  • Main character ‘Kazuda’ or ‘Kaz’ is an homage to Star Wars writer Lawrence Kasdan.
  • Each canon Star Wars animated series is roughly half as long as its predecessor. Counting lost episodes and the impending new season, The Clone Wars ran for 7-8 seasons. Its successor, Star Wars Rebels, ran for four. And Resistance’s second season will be its last, meaning it only runs for two seasons total.
  • Dee Bradley Baker and Rachael MacFarlane team up again as they provide voices on American Dad (2005), which is created by Rachael’s older brother Seth MacFarlane.
