Error: at 7:56 you say the woman who claims to want to help them is Zygerrian. No, that is a feline species. This woman is a Theelin, the same species as one of the three dancers on Jabba's stage in the RotJ special edition.

[@Daniel-Strain]

Error2: at 15:27 the tattoo the pirate is getting is nothing like the pike tattoo you show right next to it. It is actually the symbol of the Hutt Cartel, which Jabba himself also has on his arm.

[@Buenoman.Productions]

You guys forgot and messed up on a few of references, The monkey guy that’s takes the money is a Teek from the Ewok Movies, The Cat Butterflies are the exact same little alien from Captain EO, and the tattoo the alien was getting is not of the Pike Syndicate but of the Hutt Clan

[@shaunhughes9698]

YES! I'm not the only one that saw the "ferry man" Teek From Ewoks: The Battle for Endor! Teek was his name and species!

[@andrewarrondo1253]

I came to the comments to point out the same thing!!

[@DrTachyon]

I'm surprised by the easy misses in vid too the tattoo is clearly the hutt cartel not the other mentioned.

[@christianotter0528]

He’s not heating the shield up. The residual energy from the blaster bolts is causing the metal to heat up & 33 is using it to his advantage

[@alexp601]

Yeah I thought that was instantly obvious when I watched it

[@KingPhollop]

I really loved that 33 was fighting creatively. It really reminded me of when Jack Sparrow pulled a pistol on Will and when called out for "cheating" his response is just "Pirate." Like, of course he'll do whatever he can to survive.

[@AwesTex]

That was an AWESOME detail

[@BassLineProductionsI]

Multiple people have thought they're heated and I don't understand how they don't realize it's from the lazers

[@TheVentrexian]

Yup good catch

[@jasonswinford606]

The little flying orange creature is from Captain EO at Epcot and the driver of the transport at the Pirates base was a Teek from Ewok Battle for Endor.

[@SchonMiguel-jy7do]

I was surprised they missed this too. I immediately thought the same thing. Captain Eo at Disneyland in L.A., like 1985.

[@chubbyboybeats]

I thought that was a Teek!!

[@AdultinginThemeParkLand]

Came here make the same Capt EO comment!

[@Two-Buck-Chuck]

That is the second captain EO Easter Egg. The first was the claws of the supreme leader woman in Luthen’s collection in Andor.

[@johnnywright7952]

I'm one of those yelling "That's from Captain EO!" 😂

[@andrewlawrence1834]

Good breakdown! Here are a few species corrections. The ferryman is a Teek. The tusked alien is not a Whiphid, it is a Warthog from The Mandalorian. The alien smoking a hookah is not a Kubaz, it is Hoogenz’s species from Episode VII. The alien who helps the children is not a Zygerrian, she is Theelin. The two “Kel Dor” aliens are Grindalids. The flying gerbils are direct copies of “Fuzzball” from Captain EO.

[@smookypooch]

Idk how he could've thought the theelin was a zygerrian cause they look nothing alike

[@kopskey1]

@@smookypooch Lot of species' to keep straight, and he's clearly got a very busy week

[@jjk28141984]

@@kopskey1 yeah but... This is literally why people watch these videos. Maybe they need another staff member to double check this stuff. Alternatively, I'm beginning to think they make all these mistakes to just farm for comments.

[@tilarium2]

One that you missed is that when SM-33 is naming planets and says Aldhani he then refers to it as a sulfurous bog world. Makes you wonder what happened to it after we last saw it in Andor. I can also swear I saw the Katooni at Port Borgo. If there is any place at all where Hondo could show up in modern Star Wars, a show involving pirates would be it. Man I hope we see Hondo!

[@TRONkhfan13]

I'd kill to see live-action Hondo. Any time he shows up, my reaction is either "Thank god, Hondo!" or "Oh dear god, Hondo!" In all honesty I'd've loved to see him in the final battle at Exegol and truly make himself memorable by piloting his ship into a few of the Star Destroyers.

[@studiodreamken]

It would be a huge missed opportunity if Hondo doesn't show up on this show!

[@Opreich]

It's not what happened to it after Andor, it's what it was like during the High Republic Era ;)

[@ZechariahShively1993]

Brianna was absolutely right with the Pirates of the Caribbean Easter egg, at the beginning of the held in a brig scene you can hear the same exact whistling tone as in the very first Pirates of the Caribbean movie while the prisoners try to attract the attention of Max the dog with key in its mouth, Including in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disney parks. The whole second episode was very Pirates of the Caribbean themed and even the space port with all the ships surrounding it had the same exact feel and look as the pirates main port Tortuga scene in the third POTC movie At Worlds End.

