Bryce Dallas Howard should be given a SW feature film to direct. She proved she's legit.

[@cameronembers]

100% agreed!

[@RothsteinWordAlchemistWPW]

facts! i totally agree! she is def a Jedi, just by family alone. her dad and george lucas and steven speilberg created the universes of a generations childhood. she should definitely be given the reigns to a great SW storyline.

So it’s a couple of day after watching the fifth episode and found this roundtable. After watching this I can see why this series has been so good! They know each other and work together so flawlessly! Thank you 🙏🏼 for bringing my love for Star Wars back. This has been such a fun series to watch with my family.

[@kashifpasta8053]

Bryce Dallas Howard is low key the best Star Wars director out there. Already looking forward to her episode

[@darianharman9193]

I re-watch her Boba Fett episode. All. The. Time. The first few minutes of the episode already have your mind escaping reality, and then, we meet the armorer again. I don't know what to say about this that hasn't already been said a billion times, but this whole section of the episode took me to a galaxy far, far away. It's like you just keep sinking deeper and deeper into the fantasy as the episode goes on. The level of care that went into every shot! The pacing! She is THEE person everyone needs to be talking about right now.

[@DaleESkywalker]

Jon Watts is a co-creator of *Skeleton Crew* alongside Christopher Ford. Jon Watts directed episodes one and eight, the season's first and last. David Lowery directed episode two and episode three. The Daniels; Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, directed episode four. Jake Schreier directed episode five. Bryce Dallas Howard directed episode six. Lee Isaac Chung directed episode seven. ~Bespin Bulletin

[@lucasrosendal3420]

To put this into perspective: Jon Watts: director of the MCU Spider-man trilogy David Lowery: writer-director of The Green Knight, Pete's Dragon and more The Daniels: Oscar winning writer-director duo behind Everything Everywhere All At Once Jake Schreier: director of the upcoming Thunderbolts* movie Bryce Dallas Howard: director of episodes from The Mandalorion and TBOBF Lee Isaac Chung: writer-director behind Minari and director of Twisters What a stacked line-up

When you’re 50 you have moments you long to be 10 again. I’m quite excited to take this adventure with these kids. Bring it on!

[@digitaldevigner4080]

I am so looking forward to this show. Star Wars has always been about fun adventure. Most of what we loved from the 80’s is about fun adventure. This seems to have that. This may also be the first time my 7 year old daughter actually wants to watch Star Wars with me. That means a lot to me. She watched the trailer with me and is excited to finally be a part of the magic I have loved since childhood.

Jon Watts is very underrated as a director and as a storyteller, that's why I will always regret not having seen his version of Spider-Man: No Way Home with Kraven and Daredevil...

[@happilyevanafter]

My thoughts exactly

[@caedus0809]

You know what, I actually trust them. The show looks good so far and the creators seem to really get it, especially Watts. Having Bryce, The Daniels and Lowery also makes me happy. It could be a really fun show.

I would like to see the two hour version of this roundtable! This is, pardon my French, wizard!

[@whitnale018]

It's not a project I'm super hyped for, but I'm definitely curious. Seeing kids grow into this time period sounds very interesting. With us knowing all the history of the Clone Wars and the Civil War seeing these kids trying to navigate and find their place in all that sounds very relatable. I hope that aspect can connect with kids today who grow up in today's asinine politics and have to figure out how to understand all of it. Maybe that's not something the series will do but that's what I hope for. The fact that it's Jon Watts is also a huge draw for me. He did so perfect with Spider-Man, very interested in seeing him do Star Wars. And the Daniels? That's wild, I did not know they were working on this. Will for sure be tuning in!

[@davidfieldsend]

Please be good Skeleton Crew 🙏

[@austinartfx]

Great Show! Skeleton Crew seems like you're righting the ship. Its giving something we havent seen in a long time. A sense of actual adventure. Thats the stuff I love in Star Wars. It's Great. My Wife who has never liked Star Wars, loved the first Episodes! Loved that you finally are showing force sensitives that arent Jedi or Sith. There would be people in the universe that would touch the force like this. Good that you're finally tapping into something a bit different. That was the fun in the first two seasons of Mando. While lightsabers are cool there are SO many other stories to tell. This is just pure fun and adventure. I love the tone you've set. Hope to see more Star Wars like this in the future. BTW.... I grew up on Star Wars from OT. This IS THE WAY. This is the stuff that made Star Wars Special back then and captured our imaginations.

[@DoctorPretorious616]

I'll give the show a chance, who knows; it might be fun. Oh, and Bryce Dallas Howard is GORGEOUS. That is all.
