By now, Star Wars Resistance, the latest animated series in the Star Wars franchise, is on its second week of running on both Disney Channel and Disney XD, and on its third episode (as the premiere date was a 2-episode double feature). The setting is introduced and the main characters are presented with their respective circumstances, in the background of galactic events building up to Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
We’ve covered the pilots of Ace Squadron in a prior list, so now we’ll touch on the other supporting cast and possible antagonists for Resistance:
- Ace Squadron – the mercenary starfighter unit of Colossus Station in planet Castilon; doubles as a racing circuit when not fighting outside threats
- Team Fireball – the support unit of Kazuda Xiono, based on the starship repair yard run by Jarek Yeager
- Jarek Yeager (Scott Lawrence) – veteran pilot and old friend of Dameron Poe; runs a repair yard and gives Resistance agent Kazuda a home and workplace while steering clear of his spying activities
- Tam Ryvora (Suzie McGrath) – wannabe starfighter racer from Kuat, working as a mechanic for Jarek; almost finished fixing the Fireball as her personal racing craft only for Kazuda to take over from her
- Neeku Vozo (Josh Brener) – a Kadas’sa’Nikto employee of Jarek’s shop; possibly autistic
- R1-J5 aka “Bucket” – Jarek’s old astromech droid partner that likes wearing Rebel Alliance helmets
- Colossus Station– a starship refueling station on the water planet of Castilon
- Imanuel Doza – captain of the Colussus and overprotective dad of Ace pilot Torra Doza
- Flix (Jim Rash) – humanoid avian and co-proprietor of Flix and Orka’s Office of Acquisitions
- Orka (Bobby Moynihan) – a Chadra-Fan and co-proprietor with Flix of their Office of Acquisitions
- Aunt Z’Vk’Thkrkza (Tovah Feldshuh) – the Gilliand barkeep of Aunt Z’s Tavern; she runs the Ace Squadron race betting pool
- Jace Rucklin (Elijah Wood) – a Colossus starfighter racer who tries to get one up of Kazuda while pretending to be friendly

- Grevel (Dee Bradley Baker) – an Aleena con man who sets ups Colossus newcomers to run up debts to him
- Jav Sivrak (Greg Proops) – Colossus race announcer
- Space Pirates– the sort of danger an isolated refueling station like Colossus tends to attract
- Kragan (Gary Anthony Williams) – a Quarren commander of a space pirate crew; frequently attacks Colossus
- Synara San (Nazneen Contractor) – part of Kragan’s crew; a beautiful junk salvager
- The Resistance – formed as a deniable asset to oppose the First Order, an insurgency in First Order-controlled space that in theory cannot be linked to the New Republic
- General Leia Organa (Rachel Butera) – former New Republic Senator; Resistance founder and leader
- Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) – Resistance ace pilot and Kazuda’s intelligence handler
- BB-8 – Poe’s astromech droid
- C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) – Leia’s longtime protocol droid
- First Order– Galactic Empire remnants under Supreme Leader Snoke; plots to destroy the New Republic and conquer the Galaxy from their Outer Rim stronghold