[@britishlithium2200]

Exactly

[@kronos327-1]

Atollon was the desert planet rebel base for Phoenix squadron introduced in Star Wars Rebels Season 2.

[@DarthWood6]

Chopper Base!

[@ryan_badwords]

The tattoo was the Hutt symbol from Outlaws.

[@senselessbabbledotcom]

Jabba even has this tat on his forearm! 🙂

[@joshuadecker1305]

The disilijic clan symbol.

[@Jay-Darkclaw]

sorry, but that tattoo was not for the Pikes. That was a Hutt symbol

[@TheCrispyChip]

yep that kind of annoyed me.

[@sebastian.stamour]

A lot of incorrect things in the past two videos

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

@@sebastian.stamour That’s what happens when KZbinrs are in too much of a hurry to be first with a video, they get quality over quantity confused. Then they get upset when their errors are called out.

[@josephkylerogan]

@@JohnFourtyTwo I've never seen this channel get upset when they are corrected.

[@Vader47000]

The flying gerbils aren't random aliens to add to the quirkiness of the pirate port. That's Fuzzball from Captain EO. And Neel seems to be the same species as Hooter from Captain EO, not an Ortolan. Are they retroactively canonizing Captain EO into Star Wars? I wouldn't be surprised if one of E.T.'s species shows up, just like in Phantom Menace.

[@jasonpeacock9735]

Neel’s species and Hooter are significantly different. Hooter is an adult and looks nothing like Neel’s dad.

[@michaelkennedy87]

Captian EO reboot!

[@Vader47000]

@@jasonpeacock9735 Well, Neel certainly looks closer to Hooter than an Ortolan, the big difference being Hooter has a bunch of blowholes on his nose (and a few other cosmetic ornamentations) that could easily be chalked up to intra-species variation or medical alteration. (Or something that develops later). So yes, they are different, but I wouldn't say "significantly." Of course the only reason the comparison would even come up is because of the Fuzzball cameo. Without that there's no hint of any connection to Captain EO and no reason to compare Neel to Hooter at all.

[@josephkylerogan]

If you want to see a species that looks pretty much EXACTLY like Neel, look at the Andravens from Young Jedi Adventures. And yet, Lucasfilm claims Neel is a different species. That's a total of 4 different elephant-based species running around the galaxy!

[@michaelkennedy87]

@Vader47000 robot with a peg leg, fuzz ball and hooter. That's 3 connections. Names, species and overall looks of characters change in reboots all the time. The MCU is a perfect example

[@tnshanobighost6749]

He didn't heat the shield up. It heated up by being shot by blasters.

[@KevinClark-z5s]

Fun spot: Pirate Asteroid dock - Original Millenium Falcon design, changed because of 'Space 1999' Eagle

[@gustavofigueiredo9114]

The ferry little guy is a Teek, a reference to the "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor" Tv movie form 1985. He even moves fast as the character from that Tv movie.

[@LuisAlejandro1991nyc]

also this Teek species is now canon !! hopefully we see some ewoks with blasters !!!

[@Mitsoxfan]

Reminds me of Rizzo from the Muppets. Only less of a New Yorker, maybe...

[@chrisbuek]

This show is nothing but blatant references to old media that the creators loved as kids, stilted, on-the-nose dialogue, overly earnest acting, and overly simplistic "good vs evil" tropes. It's perfect. I love it. It's Star Wars.

[@tomwellss]

Those "Flying Gerbils" are the same species of Fuzzball from Captain EO that use to be shown in 3D at Disney's Epcot Center. George Lucas helped produce the short film!! I thought it was awesome they included that species because EO was a pirate!!! REAL COOL EASTER EGG!

[@nathaniellavalley1602]

I loved the first two episodes. I've watched The Goonies countless times with my dad and this show really had goonies vibes

[@Seth_A]

Pretty sure the ferry driver was supposed to be the same species as Teek from Ewoks and the Battle for Endor if not the actual Teek.

[@BPMaverick111]

Man, Urmom really gets around. crazy they keep changing species too.

[@Durbuz94]

As a fellow Tim, I'm always happy to see Monty Python's Tim the Wizard :D

[@stevenschuyler9248]

Such a great show. Cant believe we got an MJ reference with the flying creatures.

