Anyone watching without subtitles probably thought the owl-cat-person alien was named Kim, but you're wrong. You're missing out on her having the hilariously Star Wars name "Kh'ymm".
I love her, because she looks like Virgil's species, from Mighty Max, and the sequence seems very much inspired by Oghra from The Dark Crystal. Loving it.
I honestly do feel bad for people who cant let themselves enjoy this show. The show is just fun. And I think they forgot how to have fun and enjoy things.
@@JBzucc Andor is incredible, but I don’t know if I would call it fun. It’s engaging, and thought provoking, and has incredible moments of splendor. But it’s also slower and a lot heavier. While I love it, I can see why Andor wouldn’t be accessible to some people. But I feel like Skeleton crew is a more all ages show appealing to a wider audience.
@MikeKaess it's definitely more of a wider appeal but it's just how people would say it doesn't feel like starwars that gets me, when this feels less like starwars than any of the shows to me but I'm still enjoying it
SM-33’s insistence on saying “I can’t say I remember no Att Attin”, when in fact he was there before, gives me the impression that he was FORBIDDEN to say anything about it, but knows the location.
I thought similar, implanted memory to repeat when the name is spoken. I think theyre going to get to coords and the Khy'mm set them up and rhey get arrested by Republic.
I just introduced my 8 year old daughter to the first two episodes. Given she's not huge into Star Wars I thought she might get bored, but she was immediately hooked and begged to watch episode 2. She's 100% hooked and cannot wait to watch part 3 and the rest of it!
That's great!! Mine love it too. It's the first SW show we've all been able to enjoy together since Mandalorian. It's an actual *family* show, where there's something for everyone. I'm over here worrying about the dad and rooting for him, my kids are rewinding it to see all the crazy alien pirates haha
It is 100% a kids' show in the best sense of the term. I'm 57 and while some of the Disney era stuff I've liked and some I've not (same for the pre-Disney era, TBH), this is honestly the first thing I've seen in a LONG time that captures a spark of what that 9 year old who saw the first Star Wars in a movie theater felt the moment he heard the opening theme fanfare.
This show absolutely does what every show should do, ends each episode with a feeling wanting more. I hope the rest of the season continues to be this good
@@ahsenkhan5386they mean they want more. Not that it’s so bad they wish there was more to it. So far, every time a new question comes up, it’s answered in the next episode. They’ve got one big one which is the nature of at-attin. But like, it’s a show you need a reason to not immediately make a b-line for at-attin. Like yes, they end it on a cliffhanger, but it’s more like a brain teaser since you’ll actually be thinking about the show before the next episode shows up on your Disney plus in a week
Hearing your opinions on the kid characters as a father yourself is just refreshing to hear. I'm glad there's someone who can trust the Skeleton Crew kids to drive the story the way they can; as children.
I have two friends that both have a pair of little girls they're raising. Both dads have reached out to me absolutely raving about how their daughters love the show! KB seems to be an early favorite of the kids.
The ship being stuck on the fuel line was top notch effects for a show, I was quite impressed. Looking forward to more from this show being a fun light hearted adventure with healthy doses of loreium 😜
This is what I want out of a D+ show. Fun, escapist entertainment in the Star Wars universe. Nothing that feels like homework so you will be up to speed when they eventually make the movie, just a fun TV show to watch in the winter.
