"Skeleton Crew" Episode 7 Review: How is this so good?

[@WillieHoule]

It's almost frustrating how everytime Lucasfilm makes a side project that no one care about or doesn't deal with any Legacy character, they actually TRY

[@KetsubanSolo]

I think it's cuz when they use legacy characters, it becomes an issue of too many cooks in the kitchen (ie: executives get involved and demand XYZ), but stuff like Skeleton Crew has less at stake so they give them more wiggle room

[@lance7909]

@@KetsubanSolo nah it’s just the teams they have working on those other projects have zero creativity. Don’t give them excuses like executives and etc. since we don’t know if any of that is true but we do know things like Filoni wrote every single episode of the Ashoka show and that was the most boring show I’ve ever watched in my life, imma blame the actual people who made the show for that…

[@LukiKruki]

​​​​@@lance7909 Because that Ahsoka series requires understanding previous animated projects to highest degree. Its first season was focusing on introduction of new things, not on expansion of existing things.

[@lance7909]

@ NO. I’ve watched all of Clone Wars, Ashoka is my favorite character in all of Star Wars. I won’t talk about Rebels because I think that show sucks as well and it actually contradicts The Ashoka show (the whole Ashoka the white bs..). But tell what were they setting up? When you watch a tv show it should be able to stand on its own and tell its own story. You shouldn’t have to look at a bunch of supplementary material if that’s the case then the show is incomplete by design and that’s just lazy storytelling…

I didn't mind that. But in a way, it was my only SLIGHT issue with the episode. I would have preferred if Fern just claimed the ship and then 33 knock out Jod. Only because 33 has been pretty consistent with following the pirate code established in the show. So seeing him break it did throw me off for a moment. But I didn't mind it and I love the show SO MUCH that I felt fine letting them have that one and get right back into loving it.

Skeleton crew is excellent for what it is. As impressed I was with Andor's storytelling, Skeleton crew captures the spirit of SW adventure perfectly. If you ever were a SW fan, watch it.. seriously

[@TufteMotorsport]

Thank you for recomending this show over so many videos. I gave it a shot this weekend and I loved it! I had no plan to watch it what so ever initialy, as I got so burned out by SW. I really enjoyed Mando and Rouge one, but the discourse and The last jedi/Rise of skywalker just made me feel sick by thinking of star wars. It is just like bad cafeteria food, you know? But Skeleton crew is like the end of RotJ where the force ghost are smiling at you. This is a great homage to the works of Lucas, Spielberg, Colombus and all the other great stories we got back then. Love the homage to American graffiti as well. Funny how this show geared towards children are more mature than the ST in many ways.

[@CMCustom112]

Great acting and Pretty fearless to let Jod go full Villan and threatening to carve them and their parents up. I do think Jod knows his home planet, he said it tastes like ashy dust.

There appear to be two competing theories regarding the Supervisor's true identity: 1) It's Tak Rennod. 2) It's a just droid/computer program. What if it's both? What if Tak Rennod survived the crash/mutiny, but due to his injuries, most of his original body was lost and he's now a cyborg like General Grievous?

[@cheeseknees9606]

Wim's actor has great comic delivery for a kid. He can bust out with such childlike silliness, and it's totally natural.

He’s a good actor. He knows how to be annoying in the story without being an annoying character. All the kids are good. Usually, I hate kids.

[@jtszabo1691]

Neil’s quote on adventure struck a chord with me because that’s how I felt as a kid wanting to go on adventures and take risks. I always liked hiking through my friends yard, he lived in the country and their house was surrounded by woods so we’d pretend we were trying to get back home from Endor

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

The most important thing I can say about it is that it didn't feel short.

The way that boy Jod holds a lightsaber, he probably spent no longer than 3 months as a youngling.

[@Solo13508]

To be fair even if Jod was a Jedi up until Order 66 (I don't think this is the case but hypothetically) it would've been decades since he's seen a lightsaber by the time of Skeleton Crew. Either way he probably wouldn't remember much of his training with it.

I actually loved the “unclaimsies” moment in Episode 7. It was a great character moment for Fern as she claimed the ship “for kids only” and ordered 33 to get the pirates off “OUR ship” not “MY ship” thus demonstrating her growth as a leader and team player.

[@hotspur1974]

A fantastic crafted series! I eagerly await the last episode

[@kdusel1991]

Aye!!

[@Solo13508]

I'm still fully on board with Tak Rennod being the supervisor. I think next episode he uses the cannon that we know is built into the school to shoot down the pirage frigate when Jod calls it down to the planet. Rennod's been sitting on all these credits for potentially hundreds of years and is definitely not about to let another pirate gang swoop in and take his score.

