Vinylshadow posted:Would've been so much better had they used Kalani and had a nice big Clone Wars-style space battle between TIE Fighters and Droid Starfighters to close out the series I would have gotten a kick out of that because on the Legends book Outbound Flight Thrawn uses droid fighters in typical fashion to do some crazy battle move and beat what is basically four or five star destroyers tied together with their own droid fighters. Space Whales was the better choice by Ezra since Thrawn's got a deep history in both current canon and Legends of using droids and tech to his advantage, though if you go back to his debut he was using biohacks to beat force users so there is that.

Yeah nobody really needs 50 minutes of some tedious nerdlinger droning on to figure out what's wrong with Rebels. The characters are boring, the things they do are boring, the models are ugly, and the settings are drab and empty. It's all pretty straightforward.

Just recently finished Rebels. I was kinda nervous when they introduced Thrawn just because I felt like he is kind of a Vader sort of presence. Either he is written as overpowered as the character demands or he makes bad decisions to let them escape which would be somewhat uncharacteristic. Most of the major blows the Rebels scored were more because he was off taking care of something important and Pryce / some lieutenant hosed it up or he encountered something as strong as Bendu, which is hard to account for. Anyway, amazing show and I'm sad its over. Also, that fight with Vader and Ahsoka, and Vader is just flying in on top of his tie. I love how arrogant it is and how perfect for Vader it is.

Filoni: "Can I do a Wraith Squadron series?" Kennedy: "No." Filoni: "Rogue Squadron?" Kennedy: "No." Filoni: "Luke Skywalker and The Blue Squadron?" Kennedy: "No." Filoni: "Something like Rebels, but with lots of fighters that you can sell as toys?" Kennedy:"Ugh, fine."

To me this sounds like Filoni finally taking the opportunity to mash up Star Wars with his Robotech influences. I’m in! Think this will be classic 2D animation, or cel-shaded 3D? I’d put money on the latter. Funny thing about Donald Faison: he was at the Rebels finale screening as a fan and bugged Filoni at the Q&A about what the next series would be. We should’ve guessed he was already onboard.

I just hope they actually put some money into it so it doesn’t end up looking like some z-tier funimation show. Give me those clean Ghibli lines and colors.

My problem is not whether anime is good or bad. My problem is when it looks extremely cheap and ugly, like a Jim Lee sketch. Put some money into it.

I’m sure the budget will be exactly in line with the budget of Rebels. The first season will feel sparse but as time goes along they’ll build up their library of assets. This is exactly how every animated series bankrolled by a corporation (instead of an eccentric billionaire) will look from here on out, and there’s zero reason to expect otherwise. I’m also betting one of the cast members is going to be Jacen Syndulla. Fits with the Robotech vibe.

Since Filoni is only listed as an EP, I imagine this isn’t his Rebels follow-up. Wouldn’t be surprised to see that announced either after this premieres or at Celebration 2019.

I think this is just his role now. He was the person quoted in the press release. Everything still started and ended with him even after he moved up from being supervising director on Rebels.

Mild disdain I have for the sequel trilogy aside, I'm tentatively excited. Filoni's pulled off two good Star Wars shows so he's earned enough goodwill for what seems like an obvious passion project.

(I don't read the Star Wars comics, but I'm still not over the Dr. Aphra/Hera stuff posted in here a while back either.) Finally, holy poo poo Jim Rash! Donald Faison bringing his enthusiasm is delightful too.  I'm so ready for cool space dogfights and emotions!

As a big fan of both anime and all the rogue squadron books, and how starfighters were typically portrayed in the movies and other books as well, I'm very much on board for this. I might actually catch every episode of this one instead of tuning in and out for random episodes, which was how I approached Rebels.

If Resistance captures the spirit of the Rogue Squadron books, I suspect that'll calm a few Legends fans Wedge briefly showed up in the Aftermath books, so I wonder if he'll reappear here as well...
