Speaker 1 (00:00):
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Welcome to Always put on Star Wars, because just with
the Internet needed another podcast talking about Star Wars. I'm
one of your your mighty trio here one of the
co hosts here keV. I am joined by my main guy,
Chris Son.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You're talking to a Level seven system coordinator.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And because there's no favoritism on this podcast, my other
main man, Joe, he has.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
A hello there, I'm steeling christas he didn't say it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, guys, we're back. Man. Let me tell you the
flu sox so we had about of sickness is here
and and we have we have to had to pause
a little bit, but we're back to finish. Uh the
final episode of I mean possibly the final episode of
Skelton Crew. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I guess left open,
but it doesn't need anymore really, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, there's definite there's definite opening for even to continue
the story in another show. Yeah, but maybe just be
done with the kids.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I was thinking of the same thing.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Which sucks because these guys are such fun characters. I
would love to see some more of them.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, as soon as it ended, our resident wim my son.
Solomon looked over and said, is there gonna be a
season two? And I was like, I don't know, but
but I'll let you know. And that's why parents hate
lying to their kids.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But you don't know, We don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, yeah, I would, I would. I would absolutely be
h be pleasantly surprised. It would not be a bad thing.
They make more. But that's probably jumping ahead before we
get into the review of the finale.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Right, Yes, let's talk about what happened and then we
can delve into our certain points of view. Yeah, but first,
kessel Rundown, Let's do it. Skeleton Crew episode eight, titled
The Real Good Guys, was released on January fourteenth, twenty
(02:28):
twenty five. Was written by Christopher Ford and John Watts
and directed by John Watts. Jod continues to pose as
the republic emissary. He orders Whim, Neil, and KB to
be confined to their quarters while he takes Fern and
Farah to meet the Supervisor, who was revealed to be
a massive Droid. When the Supervisor contradicts Jod's claim about
(02:51):
being a Jedi, revealing to have learned of Order sixty six,
Jod is forced to destroy the supervisor. This causes a
blackout in the city and shuts down all of the droids.
As the Pirates invade at Aton with the intent of
enslaving the populace, Wim, Wendell, Neil, and KB race to
(03:11):
the Onyx Cinder. With the ship locked in place, Wim
and Wendel devise a plan to distract Jod so Wendell
can restore power. This enables KB and a repaired SM
thirty three to launch and fly the ship past the
barrier and call Kim the Owl for help. Shortly after,
the Onyx Cinder is shot down by the pirates. Meanwhile,
(03:32):
on at Aton, Wim, Wendell, Fern, and Farah All tussle
with Jod. While Wim and Fern separate Job from his lightsaber.
Wendel and a reluctant Pharaoh destroy the barrier. This allows
new Republic forces to arrive and deal with the Pirates,
shooting down their ship and forcing Jod to admit defeat.
Everyone then races to the Onyx Cinder craft site to
(03:54):
find KB alive and well. Wim looks up to the
sky in amazement as the new replace ships arrive on
at Atten and Power is restored.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, honestly, fantastically done. Yeah, action climax. We've got Neil
saving the Day multiple times, the Day saving today all
all four of them, and Whim whim really leading the bunch,
stepping up to be the captain pretty much.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, it was good. There was some good development on it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I hope people watch this. I hope people go back
and watch this. This this was like like and I've
been saying is for what seven reviews now and here's
the eighth one. This is the perfect kids start, Like.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
We'll say kids just perfect Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I don't know, this is great. Yeah, it's it's perfect
Star Wars. It's it's I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
If you just want a fun, self contained story, you
don't have to worry about lore, you don't have to
worry about where it fits into the universe. You just
take it for what it is and have a great time.
This is the show for you.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I thought it really had a new hope energy when
it was done. Like, you can tell a bigger story
after this or not.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And also I can am I get into some more,
but like I love that. It's like the real good
guys are these guys, you know, the one that everyone's
having problems with determining who's the good guys? Now, these
are the good guys. I was like, yes, it's so
nice to have them say they are the good guy.
Just felt good, man, it was good to have It
(05:23):
was great to have good and evil and not so
much gray in it this time. It was good to
have a bad guy who was a bad guy because
he was a bad guy, you know, and good people
who were good people because they were good people.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
So I know, I like that last thing before jumping
into the points of view, Well, this kind of gets
close to him.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
What a polar opposite when all is said and done
from the.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Accolade, Yeah, yeah, that one is these are supposed to
be the good guys, but are they bad?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
These are supposed to be the bad guys, but are
they good?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
And all of that confusion and that one ended on
a well, looks like we have to do a season two.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
This was not a self contained story and it didn't
get one.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
And now this one probably doesn't need one, but it
might get one.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
This is why your show should have a beginning and
an end without baiting, you know, you know, but that's
the accol I talk.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
And you could tell none of the kids. Who's the plot?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I didn't call it was next Yeah, I'm trying to
think of there was there anything else? Was who is
the episode? Because because in apologyes apologies for you guys listening,
this has been a little bit of time between our
last episode because of the sickness I had mentioned ann
on set. Was this the episode where we where he
explained his backstory? Was that last episode? This one? Okay?
So yeah, so other other than that, that was the
last thing about Kestle Rundown that they didn't say, like
(06:39):
we get to learn who he is.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, so we learned that. We also learned that Jod
was a kid discovered by a Jedi after Order sixty six,
a Jedi who was kind of on the run, who
saw potential in him, saw that he could use the force,
trained him a little bit before she was eventually killed
in front of him. Yep, and yeah, instilling in him
the need to survive and not trust anybody in the universe,
(07:05):
but also leaving in him a little bit of understanding
for a kid that just wants to belong.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah. I was gonna say, I feel like Amongst the
many guesses that we've had throughout this season of Open's Backstore,
I think we probably collectively have said that he was
probably a padawan who lost his master and kind of
went the wrong way. I'm pretty sure one of us
said that.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, Yeah, we circled around it. They circled around a
lot of the stuff that came up in this finalite
to be honest, like the Wizard of Oz running everything.
But I think it was a nice take on it.
I think there's a reason that explains all of his
you know, everything that he's done, all his motivations. Now
you understand like he's a self centered, self driven guy,
(07:50):
and yeah he's the bad guy of the story, but
he's not. He's not really a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, No, he's not. This is This isn't a sit
this is you know, this isn't like a super villain.
This is just a pirate in Star Wars, a kid.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
This is a kid who is starving and hungary and
in a ditch or something and never want to be
that way again.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Essentially, Yeah, Kessel Rundown sounds good man. I'm ready to
to happily talk about this show.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
All right, let's dive in, You're going to find that
many of the truths we cling to depend brickly on
our own point of view.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
So I'm gonna start with the end, okay, and a
crazy prediction on how this ties into everything that just
came in my head. Okay, is this how Palpatine funds
the final one? They find all of these credits, they
find this planet now that the barrier is down there,
(08:49):
like that's the thing that has to tie into the
rest of the universe.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well, I wonder, does does Palpatine really need to fund anything?
