Star Wars fans have always been a little out there. It’s just instead of being confined to theforce.net then can blast people on Twitter which gets amplified by people out to stir poo poo up. This then turns into media reports of “Star Wars fans rage and hurl hate” when like 95% of people who like Star Wars are pretty chill. Look at the Star Wars threads here in TVIV, they’re pretty chill and friendly.

When it comes to Resistance the animation style isn’t quite my thing, although I felt the same way about Rebels at the start. I slowly got into it, they fixed up some things and by Season 4 I was in love with the show. Hell even Clone Wars had that awful first season and I’m now the guy who has to defend loving the Yoda stuff from The Lost Missions.

Suck it up. Enjoy it for what it is.

This feels needlessly aggressive. Especially considering that a fair few of us will admit that Rebels had a pilot that left us cold for a show we later warmed up to. I’m watching tomorrow so fingers crossed I don’t have the wrong opinion I guess.

I hope Yoda has hair.

Long hair midlife crisis Yoda would be sort of amazing

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.

Kinda funny how the leaks from like two years ago about Mando using a Naboo Starfighter in season 3 turned out to be true, but no one mentioned how modded and rat-rodded it would be.

It's just such a loving exceptionally brilliant and hilarious choice. Rocky-fied versions of Star Wars themes is also something I didn't know I needed in my life.

Also nice to see Mando upgrading to a...what is that, space mustang hotrod?


I got the energy of those folks turning P-51s into race planes.

I was very amused by our racing pilot droid just getting run the gently caress over after they fixed him up.

I could see doing a series or animated thing about a TIE pilot. From their time in the Imperial Academy to fighting pirates to the full on rebellion. Maybe some internal imperial poo poo with some Admiral trying to cause all sorts of harvok. You'd probably need to thrown in some secret Emperor's Order poo poo or something to keep people engaged since they've gotta have something Jedi/Sith adjacent.

The empire are the bad guys though. And too many people already seem to forget this without shows portraying them as the "heroes".

True, I wouldn't want to give a missile boat full of ammo for those people to SLAM into the rest of the internet with. Maybe a show about a family of intergalactic traders being pulled into the GCW? Having to pick sides etc and then eventually joining up with our X-Wing loving alliance? They could try and help the rebellion gain supremacy (shout out to the UK and Ireland crowd).

You want a TIE pilot series?

Careful with that monkey's paw because that will get you DARKLIGHTER in August 2027.

A full 15 percent of the budget will go to "bitching 70s pornstaches."

I mean I am frankly already incredibly aroused. They could include the Imperial Pursuit of the rebels and the development of the B-Wing

Okay so new tv show idea. The rebellion discovers the empire is mining ore for some sort of new super weapon. Over the course of the season we discover it's all about creating some sort of "phantom" TIE that can cloak (I know, on a ship that small!). You can do ground based combat as they infiltrate the production facility, sweet space battles. I mean people love giant rear end ships so why not have one of the final episodes have a cloaked SSD or some poo poo.

Star Wars: The Second Rebel Offensive, coming soon to Disney +

Does Lucas have any famously weird or rich guy hobbies? Like how Leno collects vintage cars and Harrison Ford crashes planes.

He likes his racing a fair bit. He'll show up to F1 Grands Prix on occasion (usually Monaco)
