A new anime-style 'Star Wars' series is coming...

[Holko 9,499]

 

Looks incredibly cheap and nasty. I'd have thought this is a Telltale games series rather than an official series.

[crocodile 7,984]

You might not like it. But "cheap"?

This is not anime style, this is an even further step back from Rebels just so they can get away with simple 1-tone textures. You may say the facial and walking animations are just parts of the style, but that style was specifically developed to make animation cheap and quick. Even the setting - if it's all on an endless ocean, they just have to throw some blue in the background and don't have to bother with landscapes casting different dynamic shadows or winds moving foliage.

[crocodile 7,984]

It looks fine to me. And I don't even care about the show.

[Bilbo 3,709]

Nah, it looks cheap and rushed. 

 

Looks even more kid orientated than Rebels. 

 

Thank God there’s more Clone Wars coming! 

[Nick1Ø66 4,689]

I'm no expert on animation, so I can't say whether this is style or just looks cheap.  It does, however, look stupid.

HOT TAKE: I have no opinion

[Bespin 8,480]

Cheap and nasty?

 

From a guy who quote South Park...

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

Looks bad but better than Rebels/Clone Wars

[John 2,032]

Anyone else notice that that trailer has more than twice as many dislikes than likes?

 

I’m beginning to realize that nothing will ever please this fandom.

[Holko 9,499]

This... thing certainly won't. The finally properly finished Clone Wars probably will. Aside from Poe and BB8, there isn't even anything in the trailer reminiscent of the feel and design of Star Wars - Rebels at least paid a ton of homage to McQuarrie.

Just wait. The majority of fans will eat it up, but there’s definitely going to be those people who cry “Disney has ruined Clone Wars! The old show was more dark and epic! Kiddy trash!”

[Muad'Dib 1,801]

Too much Voltron for my taste.

[Pellaeon 593]

Aren’t all cartoons kiddie trash by definition?

 

Except South Park, of course.

 

I won’t watch it, but I for one am glad someone’s thinking of the children. My children won’t be allowed to watch it, but, I’m sure it’s fine for other people’s children.

Oh please tell me you're not one of those tedious people who excuse bad, lazy or sloppy art as simply the rantings of toxic fandom.

I don’t think they’re creating any new Clone Wars. They’re just finishing off what was never finished.

[Holko 9,499]

Some episodes are even going to be ones which were already shared in rough storyboard-esquely animated, but voiced form.

But how can people agree with you if you don't have an opinion!?

 

If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.

Yup, looks like the Bad Batch arc is among them

Indeed. I have made the choice to not pay attention and not have an opinion on this particular children’s series

What makes a man go...neutral....

 

The art style for this looks like an evolution of shows that I've seen as a kiddo, so I'm used to it. I thought that Rebels cartoon looked turn-offingly ugly, Ralph McQuarrie "inspiration" be damned, so it's not a downgrade in my eyes.

 

Haven't really cared about any of these computer animated Star Wars shows, so I'll blissfully live my life ignorant of this one's merits or lack thereof.

[mstrox 6,647]

I have no strong feelings on the animation style.  The preview animation is better than what I feared it would be (some Pokémon-level BS).  I'll give it a chance like I did with Clone Wars and Rebels, both of which had some really clunky models and some really good stuff too.  The story is more important to me than the medium anyway.

[The Illustrious Jerry 3,356]

I will not be watching this. 

 

I'm just barely going through Rebels. Clone Wars was the epitome of Star Wars television. I'm afraid there's not much more can be done.

[Demodex 557]

I didn't watch Clone Wars or Rebels, but I'll probably watch this. 

[The Illustrious Jerry 3,356]

Clone Wars > Rebels > (tentative, possibly, guessing, TBD, most likely, predicting, projected) Resistance

 

This show looks pretty dumb. I will not be giving it my time. I'm surprised I'm even doing Rebels, which is a step down from The Clone Wars. Just hope for good things from the reboot!

[mstrox 6,647]

Jerry my man, I like you, but how could you possibly place a value judgment on a show that hasn't aired yet?

This is all tentative mstrox. Trailers should be able to get viewers or not get viewers. This one does not show much promise and while I do say I won't watch it (I will, it's me) I don't have high hopes. Besides, I really like The Clone Wars and I'm caught up in Rebels right now.

[John 2,032]

I agree with mstrox. We've only seen one trailer. Wait until the show is actually out before you go making assumptions as to whether it's worth watching.

Yeah I guess. I'm typically quick to judge these things. 

[Bilbo 3,709]

I’m assuming it can’t be worse than Rebels. 

 

It doesn’t have Ezra, that’s a start. 

[The Illustrious Jerry 3,356]

I don't hate Rebels, but it's not a masterpiece. 

[DarthDementous 1,059]

if that's the main character I'm already pretty turned off. things are seeming pretty damn one dimensional and oh joy, another whiny teenager/young adult. its also barely recognisable as Star Wars which to the credit of Rebels did not have that problem.

I have very low expectations for this, but we'll see when it comes out.

[Demodex 557]

Have any of you watched Stretch Armstrong on Netflix?  This will have the same writers, one of which is my friend from high school. 

 

This is his writing filmogtaphy:

Well, at least since Mary Elizabeth McGlynn is in this show, it's now easier to play Six Degrees of John Williams with Silent Hill.....

Update:  it's fine
