Star Wars animation fans will soon have the chance to bring home the complete first season of Resistance, complete with plenty of bonus features.
If you missed out on Star Wars Resistance, the latest animated adventure in the galaxy far, far away when it aired, you’ll get the chance to enjoy the first season at your leisure next month. Disney/Lucasfilm has announced the DVD of the show will arrive on August 20th with all 21 episodes, bonus shorts, and more special features to enjoy:
Star Wars Resistance: Complete Season One delivers more than eight hours of entertainment including 21 action-packed episodes, 4 audio commentaries, 12 bonus shorts and an exclusive sneak-peek at the making of the series with cast and crew.
The first season follows Kazuda (“Kaz”) Xiono, a young pilot recruited by Resistance hero Poe Dameron for a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. Stationed aboard an aircraft refueling station, Kaz quickly finds himself in over his head as he struggles to keep his cover as a mechanic while gaining the trust of his newfound friends. They find themselves entangled with ace pilots, marauding pirates and creatures of all shapes and sizes.

To be honest, I’m super bummed that there’s no blu-ray coming as well. The show itself features some of the best animation we’ve seen from Star Wars, with incredible colors, characters, and action. Not being able to watch it in the highest quality possible just seems to do the show some injustice. Still, if you haven’t gotten around to the series yet, it’s definitely worth checking out.
Will you be picking up the Star Wars Resistance Season 1 DVD when it arrives next month?
