SKELETON CREW EPISODE 8 REACTION | FINALE | STAR WARS | REVIEW

[@Mon21209]

Jod didn't get initiated on 66 day, he was found and recognized as high potential by a 66 survivor. She was killed by, assumedly, inquisitors.

[@Heavensrun]

Yeah, he said she was ragged.

[@moodswinggaming2972]

I think you're bang on about Jod at the end. He see's that good can win. His character is SO good, so nuanced. We'll see more of them all, or its a bloody crime !

[@betaich]

I think Jod is what Ezra could have been if they didn't win again the grand inquisitor

[@pauld6967]

@moodswinggaming2972 Yes indeed. Wonderful nuance, like when Jod deliberately avoided stepping on 33's pet.

[@sadadokis2709]

KB said the same as the Battledroid 'Did we win?' XDDD

[@JacobRed-q2w]

But KB got the answer “yes!” And the battle droid “nope.”

[@KaosPoet]

Not just you, but a lot of the reactors seemed to miss that back a number of episodes ago, SM33 said that Rennard (sp) was killed by his concubine. Not to mention the one skeleton had the dagger in the gut that was how the concubine did it. Was never expecting to see him.

[@Omn1Media]

I guess I misunderstood, I thought the concubine stabbed one of the mutineers for some reason!

[@angelasaunders3558]

Yeah so many reviewers and comments missed that point. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sw-gs]

@@Omn1Media That skeleton who Jod found was that concubine. Rennod pinned her through stab to the wall with that dagger and he died at her feet when ship crashed into At Attin.

[@robpreston5692]

I'm guessing a lot of people missed it because the story told by 33 was immediately followed by the "What's a concubine?" line that kind of pulled focus away from what was just said.

[@Ingeneious]

I don't think I missed that so much as I thought it might have been a misdirect and 33 was reciting what was told to him.

[@RDDall]

Loved this show so much! They need to keep Jon Watts and Chris Ford working on Star Wars projects! They get the heart and soul of Star Wars. That magic was back. I felt like I did as a kid in the 70’s and 80’s watching the OT and all the Amblin movies.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

Skelton Crew was totally incredible! This series was absolutely so much fun! I’m repeating myself, and I don’t apologize for it. Every time you start and finish a STAR WARS series, my absolute favorite part is when you sign off with, “May The Force Be With You, Always” I love it so much because I know that it’s 100 percent genuine. Thank you

[@wallykingsborough5811]

Captain Rennod is the skeleton with the knife. The other skeleton was his concubine who stabbed him. All the rest of the crew died like SM-33 said.

[@agresticumbra]

I thought from the time we first saw the stabbed body that it was most likely whoever the head honcho was, so when SM33 told the story, it confirmed my suspicion.

[@colindonnelly9121]

Yessss someone else noticed this thank god hahahahahah.

[@Skye_Writer]

I gotta give you a thumbs up just for the "Kneel before Jod!" line.

[@ianterrellbrown]

Those mini death stars have been featured in animAtion but this is their debut in live action. You can see them developed and tested out in season 2 episode 7 of Star Wars Rebels "Wings of the Master. 🤙

[@johnosullivan1480]

Neel’s roll was epic!!!

[@reeferman42078]

My favorite character hands down

[@Heavensrun]

Remember, in the Post Empire Era, the Republic is just referred to as the Old Republic. The "Old Republic" doesn't refer specifically to the time of Revan et Al, it includes up to the prequel era. I think the planet was *hidden* before the fall of the Empire, but it wasn't *lost* until much more recently with the rise of the Empire. Palpatine abandoned At Attin to be run by the droids, but he notified them of Order66 just to make sure no Jedi could shelter there.

[@kaygee2121]

I loved Fern's reminder that amongst all the awful they saw in the galaxy, there was still good as well. A true storybook ending to real adventure 💖

[@Dravakin]

Love that shot of Jod looking out the window the look of someone who’s lost it all after being so close to having it all. I also think there a glimmer of hope, like maybe he’s a little glad the pirates are finally gone and he can start fresh Also I got the vibe he was trained post order 66 which is super interesting and not a good time to be a Jedi. I would love to see more about a younger Jod

[@reeferman42078]

I absolutely need to know what happens with him next

[@WiqidBritt]

I think Jod may have been found after Order 66. He describes the Jedi who found him as desperate and ragged, which seems unlikely during the war.

