Skeleton Crew Just Did Something CRAZY! Episode 5 Review, Breakdown & Big Easter Eggs Explained!

[@StarWarsMeg]

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄 What did YOU think of Skeleton Crew episode 5? ❤

[@kronos327-1]

Merry Christmas to you also Meg!

[@TeeLism]

Merry Chrysler Meg

[@anessamer]

I thought it was great.

[@DaleESkywalker]

Merry Christmas. Missed you we did yesterday. I'll take another season or series, please.

[@realalbertan]

Did Jude Law kill Erkel?

[@Lutefisk_Fettuccini]

This show is brilliant. Not at all what I initially expected.

[@brianherrera1390]

Everyone's a Jedi.... 😢😢😢 Trash

[@Lutefisk_Fettuccini]

@brianherrera1390, it’s a big, fictional galaxy. Lots of material to work with. I’m pleasantly surprised by this show. Also, we still don’t know the full details of what’s up with Jod.

[@MxPotato84]

Agreed!!

[@Darthvaderisrad]

​@@brianherrera1390Watch something else. Don't try to change SW. SW is Jedi too bad.

[@Darthvaderisrad]

Brilliant? 😂

[@miragewizard]

I get the impression that Jod is an ex-padawan who survived Order 66 and lost his way. He no longer practices the Jedi code of behavior, but uses the Force for his own ends, much like a dark Jedi. So, he may think of himself as an ex-Jedi or unaffiliated Force user, but his tendencies are towards a dark Jedi, like Baylan Skull or Asajj Ventress. That's my impression of him.

[@erikpersson2047]

I see him as what Kanan or Cal could have become if they had not meet the right people.

[@dawnkladerman598]

My thought as well ​@@erikpersson2047

[@redred1952]

Another order 66 survivor?

[@cm0441734]

This is it. He is clearly a Padawan that was lost during order 66. I have heard some say that they think he is faking Jedi powers by using magnetized gloves., but thinking through it he always has gloves on....which this being star was means more likely than not he has robotic hands. I imagine maybe him being in the temple as a youngling and Anakin slicing both hands off ala dooku. Jod clearly knows Jedi teachings which was revealed to us when he spoke about attachments. I am guessing he was left for dead at the temple, escaped off world, adopted by pirates, got some new robot hands, and now here we are.

[@erikpersson2047]

@cm0441734 He was not wearing gloves when he used the force to get the key

[@jrocketc1]

I am so loving this show. This was exactly the type of Star Wars project we needed. I just hope, if the story is unresolved, that we get a season 2 given the poor viewership numbers.

[@ArmyJay]

They’ve said it will all be wrapped up in one season because the kids will grow too much by the time filming a sequel series would come around.

[@Nitedawg1]

The exact type of Star Wars project we need is one that no one watches?

[@acostajimmy30]

The ending will come out and I don't see a reason why there will be a season 2. Yes the kids will grow up but got to have the cast back regardless. They did wonderful work.

[@johnmiller7682]

I don't think Jod betrayed the kids. He's protecting them. Look at everything they've done so far, especially in this episode. They're constantly acting like what they are, kids. Jod could probably been in and out in no time at all. The kids insisted on coming. Then, when he realized that they were discovered, he tried to rush them, and, again, they were acting like kids. And didn't realize the danger. He also realized, for them to escape safely, SM33 needed to take his orders and follow him. SM33 already stated, several times, they he goes where the captain goes. And that he would do, whatever the captain said. Leaving Fern as the captain was a mistake. When Jod challenged for the captaincy, he could have easily taken out Fern, but he didn't. He could have left them, he didn't. He knows something that we don't yet. But there are lots of clues. By the way, that skull behind the throne is 100% Hondo Ohnaka, or his species. That has something to do with the reason we didn't see what Renard looked like.

[@stop736]

Jude Law is such an awesome actor…his performance really brings a lot to this show. His character obviously is important to the story but the way the Jude Law plays him is excellent and as the viewer you don’t know whether to cheer for him or hope he gets caught.

[@CamGaGa18]

He’s obnoxious af

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

@@CamGaGa18 🙄🙄

[@Jack_MxM]

​@@CamGaGa18Were you looking in the mirror when you typed that?

[@Onasaki]

My theory, is that Jod was not a Padawan, but a Youngling during Order 66. His bastardization of the Jedi teachings, feels like he was never fully taught. Every time the Jedi stuff comes up, he's like a kid himself, with the deflections. If he wasn't just raised by survivors.

