So thinking about Resistance. I have all the faith in the world in Filoni. He basically repaired the Clone Wars storyline, and he in my mind fixed the Empire with his two series.
He made Vader just outright deadly in a few short appearances and made us understand that he was not the conflicted Vader that we saw in the movies.
He made the Empire more deadly and competent in the last couple of years of the series.
To me, he's got a big job ahead of him.
He has to find a way to make the first order a threat, because they're basically terrible at their job in the movies. Their leaders are also not really all that daunting.
Snoke - Doofus, cut in half
Hux - Incompetent leader who's hated by his own guys
Kylo Ren - Terrible military commander and petulant teenager
Phasma - Terrible.
The first order loses Star Killer Base, and then see's their military strength pretty much crushed by the destruction of their capital city ship and most of the fleet.
On the other side, I think that they really have to reform Poe a bit because he hovers between Competent, incompetent and at times unlikeable.
I would assume that we won't see Rey in this series, and I would hope that they would keep Leia and Hans and Luke's involvement to a minimum.
But they really have to make the First Order deadly and far more competent that it has been.
They should certainly focus on the split between the Resistance and the New Republic and how that came to be.
I would like to see them do what they did in Rebels and make Snoke this menace that doesn't show up until the end.
I would think that we're going to see Grand Admiral Sloan and Hux.
I would assume at some point we'll meet a young Ben Solo and his conflict with his family and Han leaving.
