force Myself to slow down and save some Episodes for Later Boredom. They did a very Good Job, and I absolutely Loved the Return of The Battledroids.

What about the Lower City Cantina music from KOTOR that they used in Platform Classic? Other than that, great video as always!

A couple Easter eggs I noticed: There are a lot of nods to KOTOR, including the cantina music at Aunt Z’s, and Freya’s droid The sound of the First Order comlink communications is from the Republic Commando video game

the green alien in the red suit reminds me of the tourist from Lilo and Stitch who's icecream is always falling.

waited and seen the last 4 in a row. (yeah, even it after seeing your reviews, nothing was really spoiled), it made a nice turn at 16... i was very skeptichal, the fact you'd covered it helped and now I cant wait to a COLOSSAL season 2. Damm it Neeku! hahahaha! The video is nice as always and a good recap :)

So sad about Vonreg. Never got enough to do. You’ll be missed not-Cardinal

Admiral Snackbar! 🤣🤣

*ADMIRAL SNACKBAR* I'M DEAD.

Disney, Hasbro has to make the star wars 3.75 resistance vehicles they should also make 3.75 Ghost ship

Kinda disappointed they didn't have Han show up in that episode, because obviously he can't show up in any more episodes :/ oh well, I absolutely loved this series anyway.

Ugnaughts selling bacon is just unsettling.. lol. This was a nice list of fun facts/Easter eggs. Thanks!

I think you forgot, or maybe didn't mention bc you didn't feel it was relevant for this kind of video, but how about the new First Order Probe Droid being a combination of Imperial Models with added Assassin Probe (from TCW) Jedi Practice Drones? I really thought that was a nice touch, emphasizing that the First Order is technologically a marriage of Imperial and Republic designs, while also taking hints from Rebel or Separatist technologies.

Bell x1 the band will be so happy with that that’s also where they got their name also use a lot of Star Wars lyrics in their songs

You missed the reference from Dangerous Business where BB8 does the same grappling hook swing as Luke and Leia in A New Hope, the music is similar to the scene as well.

This show is so underrated.

With some coming seasons I have no doubt this show will polish up and balance make out between kid and adult audience like all the shows did

4:46 I feel like the Opeepit reference was just added for Ken lol

Oh man, I low-key forgot about Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds, that game was one of my all-time favorites! Gonna pop that in tonight now for sure thanks Alex!

What I coincidence, I close down your finale review and here’s your Easter egg video

Are you gonna do one for season 2? I just finished this series yesterday and I found it fascinating and amazing. Sad it had to come to an end. I really liked the tie ins to the movies.

Although he didn’t move his right arm on the Season Finale Part 2 On “Last...Day...” like in the Force Awakens

Vonreg’s fighter gives me literal eyegasms

13:46 I think that might just be a 'translation' from basic. I remember an episode of the Clone Wars mentioning 'titanic-sized' things.

Great video these facts and easter eggs are cool.

I like Star Wars resistance even though a lot of people don’t

Here’s a question for everyone: Pick 1 character from The Clone Wars or Rebels who think we will see in Season 2 of Resistance. And pick 1 character from The Clone Wars or Rebel’s you would like to see in Season 2

Did anyone else get Mass Effect feels from the elevator scene? lol I really like Resistance, and I can't wait to see where it goes and what new nuggets it adds to the lore.

The "Fresh for you" part reminded me of a local bubble tea shop near my apartment. There are little potted plants peppered all about the shop, and they all have gun-labels on them that say "Young For You" - and I'm going to assume it's meant to be the same as "Fresh" but there was a loss in translation there. Lmao.

Mandalorian helmet behind her looks like that of fenn rau

Amazing video. I didnt catch I lot of things. Thank youuuuuu!!!!!

20:22 *outch* that’s not good

This is awesome, but when is the resistance Q/A coming ?

Did Vonreg die? If Trench could survive what happened to him in the episode Cat and Mouse, why not Vonreg. He had shields on and he wasn't hit by a torpedo. Trench didn't have shields and was hit by several missiles. Why can't Vonreg be alive?

