Neither of them were thinking about themselves, though they arrived at different conclusions. Immanuel wanted to protect her, while Venisa wanted to make the galaxy a safe place for her. So Venisa left to do what she had to do, and Immanuel stayed behind – but what’s interesting is that both of them did so because they wanted a good future for Torra. Venisa wanted to join, but Immanuel didn’t want to get involved with another war. They married and had a daughter, and they lived together as a family until Leia Organa started the Resistance. She fought for the Rebellion and met Immanuel Doza, a member of the Empire, and got him to defect. I think many of us assumed that Torra’s mom died sometime prior to the events of the series, but that’s obviously not the case: she instead is just off with the Resistance! And the writers of the show managed to come up with a completely understandable backstory. When neither of those elements aren’t present, Resistance seems to struggle to find its footing, but when one of those elements are there – or both, like in this episode – the show can be something special.īut anyway, let’s talk about Venisa Doza, because she’s an awesome new character introduced. I wasn’t quite ready for it!Īnd really, I think this episode featured so much of what makes this series thrive: it tells compelling and emotional stories about characters, while raising the stakes with the First Order involvement. – all at once! Doza watching the holorecording, and then Torra coming to join him, as they longed for their family to be reunited but understood what Venisa was doing, really got me. This was a really, really good episode, and I wasn’t prepared for it to be this emotional! Resistance has managed to pull off some truly emotional episodes (“The Platform Classic” from season one was in this category too), and the way this episode ended was beautiful, touching, heartwarming, heartbreaking, etc. They miss Venisa and their family being together, but they know what she’s doing is important. The episode ends with Captain Doza in his office watching the hologram of his conversation with Venisa six years ago, and Torra walks in and watches it with him. Venisa and Torch fight their way to the hangar – including a close call escaping Rucklin – and manage to escape, but without Tam.īack on the Colossus, Kaz – having learned that it’s Torra’s birthday – and the other Aces throw Torra a surprise birthday party. She then takes Tam prisoner and leads her away, intending to bring her back to the Colossus where she belongs. Tam is clearly conflicted, and then Venisa’s droid, Torch, arrives and stuns Tam, freeing Venisa. Venisa Doza goes right to work on Tam, attempting to get her to realize that she has made a mistake and that Yeager thinks of her as a daughter. Yeager knows about Venisa, but has kept it a secret just like he did with Kaz as well. Once a year, they got to see each other on Torra’s birthday – which Kaz discovers is that day (thus the reason they were waiting for the pilot to arrive). However, six years before the events of the show, when Leia Organa formed the Resistance, Venisa joined her while Immanuel wanted no part of another war. The episode reveals that Venisa fought for the Rebellion and thus goes way back with Yeager, and she is the one who convinced Immanuel to defect from the Empire. It is revealed that the Resistance pilot is Venisa Doza, the wife of Captain Immanuel Doza and the mother of Torra Doza. Tam Ryvora thinks she looks familiar, however, and goes to talk to her in her holding cell. The droid plays dead while the pilot is taken away by Agent Tierny’s stormtroopers. The Resistance pilot and her droid put up a fight but are captured before they can jump to hyperspace. So they order the Aces back to the station and jump to hyperspace… just before an X-Wing arrives in the system. Doza, meanwhile, is waiting for someone to arrive, but Yeager convinces him they can’t wait any longer or else the station will be destroyed. Things aren’t going well for the Aces, but they’re awaiting Captain Doza’s orders before retreating. The episode begins by thrusting us right into the midst of a battle between the Aces of the Colossus and the First Order. “Rendezvous Point”, the eighth episode of the second and final season of the show, was a terrific chapter that was a significant step up from the last several weeks of what has been an overall slow start to season two. The latest episode of Star Wars Resistance was released on Sunday!
