## Seasons

 Poe and BB-8 assign Kaz to the *Colossus*, where he meets a cast of colorful new aliens, droids and creatures. While undercover to spy on the growing threat of the First Order, Kaz works as a mechanic and lives with Poe’s old friend Yeager -- a veteran pilot who operates a starship repair shop run by his crew: Tam, Neeku and a battered old astromech called Bucket.

 The concluding season takes place during the events of *The Last Jedi* leading up to *The Rise of Skywalker*, as Kaz and the team continue to fight against the threat of the First Order, culminating in an epic series finale.
