On one hand, it's For KidsTM
On the other, the style reminds me a bit of that fanmade TIE Fighter short and I'm kinda into it?
Holy shit, that trailer was super hype.

Damn, thats good
I don't play it, but that doesn't stop me from buying the little plastic starships. $200 is too much even for me though.We are getting a giant SSD for Armada at least. Course no one plays Armada here.... sad
Heh, an X-Wing-scale Death Star would probably be similar in size to the Epcot sphere.
I can't wait for a 45 minute scene of exposition carefully explaining the mystery of the force.
I'd rather have fucking Lucas back
Biiiiig pass on that one. Move along.. move along!
Come now, Nolan is not some exposition horse. He made The Prestige.
Think Nolan has gotten a bad rap because of Inception, which is weird since heist movies always involve exposition, it's like a defining feature of all heist films. The audience has to know the rules, the plan etc.
Plus his last movie was Dunkirk for chrissake. It was basically a silent picture
I don't have an issue with that scene but I also don't think it's supposed to be cringey. It's supposed to not make sense logically and we're supposed to question what she's saying, especially since we know her to be very logical and calculating up until this point. She's also later proved right as we see from the tesseract scene.Yep, he also gets dragged for that one scene in Interstellar where Brandt talks about love. But, the whole point is that it's cringey and desperate because she just wants to see her husband.

Hows Resistance so far? Both as a show and a vehicle for telling post OT stories?
Incredibly dissapointing. Makes the wait for the new saga stuff even harder. At least we're getting Clone Wars back and The Mandalorian. But with the amount of SW stuff coming out the stuff I really enjoy is too sparse for my liking.Lackluster so far. The plot isn't very interesting and the main character is incredibly annoying. Due to the location, it doesn't really tie into the main saga much and everything is fairly low key. It's much more obviously oriented towards little kids than even Rebels was.
I think we're going to have to see what happens once they pass TFA in the timeline.
I think Resistance is very enjoyable. It's an explosion of color, very pleasant to look at, lots of interesting details in the backgrounds, aliens, droids, etc. to look at. Kaz the main character is very likeable and earnest.Hows Resistance so far? Both as a show and a vehicle for telling post OT stories?

Maybe Ill check out the comics instead for the time being.
Im incredibly dissapointed that the show doesn't sound at all appealing to my tastes. I don't really see why that's a problem.As a show it's quite enjoyable. Some of the slapstick humour can be childish, and the main character is a large source of that humour. However, as the series goes on and he gradually moves on from his previously sheltered lifestyle (he grew up in luxury in the Core Worlds, and was a pilot with the New Republic, both thanks to his father - a Senator in the New Republic) to becoming more mature and more aware. He makes a bumbling mistake in The High Tower, but uses the knowledge gained their to protect some runaways in The Children of Tehar. There is some comedic misadventures in related to a substance called 'Hyperfuel' in Fuel For The Fire, but that feeds his (and our) knowledge of the substance in The Platform Classic. It's all tying together rather well.
As a for post-OT platform, this flesh out the world of the ST considerably. The First Order are treated with suspicion by most people, being seen mostly as some odd relic of a bygone war on the fringes of the galaxy, rather than some looming immediate threat. The Resistance isn't known to most people (the lead himself only knows of it because of his father being a Senator), and not well thought of by those who do. There are references abound, such as characters making references to the post-Empire military disarmament from the Aftermath trilogy, or meeting a winner of the Five Sabers race from Bloodlines. A Nemoidian pilots a ship type used by the Trade Federation, and the Guavian Death Gang from TFA make a brief appearance. Alien species from all trilogies show up in both background and supporting roles.
At least wait for more than one persons input before announcing yourself "incredibly [disappointed]". It looks like you were less in search of a consensus of opinion, and more after confirmation bias.
That's all the Russos are good at. I single out those two directors not simply for their style but ethos of filmmaking even in a major blockbuster. Nolan and V don't give two fucking licks about cool, long ass fight scenes. They only care about character and themes, their action scenes used to further reveal these two characteristics. Who gives a shit how awesomely choreographed the second Bane fight is, the point is Batman conquering his fears or rather learning to live with them again.
Russos just throw action slop around to rouse the nerd fanbase, but they rarely have a larger point. Rian understood this with TLJ, fuck your fanservice, it's about the characters. I want a character and theme focused director for Star Wars not Michael Bay or whoever else.
Im incredibly dissapointed that the show doesn't sound at all appealing to my tastes. I don't really see why that's a problem.
Resistance was already going to be an uphill battle to get me interested after seeing its visuals and its setting as I've personally never realled cared or been interested in the resistance as a concept. So hearing that its also more kid friendly than rebels, (which I didn't really like up until it got into darker themes and delved into the force) this show does not sound like its for me.
Because its the input of a long time SW poster that I happen to trust which also confirmed my suspicions going into the show in the first place?But you only had one persons input when you made that post. I was questioning why you'd come into this thread to canvas opinions, to only read input of one person before declaring yourself "incredibly disappointed", not but half an hour after your initial question.
Editor MaryAnn Brandon said:I mean, originally, again, there were shots of – she goes into this – she touched the Lightsaber she went into this room – and then it became the room in Cloud City. Which you can still kind of see because we still kept that idea, but then she used to walk down the hall and she saw Darth Vader and Luke fighting and she saw Darth Vader cut Luke's hand off. Then she turned around and she saw Snoke – some version of Snoke – vague version of him and a little boy. And then she…so, all those images we had didn't…they just didn't have a logic that satisfied anyone enough. So it was just one of those things ongoing figuring it out. In the original original script, the original idea Larry [Kasdan] and J. J. and I guess Michael Arndt had was it was kind of like a ride through the history of Star Wars and, you know, like almost instantly we were all like, 'No'.
Editor Mary Jo Markey said:John Williams re-recorded several cues because our changes were so extensive on some scenes that it just wasn't going to work to just edit them.
...
And one thing that JJ had an instinct about right from when he was shooting it, was the first meeting between Finn and Rey, when BB-8 recognizes Poe's jacket on Finn and Rey chases him. The writing of that changed during the hiatus and he did re-shoot it. In the first version, Finn acknowledged to Rey immediately that he was a Stormtrooper. JJ and I felt he wouldn't do this. He doesn't know who this girl is. She also just chased him down. So why is he, in that moment, going to speak the truth to her. It just turned out to be a plot turn that had resonance through the whole script, because then he has the moment where he has to confess to her that he didn't tell her the truth and it becomes this much deeper moment between them.
...
At one point, in the first reel (approximately the first 10 or 11 minutes) we saw Leia, we saw C3PO, we saw R2D2. It was so much more fun to kind of sprinkle that out throughout the film.

