This is from issue two of Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku - Insurgency Rising. I thought most people forgot about Resistance.

If not as romantic partners, but as friends. I think their dynamic would be so cool and interesting!

-Rey grew up in poverty whereas Kaz grew up wealthy

-Rey grew up on a barren, backwater planet whereas Kaz grew up in an urban megalopolis

-Rey is quiet and graceful whereas Kaz is loud and clumsy

-Rey believed in the Force her entire life and is Force sensitive whereas Kaz doesn't and isn't

-Rey is good at what she does whereas Kaz isn't

-Both "borrow" BB-8

-Poe was the catalyst for both their callings (Kaz as a Resistance spy, Rey as a Jedi)

-Both their parents are evil (well, Rey's grandfather is and Kaz's dad is implied to be evil)

-Both are pilots

-Both are impulsive and arrogant at times

-Both are really good at hiding their emotions (For the most part)

let me just start by saying, I haven't finished Resistance. On several occasions I have started watching but failed to finish even one season. I don't want to say the show is bad, so I'll say it's not my taste.

However, I really root for this show in concept. I didn't love the execution of the Sequel Trilogy movies, but I want to like the time period they exist in. For example, many people did not like the Prequel movies, but grew to love the time period because of the Clone Wars, the Bad Batch, the various comic series, the videogames like Battlefront and Republic Commandos. These secondary materials got people interested and showed them parts of the SW galaxy they previously disgarded due to their disliking of episodes I, II, and III. I won't say that I disliked the sequels as badly as some people disliked the prequels, but I want this universe to be explored more. Resistance had (has) a chance of really telling an interesting story, roping people into this era. Getting people to love Poe Dameron and the Resistance, exploring the politics of the First Order. So I would love to see this show get a refresh.

Here are some suggestions I would want Disney / Filoni to take with this series

• Make a new spin off season. In the same art style and with the same vibe, make a season take place say, ten years piror to Resistance season 1. This would allow you to capture some of the older characters when they were younger.

• Make an anthology series. Similar to tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire, make Tales of Resistance. A micro series about 6 episodes long, featuring Captain Phasma, One of the Pirates from Resistance, and Leia Organa. Don't pull your punches in terms of matuiry. Give us a really emotional serious set of stories that make these characters feel real.

• Make A third season. This is the most important one to get right. It needs to have the ceremony and importance as "The Clone Wars Returns." this may be a controversial choice, but season 3 should have a different tone. I know being aged lower is a key element of Resistance, and I don't want to remove all of the kid friendly parts, but I think in order to tell a more developed story it needs to grow up just a little. Think about Avatar the Last Airbender, whose third book was much more serious than the two before it. It made sense, as the characters in that show were maturing through the difficulties of war. Kazuya is already fighting a war in resistance, so maybe the third season can take him even further. Put him on a more stoic path that kids or teens can relate to. Maybe show how the Battle of Crait affected the lower ranking Resistance pilots, how it shook their world. I would like (as naturally as possible) for more film characters to be introduced to the show. Definitely Finn and Rose, possibly show Admiral Pryde grow in power too. Just make the series feel more incorporated into the ST universe.

• Have fun with this time period! Don't just make Resistance content in order to raise profits. Do it out of love of the genre. Get into that Clone Wars headspace of good writing and character growth.

• Run with the ball. I mentioned it earlier, but Rise of Skywalker specifically made a lot of... mistakes. Maybe that is subjective, but to me it feels like Palpatine, the Knights of Ren, and the Eternal Empire were rushed and misused. I think any Resistance content made post-ROS should embrace these failings though. Don't pretend they didn't happen or try to retcon them. Make them work. make it coherrent (to the best of any human's ability.) Don't leave these ideas in the mud because they didn't work out one time. Rise of Skywalker aslo had some really great plot elemnts. The Stormtrooper revolution was something hinted at but never developed. Maybe show that happening in Resistance season 3. The Emperor having a secret order of assassins and genetic creations was jarring and unexpected, but maybe we could see more of that in Resistance. Maybe Tam and Jarek run into a Sith Cultist gathering and try to catch one of the assassins before he ultimately vanishes. That would be something cool, and I would be proud of the crew for embracing the Sequel Trilogy head on.

That's it, that's my post. I know it's long and contradictory. You very well might not agree with me on any topic, but I hope you see where I'm coming from. I love this story that Star Wars continues to tell, and any way of elevating it would be amazing. #RenewResistance

His options would be Torra, Tam, and Synara. I know a lot of people like him with Torra, but...Torra is 16 and Kaz is 21. Unless they can't find anyone in four years, I don't see it happening. Also unless you become an adult at 16 in the Star Wars Universe. XD Plus, they are too similar imo.

I feel like Synara and Kaz balance each other out. They seem to bring out the best in each other (and Kaz and Tam bring out the worst in each other).

Hey guys! I was perusing through Substack when I stumbled upon this article about Resistance. I don't see many people talking about it so I checked it out. Looks like this person is analyzing the characters victories and short comings and giving them a score based on their actions. Seems like they do it for other characters too but here is the one on Resistance. I found it very interesting. Its a quick read, https://open.substack.com/pub/featsnfaults/p/fnf-star-wars-resistance?r=14ob59&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Do you think Tamara Ryvora looks too cute to be evil?

