Filling out the stories Andi and Anthony mentioned, Bryan Young of Syfy.com wrote about Resistance’s big win at the Saturn Awards:
In 1973, the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror films began handing out Saturn Awards as a response to the perception that mainstream awards were turning their backs on genre works. They’ve become a yearly tradition, and as you might figure, the Saturn Awards have a long history with Star Wars. In fact, their first televised awards ceremony in 1978 was only possible because of the unprecedented success of Star Wars and that ceremony was hosted by William Shatner and Karen Black.
Star Wars continues to do well at the Saturn Awards, as evidenced by its win this week for Best Animated Television Series. Star Wars Resistance beat out Archer, Duck Tales, Family Guy, and The Simpsons to take home the trophy.
Here’s Ashley Eckstein, the voice of Ahsoka Tano, announcing the award:
