It may be bright, sparky, vivid and outwardly focused at kids, but Star Wars Resistance executive producer Justin Ridge, speaking with Cinemablend, wanted to make it very clear that the animated show, renewed for a second season this week, is for more than the pre-teen brigade.

It’s exciting, to tell you the truth. I think the show is fun because we’re kind of giving a little more of a lighthearted tone. Because I think we definitely want younger audiences to really be into the show, but we definitely don’t want to exclude the older fans. We want to stay true to Star Wars and what has come before us. So even though it’s lighter in tone and has a little more comedy, we definitely have a lot in store that I think older fans are really going to enjoy.
