This show is garbage, I have five episodes left and literally nothing has happened. It's been seventeen fucking episodes and not a single god damn thing has happened. Can't wait for it to crossover with the two shittiest Star Wars films too, the best they can fucking do is bring even worse shit into this. If this was supposed to get me excited for Episode Nine they fucking failed

The show should have started with the last few episodes. It feels like they had 1 season then some suit came along and told them to stretch it out to 2.
So yea almost everything up until now has been a complete waste of time.

Gavin Howard
Ever since Rebels, turbolasers have been ridiculously nerfed. Just remember the pathetic excuses of orbital bombardment we saw there.
Mason Nelson
turbolaser power levels are based on the plot demands. one barrage can rip apart kaskyyyk (Life Debt) or three ISD barrages can barely damage a small area (Rebels).
Carson Edwards
This. I loved TCW and enjoyed Rebels. Until the new season of TCW starts, I'm not interested because the sequel era is just boring.
Ayden Clark
Probably because any Star Wars thread quickly devolves into shitposting about how Disney sucks and TCW was the kinoest kinofest that ever kinoed and everything else sucks and X sucks because it's not kino like TCW and Disney makes you hate Star Wars and no, you don't watch the show being discussed but you hate it.

Kaz grew a lot on me, once they dropped the "haha, look how shit a pretend mechanic he is" comedy routine. I enjoyed the finale quite a bit. The bit with Hosnian Prime blowing up was neat. Not really on board with the drama surrounding Tam (black mechanic girl). You could practically hear the writers grinding her character gears to let her make stupid decisions and Kaz not screaming at her that the guys she's about to join just blew up his home planet. Didn't expect them blowing the red baron pilot up. I expected him to have a larger role, but now he seems kinda wasted. Neeku, right down to the last episode, didn't work for me. Or rather his role as comic relief. He's JarJar levels of "funny". Either hire a better comedic writer, or let him be a proper character. Interesting place they left them in at the end. Since nuwars space physics is kinda wonky, I don't know what to expect from the "lol dunno where we'll end up comment" and whether it means "we Farscape/Voyager now" or simply "we need to do one additional jump once we stop". Last not least, I'm not a fan of them doing no Force/Jedi/Sith related stuff whatsoever. Throw me some bone here. It was always about the mix of force lore and space war stuff.
Curious to see where they'll head with the story, since Ep7's plot is in full motion now. Not looking forward to the Tam drama. Maybe we get lucky and she's on Starkiller Base when it blows up and she just becomes "motivation" for the rest of the crew.
William Ramirez
Was thinking the same. At least leave some scorch marks. The way it flew away unscathed, it could probably hyperspace ram the death star and still fly off after a job well done.
On another note, the cel shading grew on me after a while. They managed to do some pretty nifty shots, especially when it came to scenery. I think the character designs are a bit too spindly noodly, but at least I got used to it somewhat. Also I don't like how the characters don't really convey a sense of weight and inertia in their movements, but that has been a problem in Rebels as well.
Zachary Thomas
Disney Canon have overall nerfed orbital bombardment. The reason they gave was because turbolasers now lose alot of their power traveling through an atmosphere for an extended period.
Only the pizza ship from TLJ can do a true orbital bombardment.
Hunter Wilson
Interesting point. That would explain how S1 ended. Now they can have them stranded in some corner of space, until TFA and maybe even TLJ have played out. Now they have till fall to figure out a plot for S2 that doesn't contradict whatever JJ plans to do in Ep9.
Ayden Carter

Also the point is that nobody's forcing you to sit there and watch it. If you're not enjoying a show after 17 episodes you're probably not going to enjoy it after another 5. That's why I stopped watching this show after the first 3.
Nathaniel Miller
No, the problem was it's a series explaining the background of a conflict no one has any interest or investment in.
Ayden Cooper
Why didn't Kaz just hyperspace ram the villains?
Jose Gonzalez
Well, by having Kaz come from Hosnian Prime, they at least managed to give us an attachment level to the destruction of the planet, as we had with Leia concerning Alderaan. Still doesn't really fix the new movies though. JJ and Johnson really shot themselves in the foot by not establishing at least some of the galactic politics stuff in their movies.

