Star Wars: Resistance, “Descent”, Review!

Stormtroopers led by Commander Pyre has Kaz under arrest, he says that they are all under arrest, the sympathizer tries to understand.  Bucket waves to Yeager.  He sprays the hangar with smoke and Yeager knocks over stormtrooper.  Yeager tells Neeku and the sympathizer to enter his office.  CB-23 plows into stormtroopers with a hauler, but Commander Pyre blasts Bucket who falls into the sea!  Yeager calls out for his droid.  The sympathizer is captured.  Tam is taken away as stormtroopers try to cut into Yeager’s office.  They slip into hidden doors.  Kaz admits to Neeku that he is a Resistance spy.  Sunset, in Captain Doza’s office, he explains to his daughter that he wants to contact the New Republic. Torra asks if it is Kaz.  Commander Prye says that he is bringing in Security Bureau Agent Tierny to question the sympathizer.  Yeager needs to send a signal to the Resistance.  Stormtroopers overhear Neeku talking beneath a grill and fire on the friends.  A First Order shuttle lands, Agent Tierny (Sumalee Montano) exits, greeted by Commander Pyre.  Yeager and the others run with stormtroopers firing stun blasts, but they reach a dead end!  Action filled episode with little goofiness.

The stormtroopers close on them, but a hatch drops them down into the arms of the Chelidae. The Children of Tehar are there and they have overheard Kaz’s spy revelation.  Kaz still wants to rescue the sympathizer.  Agent Tierny questions Tam and asks her about Poe Dameron.  Captain Doza interrupts the questioning and Agent Tierny takes away Tam.  Bucket is repaired by the Chelidae after finding him in a fishing net.  Neeku doesn’t want to take part of a Resistance fighter, it is his right, they really should get him off world to safety like Aunt Z.  Agent Tierny takes Tam to the empty pilot’s bar in the tower.  Tam is served by the bartender droid.  She thinks Kaz is a poor kid from Coruscant.  Agent Tierny shows her his record.  Kaz is trying to work out a plan.  He has the wild idea of dropping the station into the water.  Neeku brings up if the security doors are open, then the station will flood.  Kaz sends CB-23 to tell Captain Doza to close the doors.  The droid brings a try of food, Torra recognizes Kaz's new droid, and CB-23 tells Kaz's plan.  Captain Doza the plan is crazy, Torra loves it!, I think Captain Doza is interesting here, he knows the First Order occupation is wrong even though he was working with them.  CB-23 has a hologram of Captain Doza who authorizes the sinking and Torra is excited.

Neeku is excited.  They are on the engineering deck with the Chelidae so Yeager and Kaz shut down the base’s turbines.  It looks like fans across the base come to a stop.  A four eyed bird flies off, alarms sound, as the station sinks!  Agent Tierny runs off.   Captain Doza tells her that it is a reactor malfunction.  Commander Pyre tells him to seal their ships.  Captain Doza orders an evacuation, it reminds me of Lando Calrissian and Cloud City, and Torra has to protect her pet voorpak from the crowds.  The station sinks, the Tower looks like a battleship with a triangular perimeter.  Neck opens the hatch for Kaz, Yeager, and CB-23 to swim to the tower.  They have breath masks and use CB-23 to carry them up.  Captain Doza is happy that the station is intact.  Agent Tierny is suspicious.  Yeager leads the way. I like him in an action role.  Kaz and Yeager work on the panel of the communications antenna, it goes dark, and Captain Doza explains it must have shorted out with the flooding.  Agent Tierny and Commander Pyre go to check on the communications array. CB-23 sends the message from Kaz to send help.  Yeager says he will fight with him.  Commander Pyre arrives with stormtroopers and they cut off the door, but it opens.  The message is recieved and Yeager throws Kaz into the water.  He is taken away by stormtroopers!  The pirates recieve Kaz’s message.  CB-23 appears out of the hatch with Kaz.  The droid projects a message from General Leia that they can’t send forces and gives him coordinates to their base.  Kaz vows to take back the Colossus Base!   This leaves Kaz mostly on his own, but I don’t get why Yeager doesn’t jump with him.  This leads to the two part finale!   

Four Lightsabers out of Five!
