The Resistance Broadcast – No Star Wars: Episode IX Title till Celebration?!
It is looking more and more like J.J. Abrams is holding the title of Star Wars: Episode IX until the trailer debuts at the movie’s panel at Star Wars Celebration on April 12th. We talk about the panel announcement and speculate on why they may be going against the grain and holding the title until then, and trust me, we all have very different points of view on this! It became quite the interesting discussion.
We also talk more about Star Wars Celebration as we are nearly three weeks away from the epic event!
To close it out, as always, we answer your questions in Ask The Resistance like who are our favorite characters from Resistance, and would we ever go into a Star Wars movie completely fresh, no trailers, no clips, nothing!

Star Wars Episode IX: Oscar Isaac on How the Movie Concludes Leia and Poe’s Story, and C-3PO’s Bigger Role
Oscar Isaac confirms that among the unused footage of Carrie Fisher’s Leia that will be implemented into Star Wars: Episode IX are scenes he filmed with Fisher that were previously left on the cutting room floor for The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. It’s been known for a while that footage of Fisher would be included in the film, but now we know for certain that it will involve scenes of her acting alongside the major characters of Episode IX.
Spoiler Review – ‘Star Wars: Queen’s Shadow’ by E.K. Johnston Will Change Your Perspective on Amidala and Her Handmaidens
If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to read Star Wars: Queen’s Shadow by author E.K. Johnston (Ahsoka), then I strongly recommend you check it out at the earliest opportunity. The story details Padmé Amidala’s rise to prominence as a galactic senator, but the heart of this tale truly lies in the amazing women that she surrounded herself with on a regular basis. Fans of Padmé will love this story as Johnston masterfully highlights everything about the queen-turned-senator that makes her the galactic hero that her fans already know her to be. Those previously indifferent to the character may learn some new things about her and her entourage along the way that will change their perspective forever. Spoilers ahead…

Review – Your Favorite Droids Return To A Familiar Desert Planet In ‘C-3PO Does Not Like Sand’ (PSST….. It takes place between The Last Jedi and Episode IX)
If you’ve been hoping for a Threepio and Artoo adventure set in the sequel trilogy era, I don’t think you’ve been alone. This duo is what got the grand Star Wars party started in 1977 aboard Tantive IV. One thing that’s seemed kind of odd to me about the latest films is we’ve yet to see Threepio and Artoo interact much onscreen. I don’t blame the filmmakers, as there’s certainly a lot of ground to cover with more prominent characters but I can’t say it’s something I haven’t noticed. I’ve heard other fans mention it, too, so C-3PO Does Not Like Sand! from author Caitlin Kennedy and artist Brian Kesinger ought to help tide a lot of droid fans over until Episode IX arrives in December. Oh, and BB-88 is along for the ride and it also takes place between The Last Jedi and Episode IX, so SPOILERS AHEAD….
