Your "Star Wars Superheroes" comment hit home for me. Even as a kid, Luke learning to wield a lightsaber in a few lessons didn't track. I'm 57, I grew up with this story! Lately, I'm playing the SW D6 RPG, and it has hammered home to me how we only see the absolutely best and strongest Jedi. There is a huge untapped potential in the "becoming" story, something we all love. (Basically, a starting Force wielder is really weak in the game, and needs many, many sessions to be able to do even simple things with their powers). Sure, stopping spaceships in flight is visually cool, but only 3-4 Jedi Masters have the juice to do it. Using any Jedi, even a padawan, as an unstoppable juggernaut is just superheroing your plot. I grew up with Goonies, too! Let's hope they pull it off :)

[@krispalermo8133]

I am 48years old and had Goonies on tape. Played the who movie out scene by seen using D&D basic box set with roll under rules. Then TMNT, follow up with WEG rules for Star Wars. Funny thing about D6 WEG setting campaign book. Showing the main cast of characters stats. Leia was a better pilot of the Xwing and Ywing than Luke was, so why didn't she fly and attack raid on the Death Star ? Well first off it was just the way the movie was written and filmed. Second back looking logic would say Leia would be too emotional comprised to fly. But if it was Prince Luke would he still been told he was unfit to fly the mission ? My past two gaming shops I grew up as adult in my twenties cross house brew combined WEG with WotC along with Whitewolf/World of Darkness (WoD) vampire, mage playing fast & lose with mechanics with a lot of word math problems. WEG d6 Star Wars book had nothing but problems, typos, rules wording, bad rules for Darksiders because of the Satanic Panic nonsense. Space combat, ship travel maneuvers, etc. And we high school algebra students trying to make sense of it all.

What won the Rebels the space battle over Endor was two imperial warlords declared themselves as the New Emperor and started to fight it out with their own fleet commands. Pellaeon just said .. nope .. and gather what imperial ships he could and left with a small fleet of his own. What bought the Rebels goodwill and end of fighting the majority of the remaining imperials, was the Rebels declared an end of hostilities and run rescue pickups of imperial pilots and picket ships with failing life support. While the warlords fought it out. This is out of legends so its non-canon. Over all the writers were just playing up on themes from WW II Pacific sea battles.

We finally get a new *kind* of planetary environment in Star Wars (we’ve had cityscapes, mining colonies, forests, tundra, desert, etc etc etc, but never this) and OF COURSE the mid rim and core worlds would have some middle class settlements like this (I mean, duh) but we’ve never seen them before, and the first instinct of some folks is to complain.

Being born in the 80's actually makes you a "90's kid" because that's the decade you grow up in, when your personality is shaped and developed. People born in the 90's don't remember this decade nearly as much as people born in the 80's.

I'll add the caveat that 90s culture in the U.S is 2000s culture in eastern europe. A lot of technology, media, fashion took a while to catch up for us eastern europeans.

I am interested in Skeleton Crew because many parents want to share more Star Wars with their kids. There is a gap in live-action for kids 5-10, with most of the content being for older audiences. While Mandolarin's Baby Yoda is fun, the realistic violence and lack of an avatar for kids make it less suitable. Same with Ashoka and Obi-Wan, with some elements being for them but they are primarily for older audiences. I can see a lot more kids relating to the Skeleton crew and imagining themselves on those adventures with the kids in the show.

Disney sometimes takes chances outside it's "comfort zone" (i.e: Deadpool 3) but they are a company whose image and most of its businesses are associated with kids so comparisons to HBO might not be fair.

I loved Andor and the Mandalorian. But I'm here to be entertained, so I've enjoyed all of the shows. The sequel movies were so hard to follow from movie to movie. I thought Obi Wan was a great study in PTSD and the overwhelming guilt you would feel if you had to kill a sibling (and then find out that your sibling had come back as a 7' tall cyborg with force powers). There have been some truly outstanding writing--Stellan Skarsgards soliloqy about what he had to give up and Andy Cirkus' character evolution. I really hope that in Ahsoka 2 we get the more traditional Thrawn. I need to go back and rewatch the Acolyte to really follow it through. Carrie Ann Moss and Lee Jung-jae were great.

[@marcustmusic]

Maybe Disney could adapt the "cinematic universe" angle like Marvel did. Each series explores separate stories but has a central element, a focal point to direct audience attention to the big ticket movies. SW would be-in theory-better suited with this method because you would explore the actual galaxy. And in the series or movies, they can have a cameo from a new character or clan to introduce later on in a separate project. Everything fell apart in Disney when they finished the main story and not put up a "Story B" plan. They introduced all the characters in season 1-phases 1 through 2. Then they finished the overall plot in season 2-phase 3. Season 3 is usually the experimental season and all these shows and movies felt experimental.

