The First Order is here, and it means business.
Disney released a new trailer for “Star Wars Resistance” on Wednesday that teases just what Kaz and his friends are in for when the series returns from its midseason hiatus.
The trailer shows that the First Order has been increasing its presence on Colossus with more Stormtroopers occupying the station “for security.”
Kaz, who had originally been sent to the Outer Rim refueling station by the Resistance on an undercover mission to suss out “who’s loyal to the good guys and who isn’t,” is more than wary of the situation.
But it’s clear he’s more than willing to take on these foes in order to save Colossus.
The teaser’s biggest surprise, however, is the debut of a familiar First Order villain: General Hux.
General Hux, of course, is the ruthless, high-ranking First Order figure who first appeared in 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” Hux answered directly to Supreme Leader Snoke and commanded one of the galaxy’s most formidable superweapons.
The series, which is set some time before the events of “The Force Awakens,” has already featured other major characters from the movies, such as Poe, General Leia and Captain Phasma.
Disney also announced Wednesday that it has renewed “Star Wars Resistance” for a second season to premiere in the fall.
The first season resumes Jan. 13 on Disney Channel.