Its also worth noting that the New Republic X-Wings featured in this episode have ion cannons on the lower guns, suggesting the transition of their military to a peacekeeping force during the era the show takes place But it also re-raises the question as to why the BTA-NR2 Y-wings had their ion cannons taken away due to the dematerialization policies the NR reinforced towards the time before episode 7
@@GAJakea ion cannon can only stun/disable. But the Y-Wings is made as a bomber against capital ships and the ion cannon is so strong that small ships got disabled too long and crashes often
@@GAJake my bad, i only thought of the ship itself, not the parts. But either way if the NR probably wants to avoid paying for to much force used against civilian ships
Honestly the writing for the kids in this show is hands down the best writing for children on TV I've seen in a long time. It's nice to see a show let kids be smart, but still be immature and ignorant. Too many shows end up writing kids as little adults to show them as being intelligent, or writing them dumb as bricks. Also yeah, I 100% agree that the show just feels like Star Wars, Mando got too much of the Marvel treatment trying to tie it in to a larger narrative, and lost that vibe, and this show is doing a good job of capturing it. Skeleton Crew and Andor are showing that Star Wars can be both prestige TV drama, and goofy kid stuff, and hopefully Disney takes that and finally understands that what Star Wars always needed was to be broadened. The universe already had so much lore and backstory, even with nuking the old canon, that you really didn't need the depth of a big interconnected saga, or at least not every show has to have that.
I wouldn't have minded The Mandalorian being so interconnected if the quality of writing and narrative was up to scratch. But it wasn't. I enjoyed Ahsoka, but that was also very clumsy at times. But yeah, loving Skeleton Crew so far, and agreed on the writing for the kids.
Im convinced people just hate stuff for the sake of hating something. This show is near perfect so far for what it is trying to accomplish. Which is telling a fun, but fresh story
2:36 Those aren’t just *kids*, they are kids who had friggin *differential calculus* at like, 10. That changes a person, they either develop their thinking skills, or they flop like I did.
I don't know if anyone picked up on this, but one of the kids mentions that they've never heard of the Galactic Civil War. I thought that was interesting. Clearly At Attin has done well at isolating itself from the galaxy
I am glad you mentioning how the the show has been shot. It does actually feel like a movie and feels like Star Wars. Even the Mandalorian has some episodes that just feel so TV with the budget or how the episode is shot.
Lots of people are crapping on the volume now but to me it's the same as the green screen in the prequel trilogy. You have to know what you can pull off convincingly in the volume and the rest you have to use real locations.
Okay the first episode gave me pause with the American suburbia but after episode two and expecially this episode, I’m absolutely loving this show, it’s full of mystery and wonder. Jude law has an incredible presence on screen, and all the kids acting in this episode felt so natural as well. While I wasn’t a huge fan of the first one, episode two and three are thrilling, every scene eggs me on into wondering what’s going to happen next. The pirate droid is probably the best part, his mannerisms, his imposing stature, the way he lurks in and out of the shadow, he feels like a character from pirates of the Caribbean if it took place in space. Anything is possible and I could feel totally different by the end of the season but for now this feels like it’s on the verge of being something great. I can only imagine how much more I would love it as a 12-14 year old if it captures my imagination like this as an adult.
In a galaxy of thousands of inhabited planets I have to idea why people think a futuristic suburban area is somehow unrealistic. It's not like it was just shot in modern day Cleveland and tried to pass it off as star wars universe. All the cities they are in look like futuristic versions of modern or ancient cities. It's the same thing.
@@F0XD1E Nah, it is just that we are not that much used to this kind of environment in Star Wars, so it may feel a bit strange, but I have no problem with that. Well, there has to be something between Coruscant and Mos Eisley, right? Some medium-sized city :-)
Totally agree. Love this show for exactly what it is. It’s a real joy to watch and I’m excited others are enjoying it as well. Love to see multiple seasons of this.
i just find myself smiling while watching. it's a good representation that star wars can be something different, it can be mysterious, it can be anything a creator wants but still done within the what makes sense for cannon and lore, such as andor. it also doesn't need to be "woke" i have no issues with one of the kids *KB's i believe) having two moms. the acolyte was weird for so much more than two women loving each other... i won't harp on it. I’ve seen people talk about how fern is “the boss girl” and I didn’t get that at all. I saw her as a bossy girl with a mother that has high expectations for her. Oh and Neel snoring was so adorable.
Well, "woke" - I can see why people see it woke - two moms, no white male kid :-) But well, there were lesbians in Andor too if I recall correctly :-D And people seem to like Andor. Overall, I think Skeleton Crew feels like the most "starwarsy" show in a long time! I hope it will keep this good for the rest of the series.
