Goonies in Space! Is Exactly What We Needed! - Skeleton Crew Season 1 Eps 1 Reaction

[@fusionaddict]

OK, it's the holiday season, it's time to tear off the bandage. Like if you want Jay & Adam to react to the Holiday Special!

[@tegustacarmen]

Second that opinion!

[@thehenchman.]

You have to see because every other star wars show looks like Shakespeare

[@evieblue959]

No, let’s wait until Star Wars is in a better place. After Andor S2, maybe, to lighten the mood

[@erinmccabe1984]

Needs to happen. Has anyone done a reaction to it?? Guy imagine to views...

[@randomperson-dy6kj]

Do It!

[@foulrot]

I've only known him for 2 episodes, but I will die to protect Neel.

[@zulawoo]

Yep, felt the same after just 1 episode.

[@greywater57]

Actually, Brutus (the werewolf-looking pirate who led the mutiny) is a Shistavanen, a species we first saw way back in A New Hope in the Mos Eisley Cantina!

[@alexanderthealright]

The fact that so many canon alien species in the SWG are just guys wearing surplus flight suits and masks from Rick Baker's collection will always make me smile.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

@@alexanderthealright And so cool. Nothing is a wasted idea or costume concept. I always loved that werewolf. I hated that some of his scenes were deleted in The Special Edition. I'm still hoping for Our boy, Hammerhead to show up in both Animation and live-action (The Mandoverse), in the near future.

[@smittyjjensin558]

I love how we got references to 3 famous pirates/pirate characters in this show. Silvo (Long John Silver), SM33 (Captain Hooks first mate Smee), and Brutus (Blackbeard).

[@The2ndQuest]

@@anthonyyoutubefan7567 For recent live-action, there was an Ithorian (hammerhead) in this very episode- the old lady walking her dog that he almost runs into when leaving the house (after the lawnmower droid), in addition to the student Ithorian(s) we see soon after. The crooked mayor in The Book of Boba Fett was also an Ithorian (with a speaking role), and I think one also appeared somewhere in Mando Season 3. For recent animation, Bolo was the Ithorian hanging out with the Weequay Ketch at Cid's in The Bad Batch. He was even based on the original Kenner Hammerhead action figure.

[@jwkoelker]

Fun fact, if you ever played the Star Wars CCG you got to know the names of ALL those aliens in the cantina. The Shistavanen was Lak Sivrak, one of my favorite cards back in the day!

[@TimGildersleeve]

Neel must be protected at all costs. He is so pure.

[@johnalang]

The holographic scene was indeed from "The Holiday Special"

[@Jon_FM]

Yeah some of us have ptsd from it. Having watched it when it was actually released on TV.

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

And was actually re-shot for this series using the original as reference.

[@The2ndQuest]

@@LittleGalaxyBoy Can you imagine? "We want to hire you to perform in a Star Wars show." "Oh, that's amazing I've been a Star Wars fan my entire life! This is a dream come true!" "Fantastic, so have you ever seen the Holiday Special?" "I can't wait to- oh. Oh no..."

[@tylerbuckner3750]

Also, it’s elephants watching humans dressed as animals doing circus routines. Irony wrapped in an homage.

[@MrCookieCat]

The pirates using zip lines to get over to the freighter reminded me of old Hollywood pirate movies with Errol Flynn. Pirates swinging over from the main mast, dropping in behind defenders. Yes I am very old, haha.

[@kaenopi]

cocomelon brain rot is real in the star wars universe, and it comes from the holiday special. i love it.

[@MDestron2282]

I think that's exactly what they're saying without saying it.

[@nomisunrider6472]

I love bait and switch twists. "Oh, you thought that the twist was going to be that Jude Law in a helmet and voice synthesizer was Jude Law? You fool! The twist was that these children live in a dystopia!".

[@AmazingChi]

I am very appreciative that there's an extra layer to this that wasn't advertised.

[@ToastKnight_]

Neel is a TREASURE

[@DavidMachiavello]

This show has a little bit of everything from 80s kids movies, some Goonies, some Explorers, some Space Camp. I feel like we should have an 80s movies bingo card when we watch along.

[@EclecticMagpie22]

I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought of Space Camp!

[@starsfell]

SPACE CAMP YEEEESSSSSS

[@WretchPlays]

One of the best sponsor ads I've seen!

[@KingTaishar]

Sam would i approve!

[@sumseq]

OMG!! STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL REACTION IS A MUST!!!!!

[@SamaritanPrime]

Take a shot every time the boys do a WTF? Face.

[@baddealdude807]

Neel is starwars Milhouse and I love him with all my heart

[@thesharpercoder]

This show is WIZARD!

[@moderndancingfool]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW. In between the first season of The Mandalorian (& a lot of the second) Andor and this, it shows that if you have a good story to tell, it can be completely different than other things in the franchise and still work. Story is everything. I'm hooked.