This one is pretty good! I love the anime-esque style, and the characters are so strong! At times the hard lighting was distracting, and with only two seasons I’m a little bummed the story takes its time, but all in all this is a great series. I really think if it had been given more freedom and time it could’ve earned that TCW/Rebels level of respect in the broader fandom. It took me years to not be the only person I knew who loved Rebels, so maybe this one will get some love and a #ResistanceSaved final season!?

If nothing else, I really hope we see more from these characters. I’d love to see a live action series pull off what Ahsoka did for rebels, but with these characters.

I am like 10 episodes in and hoped for at least some insights into the First Order and state of the Galaxy in general.

So far nothing really relevant came up. Are there some cool additions to the lore in here? If yes, which episodes do contain them?

Idk why I never got around to it before, but I’ve just finished S1E1 and I’m down. I’m a Rebels fan since day 1, so there was no reason not to jump to Resistance.

I’ve been watching the timeline in order from the early tales of the Jedi episodes . It’s been quite a journey to get here.

Great ending. Glad I did not listen to all the nay-sayers. I wonder how many of them gave up after one episode. So tired of hearing it's a kid's show. I was a kid when Star Wars first came out, I guess I haven't forgotten what it's like to be a kid.

I didn't mind the sequel trilogy, but I was lost who the first order was when I first saw it. Resistance has helped a lot with explaining the first order.

Just bought a Fireball for Star Wars X-wing and now trying to make some rules to run a race.

Funny though, if you put the Fireball's sunlight engines in a ship with the Millennium Falcon's hyperdrive, your chance of going anywhere has to be the worst of any ship around.

Looking forward to season 2 but a bit sad knowing there isn't a season 3

Do you kind of wish Venisa Doza was used more frequently? She's an awesome mom.

For how bad people talk about it, I thought it was going to be inconsistent and filled with plot holes... but it was just a low scale fun little show.

Yes, Resistance is definitely the weakest of the animated shows, but I really don't think that makes it bad. I mean, most of the complains I've seen of this show are because of the "filler" (I swear, if Clone Wars released today people would hate it) and because it's a kid show.

I knew what to expect since chapter one (light random space adventures) and that's preciesly what I got. I really liked the cell shaded animation and the characters were alright (CB is better than BB, fight me). If disney announced a third season (which I know is never happening) I would watch it.

Do you wish or kind of wish Aunt Z acted like an aunt to Torra Doza?

Kaz did say "My parents! My...home..." when he saw the destruction of the Hosnian System, and in the next episode he said "Everything's gone. My parents, my friends.". But in the next episode, he asks his father if the rest of the family made it, which implies they have more family.

My headcanon is that they both have at least one sibling (and Kaz has at least one cousin).

In the premiere, Kaz told Poe his father "has this whole plan for me." What was it? Usually "plans" rich fathers have for their sons were to take over the family business. Was Hamato's plan for Kaz to become Senator by 25, married by 30, kids by 35?

Or is it something more sinister like manipulating Kaz into surrendering to the First Order and convincing the rest of the Navy to surrender?

!You know, given that Tomato- I MEAN Hamato is an opportunist and a bit of a coward who only looks after himself, I wonder if his family really was put in direct danger of the First Order, he'd give Kaz up in order to save himself and the rest of their family.!<

!Hopefully, the rest of Kaz's family would object to that. I mean, come on- Kaz isn't that bad! Surely someone in his family likes him!!<

I’m curious to what other people outside of my circle though about Resistance. TBH, I watched every single episode as it was airing and felt like it didn’t really add to the universe in any significant way and I couldn’t really relate to the main characters. This was a stark contrast from Clone Wars and Rebels which IMO some of the best Star Wars if not THE best for the time. Though, I didn’t come here to talk bad about Resistance but I do want to know your thoughts are on the show. Especially now that >!kaz’s dad is in Ahsoka!<.

Honestly, what did you like about the show and also what did you not like about it?

I liked the animation style, some of the races were cool but I didn’t like how so much of the show was on that base. I also didn’t like how goofy Kaz was but how skilled he was as a pilot, it seemed to be unbelievable. His best friend was also kind of annoying in the way he talked (I forgot his name). Little to no force users which isn’t a must because Rogue One and Andor are my favorite live action rivaling ESB but the former had much more compelling plot themes and were geared for adults. Though, I watched Resistance in my late 20s so maybe I just wasn’t the demographic. That said, I would assume that the target audience would be that of Clone Wars and Rebels fans or else they would make it something like the High Republic show which is clearly for kids.

I did like the episode where they went to the ancient temple and was hoping we have gotten more of that. I really wanted to like it but just felt like a flop compared to Clone Wars and Rebels at the time but now also Bad Batch and Visions. It was probably my least favorite bit of canon Star Wars.

Do you dislike the CGI animation that was used for Star Wars: Resistance? Do you think the CGI animation should've been similar to The Clone Wars or Rebels' CGI animation?

I mean, not an episode of Resistance goes by when he is not made fun of, insulted, or dismissed as an idiot. I have a feeling it's been like that his whole life. Like dude gets no respect even if he pulls off heroic feats.

Oh, sure, he's glared at people who offended him and maybe even snapped at them, but through it all, he doesn't completely snap and turn to the dark side and betray everyone out of resentment and anger. Actually, I wouldn't mind reading a fanfic where he does snap and go to the dark side due to mistreatment.

Are there any perfectly good characters that went to waste in Star Wars: Rebels?