Why does an itty bitty problem involving a storm trooper commander, one platoon of mooks, an intelligence officer and one shuttle warrant the response of a star destroyer?
And where are the TIEs based?
Adam Myers
You gotta get people's attention somehow and Star Destroyers are always a cool thing to look at.
To be honest, Resistance does not have a good Star Wars aesthetic and it's hard to see the show set in the SW universe. A relatively familiar Star Destroyer and TIE's tell us where we are.
Eli Roberts
If indeed the FO really really didn't want to let the Colossus get into Resistance hands then they've probably had one nearby this entire time as a fallback contingency. Remember that despite how pathetic the Resistance is the First Order really really fears them because reasons.

It's actually a gigantic sword for an ancient Jedi humanoid fightin' super robot. See how the very tip top tower looks like a sword hilt? And the basket section to protect the hand?

It has less dramatic tension because Kaz is just incognito rather than Ezra who has a Jedi's bounty on his head.

It has it's moments, but it lacks a LOT of what made Rebels work. The characters and their relationships aren't nearly as strong as in Rebels and the plot isn't anything to write home about.
If you enjoy the ST and want to see more stuff set in that timeframe I guess it's okay.

Wyatt Lopez
Mobile gas station and light ship station, it seems. Has docking zones big enough for starfighters, small cruisers and shuttles, but that's it.
Real question is, what is all that under the Colossus? Can it all operate unmanned or does Doza have a secret crew of workers/droids we never see?

Hosnian Prime destruction was pretty cool, but that was direct from TFA.
I like the racing segments.
The episode with Kaz and Poe out in space was good.
That's all I can really think off of the top of my head.
Charles Green
Hold on... I'm thinking...
Daniel Foster
The entire first season builds up the station, characters, and a slow build to an increased order presence as they get more and more forceful in having control over the station through diplomacy and appealing to the fact that the man in charge is ex-imperial.
Kaz finds the testing grounds for the superweapon from TFA, and has an idea why the First Order wants the station so badly but doesn't piece together the information to do him any good. The First Order takes over the station, starts whisking away dissidents into the night and have done their research on everyone at the station and arrest most rebels and rebel sympathizers. Kaz tries to call the rebels for help, they can't spare a single ship. The first order has an interest in Tam, who likes the order and stability they promise and she joins them and turns her back on Yeager and Kaz.
The season ends with TFO blowing up Kaz's homeworld and the station turning out to be a ship and abandoning the planet to TFO with an incomplete set of hyperdrive coordinates, so no one has any idea where they're going.
All in all a season heavy on world-building for the station and developing a very large cast of side-characters with some surprisingly competent villains, but with very small stakes.
Charles Garcia
>not liking girl cock
what are you, gay?
Jack Jenkins
The show starts off as a generic kiddy show, but it becomes better, later on.
Not too much world-building with the NR and FO, I am afraid. We see scubatroopers, a new probe droid and two troopers with colored armor like Phasma, who appears in a couple episodes and is even voiced by Gwendolyn Christie.
The racing stuff happens for a few episodes, but, like Pro Bending in Korra, it gets pushed aside for the plot. We never see the Aces get fleshed out except for the teenage girl and the Rodian.
The supporting cast is okay. Tam, the black girl, starts off as unlikable, but she becomes more sympathetic as we learn her backstory and perspective. Neeku is just bleh.
The actions of the main character, Kaz, actually do have consequences. The First Order, while not too threatening at first, do actually present a danger in the second half, especially after Kaz's espionage work with Poe. Not too threatening, of course, but they aren't Team Rocket levels of incompetent.
And, no, there aren't any Jedi or Sith, but one of the little kid characters is apparently force sensitive, though I skipped their intro episode so I don't know.
All in all, it's fine. A good 5-6/10.

If by "adjusted" you mean "pretty much entirely different except they're both vertically designed" then sure.
Now, that isn't to say they didn't take inspiration from Skystrike. They did.
>The Colossus was designed to fly upright/vertically, like a B-wing or the Resistance bombers, for a couple of reasons. Amy Beth Christenson: “First, it helped distinguish it from a Star Destroyer, since both were wedge-shaped. Second, because Doza’s tower would still act as the bridge of the ship, it kept the characters and set upright in space. This gave it a similar feel to Skystrike Academy from Star Wars Rebels, so to help distinguish the two bases, more emphasis was put on breaking up the silhouettes and shapes of the Colossus, and repeating the angles, panels, and details that Bill George put into the top section.”

