I am so disappointed in myself for not catching this reference sooner.

I think the fact that my old ass has to watch these shows with captions on helped me catch it faster.

And to the Silvo theme.

He’s also called Crimson Jack by Maeby Owl.

Which leads to speculation if it’s an Easter egg for a comic scoundrel from years ago or is it a “mantle” like the Dread Pirate Roberts

Who was the actress playing the host / guide on the planet?  

Julie Ann Emery. She was in Better Call Saul

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.

Kelly Macdonald was unmistakable heh.


This show is so good… half the episode is goonies and Peter Pan and treasure island and Jod being a hero-type.

And then he finds his answers and the mood got real… real quick.

Take notes Leslye Headland.

Great episode. Robert Newton is somewhere smiling.

Jude Law is a 10 out of 10 casting. Best Star Wars scoundrel since Han and Lando, and it’s not close. 

Spoiler

Also, Holy Shit on the final scene.

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.

This is just a fun show. Jude Law is perfect, and the kids are holding their own. Not too deep and just rolling along wanting me to see the next episode. 

Finally, Disney gets it right again

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.

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]

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.

Just started watching this last night with the kids, whole family is really loving it.  We got to episode 4, will likely finish the rest tonight.

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

They might be part of the Mando and Grogu movie that's shooting now or at least some characters from this show are rumors to be in the movie as well.

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.

Seems so. The owl lady even said something when Wim listed off that the knew coruscant and alderaan. “Missed the war?”

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.

He did say graduation.  And yeah, I think what Wim's dad said he would "learn" is still wildly outdated.

This is the type of show I expected Disney to make originally.  Something kids could also identify with and get into.   

Doesn't hurt that these kids can act circles around most of the cast of the Acolyte.

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
