Star Wars: Resistance, “Synara’s Score”, Review!

Colossus Base, Yeager watches a hologram of Captain Doza speaking about a pirate attack on the base, he wants Yeager’s help to fix turbo lasers since the aces are sent on an escort mission.  Neeku, Tam, and Kaz are working on a base for a turbo laser.  Yeager gives Kaz the assignment of finding a replacement military chip.  He has Neeku stay at the hangar.  Kaz puts in the parts request with Tam to Flix and Orka who laugh off his request. They say they get parts from scavengers.  They see Synara knockout a burly alien.   Kaz flubs the part and Tam knows the part.  Synara comes back with one chip and Tam has it charged to Yeager.  BB-8 mentions that he doesn’t trust her.  Neeku is given a break while Kaz and Tam install the chip. Synara checks out the Sky Tower.  Doza wants the cannons up and running.  Synara contacts the pirate captain, Kragan Gorr, via hologram.  Neeku announces a visitor - Synara. There isn’t too much tension in this episode, pirate attacks are not too much of a threat, if it is the aces that protect the base, then shouldn't there be replacement fighters?

Synara has brought extra couplings to them and Kaz tries to send her away.  Kaz tries to join their break and Neeku covers his mouth, kinda funny.  Tam explains that she lost a race and her racer so works as a mechanic.  The Aces fly away and Kaz says that Tam has to start working.  They start working on the turbo lasers when the pirates begin strafing the base.  No alarms, the base doesn’t seem to be able to detect approaching ships.  Pirates land on the base and begin firing their blasters.  Tam fixes the turbo laser as the loading docks burn.  Tam runs off and Kaz has to make the cannons operational so he sends BB-8 with Tam.  She rams a pirate in trooper armor.  Doza calls for the cannons.  Yeager flies a cargo hovercraft to load the cannon.  Tam knocks out some pirates as Synara runs.  They go to load the targeting computer so Kragan Gorr sends his pirates to stop them.  Yeager shoots the blaster out of the captain’s hand.  No new characters, the spy angle is lost again, this seems like a filler episode.

Kaz is thrown out of the cargo hovercraft as the Kragan Gorr struggles with Yeager.  BB-8 helps trip up some pirates.  Yeager drops Kaz off to take on a Trandoshan pirate, he uses a shock ax, and needs help.  Synara knocks out a pirate and she’s stunned Tam will risk herself for a friend.  So Yeager is worried about getting the cannons ready more than taking on the pirate captain who leads the pirates?  Kragan was hanging onto his hovercraft so why not flip it to throw him in the sea?  Kaz struggles to use the shock ax to move the part and Yeager slams the hovercraft into it.  Doza activates the cannons that blast the pirate ships.  Kragan Gorr calls for his Warbirds to retreat.  Yeager tells Kaz he did a good job.  Neeku tries to explain he and Bucket hid from a pirate.  Yeager suspects a spy with the timing of the pirate attack.  Synara thanks Tam.  This is a Tam based episode and makes her slightly less annoying.  It looks like Synara might switch sides seeing loyalty with Tam , but we don’t know why she joined the pirates in the first place.  Captain Doza contacts Commander Pyre to help fight the pirate attacks.  It looks like it is the First Order’s plan to take over the station, but it is unclear what is the base's strategic value. This show is losing it's focus more and more, it should be renamed Star Wars: Pirates Attacks.
