It’s cause it doesn’t have enough agenda pushed into it for Disney to really want people to see it.

[@SKIllITY20]

Same with andor. Only promotion I’ve seen from both of them(outside of myself searching it up on Star Wars page) has been from KZbinrs(I’ll constantly scroll past accounts I trust posting good things about them) and reviews that have actually gained my trust by just being genuine. Tbh if Jeremy Jahns likes it, I likely will too. Best movie critic on utube imo. I think it’s especially safe to say something is good when the film communities on KZbin, I’m thinking of channels like “a closer look” or even less serious stuff like cinema wins/sins are analyzing shows like andor for both how they were good stories and worked within the universe it’s being told in. Edit: it’s “the closer look” not “a”

[@misterFutile]

Its a refreshing change from the blandness of Andor

[@goatellbeckham1816]

I don’t understand how you see andor as bland. It was a combination of great writing and acting with great plots and scenery. It gives such a good background story to the rebellion. The only part that felt slow to me was kid cassian. Other than that it Felt more starwars than anything else Disney has put out since rogue one.

[@misterFutile]

@goatellbeckham1816 the story was slow, especially in the beginning and full of some very repetitive writing and uninteresting characters. so much so that the writers literally gave the security character who was hunting Andor THREE recycled scenes of him eating cereal in the kitchen with his mother/aunt, as if they didn't know what to do with his character or arc. There was about 6 episodes worth of quality content that was stretched out to fit a 12 episode order. The series was colorless, void of any real Star Wars visual ties until around episode 5 or 6 when we finally see/hear storm troopers & tie fighters in an era that was supposedly at the height of the empire. The series was severely human-washed, without a single recognizable alien species from previous films to help make the series feel like it's even in the same universe. The series essentially revolves around the least interesting character from rogue one, and Andor's bland, lack of charisma didn't do the series any favors. Remove the "star wars" opening title and rewatch the first 3-4 episodes and the general audience wouldn't even know it's Star Wars. In my opinion, just because its intended to be a more "mature" story people act like that means it was a good story but it wasn't. A few well written lines, and a couple decent new characters was all the series has of value. It has absolutely no re-watch value.

[@shrapnelbmg6267]

The idea that some Jedi youngling or Padawan turned to pirating for survival after order 66 is actually pretty interesting to me. Maybe he was taken under the wing while still a kid by some pirate captain. Perhaps saved from some stormtroopers or something and just fell into it and figured it was a perfect cover to hide his origins and avoid the Empire since pirates were already practiced at avoiding government. Plus who's gonna suspect a Jedi would hide amongst pirates? Eventually he just fully conforms to it, yet still retains some of the basic skills and ends up Captain til the mutiny happens. He stays in the prison because he's got little hope of getting anywhere, until he learns of these easily exploited kids with their own starship and a way off the rock.

[@SpiderboyN2Jesus]

Yeah, I think Rebels was going to be pretty much that at one point. I have an image I found of the youngling characters from Clone Wars (you know the episode where they found their lightsaber crystals in the ice caves of Illum) as pirates. It's clearly some kind of promotional character layout with the Rebels logo on it. I've wanted a show about that ever since I saw the image. The idea clearly being a show about those younglings becoming their own pirate crew to hide from the Empire after Order 66.

It doesn't mean the boys are always misbehaving and/or have no discipline, but from my observation and experience, young boys are more likely to be a bit more immature and silly than young girls.

I hope they figure out why Andor and Skeleton Crew are Tier 1 cause I’m not sure since I don’t have all the details of what has happened behind the scenes. I suspect it’s cause they’ve prioritized elite filmmakers and getting out of their way. And prioritized making a great story first.

[@creaturefeature123]

Love that you put andor in tier 1, cuz I totally agree

[@zCyReaps]

just got done watching this. its a perfect mix of treasure planet/goonies/star wars i am so happy with the atmosphere. i felt like i was in star wars the entire time. like you said the aliens and not just humans and the speeder scene in the woods. so nostalgic

[@ijustwantedausername]

Totally got the Treasure Planet vibe too

[@CataclysmDM]

It was all right. Very childish, obviously not intended for me, but... I didn't dislike it. And I enjoyed some bits.

