"Rennod" is "Donner" (as in, Richard Donner, director of "The Goonies") spelled backwards.

[@AwesTex]

My favorite part of the episode was Neel and Wim continuing to talk on their comms devices when they were in the same room. Lol…this show doesn’t break out the comedy much but when they do, they absolutely nail it

[@darscer5682]

That.. was your favourite part..? Of the whole episode?

[@Knightowl1980]

Oh I think they’re doing light hearted comedy very well

[@Remix26]

I’ve never been so bummed out that some people took a holiday. I feel like a jerk but I just love these videos so much lol

[@ZachStrong-yu2tu]

Fr 😂

[@juniorramirez3153]

LITERALLY😹

[@MothershipCreative]

Agreed! Was very bummed not to see a breakdown for Creature Commandos E4!

[@MikeC-e6k]

I think Jod has a good heart, but is used to doing bad things to survive. The captain challenge is b/c it’s the fastest surest way to win the day. He’s a kind hearted scoundrel.

[@martinc2450]

We love you Ryan...and Doug!

[@Zakk_Zero]

This totally made me feel better (and not more confident my theory): Jod's turning against the kids was not what it seems. At the end of the episode, as I was initially sad and mad at his turn, I went back and re-watched the last scene. When he stood there thinking, it was if something clicked in his mind, and came up with a plan. I am admittedly biased and an optimist, but now I'm thinking that scenario sets up a much, much bigger payoff than if he just did in fact turn on the gang.

[@GoodVibes-yv7il]

I'm super excited for this breakdown. I hope Ryan and Doug had a fantastic Christmas.

[@wirelessaeon]

0:50 I love sneak preaks they're my fav.😆

[@71Chevelle1989]

The only review and breakdown that I wait for. Truly great information.

[@ScreenCrush]

What did you think of the episode?

[@VincenzoAlfano-mt7kf]

PLS do breakdown episode of what if season 3 PLS

[@ziggiezaggie]

one of my favorites!! 🤩

[@conscientiousobjector5988]

Haven't been able to sit through a full episode. It's not really trying to be Star Wars so...what's the point?

[@spencerpalmer4961]

Heartbreaking.

[@markslima1557]

An excellent episode - this series has far exceeded my expectations for Disney Star Wars content. Love this!

[@richpeltier9519]

The big question in swimming in my head at the end of the episode is, how long ago did that ship crash on At Attin and did no one noticed when it did?

[@jeffs6090]

It was buried under several feet of dirt with a full grown forest on it. That would mean over a hundred years at least, I would assume. Though, that doesn't seem to match up. 🤷‍♂️

[@spencerpalmer4961]

I love how the episode gave us Indiana Jones vibes because of the avoid traps, solving riddles, exploring ancient buildings, the surprising twist, the suspense, and making sure you get the right treasure.

[@rothsshvili5125]

My predictions: 1) Jod was once a Jedi padawan yet he dropped out before Order 66 2) Supervisor is in fact the imperial remnants who are in need of constant supply of the old republic mint to fund their secret operations

[@kingbooomer9231]

I think the Supervisor no longer exists, and is simply ran by droids to maintain their instructions for eternity. Until At Attin is discovered by the New Republic and covertly usurped by the Sith Eternal through the Banking Clans

[@kopskey1]

2 is possible, but unlikely. let's say you had access to a bottomless supply of old currency. Well you'd need to go to and from the planet to bring in new, raw supplies to mint it, Do that without anyone on the planet noticing, and spend those exceptionally rare and valuable coins without anyone wondering "Hey, why do you have a bottomless supply?" People will catch on, and your game is finished.

[@drdarko100]

Did anybody else notice the Scoobie Doo Homage where they first chose to split into teams with Wim and Neal aka Scoobie and Shaggy volunteering to search the Buffet 😂

[@AiXeLsyD13]

Brilliant catch! 😂

[@DLR329]

One of Jod's aliases is Crimson Jack. I decided to Google if a crimson sparrow was an actual bird and it is! In a round about way Crimson Jack is basically Jack Sparrow!

[@blazeazurin]

The fact that this is all about pirates and there's not a single mention of Hondo is a crime.

[@Asmuk]

Not really. First, let new stories be told without mentioning old characters. Second, Hondo's character is annoying as hell.

[@TRONkhfan13]

⁠You shut your mouth. Hondo Ohnaka deserves all the respect

[@AverageJoe483]

I want Dash Rendar

[@Jaymcq]

​@Asmuk first, what you said firstly makes no sense. A simple mention would suffice. Seconds.. that's your opinion. Lol

[@sayntgeorge]

One of the kids looks like Davey Jones! Love it!!

