SKELETON CREW Eps 1 and 2 REVIEW | Star Wars | THE JEDI WAY

[@thedarkknight2221]

Seeing 2 kids in a Star Wars show pretending to fight with lightsabers is the most adorable thing I’ve seen in Star Wars ever, besides anything Grogu does.

[@noahbunch52]

Agreed!

I love At Attin. It’s basically a time capsule of the 80’s nostalgia. I can easily see the treasure was the friends we made along the way.

[@Vulcanerd]

My theory about At Attin is that, b/c of the barrier or maybe their location or whatever reason, it wasn't touched by the Empire and Rebellion conflict.

[@StarWarsSquad]

Love that theory! - Smets

[@Vulcanerd]

@@StarWarsSquad Thanks Smasher! Also, I think that's kind of a hidden meaning behind "skeleton" in Skeleton Crew. It doesn't just refer to a bare bones crew, I think it implies that the character or characters as well as this universe has skeletons, ie, secrets.

[@ameliacraiig4193]

The mystery of their home reminds me of how unaware some of the inhabitants of the vaults were in Fallout.

[@alansmithee9227]

Wim’s relationship with his dad reminded of the Neverending Story and the father son relationship in that film. Gerald McRaney played the dad. I feel like it’s a direct inspiration.

[@StarWarsSquad]

I have a childhood memory of those scenes and his dad rushing through the morning making his breakfast. GOOD CALL! - Smets

[@dkarras]

@SmashCityStudios BTW, the dad is played by the lead singer for TV on the Radio. Also I concur & feel like Explorers is severely slept on in the zeitgeist. Loved that flic as a kid !

[@fredtastik314]

WHAAAAT?!?! I GET A JEDI WAY SPOILER OF SKELETON CREW?! CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY!

[@TheNerdGenReport]

The trailer for skeleton crew definitely impressed. Been waiting to see this with the fam

[@Tyler_Pifer92]

Love how they started out immediately with a twist. Jude Law’s character is actually a pirate captain.

[@Playhouse76]

The one thing leaning toward Jod Na being a legit Force user was that they specifically referenced the Force theme. I believe, outside of the Obi-Wan series, this is the only time they've used the theme in any of the shows. (I don't recall them using it in 'The Acolyte' or with Luke in 'The Book of Boba Fett' or specifically in 'Ahsoka'. Might be wrong.)

[@tanobammino2519]

Maybe a meet up with Hondo Ohnaka...which could then link to the Ghost crew?

[@ZachBobBob]

After The Acolyte it is really nice hearing you guys and the wider fandom enjoying something Star Wars again. I was really enamoured with these first two episodes it was super cute.

[@Delboy0]

Goonies in space and they pulled it off. It is great looking forward to the next episode

[@Westwoodchronic]

This show is giving "Treasure Island" Vibes... Jude Law is basically Captain Silver

[@jacoblozano1697]

One of my favorite things in life is getting surprised by a Jedi Way episode!!!!🎉

[@philrm99]

Yeah, also I really enjoyed season premiere. Love that droid bus driver 😂

[@SANTAMU3RTE]

Love the videos John. Keep up the good work. Much love.

[@badgerfan7873]

Love the Jedi Way! You three are the best. I like Skeleton Crew too cant wait for next week.

[@kennyjayhardy]

Love your work! Please don’t stop! Love you guys!!!

[@johnmackay496]

Reverse Goonies, they already live on one eyed Willie's treasure ha

[@thecriticandtheuncle5784]

The opening was my favorite part. I would prefer a show about the space pirates without the kids, but I will not yuck everybody's yum. I am happy for happy Star Wars fans. Christmas came for the fandom.

[@archiveskywalker]

For the algorithm!

[@Scimarad]

Is this place maybe like the Republic Treasury or Mint where they made all the money or something? Definitely seems tied up in the financial world.

[@ShaneStLaurent]

Brutus is one of my new favorite characters for sure.

