"Skeleton Crew" Episode 5 Review: This show keeps getting better and better...

There was a leaked casting for a character called Nina Na Nawood who is apparently a Jedi. Popular theory is she was a survivor of Order 66 and later had Jod and gave him some basic training in the force but was later hunted down and killed by Inquisitors or Vader and Jod escaped.

[@spartastic4]

Jod: "Captain Rennard was the most infamous pirate in the galaxy" Hondo: "Why, I never!"

[@Solo13508]

Well Hondo is a "legitimate businessman" these days.

And that was a show i wasn't interested in when it was annouced.

[@williamli5780]

My prediction is that Tak Rennod is still alive (some long lived alien species) and took over the planet after the crash-- we will meet the superintendent next episode, and the show will later review they are one and the same. This would explain the blurred hologram and why they hype the dude up so much.

This episode was an amazing Christmas gift. I can't wait to see where they go next week. The ending was intense and Jod easily stole this episode. Personally I love how he was playing off everything until they implied he was Muun then he just ran for it.

[@bendu8282]

Jod was probably a lost Padawan who got kidnapped by Pirates. The evidence points to it in my mind, his use of the force is to precise to simply be magnets, he can move objects in a very natural way.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Well, prior to this episode the key was the only thing he moved, as well as making the noises to distract the guards and sense people around corners (but not the ball droid), all in episode 3. As the kids said, that could have been a trick.

[@shrapnelbmg6267]

​@@sandal_thong8631I think by this point, given his statement on attachments, it's practically a given that he is in fact Force sensitive and at least was given an introduction to Jedi philosophy before ending up with pirates. Maybe saved by a pirate captain from imperials after order 66 and raised as a pirate, eventually becoming captain himself? Maybe simply captured and conscripted as a cabin boy and just grew into it eventually taking over as Captain. Either way it's definitely an interesting thing to ponder. I'm looking forward to each next episode more and more.

I think SM-33 said his captain's last action before being killed was to crash the ship.

[@hakimzane]

@sandal_thong8631 yeah, I probably just missed it. I thought it was odd they didn't show his face. Or maybe he was "killed." It's been fun theorizing about the show.

[@dankirby6814]

I think the old captain is a droid and the supervisor of at attin, building up a fortune

[@fiktivhistoriker345]

I think the crashing of the pirate ship on AtAttin should be decades ago, if not centuries. So i doubt the old captain lives at all. And accumulating wealth without using it sounds strange. Only if there is a secret connection to outer space we haven't heard of. To me it seems that the old captain tried to protect AtAttin rather than plundering it.

[@zakdivers8153]

​@@fiktivhistoriker345Nah, that's what pirates do, hoard treasure, arrr.

[@dankirby6814]

It would be very Disney if the old captain rennod was actually a droid and that's why they hid its face and it's also the supervisor of at attin now building up decades of reserves of credits until it can finally return to the galaxy as the richest overlord imaginable

[@rogerpalsgrove9678]

Well we know you're crazy. It did feel like the best episode so far. After a second viewing of last week's episode things settled in more. It did seem like the two tribes had been at it for so long that the overall vagueness seemed to work. Could definitely tell for sure that the Troik's leader did not have the best intentions for the new kids.

[@sandal_thong8631]

They could have done something more with that episode. Like have both scouting parties be made up of kids. Or the kids use conflict-resolution they learned in school to negotiate a peace between the tribes. (Other than K.B. they seem pretty useless, don't they have any skills other than accounting?) We didn't see the tribes shoot each other or kill, so I thought it was a farce. But it's a kids' show so they decided not to show it. We also don't know how Jod got the animals, so we just have to go with what he said, which violated the rule, "Show, don't tell."

[@rogerpalsgrove9678]

I was willing to give them some leeway since it had me in the nostalgia's. Reminded me of some of the TV shows I watched in the late 1970s and 1980s when it came to the basic information.

[@fiktivhistoriker345]

@sandal I guess they were using mainly nonlethal weapons. Otherwise i doubt that the general would have sent his daughter in the first line nor would she have been so stupid to volunteer.