[@DLR329]

Wim on the far left when they got off the ship! I immediately thought the same thing!

[@deedeetransformer9]

Yes, I noticed that too. ❤

[@anodracr]

I’ve got a theory regarding The Skeleton Crew show that I want to throw out there. I think that Captain Rennod is still alive and hiding on At Attin. In fact, I think he’s the one they refer to as “the Supervisor.”

[@FallenGemini]

I am thinking that 33 is Rennod with a self-inflicted memory wipe or alteration.

[@ricksherman34]

I think he would be too old to still be alive. Could be 33...? 🤔

[@al28854]

i think Jod is former Sith apprentice and he's going after his old Master for revenge, also Rennod is backwards for Donner the OG director of The Goonies. .... and then later with Superman and Lethal Weapon..... and before all of that the director of the Twilight Zone in that classic episode with William Shatner in the plane.

[@anodracr]

@@FallenGemini That was another theory I had, too.

[@anodracr]

@@al28854 Cool Easter egg!

[@MichaelWilliams-ke6dx]

That Old Republic money is like the old currency ppl collect here on Earth. Its worth way more then the current currency. Considering that the pirates were shocked at how it was in mint condition means one that pristine is worth a shit ton of the new Republic Credits. So a infinite amount isn't necessary

[@cameronklein7980]

The line "don't touch anything" is shot for shot a call back to Indiana Jones

[@al28854]

''Nobody touch nothin'' - Sergeant Apone, Aliens (1986)

[@dondonovantv]

This has been my favorite episode so far. It really felt like a movie. Every character grew. It looked beautiful!

[@RobynsMan]

The pleasure yachts resemble duchess satine’s from the clone wars too.

[@mikeontheisland]

"Trapped in his TV" means you're spending Christmas vacation at his parents' house. Look at that chair. Tell me that's not from your grandmother's old dining room set!!! Anyway, kudos for providing me my content fix during the break. It doesn't go unappreciated.

[@sonrichard76]

You can't see the Pirates face on the hologram I'm confident we can all agree on that, but we do get a fairly good(ish) look at his hat, I'm certain its the same hat Wim was wearing as part of the disguise.

[@BusketRVA]

Here's some fun Six Degrees connections for this episode. Jude Law is friends and former roommates with Johnny Lee Miller and Obi-Wan himself, Ewan McGregor. Both Miller and McGregor were in Trainspotting and Trainspotting 2 and with the great Kelly MacDonald, aka Pokkit, from this episode. Jude and Kelly were also in Anna Karenina together. Now Jude, Kelly, Ewan need to get Johnny Lee Miller into Star Wars ASAP lol

[@BlackShogun]

According to the audio we heard, Jod presumably ignited the lightsaber when the credits rolled.

[@austinmcclintock4574]

Still holding out hope that the Hutt in this episode is our favorite little Hutt boy, Stinky. 😅

[@WBSlashH]

This episode had the 2 best jokes in Star Wars. When they tie 33 down to protect themselves and he easier shows he can break through it at the end. And Wim igniting the saber the wrong way lol

[@al28854]

KB was pretty quick with that wrench though

[@PapaRoo-t7w]

I'll bet we saw the old sith writing on the walls and didn't see the captain because Rennod is actually one of the sith race

[@markadams7046]

Doug doesn't understand that people go into restrooms to drink toilet water?

[@COMMONFOLKMUSIC]

I love this show so much! You are absolutely not trapped in a tv. PS I told my mom stop bombing your awesome videos 😂

[@LexUniverse]

isn't it weird that we don't get an actor of the pirate captain (at least on IMDB)? in addition not seeing his face?

[@SuperStreetWarrior]

@LexUniverse according to StarWars Wiki, Colin Follenweider was Tak Rennod's Performance Artist.

[@al28854]

FYI: Rennod is backwards for Donner the OG director of The Goonies. .... and then later with Superman and Lethal Weapon..... and before all of that the director of the Twilight Zone in that classic episode with William Shatner in the plane.

[@darththeo]

I love how we have yet another Disney Princess in Star Wars now.

[@CliffRoth]

The captain is the ‘rat’ that lives in 33’s eye.

