It was a rocky begin for the bubbly Nikto mechanic Neeku (Josh Brener) and the clumsy human Kazuda (Christopher Sean), the celebrities of “Star Wars Resistance.” Nevertheless, the 2 turn into inseparable because the First Order descends on their group and swallows up their normalcy. The 2 mechanics have their very own love pursuits on the collection, after all: Kaz crushes on Synara, and Neeku harbors emotions for fellow Nikto Nena (voiced by Brener’s real-life spouse, Meghan Falcone). Nevertheless, out of all the relationships on the cartoon, Kaz’s dynamic with Neeku blossoms essentially the most. A part of Kaz’s progress entails embracing the paragon of kindness that’s Neeku, the poor mechanic who builds a sky projection for his refugee group. For Kaz, Neeku is a beacon of compassion to observe.

There is a key second in season 1 of “Star Wars Resistance” when Kaz screams at his Nikto pal, “I might kiss you!” Misreading the hyperbolic expression as a literal one, Neeku responds, “Hmmm. Sorry Kaz, however I don’t really feel the identical approach about you.” He is not repulsed; he is simply attempting to let his pal down straightforward. It is a temporary gag, nevertheless it’s the closest the present will get to canonically entertaining any romantic affection between the 2. 

Evidently, “Neekaz” is an actual ship identify. “Star Wars Resistance” ends with Kaz, Neeku, and associates getting a closing drink collectively, regardless of the First Order nonetheless being an actual menace. It is sufficient to make you hope that Kaz and Neeku survive the upcoming warfare and dwell to share a beverage as soon as once more — maybe as greater than buddies.