I'm loving Skeleton Crew a lot so far. On the one side we have kids on a very 80's style fun adventure. But we also have the mystery of their home and why was it hidden for so long? I love that we can have great Star Wars like this and Andor, both are very good and show that there is room for variety in the galaxy.
A bit thinking about SM-33 denial of knowledge of Att Attin. The original Onyx Cinder crew could have been in flight to Att Attin on purpose. It depends when SM-33 was deactivated. Before the fight on board or after the crash landing? Before the crash landing is for me the more likely scenario. We have two corpses on board, as far as I know. The "mutineer" would have known that SM-33 is a capable fighter. So he/she had to take him out before killing the captain. When SM-33 was deactivated, he had one hand on a lever. Pulling the lever closed the internal doors. As if the mutineer made his intention clear and SM-33 tried to buy his captain some time. This could hint towards: Onyx Cinder crew knew the coordinates of Att Attin. Was inbound for Att Attin. The "mutineer" wanted all treasures for himself. So deactivating SM-33 -> fight mutineer vs. captain -> one killed, the other wounded and sucumbing to its wounds -> crash landing on Att Attin.
They were kinda hiding the face of Ky'mm at first, until the character flew into the scene, but i thought it was going to be a known character at first 🤷😅
The great irony in all this is that, in a near-desperate effort to just pick up a W for a franchise, Disney backtracked and found its original self again and used that to deliver something really good.
I feel like the scene where the droid says nothing can be done and Wim’s dad takes his glasses off was a parent about to break the rules. Wild guess is he is going to get in trouble but find out the galaxy has moved on and forgotten about them.
I’m grumpy and loathe what they’ve done with several exceptions; Rogue One, Fallen Order and Survivor, Andor. I enjoyed Skeleton Crew. It looks excellent too.
Obvious parallel’s to Peter Pan, Treasure Island, and Goonies: goonies: kids discovering a lost ship and going on a runaway adventure where they meet scoundrels and creatures. Treasure Island: kids leading pirates to lost treasure, “Wim” = “Jim”. And Peter Pan: the children being imprisoned, escaping, “SM-33” = “Smee”, their parents being worried about their disappearance, Crimson Jack is kinda of like Peter Pan (uses “magic”/the force) and having Crimson Jack = Captain Jack for another pirate movie reference with Pirates of the Caribbean. Nicely done.
Honestly, Fern is so far my favorite character. She reminds me of my granddaughter. Full of sass and thinks she runs everything. LOL. Wim reminds me of me when i was his age. Always a dreamer and eager for adventure. But very naive!
I am an grown ass man but this show totally brings my inner child back! Especially loving the kids interaction and dynamics (they were arguing who shot the xwing, or Jack was bossing the kids but supposedly Fern is the captain... ) with the mystery within star wars unverise, the practical effects, the pirate adventure vibe... (I also really appreciate Eck mentions the practical effects and details that the show put in is easily ignored, like ep3 the turbulence of the xwings messed up KB's hair, is borrowing from the opening scene from TopGun Marvick. This really sells the realism of the physics) I sometimes replay some scenes to enjoy the effort that the crew put in, very satisfying
Yeah, I was thinking to myself that this is the direction Mando should have gone after losing Grogu at the end of Season 2, before eventually coming back around to helping Mandalore and ultimately reuniting with Grogu near the end.
I have to agree. I too am enjoying the _Skeleton Crew,_ and I'm so happy for the IP's future I really can do that. Well, _for now,_ anyway. Hope for the best &c...
I like how much they seem to name drop the old republic in this. Now ofc this. Could be referring to the republic of the clone wars era as the “old” republic while they have the “new” republic, not specifically referring to the era from over 1100 ish years ago but I’d like to think that it’s that kind of old that nobody alive really knows anything other than stories.
