When you’re watching a Star Wars TV show or movie, it’s easy to think what’s happening on screen is the most important thing imaginable. What could be more important than defeating the Empire, becoming a Jedi, or crushing the First Order? Maybe nothing — but what you tend to forget is, while that may be important to some, it isn’t important to all.
A huge chunk of unknown Star Wars lore is about to be explored, and executive producer Justin Ridge can't wait to be a part of it. Ridge is one of three executive producers on Star Wars Resistance and Gizmodo had a chance to speak to him about this new Star Wars animated series coming to Disney Channel and Disney XD.

So what do we actually know is on the way?
