join the resistance

‘Star Wars Resistance’: Dave Filoni’s ‘Rebels’ Follow-Up is an Anime-Style Series Set Before ‘The Force Awakens’ – slashfilm.com

“The idea for Star Wars Resistance came out of my interest in World War II aircraft and fighter pilots,” Filoni. “My grandfather was a pilot and my uncle flew and restored planes, so that’s been a big influence on me. There’s a long history of high-speed racing in Star Wars, and I think we’ve captured that sense of excitement in an anime-inspired style, which is something the entire team has been wanting to do for a long time.”

Ich habe gehofft das wir eine Fortsetzung von Rebels bekommen, nachdem wir ja Hera und Kaleb’s Sohn Jacen sowie Sabine und Ashoka’s Suche nach Ezra präsentiert bekommen haben hätte ich gedacht das wir den dreien folgen.
Aber bei Rebels war ich auch zu Beginn skeptisch und wurde nicht enttäuscht. Filoni und seine Leute wissen schon was sie tun und wie sie Enthusiasten bei Laune halten.

Spät aber doch

Pixar’s The Incredibles ist meiner Meinung nach einer ihrer besten Filme[1]. Brad Bird’s wiederkehrendes “der Durchschnitt hält die Talentierten zurück” Motiv hat ihn mir zwar im Lauf der Zeit weniger schmackhaft gemacht; nichts desto trotz freue ich mich schon auf die Fortsetzung.
Hier der Teaser dazu:

trailer: Never Ending Man

Hayao Miyazaki seems to have worked through his retirement shock with coming out of retirement. After watching The Kingdom Of Dreams And Madness last year which showed a titan of his craft finishing the famous last job to go out with a bang it’ll be interesting to see him rediscovering what he mastered with different tools.

the balance

Yesterday we got the trailer for Episode VIII, now we get another Star Wars related trailer; for the fourth season of Rebels to be exact.
Things are coming to a close for the crew of the Ghost, but will the Spectres be exorcised or continue to haunt the Empire’s house? What sounds strange is the „focus“ on Sabine, which is a great character but never felt like the broken girl she has been adressed as in the trailer.
But it could also just been used to further the drama. Anyways, i’m looking forward to see season four; and it seems i’m one of the few people who is ok with the fillers in season three.