[@bursegsardaukar]

Or while growing up, he realizes the Jedi code are lies compared to the reality of it's a dog eat dog galaxy among pirates.

[@jel0sh]

My theory is that he is Palpatine's clone that got away and became Rey's dad. That's why he goes by so many different names and was wearing the helmet when he was with the pirates at the beginning and why he can use and knows about the force.

[@pcb462]

Disney has made another great show. It’s a great time to be alive! Merry Christmas to all the Star Wars fans, may the force be with you.

[@skwatson2617]

Skeleton crew may be aimed at kids but there is something for everyone in this series. From an episode harking back to 80's movies to an apocolyptic survival one and now an Indianna Jones meets pirates of the Carribean episode. The intrigue is keeping us guessing, intterested in what happens next whilst revealing stories of different worlds and charaters. This is great movie making and story telling on a level the Acolyte failed at so miserably. Well done all👍👌

[@MxPotato84]

Im 40 and im really enjoying it. Im reliving my childhood through this. Im hooked at the edge of my seat.

[@shanegingras9903]

This show is brilliant. It's better than I hoped.

@@skyrider4789 Agreed -- no way that entire group got wiped out.

[@gabrieleguasti5503]

I think just two minor Pirates are dead

[@aliwantizu]

IMDB shows him as being in 4 episodes, but I believe (and may be wrong and forgot him somewhere,) that he's only been in 3 so far. IMDB also doesn't have a listing for Pokkit (Kelly MacDonald) so it may not be fully accurate.

[@BlueMilkIntelligence]

He's not dead. He's in the image of when the New Republic forces arrive at the planet in the next episode

[@BobaFett5474]

Honestly one of the best shows with the lowest hype.

[@martincurrie6243]

Called it when it came to the secret of At Attin. I thought it was a republic fort knox/mint. The clues were there. 1. The Kids lunch money was incredibly valuable to the outside. 2. The planet was kept hidden with limited outside contact. 3. All the adults were analysts, accountants etc. 4. Remember what the kids were being actually be taught. The instructor was talking about financial flows and currency movements of various planets. I think At Attin still is a functioning mint for whoever the successor state of the republic was. The adults are still doing work for 'the republic'. The Great work continues. The real question is, were they acting as the Mint for the Empire? And who are they Mint for now? The New Republic or the First Order!

[@hezzybaby]

Merry Christmas Meg. This episode is definitely a 12/10 for me.

[@ChristopherHorricks]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays. I'm really enjoying your videos, and I have a lot more to go through, but I'm looking forward to exploring them. Thank you for the hard work and everything you've put into each video.

Jod collecting names like Deanerys collected titles 😂😂

[@Fuzzmo147]

Jod did it all for SM33…… To become Captain….He did it the pirate way, clever… He couldn’t take SM as muscle on any plans because Little un was the captain …. I agree on the “ forget them “ bit…… Pure Jedi Meg

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

"Your focus determines your reality" I KNEW I recognized that quote from somewhere.

[@ecota28]

The show has surprised me in a very good way! Initially, I watched the two-episode premiere and enjoyed it, but wasn't a priority to watch every week. However, when I decided to catch up before the release of ep. 5, the show is now a must watch! I'm still cautious, but hopeful this is the beginning of a shift to thoughtful and richer storytelling for Star Warsq.❤❤

[@heidifedor]

I think “Cthulhu” will also help the kids.

[@jedironin380]

That creature was nuts! Where did that come from?! Loved it!

[@ArmyJay]

That’s exactly what i thought it was based on : Cthulhu 😊

I am really enjoying this series. The kids are great and unexpectedly resourceful. Jod is the wildcard that keeps us intrigued and on edge.

[@TraceyOfficial]

I felt so betrayed by Jod but then I remembered he is a Pirate

[@tomradcliff6859]

Even for a kids show, Skeleton Crew has a rich, layered, tight storytelling style that is so far beyond Acolyte or really anything that we have seen from them in so many years...the writers and makers of this show have IT. I hope Lucasfilm entrusts them with another season of Skeleton Crew and/or more shows in the Star Wars universe.

[@Draegn]

It was nice to see Winn almost cut off his foot and learn that light sabers are not toys.

loved the moment Jod/Jack/Silvo/Dash/name of the week ordered the stairwell full of pirates flooded with acid, followed by offscreen screams...