I mean that that dude run ran the show. I
don't think he ever really had any use for money.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And but now that they're out of power, they got
to get the materials and all this somehow.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well I would I would have assumed that he had
that all stashed away already as his backup plan.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
True.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I'm just yeah, I was trying. I've been trying.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I'm not I'm not shooting you down.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I'm just I've just been trying to think.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Okay, I feel like they left this open for something,
and I'm curious if it's more.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
To do with the mandovers.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Now, like if A had D's going to come into
play like the kids, Like kids had their fun.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Adventure and now we're going to step into the greater.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Purpose of the greater universe.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
This might be a good explanation for how the New
Republic is able to rise again so quickly. Yeah, because
they had the rebel alliance, didn't really have the I
mean they had individual benefactors like man Mathma who would
give money, but it was so hard for her to do.
We saw an and or Yeah, how much could they
really have? And then taking down the empire, it's it's
the warlords are going to take whatever they could individual
(09:59):
plan and it's are going to hold on to what
they had. They're not going to be inclined to give
it up to a new government coming in. So maybe
this is how the New Republic's able to establish itself
early on.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, Like when this episode ended in just like the
way it ends, it's just like, oh you know, and
it directed by John Watson. I'll sitting there and I
was like, yeah, this has this could have nothing to
do with anything else, and it's great. But if they
add it that's also cool, you know, but like.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
And it doesn't hurt this story at all.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, nothing is ruined, like like and Yeah, it's a
very non offensive, non invasive addition to Star Wars, which
has been really tricky to do as of late. You know,
we're trying to like kind of slide in more stories
in this this is just like I don't I don't know.
I'm just just really impressed because it it shows me
(10:50):
that they can still do it. I was worried after
like the early seasons of The Mandalorian and like, you know,
like you know, we're all waiting anxiously for and Or.
But I kind of been like, man, I really hope
people can respond well to these Not that I need
everyone to like the show for me to like it,
but it does make it more enjoyable when everyone's kind
of on board with it. So I hadn't even thought
(11:12):
about that. Joey like like, what's this, what's the greater implication?
I was like, dude, that was a fun story.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It was well, while we're talking about the implications in
the later is that is that Leah's ship or is
it just a Corvette?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't know. I mean, like why show that though,
like like like Star Wars fans are gonna see that
and think leah mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
But they don't ever have to tell us if it
is or not. It would make sense if it was, Yeah,
that would be the type of thing that she might
want to do in this instances. Yeah, but it also
could just be anybody.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, but because they didn't tell us, I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Say we got that. We got that little princess fern
nod early in the episode when Whims pretend to play
maybe that's that's a foreshadowing of what we're gonna see.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, that would have been awesome. And in a in
a different timeline, you know, everyone would have been on
that ship, the whole crew would have been down there
and like, what's going on because we're leading the New
Republic now, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
But Luke would have wanted to meet with John and
learn about his.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
And then I would have loved to see Luke, you know,
tell when he can keep that saber, because he looked
so cute holding it at the end with his little
scowl like I'm here to stop. You loved it. We
ended up like you know, in the last episode, it
was like, well, how's it going to begin? You know,
We're like, oh, probably John's gonna just continue carrying on
like he's his emissary, like he's just showing off his lightsaber.
That's exactly what he does. He just puts it back
(12:33):
and he's like, yeah, the kids have been bad, and
you know, they got to go to their go to
go to their rooms. But from from that point on,
literally as as you broke down in a cussle rundown,
it went almost paint by numbers about what we thought.
But just because it was that, it was just I
don't know, it just everything worked, watching the kids, uh,
(12:55):
Wendell finally snapping out of it and being more of
a person.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
When Wendell and Pharah, Yeah, yeah, it was more reluctantly,
but yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
It was good seeing wend Uh, it was it was
good and stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
You know, it was good to see the parents actually
participate and be a part of it and not be
like leftist fools. Yeah, because it was like, we don't
need them to be nothing in order for the kids
to be something here. It's like that the kids saw
something and they know so they led the way and
they trusted their kids. I mean, they put them in
dangerous situations there, but they weren't they weren't nothing. They
(13:31):
weren't just sitting there being these are just.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
These are just suburban parents, you know, they're just they're
just living their lives, having their TV dinners.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
They've never seen a bit of violence in their life before,
and they're thrust into all this.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
That's that's that's the thing that because like like you know,
we're all we're all well into adulthoods. We're all parents here.
And you know when you see your kids in there
there there, they you can see like they just want
to they just want to be a kid, and you
have to like rain them in. They always kind of
have this expression of you like, man, dad, like you
don't know what it's like, and it's like, no, I'm
just you older. I would love to still go outside
(14:07):
and play with my friends and do it because like
I'm just we're all just kids, just older right, Like
that that that spirit is still there. So like you
see these parents who are doing you know, their suburban jobs.
But like the moment that he's riding the bike, he's like, yeah,
did you see that was kind of fun, Like you
can see a little bit of like, yeah, he was
a kid once too. When you know, like you're like
(14:27):
your dad is a person and.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
He's getting his fist like ready to punch jobs, Like, yeah,
well before you just see him.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Like it's the back to the future, you know, like
the like bawling your fists for the first time. Uh
and like I cheered, you know, I was like, oh,
you know, you know as a dad myself, like let's go, Dad,
let's do it. But yeah, it was just you know,
every character, all the kid characters got to do things
(14:56):
that was kind of foreshadowed. You know when with the lights,
say Neil with the giant gun.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know, uh, uh KB with the ship, KB.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
With the ship and fern be I guess Burn being
the captain and the leader. They're just kind of but
uh say just standing up to Job. Yeah. Everything like
was just everyone's arc was complete. I don't feel like
anyone like I mean, I don't know what they do now.
I don't think they're going with the barrier back up.
I mean to think they can, but uh another thing
(15:31):
about the barrier and we can jump to something else.
I really thought it was a cool detail. When the
barrier does get brought down, they have that wide shot
with John in the center of it, and it was
so bright. It's like the it's like the first time
we got to see him in like the actual light yeah,
you know, because like you saw all these details about
like he looked a lot older, you know. I was like,
(15:52):
oh that, you know, and uh, I just thought that
was cool. How they have they kind of been living
under this veil and like literally the Uni Verse was
opened up to them and it's like this bright new future.
Like I don't know, all that little symbolism there, I
thought was nice little details at it.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Do you think that a planet that is a jewel
of the New Republic run by Adroid essentially, which they
they knew was run by Android Pharaoh seemed to know. Yeah,
so like it's not it wasn't a secret to that man.
It's a surprise to job. It kind of surprised me
that a lightsaber to one console could take apart the
(16:31):
entire government of the entire planet, which also we see
ad is really just a big city, right, Yeah, Like
when you see the exterior shots here, it's one big
city with the vault underneath. But then of course there's
like all the other vaults there, Like are there other
cities that are controlled by all this that we just
didn't see.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Like other supervisors of other cities on the planet I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I think there's only one supervisor, like this is a supervisor, okay,
And we just happened to only see the focus on
the one city because they said in the last episode
how many vaults there were, Like, there's no way that
all exists under this one city.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I hope not. That's there's no there's no planet core,
it's just vault.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I'm nitpicking a little too much here, but I because
I don't know. I don't want to take away from
the story. I mean, it was We've had parallels to
Qui Gon with John before, with some of the things
he said. And now he sticks the lightsaber in the
center and it burns the hole through like like Qui
Gon does on the Trade Federation ship.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It's it's it's nice to see a lightsaber cause damage. Yeah,
because for a while lightsabers were kind of being nerved
video game nerd term. But now a lightsaber destroyed an
electrical console because it is a lightsaber. I guess, I guess.
