    Contains very mild spoilers.

    Good things: I like the animation. Dogfigths look great. If they end up making some huge space battles it could look amazing, Characters look ok, but not great but it didn't bother me too much. Mediocre things: Music. It is only my opinion, but the music wasn't "starwarsy" enough for me. It is forgettable and lacks epicness of star wars. Bad things:    Contains very mild spoilers.

    Mediocre things: Music. It is only my opinion, but the music wasn't "starwarsy" enough for me. It is forgettable and lacks epicness of star wars.

    Bad things:
    Story. It is quite obvious that this is a series for young kids. It is not Avatar: The Last Airbender. it is not Dragon Prince.
    Characters. They are boring and one dimensional. Main problem is the main character: Kaz is very goofy and really annoying as main character. (and I didn't think Ezra was annoying like most people). He is constantly narrating what he is doing. Oh and he is apparently indestructible. He gets blown up by blaster fire from the platform into the air (should be dead), lands on the front window of passing pirate ship (very dead). Gets thrown from the pirate ship back on the platform (super dead)...... and he lands in the same spot with no injury... :/ The force was with him?

    Why would the Resistance even send some random pilot on some random spying mission? Shouldn't they send someone who knows how to do spy stuff and want to do the job? Also isn't he part of New Republic Military? Its not even mentioned that he is a deserter.

    Nitpicking:
    First scene really bugs me. There are three Republic Fighters engaging one First Order TIE. and they fly in the straight line like three Idiots away from the TIE, screaming all the time that they are doomed, and that enemy pilot is sooo good... It is quite obvious that they should scatter, TIE follows one X-Wing, rest of them attack him easily from behind. They probably wanted to establish that Major Vonreg is a threat, and he is capable of attacking superior enemy force alone. All I got is that republic pilots are incompetent, and they know nothing about starfighter combat.

    This bugs me because main character is starfighter pilot. Starfighter pilot = many space battles. And this space battle SUCKED.(still looks good) It is puzzling because they were capable of making those kind of engagements properly in rebels (skilled baddie pilot wiping floor with the good guys) like Vader vs, Phoenix fleet, Protectors vs. Hera squadron,

    That's all. There are some good things but it is mostly bad.

    November: Still not good. It is good that First Order Stormtroopers are still graduates of Stormtrooper School of Not Hitting Things. :] Also I suspect that higher ranking FO officers are Power Rangers. Red Power Ranger pilot, Gold Power Ranger infantry officer, And their leader: Chrome Power Ranger, Maybe gold armour is a uniform for middle ranking officers, but I have a bad feeling (Star Wars!), that every minor villain of the week will have different armour color.    … Expand

    I have to say this show is a disappointment half way through season 1. The writing is awful. The scenarios that the characters find themselves in are ludicrous even by children's standards. The character's reactions to the situations they find themselves in is even more ludicrous. There is little to no character development.

The scenarios that the characters find themselves in are ludicrous even by children's standards. The character's reactions to the situations they find themselves in is even more ludicrous. There is little to no character development. The series was sold as a series about racing and becoming a star pilot. So far the only racing the main character has done was in the first episode. While this show may be airing on Disney and so many will say this is just a kid's show, Clone Wars and Rebels were able to satisfy the needs of both children and adults at the same time. Other cartoons are also able to successfully walk the line between being a show that is interesting and fun for kids as well as adults. Star Wars:Resistance fails miserably at this.… Expand

    Basically SWR consists of a string of nonsensical actions by the characters for the sake of plot convenience. For example Poe recruits Kaz, basically at random and within the first five minutes of meeting him. Kaz is not the most brilliant character either doing the most dumb things that will have you asking if he is really that stupid. Another question is to whom this is aimed at.

Yeah, supposedly kids, but #1 it is canon so naturally all star wars fans would like to consume it, and #2 it is too late at night for kids. So, what gives? Anyway, final verdict, SWR is too stupid, unfunny and boring. It might improve, but first impressions are important.… Expand

    More poor writing. No depth in characters. They can't create a compleling story for any new characters. In TFA and TLJ, they started great with Rey and Finn, then they screwed up their stories...and made them dull. Disney is doing the same thing with Resistance....but they can't even get a good character with a good story started. Also silly dialog....i know its for children...butMore poor writing.

    Following Disney's continuous destruction of SW saga, this is a show with no plot and no concept, forgettable characters and shallow dialogues. Aimed at 8-9 year old children, it has absolutely nothing to do with the previous TV SW series. If you're a fan, avoid.

    What can i say? Poor writing, predictable story, very bad animation quality. Even a 3 year old will find the show boring and tedious.
    Bad direction for Disney and most importantly - for Star Wars.

    While this new show has its moments, unlike the earlier animated series, it doesn’t appear that the apex of the “Star Wars” lies along the path of “Resistance.”

    It’s an entertaining enough hour for kids — my 8-year-old was spellbound — but whether it attracts adult viewers as “Rebels” and “Clone Wars” did probably depends on how the show’s serialized story develops.

    The Star Wars Resistance premiere is a fun watch, and as good a reason as any to tune into Disney late on a Sunday night. Where it goes from there, we’ll just have to wait and see.
