Recap / Star Wars Resistance S0E7 "Bucket's Quest"

Go To

The seventh of twelve shorts part of the first season, released on YouTube on December 23, 2018.


Bucket comes out of his closet to find that his helmet is missing. In a panic, he asks Kaz, working on some parts, where it is, but Kaz doesn't know. After the droid remarks that he feels naked without the helmet, Kaz suggests that he retrace his steps in case he lost the helmet somewhere. In the Colossus marketplace, Bucket gets laughed at by several droids due to his lack of helmet. Eventually, he winds up at the Office of Acquisitions, where Flix and Orka take a moment to notice there's something different about him. They offer to sell Bucket a replacement helmet. When Bucket returns to the repair shop, wearing a mechanical propeller beanie, he finds Tam and BB-8, the latter of whom is wearing the missing helmet. Tam admits, when Bucket expresses anger, that BB just wanted to try the helmet on, and she tells BB that he looks good in it. Bucket attacks BB, rolling into him offscreen. Bucket's helmet is flung into the air, where it's caught by Kaz, who was working on the Fireball oblivious to the argument. Kaz tells Bucket he's found his helmet, and Bucket retrieves it before smacking Kaz in the leg and rolling off in a huff.


Tropes:

  • Not So Above It All: Tam, for the first time onscreen, engages in some goofing off.
  • Recycled Premise: This short has a similar plot to the first one, "The Search for Kaz", only focusing on Bucket instead of BB-8.
  • Swapped Roles: Normally, Tam is the workaholic and Kaz is the one who goofs off. In this short, the roles are reversed, with Kaz hard at work in his time onscreen, while Tam is goofing off helping BB-8 see how he'd look in Bucket's helmet.