[@ll7868]

The Star Wars Holiday Special is a rite of passage, you can't truly call yourself a Star Wars fan unless you "Force" yourselves to endure it and your subscribers would like to see you do it if only because we're sadists. (Edit - It would make a nice Festivus gift) If you manage to get through that experience you still have to survive the Ewok Double Feature, 1984's Caravan Of Courage and The Battle For Endor from '85.

[@RedCaio]

the ewok movies are infinitely more watchable than the holiday special. But I'd love to see them react to all of the above. Don't forget the Lego holiday special too

[@MDestron2282]

@@RedCaio For real. The Ewok movies are pretty standard 80s B fantasy.

[@Skye_Writer]

@@RedCaio oh yeah, Caravan of Courage was something my brother and I watched over and over. Ofc, he was 8 years old and I was 10, so we were SQUARELY in the demographic George was aiming for. But we adored it, and my little brother had SUCH a crush on Cindel! The second Ewok movie was...meh. We basically got bored with it halfway through, and I'm not sure I've ever seen how it ended. But if Our Boys liked "Willow" (the movie) then they'd probably like both Ewok flicks. The '78 Holiday Special is...definitely not worth watching. I say that as a megafan who was obsessed with SW from the first moment the movie came out. But the Holiday Special isn't Star Wars. It doesn't look or feel like Star Wars, because it wasn't done by the people who created Star Wars. I tried to rewatch it a couple of years ago and found myself fast-forwarding through most of it. But hey, if Our Boys want to torture themselves like that, I'd watch.

[@ll7868]

@@Skye_Writer The only reason I even bothered with the Ewok movies is because my kids who were between 5 and 9 at the time loved the Ewoks after I made them watch the Star Wars trilogy on VHS, so I got the Ewok movies on VHS and sat through them with the kids. I never would have been able to watch them by myself. I was also a huge Star Wars fan from the start, even had the entire Marvel comic run from '77-'85, the best thing to come out of the Star Wars Holiday Special was the Boba Fett animated bit, not only did it solidify him as a fan favourite it also got him a 4 issue limited series based on the Special. That series made DC jealous and they created Lobo as a parody of Boba Fett. The only canon in the Holiday Special are "The Story Of The Faithful Wookiee" Boba Fett cartoon, in The Book Of Boba Fett Chapter 3: The Streets Of Mos Espa Boba Fett makes a passing reference to riding the dragon, and Life Day being the Star Wars version of Festivus.

[@davidbergfors6820]

I have yet to see the Holiday special myself, it would be a nicer way of enduring it if it be with friends.

[@kendric2000-q3d]

Neel is a genuine and supportive friend. Love that little dude. :D

[@newsiesmario2242]

I adored these episodes! It just made me smile while watching. Sometimes we just need something fun! Kids are doing great so far, and I really have enjoyed the sets and cool locations. Excited to see where this goes!

[@adam1third]

Percussive maintenance always works!

[@DToomer]

Bravo, Gentlemen. From the Promo, to the Reaction, to the discussion. Love you guys.

[@michaelbarnes25]

The joy and wonder shining in Jay's eyes is just so....man it's great. It's really great seeing other guys getting as emotional over this stuff as I do 😅

[@MatCaveGaming]

Thank you for pointing out the Goonies music! I was starting to think I was the only one that heard it. LOL!

[@jasonmarbach]

Ad read goes CRAZY. Nice job guys 🤣❤️

[@TheOnlyHawkeye666]

I need more information on this ship........the second I saw it I loved it. The design instantly made my top ten favorite all time SW ships. I really hope we learn all about it during this season

[@castlebyers6134]

Having only seen the first two episodes Neel is my favorite character.

[@robjackson_CDXL]

When I saw the 50 minute runtime of the first episode I couldn’t believe it, this episode flew by in no time at all 🙂

[@kateorgera5907]

Adam you are teasing everyone with your Chopper shirt.

I need it yesterday

[@BenTanner92]

15:40 yes it was from the holiday special 😂😂😂😂

[@MatthewFabb]

Not just that, they went into the LucasFilm archives to look up the notes of the costumes and recreated those scenes from different angles. There was apparently no information about the music and they just had to listen to the original music from the Star Wars Holiday Special over and over again to recreate it as best they could! All for a quick small gag. 😀

[@hoss4774]

I love this show SO MUCH! When was the last time we got to say "Holy shit that was so....FUN!" about a Star Wars project Also...if anything happens to Neel I will take out ALL of Disney!

[@jasminelong3234]

6 minutes ago?! But also I saw these first two episodes and was immediately so pumped for your reaction. I'm really looking forward to hearing what you guys think as this show unfolds! I agree, I think this is the vibe we needed!

You guys got my like just for the darrington press ad

So far this show is everything I hoped for! Loved every second of it!