@ that’s fair enough. Tho to be fair that era lasted from 1000 years prior to the clone wars, through the high republic and through to the end of the clone wars. So I do guess this legend will have a lot of age to it
The Skeleton Crew is a breath of fresh air for Star Wars. The kids really do a great job of bringing their characters to life. A person can relate to each one. Jude Law is making it even better by his reaction to the kids. His character probably never expected to ‘have’ kids. Now here is with 4 that are lost and needing his guidance in t the greater universe. What comes next no one will expect. My hopes are they start the next season quickly so the kids aren’t aged out.
The owl immediately reminded me of Virgil, from the Mighty Max cartoon. That kind of obscure reference cannot be an accident. And she's initially, mysteriously, presented incredibly similarly to Oghra, from The Dark Crystal, but with an entirely new character and personality.
My kids love it, I love it. It is light hearted. It is not about saving the galaxy. The kids dynamic is funny and feels like right from the next school yard.
Glad you are enjoying the show; I know I am loving it! In terms of vibes, for me, it has a great deal of hearkening back to 80's movies like the Goonies and E.T. Unlike shows like Stranger Things, it doesn't fully take away the "rosy nostalgia" glasses and lets us enjoy the adventure while its there. Plus, I do enjoy the mystery of At Attin. Speaking of which, joke theory: At Attin is a giant supercomputer ala Deep Thought from Hitchhiker's; hence why SOO many folk are analysts on the planet.
I think my favorite point in this episode was when the kid got to get in the gun thing and he looked hyped up about it. We’ve all imagined that at some point.
this show has the magic that the origional trillogy had. its like the feeling you gte watching any speiburg film. i am inlove with this series. this is like the kid show where manidlorian is more for adults.
This show gave me something that modern star war has lost nostalgia that feeling of coming home after work makeing dinner befor the show starts and sitting down to whatch a show I genuinely like
I legit pumped my fist when they were yelling that Silvio escaped. They’re NOT going with the done to death liar revealed trope with dragging the fake Jedi lie out over several episodes.
I genuinely enjoyed this show and resubscribed to your channel because of this review. As far as your channel goes, what's missing for me was always the lack of face cam. I don't know why it's a big deal for me but either way thanks for the honest and fair review.
No, that was Morai, a female convor. Morai had a bird face and beak on an owl’s body. This creature Kh’ymm has a cat face, nose, and mouth on an owl’s body.
Im loving it as well - glad to see that a lot of people seem to be enjoying it. Im sure at some point itll be overcome with negativity in all the comment sections. But for now Im pretty happy and it feels good to be a star wars fan for the first time since Ahsoka.
That is not just an Star Wars owl. It's a feline face. It's like a cat owl. It's face looks nothing like an owls. I think it's a nice touch that differentiates it from just an owl.
I'm betting he was a Jedi turned Inquisitor, then deserted once the Inquisitorious began to be phased out, by that point Vader was too busy to chase him down and kill him. Another reason he doesn't want the NR to get their hands on him, piracy is one thing (he was shown to at least be fair to the victim ship's crew if the vessel gave up and cooperated) but even a former Inquisitor would likely be executed for severe crimes against the Galaxy. And a Jedi doesn't just turn to victimizing commerce without at least having a brush with the Dark Side.
I'm afraid of watching my favorite IP getting shafted yet again. If you're giving it props, I'll check it out. Sounds like people like it and it feels fresh.
Anyone watching without subtitles probably thought the owl-cat-person alien was named Kim, but you're wrong. You're missing out on her having the hilariously Star Wars name "Kh'ymm".
Heh, yeah captions help a *ton* with Star Wars!
Yeah I'm using captions too cause sometimes voices are weird and it helps a lot. Real fun seeing their names spelled out
I love her, because she looks like Virgil's species, from Mighty Max, and the sequence seems very much inspired by Oghra from The Dark Crystal. Loving it.
I always have subtitles on. Star Wars tends to use strange words that's easily missed.
Just like Timm from Ferrix who sounds like “Tim”…
I honestly do feel bad for people who cant let themselves enjoy this show. The show is just fun. And I think they forgot how to have fun and enjoy things.