I don't know. I'm I'm happy that it did. I'm
happy that that's all it took, because those should be
(17:52):
hears some scary weapons. When someone wields one.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
And and I know we kind of brushed on it already,
but I like how they didn't. Just like I was
getting a little nervous as that EPs was going on,
that we were going to get no explanations for his
seam seemingly force powers and familiarity with the light safer. Yeah,
and I'm just happy with the way that that played out, Like, oh, okay,
that makes sense. He isn't like it just it fits
(18:17):
so perfectly.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
It felt natural for in the way that he told it. Yeah,
he didn't feel forced. It didn't feel like all exposition
to him, you know, or you know, the villain monologuing
like it really he had to wait for something anyway.
It really felt like in a moment he was trying
to get them to understand because he really didn't want
to hurt them. If you want to hurt them, you
would have.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Like, I know, he's not getting a heart of gold
here any or anything.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
But we're not taking it away either.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Yeah, it feels like there's a good guy in Like
he's not. He's just a guy out for himself, But
he doesn't seem to be at least the way villains
have been in Star Wars in the past, where it's
not like I am here to serve. I almost would
have been when they said, oh, you're no Jedi and
he was like, that's right, I'm something, you know, darker
(19:07):
or something like that. Dude, I said something like that
and been like, I'm a Sith. Then it would be like, Okay,
this doesn't make sense. This is this is a turn.
He's just He's like, that's true evil in Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
This is just I don't think he's anything like he's
he's out for himself. He's a product of his circumstances.
He's just wanted to survive and have a niche for himself.
He wanted to he wanted to take over this this
secluded planet and just keep making money for himself.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Just be rich man, Just be rich. That's a sweet plan.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
He should have just took what he hadn't ran.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But yeah, I I'm glad we got the monologue. Not
the monologue, you know, I'm glad we got the explanation
because it in my in my everything has to check
out brain. I'm like, Okay, this is why he's like
he could use the Force, but he's not like well
versed in the forest. That's why two parents and a
couple of kids can overpower, you know, because I was
like when point women's holding the lightsaber and he's trying
(20:02):
to pull it, and then him and Fern are holding
on the other end, and I was like, why is
he struggling with these kids right here? But it's just
because he's not that connected to the force, Like he
just knows how to do force pool one on one.
He's like a level one on on on your video game,
you know what I'm saying. He has like two moves
and he has to level that tree up. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I think out of like remaining questions that we wanted answered,
that was one. The Supervisor was one, and like how
this ties into the greater Galaxy was was after this
is done, I think the only other one that I
had left, And actually it doesn't ever need to be answered.
My curiosity would just be the Onyx Cinder captain by
(20:42):
tak Rend and had no other crew other than SM
thirty three because he killed them all right, He didn't
want anybody to know he figured out that this was
a Republic emissary ship and could get through the barrier
because of what it is to this jewel planet. And
I'm assuming when he did. It had to be during
the time of the Republic, because that ship had been
(21:03):
stashed and buried and nobody knew about it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah, and everyone everyone referred to it as like a classic, going, oh,
look at that's a beauty, look at his classic.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, so we wonder what happened to Tack Rented, But
the answer was in front of us the whole time.
Do you remember the scene when Jod comes across that
guy stabbed in the heart, the skeleton stabbed in the
herd and pulls his sword out. That was Tacked Brandon.
I think, I think I want to say it was
this episode when sm thirty three kind of says it,
(21:32):
or maybe it was last episode. It had to be
the last episode because that's when he did all the
monologue and he said, like stabbed in the heart or something.
But then one who stabbed him because it like, you know,
he crashed on this planet. He knew what the planet
was and crashed on it and couldn't do anything. I
guess I'm just curious. I'd be curious what happened to him.
(21:55):
But then again, that's just that's not even a big deal.
It's not even part of the story. We don't ever
really need that answer. It's just curiosity.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, yeah, no, that that that that's nice, a little
fun detail that I didn't I didn't catch him saying that,
but yeah, that makes sense. I'm trying to remember. You know,
the pirates all come down in their little boarding chips,
and what kind of freaked me out was like they
started blowing the place up and I was like, oh no,
not not.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Did did you hear the little Neil's going po po?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Also, Neil's dad looks like a unit. I would not
want to make that guy mad. No, man, he looks intense.
The protocol droids. When the power gets shut down, all
the droids shut down, and you know, women have steal
the bikes and they're going and then they're getting shot
at by the pirates. And when they got Neil and
Neil gets blown off, I yelped. I was like, not Neil, like.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
What happened to Like they were they were coming up
behind them right right into the building. Neil gets shot
up straight in the air and then he comes just
go without me like nobody nobody kept coming, like did
they like go around outside? And that's why he was
like ducking down.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I guess. Yeah, he was smart. He knew Neil knew
how to plan and this he was great.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
This brings a very important question. I think the last
time we were talking, Chress, you were going to Disney. Yeah,
was there Neil merchandise?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
There was nothing Skeleton Crew and I did look around
everywhere for you.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Man, Man, this world is sorry? What else could have?
What else can go wrong?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I saw Mando and Grogu again. If that helps?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Oh that's cool. Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. The narrative
isn't something that hasn't been done before. The kids are
having to convince their dad and their parents to like
shake out of like what they feel is safe and
go above and beyond and be brave because no one's
saving them. The security droids aren't going to help him
this time. They have to do it.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's it's nice, though, that that they're doing it out
of experience, not like out of mystical belief in something like.
It's it's not just whim wanting to have an adventure
and reading about Jedi and thinking that's really no, he
actually saw this. Yeah, he's like yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
He's like I went out there and I saw stuff. Man,
he's you know, and it's like, yeah, he's he's seen
the world, and uh, when it happens to young people, yeah,
it changes them and it makes them see things perspective.
But yeah, uh, the fact that they were just willing
to take action for the right reasons this time, because
now Whim, you know all these well I guess Wim
more so than all the other kids, maybe firming them.
They were so desperate to go on an adventure because
(24:27):
they thought their life was mundane and now they're willing
to go on this adventure just to go back to
their mundane life. And I was like, it's kind of
a full circle moment. And I just thought it was
really well done. Like I don't know, man, like I
I haven't I haven't seen a show. This not problematic
for me in a minute, you know, it's weird, Like
(24:47):
I just everything. I'm like, well, you know, there's this,
but that doesn't really matter and it's kind of fun
and I don't know, It's just kind of was an easy,
fun eight episodes. It's a welcome edition to Star Wars
for me.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, I don't think it's going to be anything that
It's like I revisit too frequently. I'm sure, I'll watch
it again at some point, but it's not gonna be
like the trilogy movies that like we're talking off air
before here, I've watched over and over and over again.