[@MrCookieCat]

Can you imagine the Republic task force calling back to Coruscant? "Ah, we answered a distress call from the lost planet At-Attin." "Yes it's real." "No, we are not drinking spoiled blue milk, it's real." "We talked to Captain Fern and everything."

[@crimsonghoul8983]

Forget that. Now, the New Republic knows about an Old Republic mint existing out there in the galaxy. How would that impact the galaxy?

[@coreymoore2719]

​@@crimsonghoul8983 in theory it should give the new Republic a hell of a lot of money.... But it would also caused so much inflation that it would probably crash the Galactic economy.... It would be like Mansa Musa visiting Egypt, so much money it's worthless.

[@BonnieRe52]

I am confused. Captain Rennod was stabbed and killed by his concubine. Why was everyone theorizing that he would be the supervisor?

[@ludos1963]

Because faking his death and keeping a massive treasure would absolutely be something a legendary pirate would do lol

[@Heavensrun]

Ever since Darth Vader everybody expects every character to be some kind of reveal.

[@kevin-2.1]

Those B-wings are suppose to work like that, it was shown in starwars rebels.

[@vlasta002]

People should give this show a chance, because it was a fun and definitely not a bad one! I hope we get a second season (especially with that finale that hints us there's more adventures to come)

[@undeenwrites]

Loved your reaction to this entire series & your end thoughts are always on point! Thank you for being a shining light in the reaction community. Really hope we get either another season, or more of this in future. Pure joy! ❤

[@betaich]

Jod is what Ezra could have been if Kanan and the rest of the ghost didn't survive season 1

[@BioDoesStuff]

i admit... i'm a grown ass man who cried happy, nerdy tears when two freaking B-wings appeared onscreen for a couple of seconds.... oh how i've missed them ❤

[@GattsBerserkArmor]

So Jod was the padawan of a Jedi who survived the initial purge before the Empire killed her right in front f his eyes. Also that smile at the end. Was that a Eno Cordova moment: "hope will always survive in those who continue to fight" ? Like is Jod happy to be proven wrong? Also what a open ending. Really makes me thinking they are hoping for a season 2.

[@reeferman42078]

I... HOPE... you are correct

[@chewchillathewookiee3515]

Back in the day, the Old Republic just meant that the Republic was so damn old that there really wasn't any recorded history of something before it. The way Ben tells Luke about the good old days before the Empire, and the first paragraph of the 1976 novelization frame it that way.

[@seed4212]

now this is star war side story we want more...

[@joluoto]

I think Tak Rennod stole the Mint Ship about the same time the Republic fell, which is why the Empire have never come to collect credits, they simply never could get in.

[@clarradactyl7791]

i loved hearing your analysis and review of this series. i think you’re spot on about the symbolism of at-attin’s barrier and the parents protecting the kids from the dangers/realities of the world and life itself. skeleton crew was SO GOOD! it made me feel like i was watching star wars for the very first time as a kid. i hope that we keep getting fresh star wars shows like this where we see stories from a new POV.

[@agresticumbra]

Considering how many generations were hidden from the world on At Attin, it's not like the parents were doing something out of the ordinary with their kids. This was the culture. Wonder if reintegrating into the galaxy will end up being a bit of a challenge for many residents, after being entrenched in such a society for so long.

[@jayburn00]

Goes from close encounters vibes to independence day vibes lol.

[@chewchillathewookiee3515]

Tak Rennod is a weequay. You can see enough detail in a few frames to tell. The skeleton pinned to the wall with the knife had to be him. Jod even stared at the skeleton for a while like there was something interesting about it. Then he asked, "what ship is this?" as if he suspected it was the Onyx Cinder even then.

[@LordGavial1138]

7:38 I think, what the rest of the galaxy called the "old Republic" is the prequel Republic Not the "Old" Old Republic As the Republic they are in now is the "new" Republic.

[@hannahawesome85]

Grest reaction! I love this show!!! ❤ I think Wim's dad had fun for the first time in forever and that's kinda sad. I wish we could have gotten an answer to what happened to Wim's mum. It's not important to the story but it would have been nice. The kids and Jude was amazing. I hope we'll see these kids in other projects. This has been so much fun!

