Star Wars Resistance (Animated series)

Slydice

Hrmm.. something feels different.

Still says the creator is Dave Filoni:

Composer has changed from Kevin Kiner to Michael Tavera:

Will give it a shot anyway

CastorTroy

First 3 episodes available now. First episode is double length.

Slydice

The first kinda grew on me.

CastorTroy

Looks like it's a slow enough start setting up the characters, but I've learned from Clone Wars and Rebels to give these series time.
I did enjoy the episodes though.

Slydice

Just caught up. It's a good opening alright. Put together, they feel like a mini-tv-film

The story is decent enough. Yer man is annoying so.. plenty of room to grow I guess

The main stand out is the animation. Wow, it's like top notch Anime level stuff. It really brings the atmosphere.

Slydice

Aaaaahh, first episode where I wasn't left feeling yer man is annoying

CastorTroy

Dunno. I'm still not sold on him. He reminds me of Peter in Spider-Man Homecomig wanting Tony's approval.
If it moves away from him wanting to be a spy and just let it happen naturally, it will be better.

This week's episode

So the last surviving people from a planet no one seems to know called Tehar, which just so happens to be an anagram of Earth

skooterblue2

Seen it, all 5 episodes on Torrents and its dire poor characters, soapy animation. We need Feloni at the helm and get rid of Kathleen Kennedy

CastorTroy

But Filoni is over this, the same as Rebels. They need to do something to get it moving. The other series were set in different locations. This one restricted itself to a single place, for some reason

Galaxy Far Far Away!

Filoni isnt on the job or it was cobbled together over night (3 months). I havent seen anything this bad since the infamous Christmas special.

Slydice

Could see this weeks development a mile away!

CastorTroy

Hopefully it leads to something interesting.

wp_rathead

i quite like the animation
While Rebels was pretty "Lothal" heavy it still let us expand and explore the Galaxy..
Keeping them confined to this Fuel station seems bit of an anchor story wise
I was hooked on Rebels by episode 5 whereas I've still not completely bought into this
I'm sticking with it ofcourse but really needs to up the ante

I've just finished reading the book Phasma (not sure if this is set before or after it) but I would like to see Cardinal or Vi Moradi at some point

There it is. This place doesn't stand much of a chance of holding out for long.

CastorTroy

Is it too much to hope that everything is building to something drastic happening that either turns the platform into a rebel base or it gets destroyed?

We're a good bit in now and I still couldn't name most of the characters

Slydice

I can't see them stopping the 1st Order taking the base... BUT.. maybe that's gonna mean we'll see one hell of a Fight! X-Wings and Aces!

Oh, TM that name!

Sounds like a game!

wp_rathead

Can tell that it is slowly building to something, i really hope the pay off is worth it though
honestly, I think that Jar Jar was less annoying than Kaz

Slydice

Hrmmm.. tie-in for episode IX maybe?

Guessing the Fireball is gonna be all souped up when Kaz gets back

wp_rathead

Easily the best episode so far
Shows that Poe risking lives of his team mates isn't just a one off like in start of Last Jedi where he got most of his squadron killed

Holiday Special Shorts


6 Episodes in total, 3 aired on the 10th and the other 3 Yesterday (17th).

Looks like they are just youtube shorts.

corkie

Another 3 special shorts.

corkie

Another 3 shorts. <<< Available from 31 Dec

Sorry my series guide app, didn't pick up on these, so sorry for delayed posting.

Welcome to 2019!

CastorTroy

Ha! No need to apologise for keeping us up to date. I never even think about these until I see them posted here.

Like Star Trek, I do like these shorts to give us something during breaks. Though this is actually a lot.

Looks like it's back this weekend

Slydice

Just caught up.. I get the feeling we might get to see a BIG space battle. Unlikely season 1 though.


Agree about the Holiday Special Shorts corkie, thanks for posting them! They were hilarious!

Slydice

16: Jeez the teddy...

I guess we're just before The Force Awakens now that Poe is on his way to Jakku

Maybe the big space battle I was guessing about is actually the two from The Last Jedi

wp_rathead

The Core Problem was easily the best episode of the season for me
Really starting to gather momentum now
While I'll miss BB-8 I look forward to more CB-23

CastorTroy

Nice to see something starting to happen.

Slydice

Feels ominous. 3 episodes left this season.

CastorTroy

That was good and setting up this week's finale and it seems a new setting for next season.

Slydice

Yes. Wasn't expecting

such a big tie-in so soon

Jeez, felt a bit for Kaz

Slydice

That was good! For a second I thought the Collosus

was looking like a Star Destroyer submerged pointing down.

All the plots from the season came together

for this big payoff battle.

Now just to see

where they end up!

Wiki says the second season is due in Fall 2019.. so Autumn which will be just before Episode IX comes out. I'm leaning heavily towards the idea of seeing a tie-in

I enjoyed Rebels (moreso as it went on) and Clone Wars. Is this worth a gander then?

Slydice

I thought it was good. While Rebels felt like a slow burn, this one feels like it has a lump to get over at the start. It does though

Ya, like it takes a while to find it's rhythm but last few episodes are very good
They have season 2 set up to be very good

Slydice

A recognisable face in this one!

Slydice

Fun start back. Although,

I'm not sure we'll ever get Tam back now

Slydice

2.2: Feels like

we might get Tam back.. maybe..

Slydice

2.3: Teamwork! That was fun!

Slydice

2.4: Yes, food important. I get the feeling they are building up to having the station are a battleship of the resistence with a crew that works well with one another.

Slydice

2.5: Another fun one. Probably

not the last we'll see of Nena.

Slydice

2.6: Fuel! We could be about to move!

5 Episodes before Rise of Skywalker! Maybe we'll see The Colossus in live action!

Slydice

2.7: OH! Did you hear what she said?

People measure the Force in different ways..

No he couldn't, could he?

Maybe midichlorians is just one?

Filoni gonna make it so

midichlorians is just one of many ways of being a force user?

Slydice

2.8: That was fun. Good distraction!

Slydice

2.9: Another fun one. Maybe a filler episode.

wp_rathead

season 2 has been really disappointing so far, they made Kaz back to being way to clumsy after he had gotten better towards end of season 1 and there are just way too many filler episodes
I want to see way more of Tam, probably the only thing keeping me interested in it
Hopefully it picks up soon as the potential is there

CastorTroy

Well you got more of Tam and the only other guy who go helmetless despite being told previously they hadn't earned that right yet.

Seems this season has involved a lot of "We need this, or else..." followed by "Oh look, we're here just as the First Order get here"

The ending of last season showed promise but now it's gone back

Slydice

2.10 was fun. 2.11 was ok and could've been standout but they didn't go for it.

I'm guess that if there's gonna be a cameo in the film, it would only be to report the status of the Colossus

Slydice

2.12: By Star Wars: Resistance standards, that felt like a step up. Kinda felt like a nod to the Mandalorian style.

Cool to see Synara get some air time. Guessing we're still not at the events of Rise of Skywalker yet. I'm not sure how close we are actually.

Slydice

2.13: fun again. Feels like they are still holding onto the Kaz as a newbie feel.