[@MrJustwatchin9]

@@Solo13508 I felt that maybe tak found love there, forsook his pirate life and found peace and happiness on at attin. It could very well be him but it was also a long time ago so his species lifespan could render him out of this equation. But he could possibly be taks offspring as well and could be in possession of his old hologram messages. I’m anxious to see how this ends up.

[@Mord12gp]

I don't think there is a Supervisor. The message they got was automated. No ones come to that planet for decades. And Tak could be a republic rep.

Jod lashing out is interesting. "You're the worst" to Wim - perhaps he sees too much of himself in the little boy pining for his lost mother? He did show some sympathy twd the boys in ep4 - even hugged them. Then what Wim spoke of in early ep5 may have hit... a little too close to home. Still think there's a significant mom in that backstory. May explain a lot about his behaviour w women. He does come off as a narcissistic/manipulative character w grown-up women, while being cold and hostile to (and a bit afraid of?) Fern and KB, neither of which he can manipulate. Nevertheless, StarWars is so much better when it dares to go dark (and "aim for the kid(s)").

[@blackshogun272]

Bro might see something he never had a chance off experiencing as a kid when he's around the children; a decent childhood. Treachery and greed have groomed him into what he is after everything changed at the conclusion of the Clone Wars.

I was almost really angry at the unclaimsies moment but I've come to understand that Droids can develop personalities and I don't think 33 likes Jod.

[@marcthunder]

They're aware of the outside galaxy. The adults KNOW they're in hiding. The adults know what the barrier is for, and why it's in place. The supervisor as a droid makes sense, especially since the mine is running on the same program for hundreds of years. I believe ships USED to show up and withdraw credits, but it's stopped a while ago.

[@mudman619]

My Snoke (Jod) theory: he was a Jedi youngling who was captured by pirates at a very young age (harkens back to the Clone Wars arc with Ahsoka & the younglings dealing w Hondo's pirates), except he was never rescued & harbored bitterness & resentment against the Jedi for never coming to find him (like Ventress).

Love this episode. I was worried when I heard that Jude Law signed on and that it had him acting with kids. I was so wrong. The acting is great, the story is believable, and the creature design and sets are excellent. Like Andor, Skeleton Crew brings us back to what made us love Star Wars.

[@rikp]

It was quick, but when Brutus was grabbed by the claw it looked like Jod Force-released his manacles. That, to me, says he could have used his Force ability at any time, he just chooses to hide it and use his power of persuasion, which we've seen is practically boundless (and Jude Law really sells it).

[@MrJustwatchin9]

Sm-33 punching jod best scene of the episode.

[@LumVaughan]

Something has got to be up with Jod -- for example, why would he don his silly helmet again once he gets back in the good graces of the pirate crew? They know already who he is and it wasn't needed. I thought there would be a reason why he was acting like that, but I think he's gone past the point of no return on turning back to a 'good pirate' guy at the end. Cutting off 33's head, killing Brutus when he couldn't move and most of all scaring the hell out of the kids with the lightsaber and hinting that he'd hurt their family. He's too dark now to be easily explained if they wanted to in the last episode. It was a bit of a surprise, though, as I thought they'd have him have a change of heart by the end and unless he's been controlled by an outside force or this is some changling that has taken Jod's form, I can't see how they could explain his evil actions. The wonderful mystery of the treasure planet has held up extremely well into what will be the last episode. Acolyte writers, take note of how to do a proper mystery that keeps fans fascinated. The whole set-up the planet and the mint leaves so many questions. First is who is in charge of minting a zillion Old Republic Credits and for what purpose? Even if this is some sort of tie-in to Palpatine's minions in TROS, to explain how the Sith Eternal could afford to build 1,000s of Star Destroyers, it wouldn't really make sense as who would they pay with these old Republic credits, anyway? Wouldn't that flood the market with old currency (or more accurately, coins)? If the credits have an established value not based on precious metals (and they look like they're gold, but if they aren't actually gold, silver or platinum) then wouldn't a sudden influx of thousands of ancient credits in new condition strike the New Republic authorities as very odd? Unless the Sith Eternal melts down the credits into bars or something, it would be weird, especially since it would be a currency from a government system two generations old. The Empire had their own currency as did the New Republic, so Old Republic Credits would be as odd as someone paying with a Morgan Silver Dollar (in mint condition) for a purchase today. If instead, the operation on At Atin is simply a supervisor droid that never got the memo about historical changes, then clearly that mysterious pirate captain figured out that he could pose as an representative to pick up a cash shipment. The Onyx Cinder's outer shell was merely a disguise to hide the ship he used in the ruse. Since dead pirates were on board when the kids found the ship, some struggle ensued and I wouldn't be surprised to find that this captain is living now on At Atin and may even be the supervisor or something like that. The thing is, if there are over 1,000 warehouse sized rooms to store the credits, it looks like the Onyx Cinder would not have been able to carry very much at one time, so that pirate captain would have had to make a bunch of runs back and forth and surely the droid 33 would have told the kids about all of this. And if you were hauling millions of credits on a ship, you'd expect it would have been armed to the teeth and heavily armored like a Star Wars version of an Armored car. The Onyx Cinder only had one or two gun placements on it (plus the big grabbing hand, I guess). I guess we'll all find out what happens next week, but whatever the outcome, this series has been far better than The Acolyte in all areas and Jude Law has shined in his mysterious role as Captain Silva/Crimson Jack/or whoever he really is.

