Skeleton Crew (Star Wars Disney+ show)

You know why this show is great? Not everyone is just instantly great at everything they do. The kids are allowed to not be great at everything instantly like in Goonies or ET. Wim summoning up the courage to grab the lightsaber to try to save Fern but igniting it upside down was great. Also enjoyed the Goonies-type trap door on the food table. Reminded me of the organ scene.  

Jod also recites the line Qui-Gon says to Anakin when he's advising him before the pod race. Let your focus determine your reality. So yes, he's probably a former padawan who hid after Order 66.

Fun episode. Not as good as the previous one but still fun. 27 minutes though, WTF? They could've ran this one with the last one and had one super sized episode. The kids are doing a great job with this. The exoskeleton ship was a cool idea.

Weakest episode so far?  Still loving the show.

I also think it was the weakest in terms of plot, but the kids bonding was wholesome and great.  Too short though of an episode. 

Still also loving this show. 

Neel whining about not having long legs was adorable.

Not to get deep with it, but Fern helping Neel and not making fun of him for being different was touching and a good lesson for all of us. 
 

While I think some of the Neel cuteness can be on the nose, we all had a friend like him growing up. No athletic ability, but extremely loyal and a good friend.

And if you didn’t have that friend…you were that friend.

Now that's a cliffhanger 

Kinda lost all hope that capn jod might turn out to have a soft spot. 
 

I love the Star Wars pirate music. 
 

Was that the father / son / daughter in the background of the office the parents were taken to?

Yes, a great cliffhanger. Will be interesting to see how the kids outsmart Jod. I stand by my assertion that the Supervisor is AI. I base this on the sequence where the ship returned and everyone was dismissed for the day. Seemed like an automatic response to the Republic emissary signal on the ship and not something a person would do. I don't think we've seen the last of 33.

Most episodes of all these Star Wars Disney+ series seem to be about 10 minutes too short. We wait two years for the next installment, and get 6-8 short episodes. [exception IMO is Andor and a few Mandalorian episodes]

Can’t be shooting years apart when most of the cast are kids.

I'm sure these are dumb questions, but what timeframe are we looking at here? Post ROTJ right? Also are the citizens of At Attin clueless as to what had happened in the previous 30 years? 

 

My guess is that Silvo takes them and their parents back to the frigate while KB slips away and fixes 33 somehow. Mayhem ensues, kids escape while parents are held hostage.

The dad clued us and Wim in a bit last night when he said Wim would've learned all this after he reached the administrator level. I'm assuming only people in the higher levels of this society know what's really happened beyond the barrier. The rest may think the Old Republic still stands.

I believe he said graduation. My guess is that nobody on that planet knows - hence why they're still minting old republic gold. They were just forgotten about and kept going about their business. When the Onyx Cinder showed up that was probably the first offloading ship they'd seen in 30 years. It definitely seemed like everyone was shocked to see it arrive.

But also that the adults can relate and enjoy 

Except it was routinely mocked because it's "too kiddy" and "not made for me" 

Because SW fans don't give anything a chance without immediately crapping all over it. 

It's the best thing we've gotten since Mando season 1