I've seen the Obi Wan Show over and over. I've
seen and Or a few times, Mando a few times.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
How many times seen about Skywalker?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Not that many. I think that this is this would
be something I'll enjoyed. It'll be kind of like the
gap that took us from the Acolyte to and Or Yes,
and I think, you know, once and Or comes back,
it's really going to feel like we're more back into
the I hate to use this word because it all is,
but like more of the Cannon stuff and more of
(25:47):
the main story, even even though it's not necessarily Skywalker's,
but it's more of the main Skywalker story than anything
we've had for a while. And like this, this really
feels what I thought Disney should be for Star Wars,
and what it was going to be is giving us
different adventures, letting us live in the world, seeing different
sides of it, without change, you know, without being.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Every all all accounts. This was a lot of fun.
We got to see Lightsaber, it didn't impact.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
The story mass not not just crazy the things that
we already have, because I you know, I'm happy that
we have those things. But like I think the Mandalorian
was so exciting because it was new and it was
like this isn't anyone and it's a new character and
a new story. And then you know, and it was like, well,
this is sort of new because we're getting that story
about characters that we don't really get to know, you know.
But like then like we got to do a lot
(26:40):
of action. Soca's like, Okay, that's great, that's cool, but
like we've already had Ahsoka and we already know Ahsoka
and we don't really need this. But then like but
then they'll be like, Okay, we'll give you this new
story like Alcola, and you're like, well, no, it's not
necessarily what we need. So it's like I think when
they when they when they acquired Disney, when Disney acquired
them and they were talking about downy shows, they kind
of pitched it to all of us as like what
(27:02):
Skeleton Crew did it being just a story in Star
Wars Universe, did you can kind of watch and be
like this is a part of the Star Wars Greater Universe,
and I think they were kind of scared because they're
they're they're so focused on making sure there's cameos and
and and connections, and you know, this is Darth Plagas
and all, you know, all these unnecessary things, and here's
a show that had nothing to do with anything and
(27:24):
it's great, and it's like, yeah, just this is perfect, guys.
Just give us more stuff like this. I don't need
everything to connect because we already have everything that connects,
that connects, you know.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
And now we're about to our next show. Would be
a nice break from the real world and everything we're
living in every day.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, nothing, but yes, yeah Star Wars. Uh yeah, Star
Wars is gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna lean on Star
Wars this year. That's all I'm gonna say. I'm gonna
lean on Star Wars. Also, je Little White, I mean
that's great he got to be in Star Wars, but
like he was a non factor. I just always expect
(27:59):
them these actors like I'm finally in Star Wars, like oh,
that's cool, and then like they just don't do anything
in it. There's like I'm in it, Okay, I guess
if I was just in it, I'd be excited too.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But I guess more action out of that one, that
one girl pirate that was on the surface.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
It's like every time we see because you know what
what ice Cube Son he was in one of the shows.
He's just like in the background, but he was. He
played a big part in that. Yeah, Thundercat were like
like like a musician. He was, he was in he
was in an episode. Of course we got lizz Oh
Jack but like, yeah, it's just funny. These uh, these
these notable actors are just getting to like live out
(28:35):
dreams of being in Star Wars and like, I'm pretty
sure I would take just to like I'd be a pirate.
He gets blown up and has two lines. That's fine,
somebody be in it.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I mean, look at Daniel Craig, he was a stop yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah. But then of course Bill Burr my favorite random
cameo in Star Wars all but.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah, but Bill Burr was was a great character.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah. That's why blows my mind because he's fun of
Star Wars and it comes in and does a great
job with a great character.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Like one of the Adam Polly and uh Jason sadeikis
Stormtroopers and yeah a Mando season one like that, that's
like a cameo. Yeah, I think Bill Burr's more like
a character.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, Mayfield, I have I have his action figure somewhere
around here.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
But like also, I like, I feel like Erkele was
supposed to be a character and ended up just being
a glorified cameo because he was in a few episodes. Yeah, sorry,
Julia White, I'll be respectful. He's not Steve Erkle. I
get it.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
It's okay. My kids called him sonic. One of one
of the I guess drawbacks of the show as all
is that the show's coming go pretty quickly. What this
was thirty five forty minutes total, like credit to credit,
you know, but it does it what needed to do it.
It wrapped up the story. The bad guys lost, the
(29:51):
good guys won. Gotta see X Wings, like said Joey
got to see a lightsaber. Yeah, always saw Princess Leo.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Because I do have a general complaint about all of
those people who when they did when they were talking
about Disney.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Star Wars and what it could be, and they.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Kept saying like no Jedi, no lightsare or something no, no,
I want.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Even though like most of Mando didn't have it, we
still ended with a dark scene.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, they gave it a dark cyber that's important. And also,
if we haven't saying their praises enough, these kids, man,
these are like some of the best kid actors I've
seen it and stuff in a while. Oh yeah, obviously
if it's a tone like this is a kid's show,
they're not doing like intense dramatic scenes like they're They're
just being kids.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
But I'm eating up all the media tours that they
did to promote the show. That's so cute. The four
little kids just doing stuff together like and they all
are their characters pretty much. Yeah except for.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
But okay, I have to confess something. Okay, you guys,
I was waiting for it to get called out as
you never saw the Goonies.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Oh, next podcast review is going to be actually the Goonies. Okay,
we're gonna take it. Well, I'll tell you this, if
you enjoyed this, I absolutely know you will enjoy the Goonies.
So if you never see it, if you never see
a teenage Josh Brolin.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Gee, okay, lead with that.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Next time he's wearing he's he's very eighties with a
crop top headband in sweatshorts.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Like there's a lot of big names in that movie.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, there's a lot of big names in that movie.
Well you see it, you're like, oh my god. Yeah.
If you ever do get chance to watch it, just
just cut on you have YouTube TV, right, Oh yeah,
wait till there's some holiday and cut it on TBS.
It's gonna be there, I promise you, if not Star Wars,
it'll be showing the Goonies.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Well, speaking of movies like that, I mean we got
a nod to et and this one pretty much with
the hoverbikes all the kids in the dark right bikes
to get to space essentially.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, no, man, I just Jude Law came to play
did a great job. I really, he left me with
a memorable Star Wars character. I will remember this character.
I'll remember these kids, like, yeah, not the thing like
I know their names, you know, I know, I know
the parents' names. I know all of Jod's fake names.
(32:19):
You know. That's that's when I know that I really
enjoyed it, because I you know, it's not just oh
the kids, It's like no, Wam and Neil and you know,
like so like it's just I don't know, just very happy,
a wonderful bonding experience with my kids. So that's another
great reason I love this show a lot. So I
don't know, I just had a great time with it. Man.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
So before we get into giving me a ruling, it's
kind of towards the end of the episode, anyway, help
me out understand what was the moment when so like
when the X Wings show up and start taking out
the pirates barriers down and they save the day. Essentially
they know they won. Jod drops his blaster and walks
(33:00):
to the window, and then they all decide to go
sprint off to go find out if KBS okay. So Wendel,
Farah Burn, and Wim all get in the elevator and
they're about to go, and then Wim just like yells out,
good Like what was what was what was that supposed
to be? I guess I don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
There was was there anything happening to that building?
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Not that building, no, like the building where they're in
the Supervisor tower. Yeah, he was kind of just looking
out the windows seeing that his pirate crew was being
shot down by the New Republic. These guys were all
running out of there because they knew that they had
saved the day. And now they're going to go see
if KB is okay. And like they all get in
the elevator they're about to go, and and Wim just
(33:48):
gets like this almost like angle kind of faces like
yelled Jod And then like if I think someone like
puts their arm around him, around Whim like just kind
of looks at him, looks at him or doesn't look like.
