Season 2 trailer, so probably time for a new thread

Two seasons of Resistance only? I guess the events of Rise of Skywalker might change things a lot.
 
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised they're ending it at only 2 seasons. I'm not sure, but I suspect if the plan all along was to finish it before Episode IX, they'd have possibly mentioned it much sooner. So I'm left wondering if maybe Disney pulled the plug due to poor ratings and/or merchandise sales? But that doesn't make sense, since assuming this season's arc is ending in a proper finale that decision would have been made a year or so ago before those numbers would even be in.

Perhaps this was always meant as a kind of stop-gap project while whatever else they have in the pipeline is being worked on?
 
That trailer needed more Torra.
Cool trailer though. It looks sufficiently different from season 1. It doesn't feel like more of the same.

Disney+ says hello.

And while obviously Disney has other channels too, and they can't put everything on Disney+, I have a feeling the next new animated SW series after Resistance and Clone Wars will be on D+.

That hardly precludes them from simply moving the show to D+.

This news is, indeed, somewhat surprising. And, though other factors could be in play, it's hardly a ringing endorsement for the popularity of the ST era, especially with the next two SW projects that we know about being set either immediately after the OT or shortly before it...

Well, one presumes at the very least it'll bring an end to the conflict with the First Order which the whole show is predicated on, so it always felt inevitable that Episode IX would be the logical cut-off point.

And while obviously Disney has other channels too, and they can't put everything on Disney+, I have a feeling the next new animated SW series after Resistance and Clone Wars will be on D+.

I did wonder about that, though that would suggest Disney couldn't simply move the show from it's current home to Disney+ for season 3 onwards, or at the very least give D+ the premier with the traditional TV channels a month or three behind.

From what Pablo just tweeted about season 2 beginning production as early as 2 years ago, the notion of it being cut short is 100% out. Which all points to the show being designed to be two seasons long from the get-go.

Maybe the plan is to rebrand, or spin the show off somehow after the second season? Though a post Episode IX story so soon feels a little unlikely. I guess I'm still somewhat disappointed that the racing team angle wasn't as prominent a feature as the early material made it appear and kinda wish they could do a show like that in peacetime...but that seems extremely unlikely.

It did always seem a little strange to me that the show was set so close to the events of the ST. I mean they could have just as easily told the same story but set a few years earlier, in the very early days of the Resistance and spun it out over four or five seasons. That they're choosing to end it around the same time as EpIX does make it seem as though they want to be pretty much done with that era all at once.

Here's hoping the next animated project has a little more latitude, like say, something of the Old Republicly persuasion.

Given that the next movies are likely to tread that ground, a better hope might be for an honest to goodness OT-era show, starring Luke, Leia, Han, Wedge, etc. Shadows of the Empire, anyone? :p

Already know the ending. Not interested...




;)
 
Do we know if it will be the same number of episodes as last season?

So we'd get half the season before TROS and then half of it after the movie?

If half the season is aired after the movie is released, then it seems like the show would have to reflect that.
