"The idea for Star Wars Resistance came out of my interest in World War II aircraft and fighter pilots" said Filoni. "My grandfather was a pilot and my uncle flew and restored planes, so that's been a big influence on me. There's a long history of high-speed racing in Star Wars, and I think we've captured that sense of excitement in an anime-inspired style, which is something the entire team has been wanting to do for a long time."

Well this COULD be awesome.

Although it might also feel like a Rebels rehash

so we get the back story to the first order but where does Ahsoka fit into this?

-Little Fin introduced into the order
-Hux gets its first training death star
-Maz and Han meeting?

Did I miss this - do we know if it is 3D or 2D (like "Forces of Destiny")?

Looking forward to it, but not thrilled about it being "anime-inspired."

Hopefully we get a preview of the look on May 4th,

There was a Forces of Destiny episode that showed Leia and Chewie meeting Maz between ESB and ROTJ. Maz referred to Chewie as "my boyfriend" and asked about Han, but it was clear she and Leia had never met. Which makes me think the Maz-Han/Chewie relationship developed before Han met Leia, which means they have been friends since before ANH.

thanks for the heads up. Just read that this takes place after bloodlines so my list is worthless

EDIT: already posted.

May get to see the T-85 X-Wing that the Republic fleet uses.

I'm thinking it's going to depend on the style of animation they choose to use. I'd think more Voltron on Netflix style which is done by Studio Mir out of South Korea (iirc), and less slice of life/comedy moe style out of Japan. Studio Mir also did Legend of Korea iirc. Though, one of the complaints regarding current animation styles is the use of 3D CGI elements with regular 2D animation.

With TCW and Rebels, it was all 3D and quality was pretty good across the board in most cases. Mixing 2D with 3D could present a bit of a challenge in making it meet their standard of quality.

rebels used relatively simplistic models and was pretty sparse, compared to the Clone Wars. This was due to a decrease in the budget.
But the lighting was gorgeous and made the 3D look so much better.

2D animation in general , especially 2D anime style, no longer does anything for me. I used to love, it, but now it is something of a turnoff for me.

I trust the stories will be great, the voice cast is lining up to be solid.
But for me, the art style will be make/break whether I can watch it.

In the new Han/Lando novel Han is on Takodana at Maz's place something like 7 or 8 years before ANH. I'm not very far into the book and it's been a few days so I don't remember all the details

Really depends on which studio is doing the animation, and whether that studio can keep the quality up through the episodes. Some studios drop their quality as a series goes on which is very much noticeable on your long run anime adaptions from manga/comics like you had with the big three (Bleach, Naruto, One Piece). Some of your shorter run shows didn't suffer quite as much like Ghost in the Shell, Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works, or Psycho-Pass to name a few, but like I said that varies by studio.

Though considering that Lucasfilm is under Disney, and Disney's history of animation, I guess they could snag some from there if they wanted. However, I do get your point about the lighting and usually that is something not conveyed very well in most 2D animation styles.

I just finished Rebels. wtf happened at the end? how the hell does it jive that there's another living Force user in Ezra when supposedly Luke and Leia are the last ones?

The author of this piece thinks this might be Lando's daughter...

Not through it yet but some indication they might be headed that way in Last Shot. Setting it up, anyway.

Connecting a book that comes out now to a movie that's just been written? No way Lucasfilm plans things out that well

He's growing out his hair, which likely means a fairly lengthy time jump between movies. I wouldn't call this "major" by any means...

Cool then my IX intro is still in play

Boyega going to have longer hair than his woman?

Amazing

Genius.

What pisses me off is that my perfect response to your Ron H story was deleted.

Amazing

And that's why you always leave a note.