Can you blame them though? There's an extensive and really bad precedent set in the past several years
@ yes. Because there’s also precedent for good stuff from the last few years too. Every project should be judged on its own merits.
It's exactly how I feel about anyone who couldn't enjoy Andor
@@JBzucc Andor is incredible, but I don’t know if I would call it fun. It’s engaging, and thought provoking, and has incredible moments of splendor. But it’s also slower and a lot heavier. While I love it, I can see why Andor wouldn’t be accessible to some people.
But I feel like Skeleton crew is a more all ages show appealing to a wider audience.

Maybe he is like B.E.N. in The Treasure Planet
SM-33... Smee. Smee, Smee, what about Smee? Smee's me, what about me?
Or he got memory wipped/has memory damage and don't remember

A bit thinking about SM-33 denial of knowledge of Att Attin.
The original Onyx Cinder crew could have been in flight to Att Attin on purpose.
It depends when SM-33 was deactivated. Before the fight on board or after the crash landing?
Before the crash landing is for me the more likely scenario.
We have two corpses on board, as far as I know.
The "mutineer" would have known that SM-33 is a capable fighter.
So he/she had to take him out before killing the captain.
When SM-33 was deactivated, he had one hand on a lever. Pulling the lever closed the internal doors.
As if the mutineer made his intention clear and SM-33 tried to buy his captain some time.
This could hint towards:
Onyx Cinder crew knew the coordinates of Att Attin. Was inbound for Att Attin.
The "mutineer" wanted all treasures for himself.
So deactivating SM-33 -> fight mutineer vs. captain -> one killed, the other wounded and sucumbing to its wounds -> crash landing on Att Attin.

It’s just another cooption of Bubo from Greek mythology. Dave had Morai, now we have Kh’ymm.
The great irony in all this is that, in a near-desperate effort to just pick up a W for a franchise, Disney backtracked and found its original self again and used that to deliver something really good.
I feel like the scene where the droid says nothing can be done and Wim’s dad takes his glasses off was a parent about to break the rules. Wild guess is he is going to get in trouble but find out the galaxy has moved on and forgotten about them.
Kh'ymm's home seems like an observatory where she's learned and gathered information on new worlds. There could be a lot of lore there.
One of my favourite moments was the B1 battle droid waking up and saying “did we win?!” In the classic voice 😂
Little nugget of nostalgia bait.🤦♂️
I am glad they made it clear that Jude Law character was Captain Silvo. Along with the kids finding out he's not trustworthy.
You forgot about the end screen ;)
Crimson Jack... Jack Crimson... John Silver.
Han Solo killed Crimson Jack in issue 15 of the Star Wars Marvel comic in 1978.
I’m grumpy and loathe what they’ve done with several exceptions; Rogue One, Fallen Order and Survivor, Andor. I enjoyed Skeleton Crew. It looks excellent too.
Obvious parallel’s to Peter Pan, Treasure Island, and Goonies: goonies: kids discovering a lost ship and going on a runaway adventure where they meet scoundrels and creatures. Treasure Island: kids leading pirates to lost treasure, “Wim” = “Jim”. And Peter Pan: the children being imprisoned, escaping, “SM-33” = “Smee”, their parents being worried about their disappearance, Crimson Jack is kinda of like Peter Pan (uses “magic”/the force) and having Crimson Jack = Captain Jack for another pirate movie reference with Pirates of the Caribbean. Nicely done.
Great observation
I never expected to like the show but I’m falling in love with it…I’m intrigued and genuinely curious about the next part of the story.
Honestly, Fern is so far my favorite character. She reminds me of my granddaughter. Full of sass and thinks she runs everything. LOL. Wim reminds me of me when i was his age. Always a dreamer and eager for adventure. But very naive!
Such an outstanding show. This is the Star Wars I was hoping for.