[@yugnok]

Goonies in the Star Wars Universe. Pretty good.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Most people thought they'd have to go to another At- planet to find the coordinates in its tower. Also, since it ended on the planet, At Achrann, some thought there might be more to do there. Since those credits are so valuable, Jod sure gave a lot to that hostess to protect his identity and give them a room; but she didn't do much of anything to earn them. He might have tried bribing that other woman; due to her deal when he gets away, she'll get nothing. There's supposed to be some kind of beast they have to encounter soon; maybe it's still alive underground all these years? Looks like the parents are showing some initiative. We can expect a message from Fara to the kids on the ship, from the trailer. I thought it might come down to the kids not going home to protect At Attin. But now that Jod and SM-33 know where it is, they probably have to go home and warn the supervisor they're coming.

[@fiktivhistoriker345]

If i remember this scene from the trailer correctly, the message of the parents to the kids was recieved by the pirates. Maybe they gave too much away with it.

[@laraq07]

If Jod Na was taken from his parents forcibly by the Jedi as a little boy, and missed them, he could have also been taught to put such attachments behind him. To get over it.

[@HighHeelKnight]

On the one hand, I like that her betrayed the kids. On the other hand, I don't understand why he felt the need to do that. He still has to go to At-Atin, and he doesn't know where the mint is on the planet. He also doesn't know how he will rob it. Take the children, drop them off, Then lay low until he can plan the heist.

[@root13pie]

The theory I've heard was he was planning to hold them for ransom to gain At-Attin's wealth.

[@emperortitus27]

"You don't understand pirates" :p I believe he means to ransom them; that's what I would do.

[@zachcurtis1283]

The kid igniting the lightsaber upside down was fucking priceless. The girl messing with the pipe to attack the guards was ridiculously convenient but oh well. I'm having a hard time with the fact it hasn't come up between Jod and the kids at any point, what time period they're in. I dunno. We'll see. I'm liking this show though. Could be better, but my qualms with it are pretty small, and I'm enjoying it.

[@MCsCreations]

10/10 for me.

[@bmarshy]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="420">7:00</a> there is a big difference between ‘detachment’ and ‘non-attachment’. Detachment implies apathy and an avoidant attachment style. Non-attachment implies that a person is secure in their relationships to things/people/beliefs etc and therefore does not cling to material things. The Jedi practice non-attachment, rather than detachment which I think has become a MAJOR misconception in the fanbase and even among certain writers, leading to shows like The Acolyte where the Jedi way is portrayed as inherently flawed. The Jedi way is not flawed, it is how the Jedi followed the way that was flawed in the prequels and led to their downfall. Just wanted to clear that up for everyone and maybe start a discussion! :)

[@Mitch2dc]

Really good show…. I totally agree I’m looking forward to the next

[@EnragedTofu]

[@pwslattery]

Luke Skywalker proved, unlike his father, that a Jedi can fill their life with attachments and love and it can bring good out of you and others.

[@therejedi]

Thor, do you think is possible that Jod most likely used a force mind trick or killed the warriors of the other tribe in "At Achrann" to get the animals back? Because he still had the credits with him and in the episode is said that they only traded with "off-worlders" for ammo and weapons with their pelts.

[@sandal_thong8631]

I thought that was a possibility. Now that they left the planet, there's no way to tell. Since it's for kids, they're toning down the violence after the first episode.

[@fiktivhistoriker345]

Maybe he just used one or two coins and promised them to come back with more, once he got to AtAttin.

[@ALmizzle415]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="407">6:47</a> coincidentally, the new Star Wars book, the living force, kinda addresses the question of if their method of taking kids from their families was a good idea.

[@jukeboxjunkie1000]

My only gripe with this episode, and it is a very minor one was when Jod seemed surprised at whose ship he's been travelling on this entire time. He knows about Rennod being a legendary pirate who disappeared while on a quest to look for At Attin yet he was unable to make the link without SM-33 overtly saying it. It reminded me of Wallace from Wallace and Gromit when Feathers McGraw reveals himself. Seemed a wee bitty daft but again it's only a minor gripe in a very, very good episode.

