Targeting kids and still be appealing to other audiences isn't mutually exclusive.

TCW and Rebels were popular with kids though, Star Wars has always been an all ages IP, so don't see reason they have to bother with a heavy kids focus, it just cuts into the shows reach and it's merch potential.
I guess.
We will see how Resistance develops..
The showrunner said Resistance will overlap with TFA. So there is a chance that the tone of the show will change.

Resistance having juvenile humor and still being able to enjoy it as an adult are not mutually exclusive things, folks
If it were, we all would have sworn off the whole franchise years ago lol

I don't mind juvenile humor. But the show is just really boring so far and the characters are mediocre at best.
How so? By what standard for a kids TV show are we pulling from, here?
There isn't a standard, it's just how I feel about the Resistance currently. Rebels, for example, is a kids TV show in my book and it managed to keep me interested and had characters I liked.
Of course that's 100% subjective, I was just hoping that I'd enjoy it as much as Rebels or TCW.

Resistance so far is perfectly adequate, in that it sets out to accomplish something each episode and then it does that. The issue is that what it's doing isn't very exciting.
I expect/hope that once we get past season 1 and it passes TFA in the timeline, it will start to actually do something.

Rebels got really good. Some of its highs were better than anything in CW.
I don't have the same faith in Resistance. It's...not good. But Filoni isn't really running it so that may be why.

Thing is, I'm totally digging what they're currently doing with the show's narrative. Slowly building up the threat of the FO via the pirates, while simultaneously developing the "character" of the Colossus and it's inhabitants. For a kids show, there's a fair amount of nuance in how they're handling it.
At the very least, I'm more into this show than I was at this point in S1 with Rebels (helps that as a setting, the Colossus blows Lothal out of the water)

Yooo this is cool. It even fixes the bit where that one guard can stab Rey.
20 years ago today it came out.
I've rarely been more excited. Maybe for Episode VII.
Just checked. Episode 7 teaser #1 was released on 11/28/14. That would be really nice if JJ did that again.

In actuality: Guy just makes Star Wars characters with potatoes.
Y'all remember that? They had the most random shit to kill time during the livestream.
Lol wow. Sure does sound like him. Maybe he wasn't getting enough work yet :p
I just want my lightsaber I ordered about 2 months ago. Shit apparently is finally getting read to ship in about 15-20 days. Arghhhhhhhhh.
Isn't Celebration in Chicago next year? I shoulda tried to go it's just 60 miles from me
Am I alone in thinking the raddest part of that is the art used in the thumbnail?
I genuinely believe Solo would have made a couple hundred million more dollars if it was due next month.
With Mary Poppins, Aquaman and Bumblebee next month I would be surprised.
Those movies would have moved their dates if Solo was originally booked for December.

Spoiler - that's Gritty walking behind her.
I was so hyped for TFA and I'm still amazed it was better than I expected.
Wonder how many of the casual audiences think..
"Huh? Its almost december, wasn't there supposed to be a SW film this year?"

I remember going to the mall during TFA hype and was amazed that literally every store had something Star Wars related. EVERY. SINGLE. STORE.
On me I could've walked out with Star Wars shoes, pants, underwear, buttplug, undershirt, shirt, hoodie, glasses, hat, wallet, phonecase and even Star Wars branded food in mah belly. Never seen anything like that before.