Tora's 'ewok' stuffed animal looks more like Gruffi Gumi from The Gummi Bears.

Just a note for pronunciation from an Irish person, Domhnall is pronounced Dough-null. Great facts!

Didn't even know this series existed

You missed one, that you actually put on screen, & didn't mention: 12:52, that hand puppet looking thing is the worm from the asteroid that the falcon was inside of, attempting to avoid the tie bombers, in "The Empire Strikes Back". I know it's late. I just got around to watching "resistance". 🤷🏾

Major Vonreg aka "Baron" kind of reminds me of the Red Baron in a way. Both were called Baron, and both were excellent pilots. The SW version has red armor too.

11:28 one of the banners kinda look like a helmet of the bad batch

You know what I find funny. Tora personal droid is never with her, is it only on stand by for star fighter use only?

20:24 RIP Hosnian system

the view on the Colossus out of Water reminded me of The Crimson Axe, a Starship used by the Pirate Captain Rav in the SW Legacy Comics. But I am pretty sure the Colossus is much larger.

I really hope the plush Ewok turns out to be Kettch.

In Aunt Z's bar you can see clone trooper helmets behind her in some scenes. You can see a 91st clone trooper helmet that looks like Neyos.

Doesn't pyre outrank phasma since commander is a rank above captain

The race announcer Proops voices is named Jak Sivrak. Sivrak is the last name of a Shistavanen (Wolfman) character from the Mos Eisley cantina (Lek Sivrak). If Jak Sivrak is also a Shistavanen, he’d be “Wolfman Jak,” a reference to the radio host from American Graffiti.

Did you say Admiral Snack Bar?

So cool! Thanks Alex and Mollie!

12:47 Kaz: OMIGOSH U HAVE A UCS MILLENNIUM FALCON?!?!

Wow, I’m pretty early... surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one

Thanks for the awesome video!

I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this, but the Colossus was meant to jump to the Resistance base seen in TFA and TLJ, but the coordinates were incomplete. Based on Hux's speech, this jump (later that same day) takes place while the Resistance is planning its assault on Starkiller Base. Since the Colossus is not seen in TLJ, we can assume they weren't at the evacuation or part of the chase during that film, likely because they emerged way off course, nowhere the Resistance base. Meaning they survive the First Order decimation of the Resistance, whose survivors are so few they can all fit in the Falcon at the end of TLJ. So there's a massive ship with a good number of anti-First Order/pro-Resistance citizens onboard. Even if not many of them want to join the fight, Captain Doza seems ready to do so and the Resistance could use the vessel itself, even if they drop most of the inhabitants off somewhere.

On the ejection seat handle, for push they have it as separate s and h whereas in Aurebesh there is Shen which is one letter for sh. Why'd they do that?

Still not convinced on the choice of animation. But definitely a great series, especially towards the end. 😀

I really like the green guy Neekoo (idk how to spell his name) in that show

The best SW channel EVER

that red pilot...CHAR!

@starwarsexplained Aunt Z is from the same species as Unkar Plutt?

Last time I got here so early, Anakin had the hight ground. Oh...

Nice video.

The grand inquisitor is actually from Utapau

space waffle with buffer bacon side or porg eggs no wait do porgs lay? oh crap cant I just have an elk steak.

Alex, Do you think the Colossus could have a role to play in Episode 9?

Please do a video on the Worrt creature found outside of jabbas palace #3day

I can’t wait till session 2 and do you think they will tie it to rebels?

Great video

Wait @15:12 the birds of Castellón are me?!! My last name HA!!

Watching this to see if I should actually finish this show

really because the galleon almost looks like a separartist providence class carrier only smaller

The cockpits in the T-70 X-Wing have T-65B interiors for some reason. Maybe because the cockpit of the T-70 X-Wing seen in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and Battlefront 2 looks too complicated. So the creators make the cockpit look simple for the show.

"AI will take our jobs!" AI: "...Wasn't finalized until the finale when it finally..."

Where do you even get this information? Like the only thing I saw were the Yeager jakku picture and the empire inspired equipment of the pirates

Dedication to the facts lol

You missed how Tierny=Tyranny.
