History Recap / StarWarsResistanceS1E1TheRecruit

At Yeager's shop, Kaz is shown the ship he's being loaned, the "Fireball", which he's been told is named due to its tendency to explode. He's not impressed, noting its state of disrepair. Hearing this, the final member of Yeager's crew, Tam Ryvora, pops out, affronted at what she takes as an insult about her mechanical skills. She's further infuriated when Yeager tells her he's loaning the Fireball to Kaz as a favour, as she's already been promised the ship if she can repair it, and storms off in a huff. Torra drops by briefly to wish her opponent good luck. After realizing that a lot of work is needed to get the Fireball flight-worthy for tomorrow, Kaz and Neeku are sent to Flix and Orka's shop for parts.

The next day, Kaz and Torra race. Kaz does quite well, but pushes the Fireball too hard and crashes, losing. He wakes up in Yeager's shop, with Torra and the rest of Team Fireball present. Afterwards, Yeager takes Kaz off for a talk, wishing him good luck on his mission but clarifying that he doesn't want to get involved.

* TheCameo: Ello Asty is the Abednedo pilot that we see when the scene cuts to Kaz climbing aboard the Resistance ship.

** Poe says that the Resistance ship has been in service since [[Film/RogueOne the Battle of Scarif]] to the Battle of Jakku.

* PrideBeforeAFall: Kaz nearly suffer a lethal dose of this trope when he thought he could win a race against Torra by pushing the ramshackle Fireball's engines too hard. Luckily Yeager reminds him that he's not there to win but to survive (he still suffers his engine catching on fire, but it didn't explode into his ship namesake).

After an incident with a rigged dart causes a BarBrawl, Poe's contact, and Neeku's boss, former Rebel pilot Jarek Yeager, is not particularly thrilled at the prospect of letting Kaz work in his shop. After Kaz explains to Neeku that he's not the greatest pilot in the galaxy, Neeku is hurt, assuming that Kaz was intentionally lying, not quite understanding the concept of hyperbole. Kaz's attempt to apologize to Neeku leads Neeku to, in a well-meaning attempt to help Kaz achieve his dream of being a great pilot, announce that Kaz will be challenging in the race tomorrow. Kaz wants to back out, but is told he can't. Poe wishes him luck before leaving, asking BB-8 to stay and keep an eye on him.

Three New Republic X-Wings are in a dogfight with a red First Order TIE fighter. Two of the pilots are concerned that they won't be able to hold out long enough for Poe Dameron of the Resistance to arrive, but the third, Kazuda Xiono, is insistent that they can do so. He persuades the other pilots to escape into hyperspace while he delivers the intel, and covers them while they do so. He manages to hold out against Major Vonreg for a little bit longer, but then his engine is knocked out. Fortunately, Poe arrives just in time, and the two of them manage to drive the red-armoured pilot off before a Resistance corvette arrives.

* TemptingFate: Poe promising Yeager that Kaz won't be any problem, just as Grevel slammed into the window behind them.

* TheCavalry: During the opening dogfight, after Kaz's fellow New Republic pilots have left, Poe arrives just in time to prevent

* HeroWorshipper: Kaz is thrilled when he hears Poe is about to meet with '''the''' Leia Organa and asks him to tell her that he thinks that she's the bravest person in the galaxy.

''Poe and BB-8 assign newly-appointed spy Kaz to the Colossus, a massive aircraft re-fueling platform on the Outer Rim water planet Castilon, home to colorful new aliens, droids and creatures. While undercover, Kaz works as a mechanic and lives with Poe’s old friend Yeager, a veteran pilot who operates a starship repair shop run by his crew: Tam, Neeku and their old battered astromech droid, Bucket. Kaz soon finds himself in over his head with his new friend BB-8 as he’ll have to compete in dangerous sky races, keep his mission a secret from his newfound family, and avoid the danger of the First Order.''

''X-wing pilot Kazuda Xiono is recruited for the Resistance, but finds himself in over his head when Poe Dameron assigns him to a remote fueling station to spy on the First Order. Then, after Kaz boasts about being the best pilot around, he is forced to compete in a dangerous sky race.''