[@zacharyzier314]

What I like that they did was that Wim has been constantly told to be quiet and not to touch anything. How did the kids seemingly escape Jod’s clutches? Not from Wim being heroic like a Jedi, but by impulsively touching something and dropping down a chute

[@MisterRandom2]

Definitely the best episode so far. I have a hunch that it's going to be revealed that Jod is a padawan/youngling who survived Order 66. I can totally see him going on a rant in front of Wim about how the Jedi's morality and selflessness (along with their hubris) ultimately led to their downfall. I also think that Brutus and his crew are going to attack At Attin in the last episode (the trailers show the pirates intercepting a transmission from Fern's mom, so they probably trace it back there), and Wim is going to have to convince Jod to become a Jedi again (or at least temporarily) to save the planet.

Maybe it's just me, but it makes no sense to hide the planet (/planets?) where you mint credits. Either you stop using that currency - which as far as we know isn't the case - in which case you can just shut down the Mint (or repurpose it if you switch to a new kind of credit). Or you still use the currency in which case hiding the planet and having little to no contact with it make no sense since you can't access to your credit mints. Hopefully the full explanation makes some sense.

[@oXRaptorzXo]

Well I’m assuming the republic at the time had access and communication with it but things have since changed. And it makes total sense tbh to hide where the money comes from.

I don't think the Jedi practice of taking babies to be trained in the Order is very ethical, tbh. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't reject older students, but remember that they initially said NO to train Anakin. _Nine_ is too old for them. Nine. That's horrifying. And it really robs choice from the Jedi in question, because their parents and the Jedi made their choices for them. Given how Jedi preach how important choice is, this is pure hypocrisy.

[@chasethecolors]

You've gotten me interested, and I really want to watch this show now, but I'm worried it will end poorly or end up tying into the Disney sequels somehow, and ruin it. I'd like to support the show to raise the viewership numbers and watch it now, but I think waiting until it ends is the move.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="388">6:28</a> I felt like when Jod was about to leave Wim & then sighed, imo that was a pretty clear indication that he didn't want to deal with this shit but he knew he had to. I'm the same way if someone has an emotional breakdown around me, I know I have to do something even if I really don't want to. I'm kind of emotionally distant or detached myself, am I a Jedi? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="495">8:15</a>ish He "waited" so to speak, I think he realized that he had all the puzzle pieces that he needed to get to this legendary treasure and he wasn't going to let a couple of preteens muck things up. He might also really stand by the pirate code as his own moral compass, who knows, but the way he invoked the duel with Fern for the role of Captain felt like he was doing it as a formality. He clearly didn't want to hurt the kids, said so himself. He tried to make her say "yield" out loud for a reason, even if he told SM33 to throw them in the brig for mutiny after. I believe he would have put the kids in a time out for a bit and then let them be as normal, except they would take his orders now, but Wim once again did something stupid. He's easily my least favorite character of this show, no shade to the kid actor though. I didn't necessarily get the sense of ransom vs reward here but I totally see that perspective. As I said before I'm more just on the fact that he wants to secure the bag at all costs. He's not gonna want to let this slip through his fingers, it's a Legendary Score. We didn't see Tek Rennod's face for any particular reason. I think it was meant to convey just how long that place has been undiscovered for, the footage started to deteriorate. Initially I figured the Onyx Cinder had been crashed for like ~100-200 years but now I'm thinking it's been a lot longer than that with all this new info. Also consider the secret fortress that was on top of Lanupa is now a boujie spa for the elite and it's history is an ancient legend the guides are trained to tell you about. It must have been quite some time.