I don't I don't fully remember. I'm just wonder what's
the emotional moment there, what's that supposed to mean to me?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Maybe I mean just hearing you say it to him.
I probably need to watch again to relate, but just
hearing how you relate it. Maybe like a moment of
defiance for him, like because because John really tore into
Wim out of all the kids, you know, uh he
and he basically just proved John that he wasn't anything
that John had said about him. M M no. I mean,
I don't know, maybe convey that better than just screaming
(34:28):
his name. But then again, this is a little kid.
I don't know. I don't, I don't, I don't know.
But yeah, I'm not sure what the emotion was behind it.
What do you think.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I'm just curious. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I I could imagine how Wim felt because you know,
one of my my favorite shot of this episode is
he's holding the lightsaber and then John standing there he
drops the blaster, uh, you know, accepting his defeat at
the right hands of this right after that. Yeah, I'm
just like, dude, Uh, that had to feel good for him,
(34:56):
you know, because John thought, I mean, Wim thought John
was Jedi. He thought he was one of the good
guys and.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Emotional attached and they did have the little pep talk
speech earlier on in the ship.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
So another way of looking at it, perhaps is it
kind of because I I pulled it U because I
was curious to see how he look He looks like
he was offering John to like come and be rescued
with them, like like like like because he says John,
and he looks a little bit sad, like he's like, yeah,
you can with us, like you can come in. John's like, no,
I'm caught. There's no redeeming me. But you know what,
(35:29):
you know, why Wim did that because he's a Jedi,
because he has a herder goal.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
He's not a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Or he's not a bad guy. No, he's a Jedi,
that's what it.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Is, morally ambiguous.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Guy.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
He's been good for from the start.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, and all those pirates got exactly what they deserved.
What a bunch of jerks.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Yeah, trying to shoot up a suburban neighborhood for no reason.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Crazy?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
All right, fellas, are we ready to give a ruling?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, man's do it.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I must speak with the Jedi Council weediately.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
The situation has become much more complicated.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Altogether.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah, yeah, master, Master, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
If I leave it at that, or do I want
to edit it and make it sound like we're all
said at the same time.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
It needs to be done horribly wrong.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Just reminds me of when we would do the thirty
three point one episodes of Smallville, when we would all
purposely say can always hold on a small Ville, but
we would all start and finish at different time memories.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
This show is absolutely a fun watch. It is it is.
It isn't controversial, it isn't cannon breaking, it isn't even
cannon questioning. Really, it's just a show that takes place
within the Star Wars Universe. There are some things you
will recognize that makes you know you're still there. The heart,
(37:01):
the message, the feel of it is all there. It
just makes me excited to know they can still make
this feel whimsical and exciting for me at at at
at this point in my life, I can still watch
thet All Wars and be like, wow, I would love
to be there. You know that that that's a really
you know, not to be like super dramatic, but like
that's that's a really good thing to still be able
(37:22):
to feel as you get older, your favorite things can
still make you feel like that, you know. So uh
and and I got to like, you know, I got
I shared it with my boys and uh yeah, this
this is just something that that that that's gonna it's
gonna stick with me for a minute. So very thankful
for the show. I think everyone did a great job.
So it's it's I'm indebted to this master of a show.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
For me, I don't have a whole lot of just
major platitudes to throw.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
It's just because you haven't seen the Goonies.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
It's it's just a lot of fun. And I can't deny.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
That the story, the accolade when we got done with it.
It's like the problems we have with the story were there,
but there was also with the pacing and the writing
and the production and all of that, and I don't
see any of that with this story. So like, regardless
of what the story is, the fact that we've kind
of talked about it being a little ham fisted, a
(38:13):
little kid centric, like to a maybe a bit of
a younger audience with Star Wars, should be some potential
holes there, it's like that doesn't matter because they did
such a good job of the characters themselves, the actors
and who they portrayed, and developing all that, bringing us
along at a pace that fit and was appropriate, a
(38:35):
story that didn't seem dragged out or embellished or like
it felt natural. It felt like it moved appropriately and
enough to keep us entertained, keep us involved, but also
giving us answers and bringing us along the way, and
then a resolution that we feel was appropriate and we
feel was good, and we walk away feeling good. So
(38:57):
I just think, start to finish, they did such a
good job on this that regardless of what the story
is or isn't, I mean, maybe these guys want to
take a shot at youdoing the Accolytes.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
I just don't know how these two things happened right
next to.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Two different divisions and direct.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Different kind kind of like the Last Jedi and the
Reset of Skywalker.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, yeah, I mean and and you know in.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
The Jedi and Force Awakens.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah, you know, I mean, Acolyte from us has gotten
plenty of bumps and bruises from us. You know, they've
they become a punching back for us. But like it,
like it does show that, Like even because I think
as we were going through the Acolyte, we were kept saying,
like the idea is is there? Like it's not like
it's a bad premise to even explore in Star Wars.
(39:44):
It's just sometimes if it's not done right, then it
doesn't matter how good of an idea it was. Uh,
this could have also been really dumb. You know, a
bunch of kids find a ship and go on and
adventure and met a pirate like that. That could have
been dumb. But because they had a great vision and
some great you know, writing and great performances, which you know,
(40:06):
none of those things lacked from the Acolyte's just you know, performances.
It's just yeah, two different visions many they nailed it
with this one, and they swung and miss with the Acolytes,
So hopefully we'll have more hits and misses going forward.
Hopefully they can see. I don't spend a lot of
time on the internet anymore, social media wise anyway, but
(40:27):
I did. I did remember before I got off seeing
people were like, the viewership of the show is not
very good, and a lot of people think it's maybe
because the Acolyte turns to me people off. I don't
know if that's a direct correlation, but I hope people
watch this so Disney will know. This is more so
of what we need right now in Star Wars. We
don't need anything else or anything but like some good,
(40:51):
some good, whimsy fun stories. You know. I don't need
to be looking at my existence anymore within Star Wars.
I want to be taken away, you know, which is
a complete turnaround from my approach in the beginning of
back and I was like, I don't mind it being
blittont No, I'm with you guys. Now I've seen the light.
I need to walk hoverd Star Wars and be like,
you know what I'm glad I watched that, and I
(41:11):
can talk about all my bloods, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
All right, let's hand out some awards first being MVP,
and I think we should do episode and series as
a whole. Okay, And before we get to the episode,
I just want to ask, has anyone done anything to
(41:34):
take over the throne from Neil?
Speaker 2 (41:43):
No? I I asked my I asked my wife for
a seventh child, just to name him Neil. She said,
she said.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
No, And then you could have had women Neil oh.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Man, dude, my house could been great. All right.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
So MVP for the show is Neil. Who is our
MVP for episode eight?
Speaker 4 (42:05):
I must say, Whim.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, he really stepped up.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
He he he had some leadership moments, he grew not enough.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
I agree, I agree. I think Whim definitely. The show
painted him is our main character from the beginning. We
followed him from the beginning and even more in the end,
but like he did not stand out as main character.
