Skeleton Crew has perfected this...

[@madelinegarber7860]

Underrated moment. I loved seeing her finally break down and admit she has no idea what she’s doing and Neil trying to comfort her.

[@F0XD1E]

that was Wim

[@brandoncoradi9557]

@@madelinegarber7860 why do you think that was underrated? In my opinion it was dumb, obviously she’s going to be upset that they’re lost but the whole “you should’ve been captain” thing was really stupid, it’s not like “we’re having fun on an adventure!” Wim would’ve done anything better

[@Unworshipediety]

@@brandoncoradi9557 Um, I agree with the sentiment of what you're alluding to. But, in today's media for some reason be it sexism, racism, or whatever. You gotta put in the *button,* meaning if you have a female lead, she's gotta do something characteristically feminine at least once... or folks lose their minds. For me, it was written in such a way that someone in her position _boy or girl,_ would freak out a little bit once the moments finally caught up to them. The trick is trying to represent this without _taking_ agency away from said character. Here in this scene, we are 4 episodes in, so it makes sense that Fern is having a moment of doubt. To me, it plays like a young kid needing just a moment to get their stuff together. To a certain population of folks, it's a _Ok, she's acting more like a girl_ moment, to others it's _so she does have emotion besides being tough all the time._ I mean... it does suck we have to start including little things like this, but part of entertainment is you have to be sure to know what the audience is looking for and how to tailor your own ideas to fit into that matrix. I think this show is great and the writing is helping extremely to highlight the show's strengths.

Phonomenal monent with Fern. Was hoping she would let her guard down and we got that.

[@vhelixx]

I agree. A lot of people didnt like Fern because of her bossy/rude attitude, but i feel like people are so quick to judge lol, proven with said scene. All of them including Fern ofc, will have great character development

[@CraitMerc]

@vhelixx Yeah, this just adds character development. Hopefully, we get more with KB. She's the least developed I feel so far.

[@thelittleal1212]

What I like about skeleton crews characters is that they actually feel like kids, and their line delivery doesn’t feel as stale or forced as other kid characters in media or even in Star Wars. These kid actors did a very good job, and also props to the directors knowing how to direct kid characters

[@jasonking3182]

I love how this show makes the Star Wars Galaxy seem so unimaginatively huge and old with mysteries around every nebula waiting to be discovered.This is something that Star Wars has been missing since the old Expanded Universe in the 90s.

[@AR-io8fv]

I LOVE THIS SHOW AHH Only thing that would make it better is if I could binge it in one sitting.

[@ewok40k]

Fern had to shoulder the responsibility of being de facto leader. No wonder it weighs heavy on her. The show has become real gem now with great acting from kids, and of course mr Law. "Just shoot me" made me so laugh😂😂😂

[@cane6074]

It not just the writing that great and production is great, the performances are great as well, especially from child actors. They must have worked really hard to cast the right child actors for the roles. Ferns moment of weakness was great, it won me over to the character. Its shows despite her confidant, aloof, bossy and at times bratty facade she just like rest of crew deep down. First two episodes drew me in, third won me over fourth got me sold.

[@brandoncoradi9557]

What about the child actors have you thought was good? Other than Neel who is CGI lol I’ve thought most of the child acting has been awful, I’m never a fan of child actors tbh but those scenes are holding the show back imo

[@mattwellinc.8543]

Wim gives the weakest performance of them all and still has a lot to learn in the acting business. He seems to be yet another DEI hire while Fern and the others are carrying the rest of the show.

[@tonyn1628]

ep 4 is heartbeat ep. this one episode is all about the feeling you get from neel and fern.

[@Olamchesed]

I like how Fern has humbling moment and whim tries to comfort her.

[@kidf22]

I felt this episode had us really see more of so many of the characters. We see Fern of course who is a kid who always has her guard up and in a way wanting to be an adult finally reach a breaking point. She is overwhelmed by her fears and gets comfort from the last person she wanted comfort from. Neel were seeing is actually one of the strongest characters due to him sticking to his beliefs. He is placed in a situation where everyone around him is conforming to something that he knows is wrong but he sticks to his guns so to speak. He came across as the kid who is in a way a Tantor (from Tarzan) of the group who is always afraid of danger. Him facing SM-33 in destroy-mode to save his friends shows he's overcoming that to protect his friends. The icing on the cake (character wise) is Jod who is showing signs of change by his interactions with the kids. He is clearly uncomfortable by being thanked by the kids but he doesn't push it away. We're starting to see the tough exterior he has put up slowly crack. It's all wrapped up by the phenomenal acting by everyone involved, especially all the kids. These characters are really coming to life and feel so real by the emotions they are showing. I'm starting to get excited for the rest of the series.

[@Peregrine57]

That was absolutely *the* moment of the episode, and they pulled it off perfectly. I don't think Fern being the most confident character was ever going to bother me. Because she was seldom really *over* confident, or undeservedly overconfident, like early Ahsoka. She's the only one of the kids with both a keen sense of the gravity of their situation, and the maturity to take responsibility. Expressing self-doubt, particularly to Wim, who has arguably been her polar opposite in that regard, really is a moment of grounding for the both of them.

[@grubhubguy9629]

Need has so much heart. Please, PROTECT HIM ALL COSTS!!!!

