Star Wars Resistance took a midseason break back in December, but Lucasfilm is keeping the spark of rebellion lit with a series of 12 shorts.

Three bite-sized chunks of the CGI animated series debuted Dec. 11 on the Disney Channel's YouTube channel.

The Search for Kaz focuses on BB-8 trying to find Kazuda Xiono (aka Kaz, played by Christopher Sean) on the Colossus refueling platform. Since Kaz is working on a targeting computer, it's likely this is set just before Synara's Score.

The second one, Dart and Cover, sees Kaz displaying his dart-throwing skills to Torra Doza (Myrna Velasco), until eccentric astromech droid Bucket shows him how it's done.

Neeku's Reward shows head mechanic Jarek Yeager (Scott Lawrence) buying Neeku Vozo (Josh Brener) lunch to show his appreciation for his Nikto employee's hard work -- leading to a surprising level of chaos in the Colossus' marketplace.

On Dec. 17, we got a second trio of shorts focused on parts sellers Flix (Jim Rash) and Orka (Bobby Moynihan). The first, When Thieves Drop By, reveals how they deal with a pair of naive robbers.

Treasure Chest, the second of these, sees them getting into a dangerous situation when they open a mysterious box given to them by pirate sleeper agent Synara San (Nazneen Contractor). However, one can't help but wonder why they didn't use the trapdoor seen in the previous short to get rid of the detonators.

The third one, G-LN, reveals why cantinas won't serve droids as Flix and Orka's pit droid gets a little rowdy.

Dec. 23 kicked off another run of three shorts. Bucket's Quest was another droid-focused offering, with Team Fireball's quirky astromech losing his helmet and getting a ridiculous temporary replacement.

Unmotivated shows Flix and Orka dealing with another crazed droid -- this time belonging to superstar racer Hype Fazon (Donald Faison).

The last one, The Need For Speed, sees Hype racing against teen rival Torra Doza (Myrna Velasco). It isn't a particularly exciting race, but it's cool to get more of the Aces.

It's all pretty throwaway stuff, but looks as gorgeous as the show always does. We'll continue our full episode recaps when the show returns on Sunday, Jan. 13 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Disney Channel, DisneyNOW and Disney Channel VOD.