no idea how you arrived at that conclusion, I feel like Nolan cares very much about making cool-looking setpieces (it's literally one of his defining traits as a filmmaker!) just as the Russos care about character and theme, especially when it's so clearly reflected in their movies (Civil War isn't driven by character or theme?!). But I also remember you saying before about how you don't think Infinity War is even a real movie, so I doubt I'll be persuading you otherwise... :lol
A bunch of Star Wars fans were already losing their minds over the mildly auteuristic approach of RJ. Could you imagine what kind of implosion these guys could do?Plenty of more fitting and interesting choices out there. Denis Villeneuve is a good one, Alex Garland, hell even Robert Eggers would all make better and more interesting Star Wars films than either of the two.

He's already expressed interest. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he eventually directs one.. an obvious choice.There's probably more chance of me directing a Star Wars film than Villeneuve or Nolan.
Out of the three I listed, he's arguably the most likely. Wouldnt be surprised if he's already talked/talking to Lucasfilm and or RJ.There's probably more chance of me directing a Star Wars film than Villeneuve or Nolan.

I think he'll be scratching his sci-fi itch with Dune, which he wants to be "Star Wars for adults". I just can't see him wanting to do a family film and I think he'd be put off by the behind-the-scenes shenanigans with Rogue One and Solo.Out of the three I listed, he's arguably the most likely.

You know it makes sense.
PG-14 Star Wars saga trilogy about the unknown regions and dark side of the force with Eggers, Villeneuve and Garland all writting and directing a film.I think he'll be scratching his sci-fi itch with Dune, which he wants to be "Star Wars for adults". I just can't see him wanting to do a family film and I think he'd be put off by the behind-the-scenes shenanigans with Rogue One and Solo.
Alex Garland is actually more of a wildcard when it comes what kind of thing he might do with the property should he be given the chance.
On the one hand, he's written Sunshine, Never Let Me Go as well as directed Ex Machina and Annihilation.
On the other hand, this is the same dude who's written Dredd, Enslaved, and DmC: Devil May Cry.
Awwww yissNick Nolte joins the Mandalorian.

SW has sort of evolved out of being strictly "family entertainment". Sure, it's definitely that, but if you want to your focus can be on more profound and deeper components, as we saw with TLJ.I think he'll be scratching his sci-fi itch with Dune, which he wants to be "Star Wars for adults". I just can't see him wanting to do a family film and I think he'd be put off by the behind-the-scenes shenanigans with Rogue One and Solo.
