First episode was last night. I think it has some promise. Set sometime before Force Awakens, main character is sent on a spy mission by Poe to try to find out about the First Order.

Where is this? Disney channel?
I disagree: Rebels and Clone Wars were pretty immature at first before starting to have a voice and hitting more mature themes and story structures (Clone Wars got there quicker if I remember, and Rebels didn't until season 2). Resistance was definitely campy with the lead (Kaz?) acting pretty juvenile and shouting all the time, but the last ~5mins of the hour long premier showed that this could reach the same level of those.twilly said:
Rebels and Clone Wars were animated series.
Resistance is a cartoon. A bit campy and over the top. Lead character has to overcome his massive ego and overly bumbling nature to become the hero.
I also think as the show progresses the storyline will cement and it will become a better show. But for those thinking this is going to be a Rebels/CW type show, I wouldn't count on it.
The two additional online episodes were just as campy as the premier, and even with the lead having his "reflection" moments in each.israeliag said:I disagree: Rebels and Clone Wars were pretty immature at first before starting to have a voice and hitting more mature themes and story structures (Clone Wars got there quicker if I remember, and Rebels didn't until season 2).

By far the best part of the premier was [sp]that the lead (a) didn't win the race; (c) didn't listen soon enough to the wiser wiser "boss-type" character to avoid near-disaster; (c) but did end up overcoming his ego and listening to him before crashing his ship. A lesser show would have had the lead not come to his wits until after crashing his ship.[/sp]
That and the green, super-naive alien.

Dang so we have to wait another week for new episodes? Didn't realize they were going to show episodes that were already released on their app.

If they would dial back the slapstick and get off the platform every now and then, it would be a lot better. Sticking with it for now.

Worst SW animation to date.
I personally like the art style, maybe the most of the three animated series, but that's a very personal preference.C@LAg said:I hate the art style.txagman1998 said:
Anyone still watching? Still clearly a Disney Channel cartoon, but the plot has definitely gotten serious now. Sunday's episode was pretty good and next week looks like a doozy.
And some of the voice acting is... bad.