[@tristanmilner9511]

Since this has an 80's kids movie vibe, will they get away from the wolfman by hitting him in the nards? 5:36 is he though? He hasn't had a crew since The Clone Wars and that was over 20 years before A New Hope and Skeleton Crew is 9 years after that, according to Wookiepedia. Can he still be considered a pirate when all his crimes in Rebels where done with connections to Phoenix Squad and would be label as Terrorist attacks by the Empire, not acts of Piracy? Although, we did see in Andor that the Empire really doesn't care what you did when sentencing you. Being arrested is enough for them.

[@HeatRaver]

But does SPACE-wolfman have nards?? 🙃

[@NicolleLaShane]

Neel and his family are adorable

[@justanothertoyreviewer]

Ice Pirates - Cheesy classic. Wonderful time travel scene.

Secretary Farah is Kerry Condon who was in the TV series Rome, and is the voice of Tony Stark's Friday

[@AmazingChi]

I'll add Banshees of Inisherin as a recent thing (which she won awards for, I believe) that might be behind the 'I know her' reaction since FRIDAY is only a voice, of course.

[@andrewchristian5406]

Adam it was a life day reference.

[@jasonmarbach]

4:04 Jay and I have very different ideas of what “space ‘poon gang” means 🥴🤣❤️

[@terririnella4032]

1st thing, is Genndy involved, because while not as colourful, the beginning feels like Clone Wars 2003 action in live action 2nd, in the beginning, if this is Jude, or whomever that was, the top of his helmet looks like a pirate hat, it looks folded, swept back, and resting on the top of his head. if that is the kind of detail we are getting, then hooray

[@DalekWidow]

I'm still watching the reaction but I wanted to come in and say that the "SILENCE!" during the sponsor ad, almost made me spray my keyboard with my drink!

[@Opi-Wan]

Very good show. Neel is king.

[@Skye_Writer]

15:30 it is 100% part of the holiday special; Chewie's kid was watching the same program.

[@Skye_Writer]

4:36 sweetie, he's 100% Shistavanen. (Btw, Bothans' appearances haven't yet been decided/confirmed, even though they have shown up in other media like video games) Bothans differed in facial appearance and body structure with canine, feline, and equine (horse)features, so they are actually not wolf people. The Shistavanen, however, are 100% wolf people, which is why George removed the one he had in the first movie. He ALWAYS hated it because it was an off-the-shelf mask rather than a unique creation and he didn't felt it looked Star Wars enough. But, he was out of money and out of time, he had to get something on film, so the wolfman was classified as a Shistavanen and he was named Lak Sivrak in the '90's EU book, "Tales From the Cantina," a collection of short stories detailing the lives of everyone you see in the cantina. You can see the ORIGINAL cantina scene in this vid where the Shistavanen makes 3 appearances in the first minute and a half: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3zCmqprjtWmaK8 Also, Wookieepedia confirmed Brutus IS a Shistavanen: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Brutus

9:28 Hey, Y'all noticed how she said "The Republic"? not the New Republic? this plays in to my theories after seeing the second episode too though, so hold on. 15:28 so based on what I hear, I have now seen a little bit of the legendary Holiday special? 18:46 HAH! Imagine that, "Skeleton crew"! 19:40 Glad I'm not the only one who knows my ship interiors from Jedi temples.. 19:50 the term is Percussive maintenance. 20:02 this is great! 21:40 Screaming while entering Hyperspace? that's a great cliff-hanger!

[@aricaj.3006]

I've wanted to see more space pirate action in Star Wars so I'm hyped that that's literally the plot of the show 😆 I'm not holding my breath for a Hondo cameo but this would be the perfect place for it. Also I love that SM-33 is obviously a reference to Smee and Captain Silvo to Long John Silver. Man I need to rewatch _Hook_ and _Treasure Planet_ EDIT: I had to add that Fern (the racer girl) gives me a mix of Jaina and Mara vibes and I really appreciate that. Also I would die for Neel

Initial thoughts, 1. why would there only be a single credit in a magnetically sealed vault? 2. Of course they don’t have karate chop action. They don’t have karate. 3. That lawn mowing droid is my new favorite droid. It’s a roomba with legs, or a GIANT bd1. I love it.

The kids are amazing actors so far! I am so pleased with the dialogue that makes them sound like actual kids. I wasn't sure I was expecting but star wars suburbia was not it. Not sure how I feel about it but it might grow on me. The only thing I'm worried about is an adult coming along and making these kids solve their problems. We kinda had enough of that with Bad Batch.

First I love the fact that the kids speeders were equipped with baskets. Just want you might expect on a kid's bike I do think this is definitely a show that combines Star Wars + Lost in Space with a dash of Goonies just to round it off. I do have one question, why didn't they recognize the stars? I think Wim thought they were planets at first. Have they never seen the night sky?

[@JonathanMartinez-ei4up]

The way in which they smoothly transition between Goonies music & starwars music is really good. And the use og practical & digital effects keeps getting better. Though it becomes abundantly clear with every new series/movie, Disney just hates the text scroll. They just don’t want those words rolling up the screen and it always feels weird lol.