I thought they kinda shat the bed with her at the end. I could kinda see her POV when she was grumpy about being kept in the dark and, as you said, the promise of stability that the order brings, but in the last episode, they kinda had to hit her (and Kaz) with the stupidity stick, for her to join the Order, after the blew up the planet with the central government of the known galaxy. That's on a whole different level compared to "boohoo you guyz didn't tell me about your secrit klub". Not that she had any business knowing. Now you may say that she may have not heard the news about Hosnian, but here's where Kaz got bludgeoned with the stupidity stick as well, since it wasn't the first thing he screamed out when trying to convince her not to join a genocidal military organization.
I enjoyed Kaz as the mc, whenever they let him break away from the ubiquitous ineptitude jokes during the first two thirds of the first season. The less Neeku is mentioned, the better. As a whole. the secondary cast doesn't feel as strong to me as the one from Rebels. I'm simply not as interested in them as I was with, say, Kanan. It's like seeing a bunch of Rose Tiko's running around. Kinda strange that the let the red pilot bite it, seeing as he was one of the few distinct faces on the Order's side. I hope they'll flesh out the other pilots a whole lot more in S2. The show needs more characters that leave me intrigued.
Gabriel Cooper
You never know. Maybe she's one of those people who hates the NR and probably secretly thinks that Alderaan deserved it.
Or, hell, she might not even know about Hosnian Prime.
>That's on a whole different level compared to "boohoo you guyz didn't tell me about your secrit klub". Not that she had any business knowing.
She was being promised the Fireball and the pilot's seat for the races, until some random Core World kid randomly cones along one day and Yeager lets him take it for secret joyrides.
Tyler Walker
It had some great scenery shots. The painted look for those has the potential to look a look better than what they can do with regular CG shows on a tv budget.
Camden Allen
Tam definitely doesn't know. They were too careful when grooming her but even convincing her that the First Order has better security and better food wouldn't let her shrug off mass murder on that scale.
Now that said, she's still a huge misstep as a character, as many of them are. I for one just don't give a shit about her, thus her plight doesn't really phase me. I don't care if they get her back or if she winds up as the new FO Red Baron or if they get her back and she's been mind wiped and programmed as a traitor.
Blake Cooper
>She was being promised the Fireball and the pilot's seat for the races
Oh, okay. For some reason I took away that she actually OWNED the Fireball, so I was confused by why she wasn't even MORE pissed off when Kaz took it out.
Henry Evans
What's the deal with the recruitment holo-posters the troopers were distributing, and the FOSB agent wooing Tam? I thought the First Order kidnapped children and trained them from the ground up, not recruiting adults (with Phasma being an exception due to Hux's desperate straits).
Luke Harris
I agree that she probably didn't know about Hosnian yet, but as I said, that's the kind of info that as soon as it's mentioned should make any sane person go "you lunatic fucks did what!?", yet they didn't have Kaz mention it for story convenience. As for her indignation about "this core kid who got to flew the jet", she should have gone "of, course, it all makes sense now", as soon as she was told that he's a resistance operative. That there was a reason why she wasn't told. All of this makes her look pretty bad and petty. And Kaz (writer induced) stupid in that instance.
Josiah Nguyen
>I for one just don't give a shit about her
I guess that makes two of us. That's kinda my problem with the series, as far as long term prospects go. None of the characters are particularly interesting to me. They're pleasant, but just that. Even Yeager struggles to project mystery. He's just a veteran. The one character in the whole show who managed to make me go "this man may have an interesting story to tell" was the station commander, who apparently was an officer in the Empire back in the day.
Luis Nguyen
Yeager at least feels like there's some interesting backstory worth exploring. Yeager has history in the Rebellion, used to fly a Y-Wing, was shitcanned by the New Republic when they downsized their military. There are parallels there, surely, which could be shared with Kaz. Instead they did the whole barely tolerate Kaz's presence routine that kept the two barely communicating because he wanted no part in the Resistance, apparently to keep Kaz largely alone and unsupported.
Daniel Brooks
I see in the way you showcased Yeager that there are points of interest about him. I guess my problem is that the show itself didn't really try all that hard to sell him to me in an interesting way (and most of the other characters even less so). Instead "here, have 5 more minutes of Neeku being obtuse". They should have let him be more hands on, or do some more mentoring instead of showing up for a minute in each episode yelling "get that space gizmo fixed asap!", unfortunately leading to more 'Kaz the shit mechanic' antics. Same as Tam never really went beyond being snarky and a co-worker with Kaz. So why should I feel sorry for her feelings of being left in the dark? I saw what they wanted to portray on an intellectual level, but they oftentimes failed to make me feel it. Kinda like George not being able to get a genuine performance out of his actors in SW Episodes 1-3. We knew what he was going for, but boy, the execution...
Ian Powell
The formula for the show feels screwed up. Rebels had comedic clumsiness with Ezra, but he was a kid. He got better but never fully grew out of it. Still Zeb and even Kanan could get in on the bonehead act. Even when the show lighthearted moments you could still have moments of drama, somberness, introspection. Even moments like Sabine finally breaking down emotionally while training with Kanan.
Resistance is way too silly way too much of the time. Good for little kids, I guess, but you end up with a very light, flimsy product overall. Why they felt they needed to make Kaz a helpless goofball when they already had Niko so far on the extreme he makes Yea Forums autism look like regular autism I have no clue. The other characters just don't have too much buildup. Not his coworkers and not the Aces. It felt really odd that a guy sporting heavy Imperial influence in his outfit and rig was shooting down TIE fighters and thanked Kaz for helping him out. Between him and the station commander we could be getting a more complex not white and black view of the galaxy and the conflict, especially post GCW. Best we got was for some reason people were extremely happy to see Stormtroopers for only thirty years passing since the Empire was stepping on the throats of innocent people and Tam talking about her dad used to work in an Imperial factory or some shit.
Jaxon Rodriguez
>what made Rebels work
Evan Sanders
In hindsight, the pacing came across like the showrunners or writers feeling too secure in getting another season. I would have liked if the aces had been more involved in station life, instead of being shut away in their special lounge almost 24/7. An introductory highlight on each of them, like the Rhodian got. I would have liked to have the ex-TIE pilot(?) or the icy blonde get to display some personality outside of the cockpit. Their lack of on-screen presence is a bit of a letdown, considering how the racing was pitched as a major part of the show setup. It would have certainly been preferable to the sea monster episode, which made me fear for a moment they'd go for another space whale resolution, akin to Rebels.

