Ever since the mouse took over SW I've felt that the new expanding cannon has been something of a double edged sword for FFG. It provides lots of new stuff for there games and ongoing free hype for SW products. But they are often playing catch up, or working to deadlines from outside with incomplete info. If Rebels is any indicator there might not be any Resistance content for X-Wing or the other FFG table top games until seasons two or three.
It also depends on what FFG feels like making at the time as well.

Well, of course it's a marketing tool. That's what Disney serial cartoons are. It's what they always have been.
Doesn't mean it won't be good.
Well, yeah, but Rebels wasn't exactly marketing anything about the original trilogy, it was telling a story set in a period that wasn't really fleshed out in a serial fashion by the EU.
I would be afraid a series set in the pre-Force Awakens trilogy would be at risk of being Rebels 2.0, unless the writers get pretty adventurous, which would be great.
But then again I am probably showing my bitterness of watching episode 7 make most of the adventures and accomplishments of the original trilogy characters not matter.
"By this point I'm convinced 100% that every single race in the 40k universe have somehow tapped into the ork ability to just have their tech work because they think it should."
Filoni managed that with both animated series so far. He even managed to tie up several Clone Wars threads in Rebels.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of the concept art and that for Resistance. I liked Clone Wars, absolutely LOVED Rebels, so I've got decent expectations for this.

I don't think it's worse per se. It's certainly a different style, but then it seems to be a whole shift tonally from the Clone Wars/Rebels thing.
Frankly, it looks like a SW Lego show with anime visuals from that trailer, but we'll see.
At least we have new Clone Wars to fall back on if this sucks.

Great for X-Wing players though- those ship designs are looking great!

Not really liking the jive of the main character so far and the humour they're edging towards. The more important aspect is how they'll be incorporating the First Order, which I always felt should have been more of a terrorist paramilitary organization rather than the galactic presence it became given that the Empire remnant still existed as a rump state.
Looks like it centres round some sort of race. Didn't Droids do that 30+ years ago?
I can't get excited for this, but I probably will give it a watch.
“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”
Still looking forward to this. The animation style is a departure from what has come before, but it looks smooth and well done. As for the tone of the trailer? I think it fits. The Empire is beaten, the galaxy is enjoying a time of relative peace and the main protagonist is racing ships over an ocean world. So given the setting in the timeline and its physical location, a initially more upbeat narrative and bright colour palate do IMO fit.

Awful lot of conclusions being drawn based on that?
That's sort of what trailers are for...
No. Trailers are not meant to tell you much of anything. Trailers are for getting the target audience excited. This is a cartoon on the disney channel. Bright colors. Child show humor. Neat space ships. BB8. Fast flying and a little bit of action. Silly insaniak, this trailers for kids!

I'm not a huge fan of the animation style, but I seem to remember the show Ironman Armored Adventures that was around a couple of years ago that looked kind of like that? This just looks like a slightly softer style. If the story is there I could overlook the animation.

I hated Transformers Primes animation and art style at first. And now it's the Transformaers show I swear by. All depends on how well it's done.

I think its important to note that every sw cartoon since clone wars has grown up with its audience. Clone wars and rebels both start very kid friendly. But by s3 s4 the theme get real heavy and dark. Expect the same.
This will start with the intent of bringing in a new batch of 10 year olds and 4-5 years from now will be more mature and aimed a bit higher at that 14-15 year old age group.
