Memphis Bell, Tuskegee Airmen, the catch 22 amazon series I dunno, fighters getting shot and their gas tanks getting emptied / bombers making long range missions etc is a pretty common thing??

Yeah, it’s usually at least a minor plot beat for almost every fighter/bomber centric movie.

In addition to what's been mentioned, the Rebels crew definitely have a few fuel run episodes, including the one where they meet Mon Mothma

Unless you think the planes on the side are also going to factor in. The fact is, we have no idea until we get more information.

I feel like if this was going to be set in the sequel era, it wouldn't be hard for Lucasfilm and Disney to pull the T-70 model from their assets to use for the teaser.

I've been watching Rebels for the first time just to get the back story that'll show up in Ahsoka and whatever else. Is the Resistance series good backstory for anything coming up, considering that it's in a different time period than most of the stuff that's on now? People have mentioned that it's not as good as the other animated shows, but I will probably end up watching it since I've burned through The Clone Wars and Rebels. Just curious if it can wait or if it would be helpful for any of the upcoming series.

Resistance is a very take it or leave it show that doesn't really do anything besides expand the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance a little bit. Rebels is smaller scale than Clone Wars and Resistance is downright miniscule in how much impact it has on anything outside of its own story.

pik_d posted:Was it going somewhere and just got cancelled? Or was it just low effort work to keep the wheels turning? It only got 2 seasons and had a very long production process. The second season basically ran right into TLJ storywise. If it was insanely popular I'm sure it would have gotten more seasons but given the preproduction process on the third film was really hosed up its just as likely that they didnt want to lock themselves into a year+ production with so much stuff still up in the air. I'd recommend watching it if only for the novelty of the gorgeous (imo) art style. I love the look of all the aliens and characters and how it is better able to convey speed compared to the rebels/clone wars look.

Resistance is the one where, like all the other star wars cartoons, they started by aiming for the 7-12 crowd, got feedback that nope, its a bunch of 18-40 year olds watching; but this time they didn't adjust.

I doubt that there's much that will reference Resistance any time soon since there's not anything big coming out during the sequel era, and even Disney's EU seems pretty hazy on whether they're going to do much with that. I've heard that it's not great, never seen it, but here's a list of things that keep tempting me.

Rise of the Resistance was very cool. Probably not a good choice for my three year old daughter though. She's 103cm so she rode all the rides you can if you are over 102cm. Matterhorn, Cars, etc. She likes roller coasters but the hyperreality was too much. During the ride, I was able to affirm it was just pretend and she was safe. She is still convinced we went to space. She just knows that she was never in any real danger. Great ride but lol at Disney keeping it under wraps. We had no idea it was that intense.

No. It's entirely possible it will be referenced by something in the future, or become important, but as far as we know now, both in regards to shows that exist already and shows we know are coming, Resistance isn't backstory for anything. Watch it if you want, but you don't need to watch it for anything else, so you're good waiting a bit if there's something else you want to watch first.

Resistance might be the hardest I've ever bounced off of any Star Wars related property with maybe the exception of those Ewok Movies. It's just really really rough in parts. I know folks say it vaguely gets it together towards the end but it feels like such a dead end in so many ways.

The United States posted:They spend over $8 million an episode on Star Trek Discovery Discovery is a "real" live action Star Trek show and the show that site is talking about, Prodigy, is an animated show aimed at kids. This is like comparing the budget of an episode of Clone Wars/Rebels/Resistance to an episode of The Mandalorian. Anyway, since it's been brought up, is Prodigy any good? We've gotten screwed over in the UK again and I don't think it's on any services here, so I would have to put actual effort into pirating it if I wanted to watch it.

Definitely promising, but it has this weird thing going where the lighting and environments look excellent but the animations have that TCW-S1 frame-y-ness/stiffness. A bit off-putting imo

Prodigy is good, I like that for a show aimed at kids they set up a lot of mystery without hitting you over the head with "we have got to solve this mystery?!?!" Minor spoilers: what part of the galaxy are they in, we see Kazon and we hear him say he brings criminals from the Delta quandrant. How did the ship get there, who and what else are trying to get it, where did the protagonist come from, was he born on the prison world since no one recognizes his species, etc.

Answer: The Window of Dreams that Dal keeps talking about was mentioned in season 7 of Voyager, so it's close to the Delta/Alpha quadrant border, nowhere near where Voyager started their journey. I'm not sure why there's all these species in this region of space, but the USS Protostar has trans warp capabilities as seen on one of the LCARS displays, so that explains some of it.

I checked out the trailer for Prodigy and it certainly looks good, but I wouldn't say its leaps and bounds better than late season clone wars/bad batch. Clone Wars has a very established aesthetic art style so they work within that style to make the show as beautiful as they can.

watching something like prodigy really accentuates how clone wars/rebels aesthetic is flat, low detail textures and minimal light source usage of course, it would seem like sw is kinda dead animation wise for now so who knows what it might look like in the future, if they ever make a new show