The dog at the end makes me laugh so hard every single time
10/10 Outtro
I am an grown ass man but this show totally brings my inner child back! Especially loving the kids interaction and dynamics (they were arguing who shot the xwing, or Jack was bossing the kids but supposedly Fern is the captain... ) with the mystery within star wars unverise, the practical effects, the pirate adventure vibe...
(I also really appreciate Eck mentions the practical effects and details that the show put in is easily ignored, like ep3 the turbulence of the xwings messed up KB's hair, is borrowing from the opening scene from TopGun Marvick. This really sells the realism of the physics)
I sometimes replay some scenes to enjoy the effort that the crew put in, very satisfying
People don't like Fern??? She's hilarious
Yeah, I was thinking to myself that this is the direction Mando should have gone after losing Grogu at the end of Season 2, before eventually coming back around to helping Mandalore and ultimately reuniting with Grogu near the end.
I love Fern. If I were 10 she'd be my hero. She's brash and I think she really fits into the Star Wars universe.
Im loving the pirate theme!
I have to agree. I too am enjoying the _Skeleton Crew,_ and I'm so happy for the IP's future I really can do that.
Well, _for now,_ anyway. Hope for the best &c...
This show IS just such a vibe!
I like how much they seem to name drop the old republic in this. Now ofc this. Could be referring to the republic of the clone wars era as the “old” republic while they have the “new” republic, not specifically referring to the era from over 1100 ish years ago but I’d like to think that it’s that kind of old that nobody alive really knows anything other than stories.
The show runner Johnny Watts said in an interview the other day he meant the Clone Wars era Republic not the KOTOR Republic.
@ that’s fair enough. Tho to be fair that era lasted from 1000 years prior to the clone wars, through the high republic and through to the end of the clone wars. So I do guess this legend will have a lot of age to it
The Skeleton Crew is a breath of fresh air for Star Wars. The kids really do a great job of bringing their characters to life. A person can relate to each one. Jude Law is making it even better by his reaction to the kids. His character probably never expected to ‘have’ kids. Now here is with 4 that are lost and needing his guidance in t the greater universe. What comes next no one will expect. My hopes are they start the next season quickly so the kids aren’t aged out.
Yes the pacing, the effects, the look, the acting... it's just all so good!!!
The owl immediately reminded me of Virgil, from the Mighty Max cartoon. That kind of obscure reference cannot be an accident. And she's initially, mysteriously, presented incredibly similarly to Oghra, from The Dark Crystal, but with an entirely new character and personality.
It’s just another cooption of Bubo from Greek mythology. Dave had Morai and now there’s Kh’ymm.
"Did we win?"
Oh those poor B-1s.
I laughed obnoxiously loud at that line and the droid's falling apart.
These kids are endlessly relatable (to anyone with a good childhood)
The space visuals are gorgeous. The space observatory was beautiful.
Star wars pirates of the Caribbean!
This show is killing it..!!! The story, the vibes, it’s so captivating and leaves you wanting more at the end of each episode❤
I haven't seen this show yet, and honestly, this is the first positive review I've seen of it. You have convinced me to give it a chance.
Oh man!! The good ol ending credits theme is back 😁!
The show is so good!!!! 2nd to Andor!!!
Better than Andor :-)
Like this very much. Well done, for once, Disney!
I was mad it came out so late at 9, midnight would kill me!
The sequels would've been better if Maz Kanata was an Owl.
Not **much** better, but better.
The sequels could only be better had they been George’s version they trashed instead of remaking the original trilogy.
My kids love it, I love it. It is light hearted. It is not about saving the galaxy. The kids dynamic is funny and feels like right from the next school yard.
At the end of this show I look forward to the next episode, unlike the Acolyte, where I was just glad it was over!
Glad you are enjoying the show; I know I am loving it!
In terms of vibes, for me, it has a great deal of hearkening back to 80's movies like the Goonies and E.T. Unlike shows like Stranger Things, it doesn't fully take away the "rosy nostalgia" glasses and lets us enjoy the adventure while its there. Plus, I do enjoy the mystery of At Attin.
