Star Wars: Resistance (Next Animated Series by Filoni)

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Yeah, I'll come for the stories. I may not like the style, the genre, but the heart and soul of any good art is story. Everything else is window dressing.

No better example than The Last Jedi: a beautiful mess.

Well said.

Especially the point about story.
A bad story well executed is still a bad story.
I don't care about the romance or action unless the story makes me care. The story is the base and if it's weak, everything else has to compensate.

That would be none other than Drew Karpshyn who is one of the finest videogame authors of all time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Karpyshyn
He wrote Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 (not the third and final installment that's narrative was nearly universally panned). He wrote the AD&D universe classics Baldur's Gate II & Neverwinter Nights, and the hidden gem on Xbox, Jade Empire. For Star Wars he wrote the Darth Bane novels, and the Old Republic novels expanding on the narrative of the KOTR game.

KOTR has a special place in my heart, and I agree I like it when the force is less mystic, and far less overwhelming in power, but Karpshyn got out there himself with the Revan series to set up The Old Republic game (putting on a mask returns all Revan's memories; the Emperor beqeaths immortality via the Force to a perceived loyalist). I'm not sure if Drew had a hand in it, but Revan ultimately dies, and it gets really, really out there after that.

That novel was succeeded, serially, by a short story by a different author called "Deceived" that is the basis for the following short film-- itself promotional material to launch the The Old Republic game by BioWare back in 2011:

The Bane trilogy is still my favourite Star Wars material! Drew did such an awesome job with that series

People are getting excited about the Clone Wars coming back, as am I, but it’s not going to be an on-going thing. They’ve said they’re doing just 12 episodes just to finish it the way they wanted to before being cancelled prematurely

Still great news, and more Ahsoka!!

 

[EvilDDS]

That's about the last half of it.

Damn, must’ve been awesome sitting in on that panel discussion

 

[ShinkanPo]

Honestly the teams who wrote the Jedi Knight games or Knights of the Old Republic blow any of this new canon out of the water. Filoni has had some good moments, but gets a little too far out there at times (time travel, Kanan’s spirit inhabiting a wolf, etc).

I enjoyed rebels to be honest but yeah I agree about Filoni's tedency to over do it. The wolf thing is not needed and the Bendu thing is just cheap and dont get me even started about the purgils space fucking whales.


But like I said still I enjoyed rebels even though I think it cheapens Luke and Kenobi's struggle and makes their exiles pointless I think.

This is great news I am binge watching CWs right now I am on season 3 now. 1st season is kinda a bore fest for me but I still watched all the episodes.


I am just fucking annoyed at the fucking droids. Thanks lucas for introducing that and sticking with that shit all the way to Ep2.

That just ruins it

I hear ya about the first season. I recently went back to rewatch, figured I would go through all the seasons again. I could barely get through the first episode. That put me off and I quit. Although I do remember enjoying the series the first time I watched it

New trailer for Star Wars Resistance. Release date October 7

[Myrddin Wild]

hopefully we get a back story on snoke now @Secret Agent

Huh? I agree. but.... how did this happen?

@EvilDDS was right... this thread is much different & more civil.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

No, it hasn't. Filoni's series have been remarkably good.

Much of the satellite lore from the Comics, Books, and Video Games is also quite good.

Exactly. People just watching the movies, are selling themselves short on the franchise as a whole.

y.... yo.... you.... guyz... don't mind talking about content that isn't in the movies?

 

[Myrddin Wild]

I can't say I'm excited about the time period.

This is a very exciting time period to me. Looking forward to lots of cool stories from what? 28 ABY - 34 ABY....

Luke's Jedi school was well under way. Ben first finds out who his grandfather really waz. Ben's manipulation by Snoke. The cold war between the First Order & the New Republic might be explained... & corruption in the senate getting payolla from the First Order. Leia's insistance that The First Order is up to no good & the republic shunning the idea is what made Leia reorganize the resistance. Their missions to infiltrate the First Order. Man there's lots of cool stuff that can happen during this time. Could even see more of Luke during his prime, before he became sad about thingz.... & perhaps his exploration to understand thingz beyond the Jedi order.

Lots of cool stuff going on during this exiting period. Rey, Finn & Poe back stories. We'll get to see more of Rose's hot sister.

Did Filoni drop out of the Resistance project to work on the new clone wars?


Resistances looks worse and worse. Just saw a new clip of it today and the new clone wars looks so fucking good

The animation looks horrible.

Not impressed with any aspect of the trailer.

And I hate the Zelda 'The Wind Waker' art style.

I'll watch the episodes that has Ashoka in them, after they air.

 

[ShinkanPo]

The art doesn't bother me, but I can't say I'm excited about the time period. However Dave Filoni is the man and I'm never going to doubt that guy. Pretty sure this is going to be an awesome show.

Yup time period is sketchy its more of the J.J Abrams era story line that for some does not make sense.

 

[ShinkanPo]

The animation looks horrible.

Yup everyone end up looking Japanese. And noe with StarWars characters such as borgullet people might think I am watching tentacle porn

 

[jefferz]

Anyone have any ideas on who this is?

After seeing the new trailer I might have to amend my previous statement about not caring about the artwork. I'll still give it a chance but it really doesn't look good on first viewing. I would have rather seen the continuation of Ezra's, Ahsoka's, Thrawn's, etc. storylines or a whole new time period than deal with the underwhelming sequels characters.

Anyone have any ideas on who this is?

Phasma before she had the credits for a platinum suit?

No, he helped come up with the concept of the show, but was never going to be running it. The stuff on XD will be geared more towards kids, but the SW stuff on the streaming site, will be more for older audiences. Disney wants as much Star Wars content as they can get, for the new Streaming service coming next year. The new season of Clone Wars was actually fully written, and story boarded before cartoon network canceled it. They actually have said they have this new season, and possibly on more all ready to produce. George Lucas was also involved in the whole process, so it will be cool, that his story will get finished. I wasn't a big fan of clone wars when it was one the air, but I binge watched it 2 years ago, and it really is a great story. Glad they are going to finish it.

I don't think Cartoon Network cancelled it. I think that was a decision that Disney made.

I also cannot wait for this new season of clone wars because the old series was one of my favorites.

And yeah resistance looks compeltely for kids, imo it doesn't look that good but I'm sure I'll watch it at some point.