[@lukeharris7870]

My dad a few days ago was like: Hey check to see if that Star Wars KZbinr thinks this new kid show will be good. I was like: ok dad I think he’ll like it 😅. He’ll be happy that this video is out now…

The New Hope originally named just Star Wars is without family drama, is just whiny teenager Luke wanting to escape his boring life into some adventure. At that time Leia wasn't his sister, Vader wasn't his father, these all were added and recontextualized later. The Skeleton Crew is really just modern version of Star Wars, New Hope.

You proud of yourself? Just bullying directors by making parody accounts?

Thanks for the watch. 50 secs of this vid was enough to convince me to go watch it.

[@JaredSloger]

Loved the first two episodes and callback/easter eggs to Jedi and the Ewok films.

[@nachtmuis4776]

I liked the captain EO / Michael Jackson reference in this show!!!

[@socstud0]

So far, so good.. has that 80's kid adventure movie feel (like ET, Goonies, Flight of the Navigator, Cloak and Dagger)

Never Ending Story

I’m looking forward to watching this later with my 4 year old son and 16 year old daughter. Sounds like something we will ALL enjoy 👏🏼

[@austinforgie1069]

Imagine it's gonna throw an acolyte and ruin it

[@TerryOnTuesday]

Happy to see John Knoll and Doug Chiang in the credits, but as with a lot of Disney SW, I missed astromechs, protocol droids etc. I still think Wim might end up having his mind wiped and become Trooper FN-2187.

[@stanzieackermann7139]

It’s basically “The Goonies” but in space, I love it

[@rickytv12]

A step in the right direction?

[@Starwarslegorob]

The volume was awesome for about 5 minutes , til you saw how Andor was filmed ! I’m definitely enjoying this so far , I just hope they keep the pace! Not sure about Jude Laws character, maybe he’ll begin using the kids and then become a mentor !

[@disruptive_innovator]

boy, you can sure tell a Favreau production from a KK production

[@joeiorio9654]

They’re all KK productions

[@officialmonarchmusic]

What do you mean a KK production? This is the dumbest thing ever. She's in charge of all of them. There is no "civil war" at Lucasfilm

[@richardwood5133]

Yes, I like Skeleton Crew. I have always said, Star Wars is a (was a) fun adventure story that kids relate to. Today, those kids are us. But also the story wonderfully includes those who were creating playful adventures with mystery and pirates before Star Wars existed. I relating to the kids bikes, riding rough and crashing bad down a hill landing hard with mysterious surroundings of debris and a forbidden past no one talks about. Been there done that. Lets hope it stays the course. This is what we need.

[@carltese1267]

I liked it but got disappointed on how much shorter episode 2 was

[@cngotham4111]

Glad star wars fans are liking it so far. Ill watch it

[@alexvaldes6125]

I liked it too good feel

[@skinnybuffandredplanetband2958]

This is exactly what a dude my age (51) needed to happen with SW. That old feeling came back. Pulled out my action figures and played for hours 😅

[@seanthompson224]

I don’t want to be negative, but I was not impressed as I skimmed through the show. It doesn’t have the Star Wars universe feel. The planet also felt like a futuristic earth. Not a show for me unfortunately, but more power to you all if you enjoyed it 🙂 At the end of the day we enjoy Star Wars for various reasons

[@nnnmmmable]

Coruscant literally feels like a futuristic Earth, even Naboo.

[@seanthompson224]

@ to a certain degree. To me they have a more fantastical and other worldly vibe

[@NeonCosplay81]

It definitely gave me goonies in space vibes... I enjoyed it, and my son is 6, and he enjoyed it as much as I did. After the lore breaking Acolyte, this show was a breath of fresh air. I hope they continue this trend throughout the series.