[@ericecho5118]

IALWAYS knew Skeleton Crew was going to be awesome :) - just by knowing who was behind it. Jon Watts knows exactly what he's doing, and he's fantastic with working with stories of young people and making them likablem relatable and hysterical - all at the same time. If you haven't seen the first two episodes - WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!! Get on it. Immediately.

[@Vulcanerd]

I said this over on the ForceCenter, but if something happens to Neel, I will burn worlds down. It will be my villain/Sith origin story and it'll make what Vader and Kylo did look like a backyard bbq. 😝😅

[@glennbrown2704]

The guy getting a tattoo in Port Borgo had the hutt cartel logo. A good start to the show. If they are going to continue with shorter episodes, I hope they keep it tight and stick to the kids story. Enjoyer the series, off to a good start, hope they can stick the landing.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Who else was really hoping that when SM-33 said “There are some who call me…” he was gonna say “Tim”?!🤣🤣

[@commandZee]

Because of the reputation of mediocrity D+ created for itself I'm extremely skeptical of anything they make. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by _Skeleton Crew's_ writing and performances. It hasn't been since _Andor_ that I didn't feel intellectually insulted by a Disney+ series. At Attin? I suspect it'll be a metaphor for American suburban culture relative to the US regime.

[@coachmiller5226]

Neel is the real MVP. Loved his character.

[@BigG11082]

I am glad to hear that Kevin is a fan of Arcane

[@thaIllYankee]

Off-topic: Hey, Rocha, at about 44 minutes into this video, you mention you're gonna watch Arcane over Christmas. Don't forget to leave time for What If? S3!!! Great to hear all of the Panel's thoughts...I hope Skeleton Crew sticks the landing!

[@JohnRochaSays]

@@thaIllYankee Definitely!

[@Tware8100]

Whoohooo

[@gustavoolivieri6568]

The "wee ferryman" says _za prata za prata_ ... prata in Portuguese is plata in Spanish, and za is how Spanish and Portuguese speakers would say "the", so "za prata" is "the money!" 😄😄😄

[@kennyjayhardy]

Star Wars episode 6 return of the Jedi was released in 1983

[@kennyjayhardy]

Your guys are amazing!

[@markeuslynell]

It’s always funny hearing people say their kid can’t handle “scary” parts in kids properties. I guess I threw my kid to the wolves 🤣.

[@gustavoolivieri6568]

I disagree about the "heart of gold" of the woman, Rocha... the text leaves it very ambiguous: she can be trying to help them _or_ as is Fern's perception, she may be trying to kidnap them herself... I unadvisedly saw spoilery material on the internet (which I won't reveal here, of course) which gives me a hint on what happens with Jod and the possible Force thing. It's out there, but kinda subtle... 😅 And, anyway, we will see it soon, it is a short series: is it 8 eps, I guess? It's funny that Rocha calls Jod with the middle name (or preposition???)... Jod Na Nawood gives me a vibe of Jod of Nawood. But I could be completely wrong, and Na could be a middle name, a family name or whatever. 😉 I love Skeleton Crew already! 🙂 I hope it goes strong to the end but : I have a _good_ feeling about this.

[@kennyjayhardy]

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are very good friends and worked on each other’s films a lot…

[@JohnRochaSays]

@@kennyjayhardy Yep. We all know that. Good stuff.

[@Vulcanerd]

Wwooooo~

[@Vulcanerd]

I felt like episode 1 was like the first 15, 20 minutes of a movie where the movie/show is setting up the characters, the world, etc. And, b/c of that, I feel like it's necessary and functional (and still fun), I grade episodes 1 & 2 both a B.

[@kennyjayhardy]

They were supposed to look home made

[@daniellopez3606]

Way better than the hot garbage that was the acolyte thank you John watt 👍👍😩😩

[@MrBrownstone-l8c]

I’m pleased enough with episodes 1-2, but what exactly is original about them? From performance, to dialogue it seems all stolen from other cinematic material . Very disappointing, and a bit manipulative if you ask me . Just my opinion

[@kennyjayhardy]

Luke Skywalker was 20 years old not 13

[@water_king1]

I don’t understand the Goonies / Stranger Things comparisons at all. Skeleton Crew felt very overwhelming to watch. 👎