[@TrueKoalaKnight]

Damn good series, can't wait to see how they wrap it up.

[@michele5223]

It was pretty cool to get a glimpse of an Old Republic mint.

[@jaktek4242]

I’m going to predict that Jod will discover that he is from At-Attin which will turn him.

[@twincast2005]

My predictions for episode 8: Jod claims to be a Jedi hero who has saved the children, relying on his earlier threats, so that they play along. A droid informs him that the supervisor won't come to meet him, but they can take him to the supervisor instead. Jod insists on bringing the families along, so that the children won't blow his cover out of his sight. Everything seems to be going well until te frigate gets shot down by Chekhov's turbolaser gun on top of the school. It turns out that the supervisor is Captain Rennod, as the camera focuses in on his symbol he's (vainly) wearing somewhere on him (clothes, signet ring, anything) right before the frigate gets shot, and its meaning gets pointed out by Jod or one of the children to the viewers and everyone present right after it goes down. Rennod actually tries to kill everyone, so as to keep his secret, but Jod protects them, further confusing the children. (My take is that he might harm innocents when he deems it necessary to get his riches but definitely not when it makes no difference to his fortune one way or the other.) The parents find out about the New Republic and decide to openly contact it. The two X-wings swoop in, as Jod manages to escape with anywhere between a single datary and a cargo hold full of old Republic credits, but most likely between a literal handful and all his pockets stuffed with as many credits as he can fit in them. Some months later, we see the children settled back into not quite their old lives, as At Attin society deals with the upheaval of connecting their planet back into the wider galaxy. And maybe someone mentions that a huge influx of old Republic credits would crash the market on them, although I expect the New Republic to simply adopt these unearthed riches into their currency system.

[@blackshogun272]

If we're gonna be real, the amount of credits needed to economically crash the galactic market would be absurd. Yeah, all that cash flowing into a singular system or sector would be horrific on their economy but across EVERY world in the known galaxy? Nah, gotta have hundreds of credit stacks higher than Olympus Mons.

[@drdwaynecuster]

The voices of the At Attin droids sound just like Lama Su from Attack of the Clones. There's no voice credit for Anthony Phelan though. It's actually Matthew Wood who also did the Battle Droids in Clone Wars. Every time one of the droids spoke, I kept picturing Lama Su. LOL!

Skeketon Crew brought me back to Star Wars. I’m in love with the show. It’s simple, fun with a bit of magic and the story is well written. Yes, like Star Wars should be! Because of Skeleton crew, I have finally watched Andor and my God it’s a masterpiece. But more than anything, watching my 3 daughters screaming at the TV to yell at Jod was the best. Wim is so much like me when I was a kid, that’s just what I needed. I’m 52, saw The Empire Strikes back on the theater. That show brought me back to that sweet time. I can’t wait for the last episode. And my kids too. And btw, thanks Thor for the safe space you have created here to share our love of Star Wars.

[@YayoHernandez-b1j]

Look my friend Thor Skywalker. I still have have faith or trust the guy will change because He was trained as a Jedi and Jedi never lose their way. Because they were always peacekeepers. And he has it even if it's a small. piece in his heart

[@mattramos5822]

I would have been cool with that, but after this episode I think it would be hard to pull that off nor do I really want to see that. But hey, you do. And if they do that, I hope they do it in a well crafted way!

[@erikbradshaw225]

Don't think jod is coming back to the light. Piece keeper, or keeping pieces 😂

[@YayoHernandez-b1j]

@@mattramos5822 you could be surprised

[@KetsubanSolo]

Unless At Attin's leader is like some really evil dude that Jod has a personal vendetta against, he's probably not turning good.