[@TheCornishStallion]

I love how over the years since the sequels fans have complained about heroes being Mary and Gary Sue's, yet this show goes to show the characters as vulnerable and out of their depth more than once. It's like the writers took fan feedback into account.

[@jdrewlayton]

Or they just got some decent writers that understand characterization.

[@jhonylg4045]

[@TheOpticNerve]

I like how each of the kids are either relatable or has characteristics of a friend or classmate you knew as a kid growing up

[@jamiewhitney4724]

There is absolutely no doubt about it Fern is a Amazing actress✨✨✨😊!! she smashed it showing it’s tough at the top it even made me😭🥹💙👏👏👏!! K,B shooting is like bad batch sniper cross hair! Pow,Pow,Pow pow! 4/4!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤩😁😁🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨!! Critics can hush 🤫🤫🤫!!!

[@jacksteele9088]

I love how with this show there’s a lot of scenes that I’m nervous about being very cringy, but luckily the acting and writing is so well done that when it seems that it may be childish they fix it with realistic dialogue and convincing acting. Loving it so far.

[@deltawolf8636]

Neel is reminding me a lot Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter. Anyone else?

[@TheBingBang77]

This show is absolutely brilliant. I get such ET meets Stranger Things vibes in Star Wars, and I freakin' LOVE it.

[@TheBingBang77]

And Neel is my boy! There's something awesome about all the kids, but Neel just roped me in during this last episode.

[@Unworshipediety]

That scene of Fern made sense to me, I mean... we're 4 episodes in and it's about time for moments to catch up with certain characters. It just from like it was time for Fern to _feel_ the pressure and have a moment of doubt. Star Wars is all about that stuff. It doesn't make her seem weaker, even Wim is like... _"Yo, you're pretty good at this actually.."_ basically... without making him seem weak either. Just a great piece of writing there. Plus, that moment where she doubts leads to a revelation which is something we've all experienced in one way or another. I liken it to the keys moment, you lose your keys... you give up... then all of a sudden... they were in your pocket the entire time or something like that. lol

[@fourthhorseman4531]

Yup, ep.4 gave us some nice character development. Really enjoying this show!

[@craigwebb9318]

This show has heart🥲

[@ScyllaWyrm]

It certainly has that sense of wonder and adventure that other Star Wars shows (plus the 'Rey trilogy' and even the prequels) are mostly missing. It also has heart.

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Fern acts just like Han Solo yet.

[@naman5033]

one of my biggest pet peeves with movies/shows is bad child actors... like just hire a kid thats good at acting, otherwise its just going to be annoying anytime said kid actor is on screen. so that's why i'm SO glad this show has casted GOOD child actors

[@spartastic4]

This is a good show for what it is and I love the fact that they people who are trying to start controversy with it are failing

[@FatGuyInSpace]

I found the main kid really grating, but that scene was some great emotional growth for him. Sometimes I fear a character is dislikable for reasons that outside of the writing, but Im glad to say I think him being dislikable is part of his character development

you know, I hate DEI, forced inclusion and the like, and this show has proven something to me, that anyone that says that they're on the side of fans is just using that as a gate way to gain simpatizers for their true agenda, case in point youtubers like Dr Disaster whom I usually agree on these subjects has given this show unnessesary hate simply because it's a lucas film production, it's now even more crystal clear (been clear for me for a year) that all these channels that claim to be "on side of fans" are just as much agenda pushers as the woke crowd they're against, and yes the woke crowd is also real, but true fans should be happy we're finally getting something truly unique set in the star wars universe without connecting it to past projects, both sides of the "cultural wars" are seriously rotten to the core at this point.

[@backyardfilmz6526]

[@michaelandreipalon359]

...With quality stuff like this wading around an irredeemable mess of a universe, I really hope Disney Star Wars does a James Gunn's DCU and try salvaging the good stuff like The Clone Wars 2008 and Rebels (grudgingly admit that they're good in their own rights, no matter their numerous flaws), Rogue One and Andor, the Jedi games, The Mandalorian Seasons 1 and 2, the Darth Vader comics, and maybe this show in a matter similar to how the DCEU's "Task Force X" 2020 film and Peacemaker Season 1 are staying for that nu-continuity. Still, we can only truly prove if this show's a gem if it can stick its season/series finale's landing. If it suddenly starts falling down a la The Book of Boba Fett... *we'll have words.*

KK isn’t trying to destroy everyone’s childhood, she just frankly isn’t a proficient enough creative to be running Star Wars. People looking for political messages to be angry at in a show like this…. I don’t know, touch grass or something.

[@henninghopstadius7514]

This episode should have been about the main character wanting to leave skeleton crew. He had every reason to do so, since he now has an excuse to not turn back home. The episode should have ended with the blue elephant saving the main character in an actual battle, not against the robot. And becouse of that he then gets an apreciation for his friends sacrifial nature, and gets more motivated to return his friends home safely. Not only would it be more beutiful, but it would actually also establish a main bad guy for them to fight in future episodes. Plus did I mention that in almost 4 hours we have seen none of the actual pirate that was hunting gold in the beginning of the first episode. Plus they didnt actually show that Fern was weak becouse right after she had said "I have failed" she emidiatly figures out how to solve the problem and then doesnt admit to failure And the reason why we dont see that is becouse this is written by people who has destroyed star wars for so long, they actually have no clue how to fix it and the only reason why star wars exists is becouse it is watched by people who like the idea of star wars rather than its actual reality in the moment👎