Once he got with the kids, they really weren't ensemble.
They all had their It wasn't like he's the main
and these guys tied into it. And then at the
(42:35):
end he saved the day as as the leader I
mean this is he He did it all there, but
again as part of the ensemble. So yeah, I agree.
MP the episode whim MP the show Neil who is
our comeback player.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
For the episode wendel Man. He was. He was a
deadbeat dad by our understanding of the episode one, and
by the end of it, he's jumping. He's making jumps
on a on a trick bike, punching, punching fourth sensitive
pirates in the face like this guy.
Speaker 5 (43:12):
And it's kind of awesome that the show had no cameos.
I mean, thinking about the comeback that that's kind of
awesome that it was this good and it didn't stand
on any shoulders.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Like no, no Star Wars cameos.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yes, yeah, and he making homemade microwaveable meals. You know
how it.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Is not only a home cooked meal as we just
we just saw this microwave dinner TV dinner in the
microwave burner or whatever those Yeah, uh no, I'm on
board with that. I was gonna. I was gonna. I
didn't think to go within the show. I was gonna say, like, oh,
the Carellian Corvette from the New Real Public comeback, but
the or the Bee Wings But no, that's Bendel definitely
(43:49):
much more appropriate there. Did any of you guys expect
to see like a recognizable face when all the X
Wing pilots were checking in?
Speaker 2 (43:58):
Might yeah, uh, the the one guy that's in the
Menaalorian Carson Teva. Yeah yeah, Carson TeV. Yeah maybe even
oh lord, I'm forgetting his name zeb Yeah yeah that
that but but but but see, like that would have
been cool, but many didn't need it, and I'm glad
they didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
No, definitely, they definitely didn't need it. And I think
just having having the the corvette at the end was nice. Yeah,
would that be somebody we know? Type deal? But also
understanding New Republic is a big place, you would have
patrols answering calls that are not our main characters.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Yeah, And I think that serves to a greater hit because,
like I I really, I really think it was an
intentional thing, like hey, these are the these are the
good guys, And it wasn't a record. It was like, well,
of course, you know, of course Carson TeV, we've seen
a big guy. Of course, deb you know, it's like, no,
just if you are in this uniform, if you were
flying that ship. If you're on this side, you were
a good guy, uh in. So I just I like that.
(44:53):
And also for like, like from a kid's point of view,
it doesn't matter who's in the ship, you know.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
And to be honest, we had that previously before Carson
Teva became who he was, Like, he got bigger as
the show went on, and in the season when they
were on the ice Plant, when Mando crashed on the
ice planet with the Frog Lady and the two X
Wings save the Day, I mean, you got Dave Filoni
as one of them and Carson Teva is the other one. Literally,
they were just good guys, like pilots, helping out and
(45:18):
now they've become something more. But it's nice to see
that again.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
Yeah, yeah, take note Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
But that means that I think that do we give
the New Republic as a whole the rookie of the
episode because they're the only really new characters that we.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Saw, Yeah, I mean, yeah, why not?
Speaker 3 (45:41):
And then our rookie of the show? Which kid are
we giving it to?
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Because the KB and Fern haven't gotten many gotten much
recognition on this show from us unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Just do we just say the kids?
Speaker 2 (45:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (45:57):
Needs to be the kids.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
Oh yeah, all four of them they knocked out of
the park. Yeah, the the the actor played Neil with
all that prosthetic makeup on still be like it's just great. Yeah,
they au deiterd that absolutely all right.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Our Skin Award for the episode and the series, John and.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
John Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (46:26):
You kept waiting like around that bree corner, like, oh,
maybe maybe he's got something going on.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
No, no, just jerked.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
Yeah, yeah, the same thing. They kept you in the
dark in the beginning. He's just like a Jedi like
character who leads these kids on an adventure. Like that
was the premise that we heard before the show even
came out, and then he didn't even get introduced right away. Yeah,
and we did say it was mysterious, and then they
(46:54):
kind of like built him up to be good and
then they pulled the rug out from under you and
then at the end it just it was just a
downfall there. But again, like we already said a billion times,
he's not the most you know, he's not the most
evilest of of evil. He's just a guy that's out
for himself and his motivations are understandable, they're relatable almost. Yeah,
(47:18):
and he didn't do anything that would have ruined the
show for us, like hurting one of the kids.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
Yeah, like you know, we were we were thrown off
a lot by when he berated them all and held
lightsabers to their faces. But at the end of the day,
I mean, he had every opportunity to do whatever he
could have chopped off a hand And.
Speaker 5 (47:39):
Yeah, I will say, looking at do we feel like
there was a little last Jedi rise of Skywalker, I know,
or Force wakens last Jedi action here with the last
shot of the lap stepisode. In the first shot, I
feel like they reshot something where it looked a little
bit more friendly this time where he like he turned
the lightsaber on, so I'm just here to help everybody. Yeah,
(48:00):
where the last one was very much like I Am
going to kill you. Where did they like shoot each
scene twice like.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
It kind of seemed how episode seven left off he
had a knighted forward in a in a menacing way
and then he kind of finished in episode eight he
had it out to the side and kind of like
bowing almost and just like closed it off. So yeah,
they that was that was almost Yeah, that was a
(48:29):
definite mislead. That was a definite. Yeah, make us think
that everyone was in trouble, that they're not going to
trust that he's an emissary or whatever. And then all
of a sudden he's like, I'm your remissory, and yeah
for sure, okay, Skien h Wade toward. So we have
episode and the show. I can't give it to s
(48:55):
I'm thirty three because that dude does not die.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
He does not die. Man, I don't, I mean there
is any one pirates.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (49:07):
Let's give it to the accolade.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
I mean, I guess the pirates. I mean, like I
guess oh.
Speaker 4 (49:15):
No, no, no, no, no, the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
The supervisor, the supervisor. Yeah okay, no, yeah, he deserves it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
You don't think they can just like move some wires
around and bring them back.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
Probably and they probably will, but I hope they don't.
Maybe you would think this is their chance to like
live under their own understanding of what they want.
Speaker 3 (49:34):
To do here now.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
So yeah, their lives are forever changed anyway.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Yeah, they'll reintegrate in society.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
What a culture shock.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
Way a word for the barrier and the way of
life that at a new Yeah, all right, that finished.
That the awards brings us to the tally board. We
have a couple entries for this episode. We have a
plus one for no, which brings us to nine because
when KB crashed or didn't crash, Fern screamed out no.
(50:11):
And yet another plus one for no One's Ever Really
Gone because the previous episode at SEM thirty three was decapitated. Yeah,
I thought somebody was done there. Yeah, we thought he was.
He was gone, but he's back and still alivee and
one of his better landings. Yeah. Plus one for the
(50:35):
No One's Ever Really Gone brings us to twenty two
and that, my friends, is Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Yeah. Well, I guess the only one thing to do
before we sign off, and that's me tell you guys
a Star Wars joke. Are you guys ready for the reason?
