Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

It hints at a few planets used in the past, but we have never heard the name “At Attin” before.

One theory is that it is the same planet that Luke was hiding out on in the sequels and the same planet that Plageius and Qimir were hiding out on in Acolyte.

That could make a lot of sense since it is "hidden."

If these 3 planets are in fact the same planet, the theory is that it was the site of one of the original Sith temples.

Oh, that could be!

The Alderaan comment is absolutely a timeframe marker. And the X-wings being used as governmental ships as well (I didn’t notice a marking, but THAT isn’t super important, actually).

What is the exact timing for Mando? It takes place just a few years after RotJ, I believe. Luke is still young-ish and is just beginning to establish his academy (Grogu is his first student). But during that time, the New Republic has already converted the galactic “police” vehicles from Ties to X-Wings.

Mando S1 is the same time period as this.

this weeks episode was the weakest of the 4 episodes so far... the whole time i was expecting a planet of the apes type of twist where this was their planet...

but i am liking this show... it feels like a 1980s/90s kids adventure movie...

Running into a couple 12 year old “warriors” really slapped me in the face that this is a kids show, but once I got beyond that, the ep was OK.

I really like this show, for what it is. And at its heart, SW should be a kids show. So this is a pretty seriously good show.

yea... i like that it is a kid show... and elephant boy is full of cheese... although, i am pretty sure he is my least favourite character...

The main girl is WAY too bitchy. And the main boy is WAY too stupid. The second girl is too “perfect”. And the elephant boy is the prototypical sidekick.

Really enjoying this show but I think what I like most about it is all the aliens. For as good as it is, that's something completely missing from Andor. Seeing all these weird aliens makes the universe seem huge and filled with endless possibilities.

although I am enjoying this show... I am disappointed that none of the kids seem to have evolved from where they were from the beginning...

what's the point of having a kids adventure story if everything just remains status quo...

The bitch kinda likes the other kids now.
the robot has flaws.
the elephant is more brave
the idiot is still an idiot.

I guess... if you want to say they evolved, each have a small aspect...

like you said...

you probably nailed 3 of them...

but the idiot, he now knows his actions affect other people...

but back to my point... these evolutions, are so minor...

I wasn’t disagreeing.

This show is OK. It is certainly better than The Acolyte. But it is getting horrible ratings.

Disney needs to figure this shit out FAST

this is what happens with shows that are tied into a franchise... they have to do enough to keep the identity of the franchise...

I loved the idea of this show... especially in the beginning... but they never went full on 80s adventure movie...

It is very Goonies-ish. It just doesn’t have the charm of Goonies. It is also very much geared towards kids (pre-teen), so I try to keep my complaints and criticisms of it in check because of that.

Hard to top this.

If they made elephant boy more like Chunk, maybe I would like this show more.

I haven’t watched based mostly on what I’ve read you guys say about it, seems like something I’d watch with my daughter when she’s a bit older.

Star Wars is one of my favorite franchises but it has fallen a bit flat as of late, I did like most of The Mandalorian and Andor but the rest has been pretty meh.

This show is OK. It is what it is (a kids show). It certainly is a product of the times (the bitch is insufferable), but there are some interesting world building aspects going on in the periphery (the existence of “hidden” planets; going deeper into pirate culture; who, exactly, is the Jude Law character?)