It's the Sun Crusher. When Doza abandoned the Empire he took the super weapon with him to hide it and end the mass slaughter of innocent beings. That's why the FO wants it so badly but they're afraid to take it by force less it be destroyed - or used against them.
Caleb Fisher

The truth of the BDZ of Chopper Base was that they simply didn't have anywhere near the budget to show any real devastation so they just ran with it. I wish they'd not been quite so straightforward with the shots around Kanan, though.

Colton Parker
I just wish they would retire Star Wars for about 5-10 years in which during that time they can really plan out what they want to do. The sequel trilogy was a mistake
Logan Clark
Gotta finish what they started. Gotta know how deep this rabbit hole goes.
Carter Brooks
They absolute have the budget, it's just that the Bombardment of Chopper Base was not a BDZ or anything that was supposed to do real damage. Thrawn was just using it as a power move and, more specifically, as a way to weaken any ground defenses they had on the planet to make a ground assault easier. Which we saw as it nearly overloaded the shield and basically took it out of commission.
Also, canonically travelling through an atmosphere weakens turbolaser shots, which explains why they weren't doing as much damage as they could have been. The shots around Kanan were a little weird, sure, but it's nothing to really gripe over.
In the series finale we saw a taste of a proper bombardment when Thrawn ordered a short bombardment and easily was causing major damage to Lothal City. And if they hadn't got the shield up and running, the full-scale bombardment would have easily destroyed the city in minutes.
Brayden Scott
Blowing their budget on the series finale is different from a season finale. Also you should have noticed that season 4 was much shorter. 16 episodes whereas the previous two seasons had 22.
You'll also note that that didn't change the terrain, whereas Chopper Base was surrounded by giant plant things. A successive bombardment would have done a lot more damage to those as well as, yes, reshaping the terrain. Something your image doesn't show.
Dominic Jackson
>Blowing their budget on the series finale is different from a season finale.
They didn't just "blow it all in the finale". Unless they also blew it multiple times throughout Season 4.
> Also you should have noticed that season 4 was much shorter. 16 episodes whereas the previous two seasons had 22.
That's because they only needed 16 episodes to tell the remainder of the story. Filoni simply didn't want more episodes.
>You'll also note that that didn't change the terrain, whereas Chopper Base was surrounded by giant plant things. A successive bombardment would have done a lot more damage to those as well as, yes, reshaping the terrain. Something your image doesn't show.
Again, canonically turbolasers weaken when traveling through the atmosphere, so orbital bombardments are less effective than in-orbit ones. Thrawn was not intending to glass Chopper Base, he was just weakening their shield and destroying any ground defenses they might have.
Also, there's nothing saying turbolasers would reshape terrain at all. However, they did cause a decent amount of damage to the city in a short time.
Dylan Rodriguez
Anthony Rogers
Kevin Flores
Bullshit. You think he'd just turn down the budget for six more episodes or even a fraction of that so he could pimp out the last episode? And again the damage you showed in one image hardly equates what three Star Destroyers could have done to the entire area around Chopper Base. Your big proof is turbolasers blow up buildings? No shit, Sherlock, that's why shields were important on both Atollon, Lothal, and elsewhere.
It's like you're somehow unaware that they rarely ever had the budget for simple things like robes. If they can't afford flowing garments, user, they sure as fuck aren't springing for the damage a true BDZ would cause UNLESS they had the budget and an excuse for it. They wanted to show the damage to Lothal and they had six less episodes to produce. Fuck yes they went all out for once.
And just because this somehow blew past you, reshaping the terrain means craters. Means those coral structures around Chopper Base are shattered.

