Untitled Star Wars Resistance episode (Ax Tagrin)

An episode for the second season of the animated television series Star Wars Resistance was scripted but ultimately cut. The episode would have featured the bounty hunter Ax Tagrin taking over the Colossus space station in order to deliver it to the First Order. Head writer and executive producer for the series Brandon Auman later shared details about the episode's plot and cancellation.
==Plot summary==
The episode would have occurred in 34 ABY during the First Order-Resistance War and involved the IktotchiStar Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy bounty hunter Ax Tagrin infiltrating the Colossus refueling station to commandeer it. He would have nearly succeeded in handing the space station to the First Order. The human Imanuel Doza, the Colossus captain, would have also been involved in the episode's story.
==Development==
Though the episode was fully scripted, sometime between September 2017 and the summer of 2018, budgetary reasons from the Walt Disney Company caused both it and at least one other episode to be cut from the animated television series Star Wars Resistance second season, which aired from October 6, 2019 to January 26, 2020. The episode was chosen due to it occurring toward the end of the season, where it was deemed important to instead focus on the character Tamara Ryvora's arc with the First Order, and was a standalone story. Head writer and executive producer of the series Brandon Auman first mentioned the episode in an interview with the podcast Friends of the Force, which was published in 2019.
Auman felt that Doza would have "shined" in the episode and that Tagrin would have been more threatening than in his previous appearances. He described the episode as exciting, action-packed, and one of his favorite scripts. Auman further commented that members of the Xiono family might have been involved in the episode.