Speaking of which, joke theory: At Attin is a giant supercomputer ala Deep Thought from Hitchhiker's; hence why SOO many folk are analysts on the planet.
I think my favorite point in this episode was when the kid got to get in the gun thing and he looked hyped up about it. We’ve all imagined that at some point.
This show is getting better, i am actually excited to watch it.
I hope your son gets better fast.
Idk how I feel about the owl but I can be sold if they give us some lore for her lol
wait there was a B1 Battle droid?, i didn't see that at all while i was watching
He's in the droid repair area, and his head falls off when turned on
"Did we win?"
@@Jonathan-373 I must stop paying attention at the worst time apparently
@@DCPTF2 Well, it was just a few seconds :-)
If you blink you miss it. It was maybe a second of another gratuitous nugget of nostalgia bait.
Already subbed to TCGP channel - one of your first hundred-ish!
this show has the magic that the origional trillogy had. its like the feeling you gte watching any speiburg film. i am inlove with this series. this is like the kid show where manidlorian is more for adults.
This show gave me something that modern star war has lost nostalgia that feeling of coming home after work makeing dinner befor the show starts and sitting down to whatch a show I genuinely like
My favorite part of this series is the linear story structure, where we learn what's going on along with the kids.
This show is suprisingle good. I love the "goonies in space" vibe.
I legit pumped my fist when they were yelling that Silvio escaped. They’re NOT going with the done to death liar revealed trope with dragging the fake Jedi lie out over several episodes.
I genuinely enjoyed this show and resubscribed to your channel because of this review. As far as your channel goes, what's missing for me was always the lack of face cam. I don't know why it's a big deal for me but either way thanks for the honest and fair review.
Such a great addition to the Star war lore.
isn't the owl race in a clone war episode?
No, that was Morai, a female convor. Morai had a bird face and beak on an owl’s body. This creature Kh’ymm has a cat face, nose, and mouth on an owl’s body.
Im loving it as well - glad to see that a lot of people seem to be enjoying it. Im sure at some point itll be overcome with negativity in all the comment sections. But for now Im pretty happy and it feels good to be a star wars fan for the first time since Ahsoka.
Our family is enjoying the light hearted nature of this Star Wars adventure adaptation.
My partner loves it as well as out 7 year old daughter. So refreshing and i get to share what i love with them!
Classic outro earned the like
Actually a fun show. Definitely doesn’t need to be weekly. But glad an adult has arrived
The owl was a puppet dude. All the creatures and droids are puppets and animatronics.
How do you know
@@akolyt Director David Lowery in an interview with Collider said "the two episodes I did have so many puppets in them"
Im enjoying this for same reasons
Yay! Old outro is back!
I am loving it!! great show!
That is not just an Star Wars owl. It's a feline face. It's like a cat owl. It's face looks nothing like an owls. I think it's a nice touch that differentiates it from just an owl.
Dude, the owlcat thing is clearly a puppet from the way it moves.
The plot twist of the show will be that Crimson Jack was actually a dark Jedi or sith apprentice and gets the name from the color of his lightsaber
I'm betting he was a Jedi turned Inquisitor, then deserted once the Inquisitorious began to be phased out, by that point Vader was too busy to chase him down and kill him.
Another reason he doesn't want the NR to get their hands on him, piracy is one thing (he was shown to at least be fair to the victim ship's crew if the vessel gave up and cooperated) but even a former Inquisitor would likely be executed for severe crimes against the Galaxy. And a Jedi doesn't just turn to victimizing commerce without at least having a brush with the Dark Side.
Lighthearted? The series opened with about 50 people being murdered by pirates, including a guy being thrown out an airlock. So...
I'm afraid of watching my favorite IP getting shafted yet again. If you're giving it props, I'll check it out. Sounds like people like it and it feels fresh.
The owl alien gave me " Clash of the Titans" vibes but it WAS done better. Glad they didn't go with a clockwork droid for it.
That’s because Kh’ymm is a real bird unlike Bubo from Greek mythology.