[@TrentOrTreat]

If the supervisor isn’t a droid, then maybe it’s the captain who took over and he just keeps the old republic credits for himself forever. Possibly dead and At Atten just thinks he’s alive

[@mudman619]

I'm guessing the 9 (well 8 of 9) jewel worlds were destroyed by Palpatine systematically sometime after the Clone Wars - he probably used them to pay the Kaminoans for the Clone Army. He also probably used them to pay for all the ships & equipment & also both Death Stars (at least initially). Once he had control via the Empire, those Mint worlds were no longer necessary - he could enslave & bully his way to pay for the Death Stars & the Imperial Army & Navy. It's probably likely the general Galactic population did not know about the Minting planets - possibly only the Banking Clan & a few other core financial VIPs knew about them. Obviously the Republic kept those systems secret, but Palpy would definitely know about them. So I think this series is not going to necessarily tie-into the High Republic, rather the Clone Wars & Empire. Oh, I loved the Indiana Jones & National Treasure vibe to this episode.

That's one my problem with the Disney shows (well, aside from the dire script, terrible acting and all the other warts) - they seem afraid to tell a complete story in an episode. Take an episode of Strange New Worlds or Doctor Who. They have a plot, a problem, rising action, a climax and an ending. Sure you can have other developments along the way and that you can have things build off old episodes, but you get one, whole and complete story. Here, it's a frustrating 22 minutes of teaser for next week, or an episode arbitrarily cut in half like that witch series one that just had an episode stop in the middle before that saber fight. Give us a whole story, damnit!

This is Treasure Island set in the Star Wars universe. Remember, Jod was originally Captain Silvio, which is a reference to Long John Silver. That’s why it’s so fun. It’s a classic story, told a different way.

Best episode for sure!

My thoughts: 1) “Your focus determines your reality, You have vision, embrace it, Make your life the one you want to live”-Jod 2) I was hoping the rat was the old captain 😂 3) Skeleton Crew works where The Acolyte doesn’t due to a consistent continuity 4) Will we see the reaction of At-Attin residents when/if they find out the Old Republic no longer exists?

I like this episode as well. Jod stole the show. I liked the tension and that the planet is a mint making money 💰. Now I hope the next episode is just as good

This episode was soooo goood!

[@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!

Although we don't know Jods age we know that Jude Law is 51. Anakin was 45 when he died in Episode 6 so Jod could very well be a Jedi. I am guessing he is way younger in the show but he could have been a youngling when Qui Gon was still among the living.

Hey Thor. With all due respect, I don’t know why you feel the need to keep calling this a “kids show”. The “mature” content is at least on par with the OT, and it matches the more brutal aspects of the PT. In other words, I see nothing about this show that explicitly makes it more “for kids” than anything from the mind of George Lucas.

[@fruitylerlups530]

I guess the lack of politics.

[@thorskywalker]

Lucas went a lot darker than this show has and (or so I'd assume) will. Yes, there has been some implied violent deaths, but I don't think we'll see any charred corpses (Luke's aunt and uncle) any of our main characters lose a limb, or have it implied that a room full of younglings were cut apart by a lightsaber. And the reason I call this a kid's show is because of a more lighthearted nature in general. And that's in no way meant to be an insult, just the reality that this is indeed meant to be very kid friendly in order to get younger people into Star Wars.

this is so entertaining and funny just Stranger Things but in Space and SM-33 is a Scream... and a Mystery?? what we all wanted as it keeps you Guessing??? Genius!

[@Gruntguy55]

I think i like this show more than Andor. Its just so fun and so starwars!

[@andrewlim9345]

Look forward to watching this episode. Jude Law’s character seems to be a chaotic neutral who is out for himself.

[@TheLastKentuckyIrregular9524]

I did really enjoy that one. It's a good show. Massive Goonies/Indiana Jones vibes.

[@dr.aleccort1833]

Does this show take place post Return of the Jedi?

[@darthmop1]

yes

[@voiceofraisin3778]

its been mentioned as post mando season 3, the timeline is a little hazy so probably 10 (ish) years after ROTJ.

[@Shrike1988]

I forgot this show existed. And I've been watching all the episodes. For free. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