[@thegreatjedi309]

In-universe, B-Wings have always been capable of that Death Star beam attack. Hera and Sabine brought the first B-Wing into Rebel service and attacked the Empire with that very beam attack. There's no on-screen use of it ever since coz, well, RotJ was produced in the 80s lol

[@Cjohnson725]

I think Tak Rennod was just the dead pirate on the ship with the knife in them.

[@aviakidos-lobitos2398]

This should be shown on Christmas and Holidays..🎉

[@EagleFangBasketball22]

I never knew that the Supervisor was actually a droid itself. It was shocking that the Supervisor knew about Order 66 and the Empire. At least Jod was able to destroy it. Overall, it was really a great series finale.

[@Dark_eVader]

Tak Rennod made a recording about the At Attin being a mint and plating the hull with armor before he was stabbed by his concubine and had the ship crash that killed the rest of the crew so he never was able to make it alive to the hidden planet. The skeletons in the captains quarters where Jod got the knife from one was the captain and his concubine.

[@GingerGeek7567]

I love this series, skeleton crew was such a treat ❤ looking forward to binging the whole thing !!! So so Good 💙 Neel is so cute.

19:49 isn't that a B-wing heavy assault starfighter first introduced in Star Wars rebel, season 2 episode 7 ?

[@CarlosGilMj23]

He made the Jod da Dumbledore move with his light saber wand 😂

[@DarthTingleBinks]

I'm pretty sure the "old" in "old Republic credits" simply refers to the credits being old, not that they were from the Old Republic.

[@hughjness2555]

It’s not really clear when At Attin is from. It doesn’t make sense if it was immediately pre Empire bc of how isolated they were, plus a 20 year old currency wouldn’t be that valuable. But if they were super old, why are they still connected to recent republic broadcasts?

[@crimsonghoul8983]

@@hughjness2555 Probably because the Republic pre-empire never changed the frequencies as time went by? Why would they if there was no need to?

[@ianterrellbrown]

@@DarthTingleBinks but the credits weren't old At Attain was the mint for the Republic. They made new credits. That's Jod said the pirates would have an endless supply of credits because they would control the source.

[@DarthTingleBinks]

@ianterrellbrown In Star Wars, currency is essentially a galaxy wide thing. When the Republic fell, there were Imperial credits. When the Empire fell and the New Republic took its place, there was yet another galactic currency. Skeleton Crew takes place after the New Republic has been founded, and the Republic itself is far older than just the prequel era. In fact, the High Republic era isn't a different Republic. It's the same Republic, just much older. And any credits from that government, regardless of when they were made, are considered old. But also extremely valuable.

[@BaronesaReturns]

He would have gotten away with it IF he didn't betrayed the kids and brought them to the planet himself alone, and he would have left the planet a very very rich man... he just needed a bit of patience

[@RealBLAlley]

So the Supervisor is a giant R4 head. Not on my bingo card.

[@Renkencen]

19:51 Kinda? First time they used those laser on screen was in Rebel with the prototype version. Thing is, if you look back to episode 6 Return of the Jedi, you never actually seen them in battle of Endor scene before seeing them with the fleet when going to hyper drive. What it was is that in BTS, the B Wings were animated/ render weird during production at the battle scene so they had to removed the ships in the final scene. Technically they could have used them in battle properly in The Rise of Skywalker but nope!

[@NelsonVlog66]

[@PaulKlak]

Jod is what Ezra would have become if Kanan was killed in episode 3 of rebels. It's possible for Ezra to meet Jod now, which would be an interesting storyline. Oh, or I could see Mando taking the bounty on Jod. But before taking him in, Grogu recognizing the darkness in Jod. That would be an interesting storyline too.