[@danpshop]

At the start of the series I was convinced he’d have the “heart of gold” and help the kids in the end but now I’m not so sure. One thing I am sure of is that I trust this show to pull off either direction for Jod’s character as they’ve nailed pretty much everything else.

[@erikbradshaw225]

Great episode loved the dark moments. I think Wim wasn't seeking adventure just didn't feel he had anything to go home to unlike the other kids, until he saw his dad's message. And fan theory jod backstory reveals him to be darth plagaeus😂

[@ArnieH8]

Et Tue, Brute? It feels very star warsy to have a cool side character die so unceremoniously. No epic battle between Jod and Brutus 😢

[@blackshogun272]

Really wanted to see Brutus go ape shit on Jod and straight wash him in a 1v1. Wouldn't mind if the brutality finally ended with Jod using the Force or a mistake being made on Brutus's end.

[@ThinkAga1n]

While this episode was still short, it didn’t feel that way because it kept me engaged the entire time. There wasn’t a “slow” moment and it really sets up the suspense for the finale next week

[@bluedingo1186]

Who else yelled LEROYYYYYYYY JENKIIIIIIIIIIINS when Wim attacked?

[@shadowgophr5269]

With the whole "Take backsies" moment I was expecting Fern to have instead been like "fine, we claimsies the Frigate then" and then profit in the "No wait!" confusion to take back control of SM-33.

[@londond9800]

I had very low expectations going in. But this show has been a real treat and gotten better week over week. What I find odd is that the marketing efforts were just so sub par. I wasn't excited for Obi Wan, but the trailer was great so excited (then disappointed). Here it's been the reverse. I thought the trailers stank but the show is great. You hit the nail on the had in that what this show proves is that a great SW show can have new characters and places, but nor have yoda or Luke or anyone else. That's what Disney need to do more of. Give us a cool rogue one movie, or something about the chiss: move beyond the ight against the empire and do something new.

[@PaiSAMSEN]

I can't get over how good Onyx Cinder look throughout this episode.

[@theartofpqh]

I'm glad we're back to watching good Star wars again on tv. That's all we ever wanted

[@alexm469]

I'm actually enjoying this show way more then I initially thought i would because it's not like obiwan where liea somehow got away with being kidnapped etc it feels like these are real kids in the show not just plot protected characters and jude laws character is amazing I'm so glad they doubled down on him not being a han solo type character where deep down he's good makes the stawars universe more diverse and not just filled with good people all the time

[@woffortniteperson]

when SM-33 got killed off I said, "so THATS why SM-33 wasn't in the LEGO set..."

[@seanjudy3002]

And just like that, they kill the best character in the show. Reminds me of K2SO in Rogue One. Thanks Disney!

[@woffortniteperson]

@@seanjudy3002 Yeah, Hopefully they are able to repair hom tho, not like K2S0

I have a crazy idea that the Supervisor is the original pirate who found At-Attin.

[@TaintedPeter]

You mean theories that thor and everyone has said. Super crazy idea lol

[@dankokamcevski]

@TaintedPeter I haven't heard him say it tbh and I haven't been reading up on theories

[@hakimzane]

What was up with that mural in the office with the parents? I couldn't tell if it was Jedi based or not.

[@mudman619]

saw that also, definitely a clue of some sort

[@cd5sircoupe]

Speaking of the Pirate Code, that's been one thing they have emphasized over a few episodes now in different scenarios. I gotta admit it was pretty funny seeing Silvo get no backsies'd by SM33, wasn't expecting that one. He had been relying on the Code up till that point and well... We the audience aren't being shown & told certain things just because they're cool, there's a reason for everything that they put on the screen in this series.

[@oddjobtech]

Checkov’s gun, totally.

[@cd5sircoupe]

@@oddjobtech Chekov dropped a lot of shit in this series that's for sure. The next one's gonna be the planetary defense turret that Hayna showed Neel on her planet.

[@HighHeelKnight]

This episode was all kinds of awesome! I am a tad disappointed that we never got to see Brutus straight up fight somebody though. Oh well. Now I hope Jod doesn't make some kind of redeeming face turn at the end. Excluding Darth Vader, once you've kidnapped and threated children and their families for profit, there is no turning back. There are villainous actions that absolutely shouldn't be overlooked or forgiven, and no amount of loveable rogue charisma should prevent such a character from a dismal fate.* I also hope the next episode will be a definitive end. It's not because I don't enjoy the show. In fact, it is because I love the show that I don't want it to be ruined by additional seasons. I'd welcome seeing the characters again in the future in a totally new movie or new series. However, I don't want Skeleton Crew II: Rennod's Revenge and Skeleton Crew 3: Senior Yearbook Committee and Skeleton Crew: The Rise Of Red Tape. * A major reason why I stopped watching The Walking Dead was because the series slowly switched Negan from a ruthless antagonist to a complex antihero. That's just so wrong!