Speaker 3 (50:54):
Oh we're ready?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Welcome to Always put on Star Wars, because just with
the Internet needed another podcast talking about Star Wars. I'm
one of your your mighty trio here one of the
co hosts here keV. I am joined by my main guy,
Chris Son.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You're talking to a Level seven system coordinator.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And because there's no favoritism on this podcast, my other
main man, Joe, he has.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
A hello there, I'm steeling christas he didn't say it.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, guys, we're back. Man. Let me tell you the
flu sox so we had about of sickness is here
and and we have we have to had to pause
a little bit, but we're back to finish. Uh the
final episode of I mean possibly the final episode of
Skelton Crew. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I guess left open,
but it doesn't need anymore really, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah, there's definite there's definite opening for even to continue
the story in another show. Yeah, but maybe just be
done with the kids.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, yeah, I was.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
I was thinking of the same thing.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Which sucks because these guys are such fun characters. I
would love to see some more of them.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, as soon as it ended, our resident wim my son.
Solomon looked over and said, is there gonna be a
season two? And I was like, I don't know, but
but I'll let you know. And that's why parents hate
lying to their kids.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But you don't know, We don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, yeah, I would, I would. I would absolutely be
h be pleasantly surprised. It would not be a bad thing.
They make more. But that's probably jumping ahead before we
get into the review of the finale.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Right, Yes, let's talk about what happened and then we
can delve into our certain points of view. Yeah, but first,
kessel Rundown, Let's do it. Skeleton Crew episode eight, titled
The Real Good Guys, was released on January fourteenth, twenty
(02:28):
twenty five. Was written by Christopher Ford and John Watts
and directed by John Watts. Jod continues to pose as
the republic emissary. He orders Whim, Neil, and KB to
be confined to their quarters while he takes Fern and
Farah to meet the Supervisor, who was revealed to be
a massive Droid. When the Supervisor contradicts Jod's claim about
(02:51):
being a Jedi, revealing to have learned of Order sixty six,
Jod is forced to destroy the supervisor. This causes a
blackout in the city and shuts down all of the droids.
As the Pirates invade at Aton with the intent of
enslaving the populace, Wim, Wendell, Neil, and KB race to
(03:11):
the Onyx Cinder. With the ship locked in place, Wim
and Wendel devise a plan to distract Jod so Wendell
can restore power. This enables KB and a repaired SM
thirty three to launch and fly the ship past the
barrier and call Kim the Owl for help. Shortly after,
the Onyx Cinder is shot down by the pirates. Meanwhile,
(03:32):
on at Aton, Wim, Wendell, Fern, and Farah All tussle
with Jod. While Wim and Fern separate Job from his lightsaber.
Wendel and a reluctant Pharaoh destroy the barrier. This allows
new Republic forces to arrive and deal with the Pirates,
shooting down their ship and forcing Jod to admit defeat.
Everyone then races to the Onyx Cinder craft site to
(03:54):
find KB alive and well. Wim looks up to the
sky in amazement as the new replace ships arrive on
at Atten and Power is restored.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, honestly, fantastically done. Yeah, action climax. We've got Neil
saving the Day multiple times, the Day saving today all
all four of them, and Whim whim really leading the bunch,
stepping up to be the captain pretty much.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, it was good. There was some good development on it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I hope people watch this. I hope people go back
and watch this. This this was like like and I've
been saying is for what seven reviews now and here's
the eighth one. This is the perfect kids start, Like.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
We'll say kids just perfect Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I don't know, this is great. Yeah, it's it's perfect
Star Wars. It's it's I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
If you just want a fun, self contained story, you
don't have to worry about lore, you don't have to
worry about where it fits into the universe. You just
take it for what it is and have a great time.
This is the show for you.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I thought it really had a new hope energy when
it was done. Like, you can tell a bigger story
after this or not.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And also I can am I get into some more,
but like I love that. It's like the real good
guys are these guys, you know, the one that everyone's
having problems with determining who's the good guys? Now, these
are the good guys. I was like, yes, it's so
nice to have them say they are the good guy.
Just felt good, man, it was good to have It
(05:23):
was great to have good and evil and not so
much gray in it this time. It was good to
have a bad guy who was a bad guy because
he was a bad guy, you know, and good people
who were good people because they were good people.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
So I know, I like that last thing before jumping
into the points of view, Well, this kind of gets
close to him.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
What a polar opposite when all is said and done
from the.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Accolade, Yeah, yeah, that one is these are supposed to
be the good guys, but are they bad?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
These are supposed to be the bad guys, but are
they good?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
And all of that confusion and that one ended on
a well, looks like we have to do a season two.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
This was not a self contained story and it didn't
get one.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
And now this one probably doesn't need one, but it
might get one.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
This is why your show should have a beginning and
an end without baiting, you know, you know, but that's
the accol I talk.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
And you could tell none of the kids. Who's the plot?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I didn't call it was next Yeah, I'm trying to
think of there was there anything else? Was who is
the episode? Because because in apologyes apologies for you guys listening,
this has been a little bit of time between our
last episode because of the sickness I had mentioned ann
on set. Was this the episode where we where he
explained his backstory? Was that last episode? This one? Okay?
So yeah, so other other than that, that was the
last thing about Kestle Rundown that they didn't say, like
(06:39):
we get to learn who he is.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yeah, so we learned that. We also learned that Jod
was a kid discovered by a Jedi after Order sixty six,
a Jedi who was kind of on the run, who
saw potential in him, saw that he could use the force,
trained him a little bit before she was eventually killed
in front of him. Yep, and yeah, instilling in him
the need to survive and not trust anybody in the universe,
(07:05):
but also leaving in him a little bit of understanding
for a kid that just wants to belong.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah. I was gonna say, I feel like Amongst the
many guesses that we've had throughout this season of Open's Backstore,
I think we probably collectively have said that he was
probably a padawan who lost his master and kind of
went the wrong way. I'm pretty sure one of us
said that.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, Yeah, we circled around it. They circled around a
lot of the stuff that came up in this finalite
to be honest, like the Wizard of Oz running everything.
But I think it was a nice take on it.
I think there's a reason that explains all of his
you know, everything that he's done, all his motivations. Now
you understand like he's a self centered, self driven guy,
(07:50):
and yeah he's the bad guy of the story, but
he's not. He's not really a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, No, he's not. This is This isn't a sit
this is you know, this isn't like a super villain.
This is just a pirate in Star Wars, a kid.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
This is a kid who is starving and hungary and
in a ditch or something and never want to be
that way again.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Essentially, Yeah, Kessel Rundown sounds good man. I'm ready to
to happily talk about this show.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
All right, let's dive in, You're going to find that
many of the truths we cling to depend brickly on
our own point of view.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
So I'm gonna start with the end, okay, and a
crazy prediction on how this ties into everything that just
came in my head. Okay, is this how Palpatine funds
the final one? They find all of these credits, they
find this planet now that the barrier is down there,
(08:49):
like that's the thing that has to tie into the
rest of the universe.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well, I wonder, does does Palpatine really need to fund anything?
I mean that that dude run ran the show. I
don't think he ever really had any use for money.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And but now that they're out of power, they got
to get the materials and all this somehow.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Well I would I would have assumed that he had
that all stashed away already as his backup plan.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
True.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
I'm just yeah, I was trying. I've been trying.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
I'm not I'm not shooting you down.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
I'm just I've just been trying to think.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Okay, I feel like they left this open for something,
and I'm curious if it's more.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
To do with the mandovers.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Now, like if A had D's going to come into
play like the kids, Like kids had their fun.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Adventure and now we're going to step into the greater.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Purpose of the greater universe.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
This might be a good explanation for how the New
Republic is able to rise again so quickly. Yeah, because
they had the rebel alliance, didn't really have the I
mean they had individual benefactors like man Mathma who would
give money, but it was so hard for her to do.