[@latech7671]

I think it is far more likely that Jod was discovered by a Jedi on the run AFTER Order 66 (given how he described her). Interesting is, that everything of modern StarWars somehow goes back to StarWars Rebels: Jod is basically what could have become of Ezra if during the first season of Rebels Kanan (and the others of the Ghost Crew) would have died EDIT: Wow, based on something you said later in the episode it might be that you haven't watched Rebels (or you simply forgot about an episode). If you haven't watched Rebels I would highly recommend it. I think it is a great show (except for some more serious moments that aren't that well written/directed) and it has so much world building, especially for basically every modern StarWars Project (even this show) EDIT_2: Just read that you did watch Rebels but forgot that episode. Shame, I would have loved a Rebels reaction by you but ... I do remember you had a lot of great Rebels knowledge in Ahsoka but I was not sure if you just knew that without actually having watched the show

[@CC-iy3ko]

Hey Omni, ive had your Dark Reaction playlist saved for a long time waiting for the best time to binge it, and damn it was amazing, have you done any rewatches of it in your own time, its like a while new show, they make sooo many references to later events it's cool asf, if you havent you should when you get time, i know you reacting to alot, but just whenever it slows down

[@Riconort]

I dont think Jod was recruited before order 66, he says the jedi who found him was just as raggen and desperate as he was, so she was probably a survivor of order 66 and was now on the run in hiding when she found him. And when he says "they hunted her down" i beleive he was referring to the inquisitors. Edit: just watched the discussion, and you bring this up. However i dont think jod couldve used the force to get himself out of the airlock, he knows the basics, but he definitely doesnt have mastery of it or else he couldve prevented them from pulling the lever and opening the barrier.

[@greentechgiraffe]

Only one issue with what the Supervisor said… if the last thing the Republic said to this planet was “Order 66” than isnt that after Episode 3 so the Galactic Empire was run by the emperor. Why wouldnt they still want to use the mint? At least until the end of episode 6 when it became the New Republic?

[@Omn1Media]

I think they only got that because it was broadcast system wide, likely on every known channel so they may have gotten it without the Empire knowing of their existence.

[@greentechgiraffe]

well then who was in charge of them is the real mystery if not the Republic themselves? Thanks for the great reaction… what a great series it was!!

[@SergioLeRoux]

It was probably only on a need-to-know basis, and whatever agency that knew about At Attin was destroyed by the Empire takeover. Plus the Empire didn't seem to have a use for a Republic mint since they switched to imperial credits anyway...

[@joluoto]

My theory is because they lacked the ship, because Rennod stole it, they lacked the coordinates because Rennod and Sm33 destroyed them on the other Mint planets, and they lacked the Emissaries who knew how to get there, possibly because they were Jedi. The other Mints seem to have fallen though, I think the Empire got to those, but just emptied them, destroyed the barriers and the equipment and left. Remember the Empire reformed the currency, so they would not need the Mints to remain operational. Also on At Achron it seemed the Supervisor was a person not a droid (the statue), which means he simply might have followed orders and let the Empire in, while the droid Supervisor on At Attin ignored it, because was not from the Republic, and thus it was not programmed to aknowledge.

[@janekfilipowski9119]

This episode was great but I feel like its lacking an ending.They didn't show us what happend to Jod(Was he caught?),or establish the ,,new normal" for the kids after all they've been through to close out this story.Also we didn't see any major consequences for destroying the Barrier and reavaling At Attin to the galaxy and I doubt we will in the future if this show doesn't get renewed

[@robpreston5692]

In a way, I kind of liked that they didn't answer those types of questions. They wrapped up this self-contained story. If there is a season 2, that creative team will be able to, more easily, take the story in a direction that flows better with what they want to do. They can be the ones to decide what happened to Jod immediately after this and how the galaxy copes with this new Treasure Planet. I'm glad they didn't canonize things like that haphazardly now, that would later have to be written around to tell the next adventure.

[@daurydavis3983]

Than let's hope there's a second season

[@ryanm.907]

The kids and these civilians were not and he showed A LOT of restraint even ordered his people not to harm them. Brutus ordered those kids dead almost immediately.

Example 1029393 on why reactors dont pay jack s**t attention to what they're watching......no reactor has understood that SM33 clearly explained in dialogue episodes ago what happened to the old captain and how he was killed by his concubine. I feel like reactors used to actually pay legit full attention to the movies they reacted to, but now its just become the norm to focus more on their own performance for the camera instead of paying full attention. At least that's how it appears or comes across to me most of the time. I used to get super annoyed, but now i just think about how its more sucky for the reactor, because they miss out on great nuances or fantastic dialgue bc they are too busy talking or focusing on their own "performance"

[@sw-gs]