[@actiongeek1]

This episode was my present to myself this Christmas morning, my first Christmas alone in over 12 years, now watching the Meg recap video while in my car, out in the middle of tranquil, peaceful semi-apocalyptic nowhere... the whole series in magical, it made me go back and give the Obi-Wan series a chance and I loved that too... Star Wars needs to be made by those with a true love of adventure, exploration, drama... leave the politics and social agenda of today out and just give us pure Star Wars fun... thank you, Meg

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

same, but a week a way from 12 years...just recently separated.

I don't understand why people say leave the politics out of SW lol.. SW is inherently political the empire are space nazis xD

[@PsionNovastar]

@@Pixelkip There is a world of difference between the themes of the original trilogy and the bigoted and hypocritical prattle of Disney Star Wars. Look at the mothers from The Acolyte and the unhealthy relationship they had. Is that really the kind of representation we should be going for?

Happy Holidays, Meg, and thanks for doing these episodes every single day!

[@arwinaBluKat]

I think Jod is talking to Whim from his own personal experience. I think Jod forgot and his family and that’s how he dealt with order 66.

[@bursegsardaukar]

Or he was betrayed again and again until he can no longer trust anyone and decided to be a backstabber himself.

[@deaconx]

I want a Jod spinoff with his own pirate crew.

[@mleadenham1]

Hell Yeah!

[@justinthewarrior9165]

I gotta say, this episode was really good. Like, I really did enjoy this episode. This episode was really good, but also really dark a little bit near the end, and first of all, I knew he would betray the kids. I literally saw it coming when I first saw him in the second episode like seriously, and when he did, I was right and everyone else in this episode to me gets a ten out of ten

@@BlueStratRedStrat who?

[@carolbriscoe9337]

First, Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day. This episode was so unexpected! Jod's casual flooding the pond with acid to eliminate the pirates after him. His turning on the children. Definitely not what I expected. Now, this is how Acolyte should've been written

[@Riiickyy]

I love this show!!! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@ArmyJay]

The big creature with tentacles in the spa is definitely based on Cthulhu. The name was really similar.

[@seangerardmagill2990]

Merry Christmas. Hope you are having a great day. Great episode. Jod is either a child of a Jedi or raised by a jedi because of order 66. He probably just knows the basic. I think Jod has did what he has done to protect the children. With this episode he has realised that the children are not ready to make the hard decisions, how powerful SM33 can be with who it's captain was and he already knew how evil the ones chasing them is.

[@mksaber170]

That's a good tbeory...especually when we keep hearing how untrustworthy Jod is.

[@sniperic1]

I think Jod is a survivor of order 66, he must have been very small and not had much training. He been on the run ever since, trying to make his life one step at a time. He never made it to the to Jedi status, so he must have been a very young padiwon. His entire world has been filled with violence, and he's used what he had to survive. His story is tragic.

[@godking]

Jod is mid to late 40s (the actor is 51) he may have been an early teen during order 66

[@djash7161]

He didn’t Betray the kids he took control of the situation as it needed an adult

[@slimbim77]

Yeah that’s how I see it, too.He did not intend to hurt her but some action was needed to convince the droid who thinks like a pirate.Anyway I‘m really excited so far.Did not expect it to turn out so well.I love that show!

[@jhank708]

I love how they let our imaginations run wild. So many ways forward and probably a few we can’t imagine. Still feels to me like they will redeem Jod Na Nawood. Don’t think he’ll ever be the Boy Scout some think he will be revealed as, but, like Hans Solo, a bit of a rogue and a bit of a scoundrel. This show has me so looking forward to Tuesday nights.

[@angelasaunders3558]

First of all Merry Christmas Meg. Second I really enjoyed this episode too. So much went on that I know I will have to watch it a second time. I think Jod is a former padawan who survived order 66, or was possibly about to become one when it happened. His force using is raw in a sense and like you said he uses it when necessary to get what he wants. Showing how disparate the parents have become was good too. I think they will find out that not all is as they have been raised to believe about their home world, and it will disturb them.

[@lalikaligopi]

[@mr_eeeez]

Definitely the best episode so far. This sets up the end of the series really well.

[@ArmyJay]

I can’t believe this show has hooked me Lol I was actually gutted when Jod turned on the kids. Yeah i agree, his mother was a Jedi, which is why he stopped and turned when the kid mentioned his Mother. Jod’s mother is dead and was probably killed, in Order 66 i expect. Maybe Jod was a Youngling, or Padwan. The still shot of a forthcoming episode, of At Atin with the X-Wing, also shows the pirate - black guy with an eye-light-tech thing, so they don’t all die in the acid. Merry Christmas Meg 🎅🏼🎄
