Lucasfilm has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Star Wars Resistance showcasing the new characters, the “Aces.” You can check out the video in the player below.

The Aces are the top and most daring pilots of the platform featured in the show. The series premieres on Sunday, October 10 at 10:00 pm EST on the Disney Channel. Here’s a synopsis:

The adventure series follows Kazuda Xiono (“Kaz”), a young pilot recruited by the Resistance for a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order. In the one-hour premiere titled “The Recruit,” Poe and BB-8 assign newly-appointed spy Kaz to the Colossus, a massive aircraft re-fueling platform on an outer rim water planet, 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.