[@1Samsonyte]

4:32 the look on Doug’s face says it all. What a good boy!!!

[@PharmD109]

Weird flying creature in the cage is the same species as Captain EO's little guy from the ride as Disney Land !

[@ScreenCrush]

What do you think of the show so far?

[@thefightoffaith]

It's real fun, enjoyed it, so looking forward to the next one's. 👍👍👍 Neels the goat 🐐

[@RingBilledSeagull]

Waiting for you to say the acolyte is better…..sellouts

[@JohnFourtyTwo]

Better than The Acolyte but that was an easy hurdle to overcome.

[@thefightoffaith]

@@JohnFourtyTwo coarse you had to mention The Acolyte

[@adamdouglas1933]

I’m loving the pirates

[@kryptonson]

I would also point out that Peter Serafinowicz who played Duane in Spaced (and was in Shaun of the Dead also) was the voice of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. And the tattoo the guy was getting is the same one that is on Jabba's arm.

[@AiXeLsyD13]

Don't forget Simon Pegg & Nick Frost did that short as R2-D2 & C-3PO, and in their movie Paul where Seth Rogan voiced an alien, there was a band playing a Bluegrassy version of the Cantina Theme from Star Wars A New Hope.

[@barabasmorpheus87]

In case nobody done said it lately: DAMN, Ryan (and scriptwriter): you’re a badazz. Make sure you have kids. This world needs more of you, homie.

[@BenjaminWalker-n5l]

The lady trying to help them is a Theelin, not a Zygerrian

[@sebastian.stamour]

Yeah Ryan isn't good at identifying species at all.

[@JenS.-pr5vp]

I will NEVER get tired of Your Mom jokes! :D

[@NeilRussell]

Doug’s Dad 😂😂😂, yeah gonna need more of that!

[@calebchristiansen196]

I also agree, the “Flying Gerbil” is most definitely Fuzzball from Captain EO and Neel’s species looks almost identical to Hooter’s species from EO. Plus, there’s a LOT of the same pirate vibe in Captain EO. I also feel like Star Wars is trying to canonize Captain EO. I’m hoping we get to see more :)

[@calebchristiansen196]

By the way, I’m totally not trying to dog on you @screencrush I just have SOOO many fond memories of Captain EO growing up. Fuzzball and Figment were my late mother’s absolute favorite Disney characters of all time. Sadly both have been all but forgotten. I still have an original Fuzzball stuffed animal on my shelf from when the 3D show first opened in Disneyland “a long time ago”… 😊

[@MaryC861]

I'm definitely hoping for more too; especially if the fan theories are true.

[@kirktrue938]

11:45 I’m getting strong Sweetums vibes watching the tall alien pirate running

[@mudman619]

We need Hondo entering a scene with "KENOBI!" Not sure how, but we need it.

[@luha3380]

Also came here to say the flying gerbil is from Captain E-O

[@michaelbrookins948]

There was a subtle nod to the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride at Disney World when the kids were put in the cell. In the background you can hear whistling that mimics the whistle at the end of the ride where the pirates are whistling at the dog to bring the keys.

[@mrcydonia]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed a Tim the Enchanter reference.

[@jgh9340]

I believe the tattoo is that of the Hutt Syndicate from "Outlaws," not the Pykes

[@RockerMicke1]

Fuzzball made a cameo in this makes scenes givin that Lucas was involved the production of captain EO with Coppola and Michael Jackson

[@danjtams]

When the kids are first in the brig, it has the feel of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Then you can hear the whistling (from the ride) that the locked up guys do trying to get the dog to bring them the keys.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

I’m really liking Skeleton Crew so far. Let’s hope it delivers on this cool premise.

[@TheStonedMandalorian]

Dude that was getting tattooed was getting the Deslijic crime syndicate symbol. Which is also worn by Jabba that you can see in Star Wars ‘77. And that one lady outside the dance club isn’t Zygerian, she’s a Theelin. Great breakdown as always!!

[@Drew_Props]

The little flying creatures at 12:32 / 16:26 are the same creature as "Fuzzball" in "Captain EO". And at 12:39 the tattoo the guy is getting is of the Hutt family crest. Same tattoo the Jabba the Hutt has on his own right arm. If you pay attention to the background noise when the kids are in the Brigg trying to get the key, you hear whistling sampled from the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.