[@sfastroworld]

I'm looking forward to Skeleton Crew. I'm just in it for the stories. It's why I loved Andor, despised Book of Boba Fett, was disappointed by Ahsoka and Kenobi, and have generally enjoyed most of the Mandalorian. I'm moderate when it comes to social politics and don't see the "wokeness" in shows like the Acolyte, which had some weak story telling in it, but no political messages as far as I could see. So bring on Goonies in Space! I'm ready for a new version of Chunk and Data and Mikey and Mouth! Goonies NEVER SAY DIE!

[@statickaeder29]

Stranger Things is definitely for us generation X -ers. The Goonies was made in my home state of Oregon! And call me weird, but I like that Star Wars is trying new things. I like both The Acolyte and Ashoka. Its true, none of them are as good as Andor, but as I've said in many places, the original Star Wars wasn't as good as Andor. - Part of why Andor works as Star Wars is that it has humans, aliens, recognizable equipment and a cute droid. In my opinion, you don't need Jedi if you have a cute droid.

[@moderndancingfool]

[@KevinTheID]

I'm sure Skeleton Crew will have a following, especially with families who have younger children, but this is the first Star Wars media Disney is putting out that simply doesn't catch me - and that includes some of the just okay or not great series we've seen recently. I love the Amblin nods and the Goonies/E.T./Jurassic Park kind of implications they are going for as an early 90's millennial myself, but there's something about it that just seems too Earth and our galaxy-like for my taste. Plus, I generally just don't find child actors all that interesting when they are the entire focus of the show.

Ridley Scott doing the pre-Yuuzhan Vong invasion would be excellent. The freaky bio-tech. The people being replaced. The political figures turning out to be these invaders. The horror aspect of them setting up an outpost at the edge of the galaxy and a few survivors trying to get off the planet to warn people. Yeah, he would do an excellent job with that. He would also do a great job with the rise of the Sith Empire and all the freaky Darkside stuff that happens because of it. All the lost Rakkatan tech that they find and deploy in their war against the Old Republic. There are also the the droids that waged a war of domination and extermination of humanoid life that happened in the early republic when the Jedi Order was very, very young as well. That was a freaky war that he could do as well. They should invite him to do a set of 2 to 5 movies covering some of the older stuff that is in the history that they need to make cannon and would be half horror, half traditional Star Wars. Just have the Dark Side run free with him.

I’m curious about it. It does look like it might try to cover new ground in Star Wars. Taking place in the New Republic this could be interesting. Which can be a good thing. Andor is the best example as was the first season of the Mandalorian. Goonies meets Star Wars? I still enjoy the Goonies today so it could be a good addition aimed for younger fans. My issue is if they try to turn Jude Law into a secret Sith Lord since the trailer gave away that he has Force powers. It did not work out for Acolyte and likely won’t work for Skeleton Crew. However, if it works like the old Star Wars kids books where the young characters have wise and well traveled mentor around to face the Big Bads and the kids handle problems that are more in-line with their abilities, then that could work. Obi-Wan having young Leia outrun grown adults was more humorous than anything else. But we’ll see.

I just watched a video and someone was relating this to Michael Jacksons Captain EO. stating the characters and the main characters resemble the characters in the Captain EO film.

I'm here for it, I have no confidence in it, but I'll give it a go. I just hope it's a show that _is not for me_ but is for someone and that it's good in the genre it's trying to emulate. Star Wars really needs to get back on that horse and stop being so damn, not good. I'm hoping since children talk a lot it'll be easier to write them. They should have no trouble placing them in danger and the Jedi dude I assume will be absolutely indispensable in everyone's survival. That said, if they F this up, I'm not sure if even Andor is going to be able to lift Star Wars out of the hole. I'd really hate for _serious_ Star Wars replace *fun* Star Wars, but that's where we're nearly at. Anyways, great video!

Yes

A step up from Young Jedi Adventures! Perhaps will be fun, "normal" adventures through the SW Galaxy. Will have to see if they make the kids unrealistically competent for their age, which would absolutely ruin it for me. EG. Calvin & Hobbes: enjoyable sit-com, but his existential analysis was certainly nothing 6 year olds actually do.

Squeletton crew looks ok and interesting.

6:24 "I don't think Star Wars fans have hated the franchise more than they have now." Did you sleep through the first decade of the 2000's?

Yo I got some cool films in my watch list now because of this vid! lol

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

We will see

The sad thing about Andor is that, as good as it was, it marked the start of the cliff Star Wars has been falling into ever since. There was a ton of hate for it in the internet, it's just not Star Wars, etc. It basically made it OK for normies to hate on Star Wars. Sure the shows since have been pretty mid, but nothing to justify the mountain of hate.

Looks like the announcement trailer for a new Disney Park ride

[@bigsarge2085]

Interesting.

Andor Reminded Me Of THX 1138

[@willadeefriesland5107]

Honestly, I'm struggling to NOT slag this as disney's Star Wars version of Star Trek : Prodigy, but... people didn't want to give Star Trek:Lower Decks a chance either. We all wait. We will see...

It's the goonies in space.

[@wtfamiactuallyright1823]

I'm still a big kid at heart, at 43 and I'm willing to give this a go. It looks good, even if very un-Star Wars like. Tho, I'm very prepared, for a letdown. 😐
