    Not very impressed by the first few episodes. Boring fights, flat comedy, eye-piercing art style.

Rebels was similar, though it ended up being inferior to Clone Wars in almost every aspect. Resistance seems to continue that trend.

    The Flight choreography is somehow even more boring than Rebels, and this is supposed to be a show specifically about pilots. The ships hardly move and the pilots have terrible aim unless the plot demands otherwise. The dialogue feels like it was written by 4kids, and the art style just hurts to look at. Granted, the animation itself is nice and fluid, more fluid than Rebels was and less stiff than Clone wars. However, the bright colors and obnoxious dialogue make this point moot.

    Kids will be entertained by the bright colors and cheap jokes, but beyond that this show is a pass for me.    … Expand

    It is actually a good show later on if you can endure the painful beginning episodes and annoying main character who improves also during the show. The first episode is so filled with overacting and an annoying Kazuda Xiono that it hurts. Don't use the „This is a show for kids“ argument as this is an insult for kids. There are other shows for kids that do better.

The first episode is so filled with overacting and an annoying Kazuda Xiono that it hurts. Don't use the „This is a show for kids“ argument as this is an insult for kids. There are other shows for kids that do better. For example: Look what serious lessons are brought sneaky into “The Fairy OddParents” or how deep and good Avatar: The Last Airbender” is. I think a lot of the negative reviews came from this first episode(s) and I cant blame anyone here as the first impression is important for a TV show. To be fair the first seasons of “The Clone Wars” and “Rebels” were also weaker as were other science fiction shows like for example TNG and DS9 to make a sacrilegious Star Trek comparison here. Sadly Kazuda while being relatable and has a good heart for me is also really annoying before he becomes a far better character. It is not Jar Jar levels but if the show were more popular he would maybe be regarded as second coming of Jar Jar. He gets better during the show but the annoyance never left completely. A lot of the first episodes are about him failing at almost everything and being annoying for everyone. I think he starts as the weakest main character in all Star Wars shows and it is not worth to endure for many. Even I just wanted to see if it gets better and if the people who praise this show have found redeeming qualities. At the end of season 1 I say it improves a lot and if the first episodes were as good as the later half I would fully praise the show and it would probably be in the 8/10 range or maybe a bit higher. Lets start with a general story set up: It is the story of New Republic pilot Kazuda Xiono who meets the legendary Resistance ace pilot Poe Dameron. Inspired by him he wants to join the Resistance too and ends on the refueling station on the planet Castelion as spy. The station has some strategic value as it is a place were many fractions have interests in. So starts the story and it sounds promising on paper but is weaker in actually. Characters: Like I already said the main character Kazuda Xiono starts as probably the weakest in the cast and I blame this on the script and poor decisions. He is a typical rich / influential father kid with no special skills except being a really good pilot. He is really annoying, clumsy and insecure but improves later so much that I liked him and want to see more but he is at the beginning so annoying that a lot of people given up on the show. I say from episode 6 onward it gets better and the actual plot is also getting started. The rest of the cast is excellent and far outclasses the main character (at least at the first half). Jarek Yeager has a lot of depth to his character when you know his story as have Tamara Ryvora, Torra Doza and Captain Doza. Neeku Vozo became one of my favorites and Synara Sans struggle and arc are excellent. Also the side characters Orka & Flix, Aunt Z and the two child's Kel and Ezra are truly enjoyable. There are a lot of familiar faces in the show and the fan service is O.K. Visually the show looks excellent and I praise the style. No misstep in this regard and it is probably better than “Rebels” and “Clone Wars”. Soundtrack it is good by Star Wars standards which is expected by now. My favorite episodes are: “The Children from Tehar” for the so named characters, ideas and story including the conclusion. “The Platform Classic” for learning more about Yaegers past, interesting dilemma and conclusion. “Bibo” even if its foreseeable for the story, Bibo and Neeku. The final 3 episodes “Descent”, “No Escape part 1 and 2” for a strong final, Tamaras struggles and overall story. A really strong finish. Overall this is an example how not to make the first episodes of a show and not to introduce the main character. The harsh criticism is valid for the beginning of the show but it also improves later on to a level were I can also understand and support the praise of the show. It is hard to give an advice or to decide if it is worth watching with such a weak start and I am a huge Star Wars fan. The later half is really good and improves my rating. So I give a 5/10 as the good characters and later half save the show for me.… Expand

    Strictly For Kids
    Unlike The Clone Wars and Rebels, Star Wars: Resistance is really only for kids aged 4-8.

    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.