[@ItamarMedeiros]

The kids telling the rat to pickup the keys also reminded me of Jim Carey’s character in “The Mask” telling his dog Milo to pickup up the keys (“keys, not cheese”)!

[@markostojic99]

You got my Like just for the Vicky reference. "This is the only life I know..." such an underrated line in that episode lol

[@saedo9723]

I have a suspicion that Jude Law isn't a former Jedi, but a con man. Force sensitive yes, but never part of the Order. He learned a bit on his own and just will fake it until he makes it with the kids

[@FrostFree77]

The "twin sun" theme is also known as The Force Theme which is why it's used for the levitating keys.

[@eeFiroK]

12:26 sure heat up or its hot because of the blaster shots ?

[@blakeroberts9585]

That's the Hutt symbol not the Pyke symbol

[@spectre-8]

That kid's dad is sorta DILF. Nice glasses.

[@GenerationX-WingPodcast]

That tattoo is the same symbol of the Underworld detachment of the 501st Legion, which i am a member of. Was cool to see.

[@sixstringrevolver6742]

Fun musical easter egg: Right after Whim hides his credits, and the crew heads out into the space port, the score changes to what definitely seems like an alteration to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat." Also, I like the name choice for Whim as he seems to make decisions and take actions on a whim, and is full of whimsy and wonderment.

[@jbuster9]

It's spelled Wim, but I like your take on it.

[@death_au]

I've been wanting a space pirates show for a long time now. Didn't expect it to come by way of star wars

[@joshjackson1983]

I’m loving how it’s a mix of like the goonies and pirate films

[@josephkylerogan]

Two quick corrections: 1. The Nikto pirate's name is Vane, not Thane (he's my favorite character in Series 2 of the game Star Wars Rivals), and 2. The term "Wizard" is still popular slang throughout the Outer Rim in the time of The Mandalorian (Din Djarin uses the term to describe his new starfighter in Mando season 2). :)

[@siyouardi]

The music at the start of the jail scene sounds like the whistling that the Pirates make to get the dogs attention for the keys on Pirates of Caribbean

[@KyleStevensVermont]

The alien ferry shuttle pilot who brings them to the pirate port is a Teek from Endor as seen in 1985’s Ewoks Battle for Endor the same year that Goonies came out!

[@dakewljan9914]

For clarification, when you say "Old Republic" do you mean the Galactic Republic (as in before the rise of the Empire) or the Old Republic (like Knights of the Old Republic and Revan)?

[@kenashimame]

The top of the pirate captain's hat in the opening scene of Episode 1 is shaped like an old 17th-18th century tricorner hat, like those worn by pirates in the Golden Age of Piracy.

[@Cimarb]

Jude Law plays Jod Na Nawood, and Haley Webb plays Jedi Ninaa Nawwood, who I believe is the theelin at the dance bar that tries to rescue the girls, so are they possibly a married/divorced couple and both force sensitive? Also, all of the Old Republic references should be "High" Republic. The Great Works are what they focused on in the High Republic books/comics, and include Starlight Beacon, so possibly At-At-Lan or whatever is still working on a project like this.

[@gr8tbigtreehugger]

Han went from explaining the complex math of coming out of hyperspace to doing a three count and coming out of hyperspace in the atmosphere. 😂

[@blisstrosity]

The little reddish flying fuzzballs in cages were 100% a Captain EO reference. The character's name in EO is Fuzzball.

[@krisdog88]

When the kids are in jail, did you hear the classic whistle from the Pirates ride at Disneyland?? It made me smile... like there were other pirate trying to bait a dog with abone like in the ride. Rad.

[@Guernicaman]

One observation, tho... Jod might just simply be a Force user. Not necessarily a "Jedi". Also, he might not even be a Force user, since he could be tricking the kids by using magnets hidden away underneath his sleeves. You see this happen in the Doctor Aphra comic. Jod could be a 15:36 scoundrel/conman. This could explain how he got captured & didn't escape his jail cell till now.

[@michaelarroyo01]

00:45 When they say Old Republic, do they mean before The Clone Wars, or do they mean OLD Republic, like over 1000 years ago old?

[@Mitsoxfan]

Old Republic era is the OLD Republic era. You may be thinking High Republic. Which sort of actually jives with the blueish outfit of the uppity teacher lady.

[@Kurrama69]

I think the scene where the kids are trying to get the thing to get the keys is more like the scene from pirates of the carribean ride. The movie scene that she points out is a nod to that as well.