>Bullshit. You think he'd just turn down the budget for six more episodes or even a fraction of that so he could pimp out the last episode?
He absolutely would. Filoni cares about the story more than anything. He felt he only needed 16 episodes to tell the rest of Rebels story.
>And again the damage you showed in one image hardly equates what three Star Destroyers could have done to the entire area around Chopper Base.
These are all from the short "here's a taste of what will happen if you don't surrender immediately" bombardment of Lothal in Season 4. The Bombardment of Atollon was different in that there were more Star Destroyers, it was from orbit which means its weaker, and it was primarily concentrated on Chopper Base's shield generator.
>It's like you're somehow unaware that they rarely ever had the budget for simple things like robes. If they can't afford flowing garments, user, they sure as fuck aren't springing for the damage a true BDZ would cause UNLESS they had the budget and an excuse for it. They wanted to show the damage to Lothal and they had six less episodes to produce. Fuck yes they went all out for once.
It's like you're somehow unaware that they only were unable to do robes 24/7, but could easily do them a few times per season and still have plenty of budget left over. It's not like it's an issue anyway considering robes were mostly out-of-fashion by the time of the OT.
>Means those coral structures around Chopper Base are shattered.
Sure, if the Star Destroyers were all in-atmosphere and Thrawn was intending/permitted to just glass Atollon and be done with it, then those coral structures would be shattered.
However, the bombardment was from orbit AND Thrawn was ordered to take prisoners so the bombardment was just focused on depleting the hell out of their shield and making it easy to do a ground assault.
Not gonna even dignify you with a proper response.

>Filoni cares about the story more than anything.
And if he could fold that budget into making the last season more impressive you somehow thing he'd go, "Nah, Disney can use that money for something more important, like buying Iger something really nice for his Life Day." Seriously, where do you get your delusions, laser brain?
>Not gonna even dignify you with a proper response.
Doubt you could manage it if you tried. Your attempts thus far have been less than impressive. Newsflash, debris is easy on the budget. It's just random bits and you don't even need fancy new textures for it. I mean it's a rock, stupid.
Now THIS on the other hand barely merits a response:
>It's like you're somehow unaware that they only were unable to do robes 24/7, but could easily do them a few times per season and still have plenty of budget left over. It's not like it's an issue anyway considering robes were mostly out-of-fashion by the time of the OT.
Yeah, because somehow you're unable to figure out that if robes are too expensive most of the time then major damage on a planetary scale is somehow easy peasy? Whatever you are smoking we should all be so lucky to try some.

Ask yourself, if they could always do stuff like this on their regular per episode budget, why didn't they? There's an obvious disconnect here despite all the excuses you're making. Why bother with the ships out of atmosphere? If they want to take prisoners Thrawn can still call off the bombardment of the shield, but that doesn't excuse the surrounding unshielded area left smoking slightly.
Just from watching the episode I'd say far more went into the destruction of the Imperial TIE Defender Factory than went into damaging the city.
