I noticed this a while ago. It seems like there's a lot of "Why does this children's cartoon look like it's for children?! :qq:" going on from what I can see. Honestly, I remember 10 years ago (almost exactly 10 years ago; it was a few weeks ago in 2008) when the Clone Wars movie came out and people were whinging about how "LUCAS HAS KIDDY-FIED STAR WARS :qq:" and how Ahsoka was the worst character ever.

But that turned out fine in the end, of course. I reckon the people who hated Clone Wars on principle in 2008 when they were teenagers are probably the same ones who hate Resistance on principle now.

I said the other day, if I went back in time five years and told myself in 2013 that in 2018, Star Wars fans would be worse than bronies and Donald Trump would be president, 2013 me would find the latter far, far easier to believe.

That looks like cool poo poo and I for one am glad that this swell of hate from fans will result in them leaving the franchise behind and them becoming, I dunno, bronies or games workshop table top wargamers instead.

As a Brony, I can safely tell you we're ten times worse than Star Wars fans when it comes to bitching about a kids show written for kids half or a third the average age of the most vocal demographic that watches it

Fandoms are always the worst part of any series

Same. I loved Donald Faison in Scrubs, and he seems to be bringing a lot of the same energy that made him so enjoyable there to this role so I can't wait to see him. I hope he's got a decent role and isn't just a tertiary character only appearing for a few minutes in a handful of episodes. I do wonder if he had any hand in creating his character though. I know Filoni said he created the character based on Faison, but I wonder if Faison had any hand in refining it through feedback. The decision to make his character an alien seems like something he'd make. I don't even know why I think that; maybe that it allows him to be outlandish and over the top a bit more than a human character would?

UltimoDragonQuest posted:

I'm still hoping for an outsized alien pilot at some point too, mostly because I love the idea of a Gamorrean pilot like "Piggy" Sabinring from the Wraith Squadron books. Someone who barely fits in the cockpit and really has no business being there intellectually and/or socially. The Rogue Squad books had an alien called Hohass "Runt" Ekwaash who was bigger than most humans and had to squeeze in to a cockpit, which he could only manage because he was diminutive by his species standards. I just like that kind of stuff. An extra-small pilot like an Ewok using prosthetics to reach the controls would be cool too. Something else the X-Wing books made fun of and which your comment might be a reference to. In which case, "Yub, Yub".

Runt was actually also in Wraith Squadron. And yeah, him and Piggy are some of the best characters

This looks like Wacky Racers meets Starwars which is fine I guess. I just have no clue what this show is supposed to be about. They sit around and race on a station and just wait for Tie fighters to show up?

its a fuel depot/refueling platform. Assuming its location makes it strategically important. The aces hang around to protect the station and race to kill time. The FO will probably cause trouble, or pirates. Given the dad of the young ace girl looks to be a Republic officer, its probably aligned with the Republic which gives it more than enough juice for FO conflict to occur.

They've mentioned espionage being a focus of the series a few times, so it could be a neutral station that's used by both factions, and they're trying to supply information about the FO to the Republic without being found out.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a subplot about a double agent on the team, who everyone suspects is the TIE pilot but turns out to be the guy who only cares about money.

You can see Kylo Ren's shuttle in a shot, so even if he's not there, someone important from the FO will show up. Wait, isn't Phasma in it?

Yes, Gwendoline Christie was listed as part of the voice cast in that first press release.

Shuttle in the trailer is probably carrying this dude, though.

Yea, that's what I figured. I wonder if that's Cardinal?

I’d guess it’s Phasma in the shuttle, although I don’t think it’d be crazy for Kylo Ren to appear at some point. The most recent video revealed that the red-armored trooper isn’t Cardinal, so I doubt he’ll be showing up.

I'm not going to completely rule it out, Rebels got pretty deep in extended canon, and i'm not going to think that eventually Resistance won't go deep too. Seriously, anyone watching Rebels at first thought we'd get Thrawn in the show?

I seem to recall something about the pilot being ex-Imperial and his ship being a heavily-modified TIE. (e:fb)

Speaking of, let's talk about that red maybe-TIE/v1 and the fact that it had guns firing from the wing roots.
