Recap / Star Wars Resistance S0E2 "Dart and Cover"

Go To

The second of twelve shorts connected to Resistance's first season, released on the Disney Channel's YouTube on December 10, 2018.


Kaz is throwing darts at Aunt Z's, with an audience including Neeku, Torra and BB-8, as well as Bucket and Bolza Grool. All three of his shots hit the target, but Bucket decides he'd like to have a turn. Neeku decides he's going to stand behind Torra. Everyone is shocked when the ramshackle astromech's first two darts hit the centre, and Kaz laughs when Bucket's third dart goes off course, only for it to ricochet around and strike him in the rear. Kaz yells angrily, and chases after Bucket as the droid flees the scene.


Tropes:

  • Accidental Aiming Skills: On his third throw, Bucket was aiming for the dartboard. Instead, the dart goes wildly off-course, ricochets around the room, and hits Kaz in the bum.
  • Call-Back: Just like in "The Recruit", a thrown dart goes off-course and hits someone in a tender area. Unlike last time, though, the dart wasn't rigged, and instead of Kaz being the thrower, he's now the victim.
  • Continuity Nod: Just like in "The Recruit", Kaz plays holo-darts well. Unlike last time, none of the darts are rigged.
  • Human Shield: Neeku steps behind Torra when Bucket decides he's going to have a turn at darts.
  • Offhand Backhand: Aunt Z casually deflects Bucket's out-of-control dart with a swiftly-raised tray.
  • Pun-Based Title: Duck and cover, everyone!
  • Say My Name: Kaz yells "BUCKET!!" after getting a dart to the rear, as the droid flees the tavern.
  • Shot in the Ass: Bucket's third dart goes out of control, ricochets around and hits Kaz in the glutes.
  • Tempting Fate: Kaz laughs when Bucket's last dart goes off-course, only for it to ricochet around and hit him in the ass.
