Holko 9,526 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Looks incredibly cheap and nasty. I'd have thought this is a Telltale games series rather than an official series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,526 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 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.

John 2,032 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 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.

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.

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 6,651 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 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 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I will not be watching this. I'm just barely going through Rebels. Clone Wars was the epitome of Star Wars television.

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 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!

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 Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthDementous 1,059 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
