Today saw Disney release the first trailer for the new Star Wars Resistance animated series, but once again, a lot of fans arenât happy.
Currently on Disneyâs YouTube channel, the Star Wars Resistance trailer has more dislikes to likes, with over 4k thumbs down to 3.3k thumbs up.
âAnd I thought, rebels was for kidsâŠâ one YouTuber responded in the comments, which has near 300 likes of its own.
âWhy is the animation always so crappy for the Star Wars animated series???ï»żÂ â another fan remarks.
âThis is how you know Disney canât make a good Star Wars show that appeals to all audience ages like thereâs more dislikes than likes,â a third YouTuber commented.
Star Wars Resistance
Hitting up Reddit sees similar comments.
âItâll have to grow on me. Not a big fan of the voice acting on the main character, way too childish. Also seems to slapstick for Star Wars? I donât know,â a Redditor posted.
A Redditor does mention the show is aimed at young kids, with some commenting it could simply be a bad trailer.
âThis did nothing for me, specially the animation style. Iâll still watch it for a few episodes since Rebels also took a while to be good, but so far Iâm not impressed,â a Redditor said.
âReally poor trailer, but I donât think it will necessarily be a bad show,â another Redditor added.
Check out Twitter, the jokes are already pouring in that Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson is involved.Â

Some other reactions:
Not a fan of the animation of Star Wars Resistance at all, especially the models used for the faces, looks cheap and unfinished. I was really hoping this show would be more of a traditional 2D animation style, but instead it looks like a ugly mix of 3D and 2D, which looks bad imo

The new Star Wars Resistance trailer isnât convincing me that itâs something Iâd be interested in. Obviously aimed directly at kids. Canât see any continuity from Clone Wars, Rebels or the Original Trilogy. I wonder how long this will last before fans abandon it just like Soylo.

The most surprising part of watching the new #StarWars trailer for RESISTANCE is how viscerally angry I still am at Poe. I know this is a prequel but I was like âYOU BELONG IN THE BRIG YOU OVERGROWN CHILDâ

I can already picture the G+G video about Resistance.
1. Forced Diversity
2. Cheap Animation
3. Focusing on characters nobody cares about.
4. Lack of promotion means theyâre hiding something.
5. Kathleen Kennedy killed Star Wars.Mark my words.

#StarWarsResistance I am one of those weird people who likes all Star Wars content, so I will be watching resistance. I liked the Lego stuff aimed at kids, so I will give it a go. More Star Wars is okay in my book. Great time to be a fan, despite all the harsh critics. MTFBWY.

Lol @ the fans bitching about SW Resistance being aimed at a younger audience. Thatâs right, kids like Star Wars and appreciate it more than you do.

I see #StarWars has once again committed to their bit of forcing me to look past their animation style to find the amazing narratives underneath with RESISTANCE.
