As a general in the Resistance, Leia has had bigger concerns than Kaz’s mission so far.
Star Wars fans everywhere know that dark days are coming thanks to Starkiller Base, and Resistance showrunner Justin Ridge explained why the show is set so close to The Force Awakens.
Given that Resistance’s first season takes place only months ahead of the sequel trilogy (as opposed to Rebels, which began years before the original trilogy timeline), we may want to expect Leia to turn up more often, especially if Kaz takes a larger role in the Resistance when they need all hands on deck.
