Star Wars Resistance will mark the second time that Leia has appeared in TV animation, with the first being a one-off episode of Star Wars Rebels Season 2 when she was voiced by Julie Dolan.
The Clone Wars may have followed huge movie characters around, but Rebels told the stories of an original group of characters.
That said, Leia didn’t appear in the trailer, and there was always the chance that Leia was busy elsewhere than the thick of the growing Resistance.
Resistance could have done more or less the same thing.
