On episode 74.1, Resistance takes a major step towards The Force Awakens with an investigation in “The Core Problem.”
Poe Dameron returns to Resistance! The leader of Black Squadron needs BB-8 for a mission given to him by none other than General Organa. However, before Poe and BB-8 leave, Kaz presents the First Order intelligence he found in the prior episode. Now Kaz and Poe set off in their starships to find out what the First Order is up to in “The Core Problem.”
Welcome to episode 74.1 of Starships, Sabers, and Scoundrels: The Core Problem. On this episode, the Scoundrels are discussing the latest episode of Resistance as Poe Dameron and Kaz investigate some mysterious activities from The First Order. After identifying an area of space in the Unknown Regions that has an unusual amount of First Order activity, Poe and Kaz arrive and find things are not right at all. In addition, the First Order isn’t anywhere to be found either. What is going on and what does it mean for the Resistance and the galaxy?

On this episode, Dennis, Jay, and Taxus discuss the following:
- Poe’s return to Colossus Station and meeting with Kaz,
- Avoiding First Order detection while leaving Colossus,

- A new First Order probe droid, and
- How “The Core Problem” grounds Resistance in the Star Wars timeline.
