SPOILERS AHEAD V V V V V So far episodes 1 to 4 have been a very slow, there has been the appearance of a new First Order Interceptor and red Pilot (with a very strange helmet mashup design) and of course First Order Stormtroopers (why the long face troopers)http://digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/18/41/768x438/gallery-1538992089-star-wars-resistance-tie-interceptor.jpg We also see Phasma. A throw back to original Stormtrooper's with a helmet and armor worn by one of the pirates in episode 3. One character yet to make an appearance, the Gold Stormtrooper "Commander"http://cdn.epicstream.com/assets/uploads/newscover/760x400/153869534904_-_Star_Wars_Resistance,_Commander_Pyre.jpg Hopefully the pace will pick up in the coming episodes.

PhilBobTheFish Posted October 30, 2018 Report Posted October 30, 2018 Either BB-8's head got bigger or he decided to slim down, because those proportions look off. Quote
Harbinger[IPM] Posted October 30, 2018 Report Posted October 30, 2018 Watched the first few episodes, not a fan so far. That said... that gold stormtrooper! That almost makes up for the show being such a snoozefest. Anyone know where I can get my FOTK kit goldplated? Quote
sharkbait[TK] Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 I can't get past the animation style. It just looks... terrible, honestly. And those weird proportions bother me. Cartoon proportions, fine, but Clone Wars did a great job and it was animated. Also, the story line from what I've heard is more geared toward kids (nothing wrong with that, but I am in fact 32 and not 10 anymore). Quote
PhilBobTheFish Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 Yeah, it is definitely a kid's show. But hey, Star Wars is Star Wars. 2 Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 Hey - back in '77 Star Wars was also marked at kids, and look how that turned out. ;-) It's smart for them to target the next generation of fans. Even for my kids (11 & 13) while they may like Star Wars and Empire, most of their favs are the newer movies like The Force Awakens and Rogue One. 2 Quote
PhilBobTheFish Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 The only thing I don't like about the animation is the First Order helmet. It looks like it was sat on and then smelled a bad fart. Oh well, at least the Stormie helmet looks fine. Quote
Harbinger[IPM] Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 Eh, I don't mind it. I didn't like the animated Clonetroopers or Rebels TKs at first, but they grew on me. 1 Quote

The "anime-inspired" style takes some getting used to, but at least they didn't take inspiration from the more ... abstract anime out there. Quote

I have watched shows in that style, so it personally does not bother me. But I can see why some don't like it, it takes some getting used to. But still, the FO helmet though... Quote

The "anime-inspired" style takes some getting used to, but at least they didn't take inspiration from the more ... abstract anime out there. I actually like anime, and the style doesn't bother me. I would say I like the more "mainstream" animes, though (Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Escaflowne, Helsing, Outlaw Star, Witch Hunter Robin). Maybe because I've never seen those characters in anything but anime style, but here we have live action, semi-realistic computer generated animation, etc. I also didn't much like the style of the Clone Wars movie that much, but I still like it better than this. I guess if it's not the animation I used to watch on Saturday mornings when I was a kid then it's this newfangled stuff and y'all can get off my lawn. 1 Quote

Do you think maybe someone at Lucasfilm Animation is familiar with the Donald Duck remarks about the FO helmets, and decided to have fun with it? After all, Disney animators have a history of putting Easter Eggs in their work ... Quote