[@AiXeLsyD13]

I hope this is canon. 😂

[@mosesdelacruz5754]

I loved this episode, it was way better than last week's

[@ElGatoBlanco1970]

@6:25. Now you are getting it. Skeleton Crew was the first step into the eventual Rebranding of The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. ( Disney is done with Depp, no way do they keep a ride, that was defaced and replaced with animatronics of him throughout? The show literally re-created more than a few of iconic images from the ride. Imagine Sm-33 as the Narrator on the ride and it really falls into place. If it isn't, it is a wasted opportunity to keep Galaxies Edge relevant.

[@davehillard1591]

You mentioned it, but the line "Your focus determines your reality." Seems to indicate Jod learned this from the Jedi. Probably as a youngling. And yes, even taken as a child, he could remember how his home smelled... or, when he was rescued by Quinlan Vos, his adopted planet could have smelled bad. And, he became a pirate in direct contradiction to the Jedi. So, as he was never fully trained, he is not a jedi.

[@AiXeLsyD13]

Maybe he was "rescued" by Pirates, like a whole Peter Quill/Yondu thing?

[@ff9230ff]

I think Jod is a force user, u hear the humming sound when he uses the force

[@spitflamez]

Bro, a droid would not have a concubine or be able to get knifed in the back. Clearly Jod. is a force user, he is quoting their teachings

[@WonkoTheSane71]

Jod’s clearly a force user with Jedi training. He’s done far more than just attract things - using the force to block Fern’s attack this episode is just one example.

[@josemaiz1651]

Merry sithmas

[@ziggiezaggie]

I was just looking for this!! 😆

[@victorpena5217]

It makes sense that jude laws character would have been young at the time of order 66. Maybe these kids' ages or possibly a touch older. I think its helped him relate to them throughout the show.

[@thealjohnsonshow2188]

This episode got surprisingly dark at the end. If this is what Jake Schreier is cooking up with Thunderbolts, I can't wait for that film. Can't wait for next week's episode, directed by Bryce Dallas Howard.

[@kevthepoet]

There's something abstractly more horrifying about someone saying I'M stuck in a TV but I don't know so please don't tell me than THEY'RE stuck in a TV. I'm stuck but don't tell me implies a multiple personality and that one aspect of themselves knows things the other shouldn't, it's kinda scary but hilarious.

[@MeanderingSlacker]

Hear me out. Pirate Yoda

[@Knightowl1980]

I tried to see if the kids dressed as the elders look like references to other pirates in pop culture bc Wim looks suspiciously like Davy Jones from POTC with the hat and pleated face scarf

[@chriskinney-hermes5286]

The heavy spoilers bit is sending me 😂

[@dr.stephenstrange8471]

The screen crush cinematic universe just got interesting

[@NoPawn]

Oh wow! I didn't even recognized Kelly Macdonald all!

[@ElMundoDeHadesOK]

could Pokkit be Umbaran??

[@55giantsfan22]

Im liking this show so much

[@peterbui3733]

The tricks being used to wipe droids short term memory and disregard settings is like the recent stuff people do to trick generative AI and LLMs by telling them to disregard the rules set and do what the user wants anyways.

[@RealAndySkibba]

Really fun episode.

[@ricksherman34]

It's possible Jod was a younger Padawan when Order 66 went down. He's about 40 yrs old which places him around 9 or 10 when that happened. Similar to Kaanan Jarus. So maybe he was partially trained as a Jedi...? 🤔

[@Tigerpanzer6666]

i made a really big laugh when they landed

[@samanthathrower8069]

Anyone else noticed how one of the kids costumes resembled Davie Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean?

[@achannell362]

More Heavy Spoilers crossovers please!!!

[@embarcadora]

I think Jod is more powerful than we think, he can totally wield the force by pushing the object Fern was going to hit him.

[@InsightUnseen626]

The Heavy Spoilers team up! Pure gold! 😂✅

[@dominican200]

Funny if in the next Star Wars movie, we see a new alien species called your mom

[@jordanma75]

Easter egg - I think when the kids are in there disguises Wim is Davey Jones from pirates of the Caribbean

[@73uproc]

Even the music was Indy inspired

[@joechip1971]

Anyone notice KB seems less reactive to danger when her visor is down? Does it act like a pair of Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses?

[@dipdapadventures6306]

Yaaaa Ryan!

[@captcardwell3398]

That ending got me hahahaha

[@Mando44646]

a lot of this episode felt a lot like Indiana Jones too. With the pirates chasing them through the traps like the Nazis chase Indy. Or not touching anything, like in Indy

[@nodatastored684]

*My Theory* : he is either Jaybo Hood from Clone Wars and the Father of Rey with Omega or the Son of Sidious and Qira from Star Wars Underworld original plot, and the Father of Rey with Omega, from Bad Batch since Rey and Omega have the same accent

[@Guiltypeach]

Why/how would 33 make himself forget At Attin? And why wouldnt he know where his own data port was?