[@sandal_thong8631]

Yep. I don't want to see him escape justice.

[@cagiesthread1032]

Starting to wonder did the first order get their hands on these credits to fund their mass growth

[@darthmop1]

Jod won't make it alive from that planet, He will go down with his treasure

[@jamesodebralski4484]

Im really enjoying this show, like really. I understand people boycotting disney star wars, but then i think. As a supervisor i want to let my employees know when they are doing well. If you only talk to them when they are doing bad you build this wall and work isnt enjoyable for anyone. When disney star wars gets it right and we want them to continue getting it right. We need to show up and tell them, "This, this is what we want from you." If we dont show them there is profit to he made giving us what we want, maybe.....just maybe we will get it.

[@peterbaxter463]

Enjoying this show so much and I am pumped for the last episode next week

[@trollsnrats]

BADASS EPISODE the visuals.... holy crap

[@MaryAntonia-tc9rv]

You are on the right track! I know what you mean by saying that it would have been different cinematically back in the '90's or '80's.. I remember seeing a video of the Dtar Wars specials that took place on Endor and some of the video that someone has released on KZbin of the Holiday special and they were a product of their era. Hopefully we will get some more seasons.❤

[@achaudhari101]

Come on Jon Watts, finish this show on a high note (Both in terms of it being good but that he’s the director of the final episode).

[@JackQSmith]

The whole "unclaimsies" thing was dumb, but the lead up to that might have been even more dumb. SM-33 just got done saying that Jod couldn't be captain of both ships. Then just as Whim was going to claim the ship, Jod claims it? But he doesn't say he forfeits captaincy of the other ship or name its new captain? This seems like a case of two dumb parts that basically cancel each other out. They could have left both of those dumb parts out and end up at the same point.

[@RogueWJL]

I started watching the show last week, and completed episodes five and six yesterday. To say I am impressed is in understatement. The five leads are incredible and the story /scope exceptional. Very magical, episode seven this evening!!!

[@nah7656]

I was at first saddened by the shortness of the episode, but yes, it was perfect. Before i watch: this is good due to good character development and good mystery for the audience. mystery with regards to jod and at-attin and all the great child actors have been awesome with their own needs, wants and dreams. i love that wim is always trying to be a hero... i know he got to be one by helping KB, but i think he might have more of a moment in the finale. I do think jod is a force user but i think he has been so scarred and so hurt by his own childhood that he resents the children and or resents the way he feels towards them and their seemingly nice home. I dont know about others, but i have often been jealous over my younger peers and their upbringing. I also wonder whose blade he has, but it's a shoto blade and he seems to use it a bit sloppily. i like that they foreshadowed that he would be a bad guy and the show kept him as such. i do think SM33 will be able to be fixed. Personally, I also don't thin the supervisor is human either, i was thinking a separatist tactical droid but i dont think that may be so. again, there is still the mystery of at-attin and even the parents said the kids were not to know until they graduated. oh and i think the music composition is great! i love the more pirate like theme when they are in the show, i love the ending music, etc. the composer did great. sorry for some stream of consciousness, i just enjoy your insight and i love to add my own.

[@BcBTheta]

Man this is up there as Star Wars best show, it’s been amazing all throughout. It’s gonna be tough deciding my new top 3. Acting from the kids and jods incredible performance has been the highlight. The cgi has also been mvp

[@ItsBourbonNight]

[@coronbrown9238]

I’m actually hoping Jod makes it out of this. I feel all this is a front to really get this score. Cause let’s face it. This is like the “final” heist for him. As far as SM-33. I love his switch up. Being a Pirate Droid already. Can’t really fault him doing something sly of hand. Like siding with kids. It’s a classic “ can’t trust pirates “ also someone mentioned it. But he does say “ oi, close enough. “ meaning he’s literally looking for anything to side with the kids.

[@WhittaKEE]

You are definitely not crazy, this episode and the whole show, has been amazing.

[@madhattersc4051]

The characters have had time to develop, none seem to have jumped their journey to some inexplicable end. What is satisfying is there has been a good amount put into building a foundation for many new stories that all are engrossing and can eventually, if desired, be tied to other storylines within Star Wars. There doesn’t seem to be a rush to do that where others have failed (ehem, Acolyte).