[@MagicShoez]

The hat on the center table in the captain’s quarters looks a lot like Cad Bane’s/Old Republic Scoundrel with his gun belt tied around it.

[@lampy5490]

"Wizard" as approving slang was widely used by the RAF in WW2 and percolated into the Dan Dare stories in the British 1950s comic book The Eagle.

[@MisterFurious32821]

How could miss that Captain EO reference?

[@spectre-8]

I would say he was rushing to get this out. and writing the cringe product placement segue. and blinking a whole lot. he's busy.

[@Jirizo1]

15:44 missed the fact that they also used the same whistle you hear on the pirates ride jail scene

[@everythingyounerd]

The Little “Puppet” guy that takes them from the Ship is the same species as TEEK (Rodent) from Ewoks Adventures! He even “zooms” away when they first meet him. AND the “flying gerbil” is FUZZBALL from Captain EO! the show at Disneyland and DisneyWorld with Michael Jackson! I’m surprised nobody caught either of these!

[@duaneherndon6736]

I really like the show, but one question.Why didn't he grab a key before the kids got there?

[@spectre-8]

I'm not sure if I got that either.. if he's a jedi.. just jedi outta there? why does he need the kids

[@danjtams]

@@spectre-8 My very uneducated guess is that the main thing he needed was a ride off the port. If he just escaped on his own, he'd still be dealing with a port full of pirates.

[@Zynnix]

I only remembered 'wizard' from the High Republic novels as something Ram said all the time, so the expression is at least that old.

[@themostlyamazingjojo]

The pirate port they went to gave me huge "Hook" vibes. When Robin Williams character arrives in the pirate village they have in that movie.

[@endforareason]

the little guy that helped them when they landed on the pirate planet reminded me of Teek from Ewoks: Battle for Endor.

[@Moonbeam143]

I really want to see that video about Urkel. I just know it'll be great.

[@JackQSmith]

The ferry driver was the same species as Noah's sidekick (Teek?) in The Ewoks Battle for Endor.

[@jeffreymackay4343]

I feel like even the Empire had no idea about the planet, seeing as they were using Old Republic Credits on the planet. Almost makes me think that even the adults on the planet have no idea about what was going on in the rest of the galaxy.

[@TheVentrexian]

The guy getting the tattoo was an awesome easter egg for folks who played star wars outlaws lol love that game

[@senselessbabbledotcom]

The guy getting the tattoo was an awesome easter egg for folks who watched Return of the Jedi lol love that movie

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

14:39 "I think it's played in a minor key (on a cello)". Yes, correct about the cello bit, but that section of the Binary Sunset theme is already in a minor key, and the only time it was somewhat "ruined" and/or made hilarious was when it was heard by classical musicians-and-Star Wars fans in The Last Jedi when it was put into a major key. Most of the minor key music in Star Wars has been parodied and posted on KZbin (changing from minor to major) circa 2007-2013.

[@Daniel-Strain]

You only need 14 pounds/square inch of pressure to contain an atmosphere. Plastic is not very safe, but for a short trip in a low radiation area of space it could work. In real life, there are designs for an inflatable space hotel (probably much sturdier materials lol).

[@LTBudd]

I believe the pirate ship will be identified as an Incom X-class transport from the High Republic era. The front is similar to the T-47 and the rear the UT-60D. The "wings" are also similar to the Incom X4 transport. I don't think Jude Law's character is a Jedi. I think he has the capability of using the force, but had he been a Jedi he likely would have used those ability to discern the truth of whether or not the captain was being honest about the vault

[@EraBerry]

8:00 pretty sure the woman from the club is a Theelin like Rystáll Sant from Max Reebo's band / Latts Razzi from Boba's old bounty hunting crew, not a Zygerrian.

[@DarthArachnious]

The perfect isolated planet reminded me of the colony on Miranda from Serenity.

[@usuckthereturn]

The credits had the imperial insignia. More than likely, the world cut itself off close to the start of the clone wars. That’s more precise than before the empire.

[@GabrielVelez]

Fuzzball, the furry flying creatures we see in the cage in this episode, was from Captain EO. So since they made this creature canon, does this mean that Captain EO is now part of Star Wars canon as well?

[@davidtibbitts4009]

The pirate asteroid is similar to the ring of kafrane and the dangling feet are similar to Pirates of the Carribean.