[@joechip1971]

Yeah, not buying that theory at all. A droid captain wouldn’t likely be the stuff of pirate legend.

[@wahn10]

Being trapped in an ancient TV really brings out Ryan's blue eyes. Just sayin'. And his apprentice Doug is cuter than ever!

[@oliverforrest4488]

I believe they are setting up Luke Skywalker to face off against Jod Na Nawood. 1. Jod is a force user. 2. He has a freaking lightsaber, and what is anyone gonna do against that. 3. It will be a battle between Jedi philosophies. This is not just a story that has vibes of 80s, 90s, Spielberg, Goonies, E.T., Stranger Things, POTC, and Treasure Planet/Treasure Island too but it's mostly inspired and has elements focused on Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan. Jod is the Peter Pan and Captain Hook in this story. He won't grow up and move on from his past. He'll do anything to get it back. It's not just about the money it is about retrieving what he lost because he's mentioned he's a lost child in episode 3 and was a huge hint about him of what he once had. While Luke is the new and better established Jedi than the Jedi of the prequel era. His new Jedi Order has love in it now, and it's not devoid of emotions or disregarding like what the Jedi Council was teaching the Order in the Prequel Trilogy and The Clone Wars show. He's made peace with his past that he's the son of Darth Vader and has overcome the Dark Side. He now spreads Hope.

[@beacon-313]

I thought that white bounty hunter was Aura Sing, or at least her species.

[@AiXeLsyD13]

Wait, did you call that Checkov's lightsaber? Are we mixing franchises?

[@BenjiSavage-i8j]

If you want a better brit to replace this end bit, I have a dog called cosmo who wants to be Dougs mate and I volunteer as tribute

[@austinmcclintock4574]

DOUG!!!! NOOOOTTT AGGAAAIIIINNNNN!!!

[@samrichens2962]

8:58 What about when the Mandalorian said wizard

[@wingman-1977]

That werewolf species appeared in the animated Clone Wars series as a Jedi.

[@rockstribute]

I'm sure Jod is a Jedi, I don't think he's a faker. I think he escaped the academy as a youngling. Possibly in Grogu's flashbacks. Grogu is around 50, Jude Law in real life is 51. I know that real age and character age can be completely different. Just seems to make sense to me, especially seeing as Mando, Ahsoka, SC are all meant to taking place around the same time heading towards a shared future

[@sandiaYpescado]

catch the last name of og oeWilly dude is Donner backwards?

[@zakforsman]

Has anyone pointed out that "Rennod" is "Donner" backwards?

[@iankane1733]

Generic-Villain Paul is terrifying! Did you see how he slapped that man then threatened to “give him a fresh one”? Ryan and Doug have their work cut out for them.

[@FelonFitness]

I love your videos except for one minor detail: the “trapped-in-a-tv-we-don’t-know-it-so-don’t-tell” us schtick is getting real old. But hey, I love 99.5% of your content so … keep on keepin on.

[@BruceBergman]

Colton ogburn has Christmas off? 😁

[@GregorLindner]

1:16 - Has anybody tried to compare the score to te score of Terry Gilliams "Brazil"?

[@viviorko]

The dog looks different

[@scottszala6756]

wouldn't it be hilarious if the bug in 33s head is in charge.

[@al28854]

I thought Pokkit was an Umbaran

[@NoamKaiser]

Paul Tweddle's acting is still better than anything in the Acolyte.

[@francissobotka8725]

Captain Donner will turn out to be related to Neil.And the mint is no more.

[@furyfuzionz9228]

Your magnus theroy doesnt make sense, if he could move metal... hed be able to use it against a droid.... made of metal....

[@kennethchia4194]

Kelly Macdonald's first role was as Diane in "Trainspotting," Ewan McGregor's extremely underage girlfriend

[@markadams7046]

Why would planet, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away be named after an Earth general named Scipio?

Bro how can you leave it the Muun Plageaus Banking guild connection.

[@The-Story-Assassin]

Wow, I didn’t catch a single Easter egg from that episode. And to all you guys who caught every single one, there is no way you have girlfriends! 😂

[@matthewLkidder]

How in the world do they go from poorly acted and written Acolyte or this masterpiece of a show?

[@Tigerpanzer6666]

its also a very waffen-ss 11:25
