That's...wait, that has to either be a mistake, or by "Buy Season 1", they mean only the episodes currently available, so it's only the first episode still. I can't see how that would be for the full season coming. edit: One comment in that thread said, "Yea I seem to recall this same mistake with Season 1 of Rebels. They canceled then, but worth a try! Thanks!" thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Oct 8, 2018 |

The replies to that tweet indicate that it's a 50/50 shot. Some people have gotten full seasons of other shows at a similar discount. Someone else pointed out that the opening two parter may be its own "season" internally

First episode was alright. It looks really good in motion, and the ship designs are spectacular, even if the red TIE is a tad tacky

Wheat Loaf posted:I am quite enjoying reviews like "This children's series is for CHILDREN! Which is even more funny when you consider there has never been a Star Wars cartoon in the history of Star Wars cartoons that has ever been marketed as anything other than a show for youth audiences. It just so happens that a majority of Star Wars fans are technically man children so obviously they're going to watch it and be angry they're not being appealed to. I wonder if any of them get upset over the Lego shows and poo poo, like The Freemaker Adventures being too goofy.

Like I said before, I imagine most people will wise up about it. I remember when the first Clone Wars trailer showed up (i.e. for the movie) people got very stroppy about how LUCAS  had DISNEYFIED Star Wars (funny in retrospect) then I remember when the first Rebels information dropped people said it looked "too kiddy" compared to Clone Wars. But at the same time, I feel like something's changed; I think more people will hold their grudge than they did with the last two, for one reason or another. That's just 2018 for you, I guess.

I read that this will take place during the period of The Force Awakens so anyone who's seen the show will know what that means. spoiled Kaz is from Hosian Prime so its very likely his family will be completely wiped out when Starkiller base destroys it

Yeah, "poor" might have been a bit much. Gwendolyn Christie was good though! E: Probably for the same reasonas Anthony Daniels, actually, since they both would've done a whole lot of ADR.

Not really feeling Resistance. The animation/art style is great, but the characters and VA were really bad imo. Rebels and Clone Wars left a really solid first impression when I watched their pilot episodes. This one just fell flat for me for some reason

Moving from the trad 3D animation of Clone Wars & the more stylistic but still 3d Rebels to the 2d cel shading is jarring for some ppl. No need to yell, but I think its awesome personally. Most kids shows nowadays have that 3d look, I like them going in another direction. The only thing better would be somehow a traditional 2d style.

I liked it. It's nice having a show where there's zero focus on Jedi, though the reliance on movie characters like BB-8 and Phasma was pretty jarring (at least Poe Dameron went away). I didn't think the show did a great job of establishing the station, it just seems incredibly tiny and limited. Hakkesshu fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Oct 9, 2018 |

This one just fell flat for me for some reason Both Rebels and Clone Wars started really badly ("Snips/Skyguy", the downgrade in tone, visuals and "target age" with Rebels). If only counting the early episodes this starts off several levels above either.

The 3rd (or 4th I guess?) episode started getting me to warm up to the show. It wasn't a great start, I'd agree. My 6 year old loves it, my 9 year old is similarly on the fence. But it's Star Wars.

Still on episode one, but I really liked the over the shoulder shot on Faizon's ship in the first race, it's a real Ace Combat sort of camera angle. Also, a few seconds in and we get two brand new ships in the T-85 X-Wing and the red TIE Interceptor, space fighter show pumpin out rad new designs that can go in X-wang and vidya games

Anyway, enjoyed the hell out of the first episode. A lot of fun, great ship designs, and I loved the hodgepodge of stuff from all 3 trilogy eras. My 2 year old daughter was hooked by the colorful visuals, so that’s a win as well. (She calls all Star Wars things she sees “pew pew”, and breathes deeply whenever she sees Darth Vader.) Can’t wait for some characters and ships to show up in Galaxy of Heroes and somehow break the meta. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 12:39 on Oct 9, 2018 |

I know it’s just starting, but I feel like Rebels had way more, well rebel stuff in it early compared to this being really light on the whole resistance aspect. I’m sure it will shift away from racing and more towards actual resistance stuff as the show goes on but seems like a pretty slow start 4 episodes in already. Show is fine though for the most part.

Made it hard to watch, and that's amplified by the characters being dull af imo. The narrative arc in the first 4 episodes has been pretty uninteresting too. I'll just wait for Clone Wars to start up again.

If anyone was expecting the First Order to be more of a menace right out the gate, you haven't been paying attention to the state of the galaxy far far away at the point prior to TFA. Very few consider the FO to be a credible threat. The show did go out of its way to show the audience they're very much a looming danger in the first seconds of the show with Major Vonreg attacking the New Republic X-Wings, but three episodes in and they still haven't formally introduced all the ace racers yet. So I wouldn't expect the full on resistance to take place until after the frequency of the pirate storyline picks up and gets resolved. That'll likely result in Phasma and Vonreg and the First Order becoming direct antagonists.

The episode summary for 5 says that the First Order is coming to the refueling station, so even if a big Resistance vs First Order plot is a long time coming, they seem to be planning on keeping the First Order physically present at least

Yea, from the Star Wars Explained videos about the pre TFA novels and such its pretty much like this FO is out there, but no one really thinks they're a threat. Just a bunch of ex imperials out on the Rim and they won't trouble anyone unless something bugs them. That's why people think the Resistance are extremists. Its like people who think Antifa are extremists because they want to punch Nazis. But at the same time, there are people like Leia and others who actually do see the FO as a threat, and their intelligence says that yes, they have a force that is at least equal to the New Republics bare bones fleet. As the NR was trying to distance itself from the militarism of the Empire and before that the Clone Wars era Republic, they had made a conscious choice to limit their military forces. Though there are those in the Senate who are totally "you know, everything was pretty great during the Empire, except for that whole blowing up planets thing, but then didn't they deserve it?" both naively and because they were agents of the First Order. Leia was exposed as Vaders daughter by these guys and they used that to destroy her reputation in the galaxy. I really like looking at the ships and seeing what they were cobbled together from, also the old empire gear being repurposed by the pirates was a neat touch.

It's me: I'm the one who wants more politics in my Star Wars. Hopefully Resistance will give me that fix. First 3 episodes were really enjoyable, although the writers clearly haven't fully locked down the character's personalities and motivations.
