Star Wars Resistance

All right, guys, listen up.

The Platform Classic is tomorrow.

And if Yeager's gonna let us watch it,

we need to finish these repairs as quickly as we...

What are you smiling about, Kaz?

Me? Oh, um, nothing. No reason.

All right, spit it out already.

Let's just say I heard a rumor,

and if it's true, it's gonna make the Platform Classic

the biggest race in the galaxy.

Trust me, Yeager is gonna be so happy.

Yeager happy?

As in happy?

That seems very unlike... Oh, I get it.

You are proposing another joke.

Am I correct, Kaz?

Okay, gang, keep working on those repairs.

Captain Doza wants to see me about something important.

Can we go too, Yeager? Please? Please?

Why do you wanna go so badly?

And what are you smiling about?

- That's what I wanna know. - Nothing.

Nothing at all.

We should go see what Doza wants.

Yeager. Thank you for coming so quickly.

What do you need his time, Doza?

More last minute repairs?

Well, I know I've been calling on you quite often

of late, old friend, but these are desperate times.

What is it? Pirates? Saboteurs?

The Platform Classic.

Uh, what about it?

The Classic is a chance to bring much-needed money

to our economy. The prize is 100,000 credits.

The Aces will be in it, of course,

but... this time, I wanted to make it bigger than ever.

So I'm calling on you, Yeager. The best of the best.

Sorry, my racing days are long over.

I knew you'd say that.

But I also know you could never resist competing with a legend.

It's been a long time.

I'm sure I don't have to introduce

famous sky-racer Marcus Speedstar.

Three-time winner of the Five Sabers.

Whoa, Marcus Speedstar.

I can't believe it.

Hard to believe it's been almost ten years, Jarek.

Wait, you know Marcus Speedstar?

Of course I know him.

He's my brother.

*STAR WARS Resistance* Season 01 Episode 08

Episode Title: "The Platform Classic"

This will be the greatest Platform Classic

the galaxy has ever seen.

Jarek Yeager versus Marcus Speedstar.

Brother versus brother.

The answer's still no.

My racing days, like my days of dealing with him,

- are over. - Now, hold on a minute, Jarek.

- We need to talk. - Surprised

you'd even agree to this, "Speedstar."

See you again in another decade.

So great to meet you, Marcus. Big fan.

I'm Kaz, by the way. Hey!

Mm, Yeager, sir,

why does your brother have a different last name?

You thought "Speedstar" was real?

You knew all about this, Kaz?

I heard rumors that Marcus Speedstar was gonna be here.

But I didn't know he was your brother.

And the more handsome one at that.

Been too long since I've seen my big brother.

He's the one who taught me to fly when we were kids.

Wow, Yeager used to be a kid?

Look, I'm busy.

And you got a race to prepare for.

Look, I didn't come all the way out here

to race you, Jarek. I came out to see you.

Well, then you wasted your trip.

- Oh, hey, ooh. - Wha?

He likes us.

That's a traditional Cracek greeting of friendship.

My name is Neeku. This is Kaz and Tam.

Huh. Everyone, meet Oplock

and the astromech R4-D12.

I'm surprised to see you here.

I thought we agreed we'd never race again.

I know that, but Doza doesn't.

Besides, I didn't come here to race.

I came here to talk.

You already know I don't wanna talk to you.

That hasn't changed.

Well, you know what else hasn't changed?

You're still the only family I have left.

I don't want us not speaking to one another.

I see Oplock is still with you,

even after what happened. I don't know why.

It's because Oplock forgave me.

He judges me on the person I am.

Unlike you, Oplock decided to help me through things.

Well, it looks like you have him and you have your fame.

Because let's be honest, that's what you really wanted

all along, the fame.

And you did whatever you had to do to get it.

It was easy to win after you dropped out.

And I guess that's what I'm gonna do tomorrow, win.

See you around, brother.

You know you could never beat me.

Yeah, but you and I are the only ones that know that.

Come on, Oplock, D12. We're gone.

You go behind my back like that again, you're out of here.

Understand me? Yes, sir.

I... I didn't realize you were so afraid to race again.

Yes, especially against your own brother.

Afraid? I taught Marcus everything he knows.

He couldn't touch me.

It just so happens we have an agreement

not to race one another.

Probably because he's considered

one of the greatest racers in the galaxy.

One of the greatest? Hah!

You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Well, I mean, if you're not gonna race...

We would have to assume Marcus is the better pilot.

Oh, I see, you think I'm making all this up.

Well, just watch.

I'll go challenge him and he'll back down.

That's how this always works.

Ha-ha! Thank you, but seriously,

I can pay for my own drinks. Nonsense, Marcus Speedstar.

It's an honor to have you here.

It's not often we get celebrity racers out here

as big as you.

Oh, great. Guavian Death Gang.

Looks like our little maneuver back on Rishi

didn't work like I'd hoped.

Speaking foreign language...

Wha? Oh, hey, Guavians.

Small galaxy. How is everyone?

Looking nice and... red. Really red.

Speaking foreign language...

That was your ship back on Rishi?

I never realized.

I would've stuck around if I knew it was you fellas.

Speaking foreign language...

Which is exactly why I'm here.

As soon as I win this race,

those 20,000 credits will be all yours.

Speaking foreign language...

Wha... wha... what?

You're taking Oplock until I pay?

Come on, boys, let's be reasonable.

It's okay, Oplock, just go with the nice Death Gang

for the next few hours. There's nothing to worry about.

There isn't a pilot here who stands a chance against me.

Marcus.

Jarek?

I've changed my mind.

I'm racing you in the Platform Classic.

Hope you don't mind the competition.

You don't wanna do that.

See? He's quitting, like he always does.

See you tomorrow at the big race, brother.

Wait, what are you doing?

I came here hoping things had changed.

But if you're not willing to forgive me, what's the point?

I need that money.

All right, bets are now open for the Platform Classic.

Don't be shy, Ladies and Genarians.

Put your credits down right here.

- Whoo-whoo-hoo! - Fifty on Yeager.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Everybody calm down.

I'm not gonna race.

You know, once you agree to race, you can't back out of it.

So, uh, weren't you trying to prove Marcus wouldn't race you?

Jarek. You gotta let me explain.

I sort of temporarily lost my mechanic.

The Guavian Death Gang has him and...

Stop right there. I don't wanna know.

It's just more of the same from you.

You need a mechanic? Here's one.

Kaz, why don't you help him out?

Huh? Oh, well, I, uh...
