John 2,032 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 ‘Star Wars Resistance’: Dave Filoni’s ‘Rebels’ Follow-Up is an Anime-Style Series Set Before ‘The Force Awakens’ Interesting. I wonder if Lucasfilm will bring back Kevin Kiner as composer? Also, anime BB-8 is my new favorite thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Cool. Never liked the CG animation style of Clone Wars and Rebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought on seeing the announcement. After two series of successful collaboration between Dave Filoni and Kevin Kiner, I really see no reason why they should stop now. As for the supposed 'anime' style, I really just hope it wont be as bad as the original non-Filoni Clone Wars cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm not the biggest fan of anime-style animation, although it can be gorgeous when done right, but anything's better than the ugly nasty CG of the previous two series. It at least has personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 There was nothing ugly about the later seasons of TCW. The early seasons sons they were just learning stuff. Rebels screams “low budget”. But Clone Wars seasons 3 onwards was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,526 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The only good thing about Rebels' looks was how heavily McQuarrie-inspired it was, especially the first season. And that's more art direction than art style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,651 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I think both shows' visuals improved dramatically as they built up their libraries of resources. In the grand scheme of (current) kids' TV animation, they were probably top-notch. The non-character stuff (action and space battles) in both was excellent. Nobody does hand-drawn anymore, unfortunately. It's all CGI and Flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 As Indiana Jones would say: "Anime, why did it have to be anime"? Actually, with that style and main character name, combined with Chirrut and Baze and Rose, does anyone else think Disney is trying to warm China/Asia to the concept of Star Wars?

mstrox 6,651 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I liked his scores for The Clone Wars and Rebels, so I'd love to hear more. Given the change in style, it also couldn't hurt to mix it up. Since Filoni is only an overseer on the project, and there is a different EP/showrunner, it's possible that the hiring decisions will be a little different.

Although I’m not sure there is a style of cartoon that I truly like, short of Sleeping Beauty (1959). Ah well, a little something for everyone. I’m looking forward to the live-action television series and the Benioff/Weiss film series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,651 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'll give everything a shot! I read all the comics and have watched all the shows at this point. I'm way behind on books, mainly because I started doing a ground-up reread of Legends a few years ago, but I intend to read all of them too. The only Star Wars media I don't keep up with (or intend to keep up with) is video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Since the closure of LucasArts, all that's been released is mobile games and multiplayer-focused shooters. There was gonna be that promising-sounding game from Visceral but who know what's going on there at this point, since Visceral was closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 That game was cancelled I believe. The mobile games have been awful. There's just about a full game between the two Battlefront games but they get old fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything in terms of aesthetic in Rebels is 100% Mcquarrian. Go get one of those OT "art of" books and skim through it. Rebels is on point stylistically.