We saw an and or Yeah, how much could they
really have? And then taking down the empire, it's it's
the warlords are going to take whatever they could individual
(09:59):
plan and it's are going to hold on to what
they had. They're not going to be inclined to give
it up to a new government coming in. So maybe
this is how the New Republic's able to establish itself
early on.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, Like when this episode ended in just like the
way it ends, it's just like, oh you know, and
it directed by John Watson. I'll sitting there and I
was like, yeah, this has this could have nothing to
do with anything else, and it's great. But if they
add it that's also cool, you know, but like.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
And it doesn't hurt this story at all.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, nothing is ruined, like like and Yeah, it's a
very non offensive, non invasive addition to Star Wars, which
has been really tricky to do as of late. You know,
we're trying to like kind of slide in more stories
in this this is just like I don't I don't know.
I'm just just really impressed because it it shows me
(10:50):
that they can still do it. I was worried after
like the early seasons of The Mandalorian and like, you know,
like you know, we're all waiting anxiously for and Or.
But I kind of been like, man, I really hope
people can respond well to these Not that I need
everyone to like the show for me to like it,
but it does make it more enjoyable when everyone's kind
of on board with it. So I hadn't even thought
(11:12):
about that. Joey like like, what's this, what's the greater implication?
I was like, dude, that was a fun story.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
It was well, while we're talking about the implications in
the later is that is that Leah's ship or is
it just a Corvette?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't know. I mean, like why show that though,
like like like Star Wars fans are gonna see that
and think leah mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
But they don't ever have to tell us if it
is or not. It would make sense if it was, Yeah,
that would be the type of thing that she might
want to do in this instances. Yeah, but it also
could just be anybody.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, but because they didn't tell us, I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Say we got that. We got that little princess fern
nod early in the episode when Whims pretend to play
maybe that's that's a foreshadowing of what we're gonna see.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, that would have been awesome. And in a in
a different timeline, you know, everyone would have been on
that ship, the whole crew would have been down there
and like, what's going on because we're leading the New
Republic now, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
But Luke would have wanted to meet with John and
learn about his.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
And then I would have loved to see Luke, you know,
tell when he can keep that saber, because he looked
so cute holding it at the end with his little
scowl like I'm here to stop. You loved it. We
ended up like you know, in the last episode, it
was like, well, how's it going to begin? You know,
We're like, oh, probably John's gonna just continue carrying on
like he's his emissary, like he's just showing off his lightsaber.
That's exactly what he does. He just puts it back
(12:33):
and he's like, yeah, the kids have been bad, and
you know, they got to go to their go to
go to their rooms. But from from that point on,
literally as as you broke down in a cussle rundown,
it went almost paint by numbers about what we thought.
But just because it was that, it was just I
don't know, it just everything worked, watching the kids, uh,
(12:55):
Wendell finally snapping out of it and being more of
a person.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
When Wendell and Pharah, Yeah, yeah, it was more reluctantly,
but yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
It was good seeing wend Uh, it was it was
good and stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
You know, it was good to see the parents actually
participate and be a part of it and not be
like leftist fools. Yeah, because it was like, we don't
need them to be nothing in order for the kids
to be something here. It's like that the kids saw
something and they know so they led the way and
they trusted their kids. I mean, they put them in
dangerous situations there, but they weren't they weren't nothing. They
(13:31):
weren't just sitting there being these are just.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
These are just suburban parents, you know, they're just they're
just living their lives, having their TV dinners.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
They've never seen a bit of violence in their life before,
and they're thrust into all this.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
That's that's that's the thing that because like like you know,
we're all we're all well into adulthoods. We're all parents here.
And you know when you see your kids in there
there there, they you can see like they just want
to they just want to be a kid, and you
have to like rain them in. They always kind of
have this expression of you like, man, dad, like you
don't know what it's like, and it's like, no, I'm
just you older. I would love to still go outside
(14:07):
and play with my friends and do it because like
I'm just we're all just kids, just older right, Like
that that that spirit is still there. So like you
see these parents who are doing you know, their suburban jobs.
But like the moment that he's riding the bike, he's like, yeah,
did you see that was kind of fun, Like you
can see a little bit of like, yeah, he was
a kid once too. When you know, like you're like
(14:27):
your dad is a person and.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
He's getting his fist like ready to punch jobs, Like, yeah,
well before you just see him.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Like it's the back to the future, you know, like
the like bawling your fists for the first time. Uh
and like I cheered, you know, I was like, oh,
you know, you know as a dad myself, like let's go, Dad,
let's do it. But yeah, it was just you know,
every character, all the kid characters got to do things
(14:56):
that was kind of foreshadowed. You know when with the lights,
say Neil with the giant gun.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You know, uh, uh KB with the ship, KB.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
With the ship and fern be I guess Burn being
the captain and the leader. They're just kind of but
uh say just standing up to Job. Yeah. Everything like
was just everyone's arc was complete. I don't feel like
anyone like I mean, I don't know what they do now.
I don't think they're going with the barrier back up.
I mean to think they can, but uh another thing
(15:31):
about the barrier and we can jump to something else.
I really thought it was a cool detail. When the
barrier does get brought down, they have that wide shot
with John in the center of it, and it was
so bright. It's like the it's like the first time
we got to see him in like the actual light yeah,
you know, because like you saw all these details about
like he looked a lot older, you know. I was like,
(15:52):
oh that, you know, and uh, I just thought that
was cool. How they have they kind of been living
under this veil and like literally the Uni Verse was
opened up to them and it's like this bright new future.
Like I don't know, all that little symbolism there, I
thought was nice little details at it.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Do you think that a planet that is a jewel
of the New Republic run by Adroid essentially, which they
they knew was run by Android Pharaoh seemed to know. Yeah,
so like it's not it wasn't a secret to that man.
It's a surprise to job. It kind of surprised me
that a lightsaber to one console could take apart the
(16:31):
entire government of the entire planet, which also we see
ad is really just a big city, right, Yeah, Like
when you see the exterior shots here, it's one big
city with the vault underneath. But then of course there's
like all the other vaults there, Like are there other
cities that are controlled by all this that we just
didn't see.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Like other supervisors of other cities on the planet I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
I think there's only one supervisor, like this is a supervisor, okay,
And we just happened to only see the focus on
the one city because they said in the last episode
how many vaults there were, Like, there's no way that
all exists under this one city.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I hope not. That's there's no there's no planet core,
it's just vault.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
I'm nitpicking a little too much here, but I because
I don't know. I don't want to take away from
the story. I mean, it was We've had parallels to
Qui Gon with John before, with some of the things
he said. And now he sticks the lightsaber in the
center and it burns the hole through like like Qui
Gon does on the Trade Federation ship.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
It's it's it's nice to see a lightsaber cause damage. Yeah,
because for a while lightsabers were kind of being nerved
video game nerd term. But now a lightsaber destroyed an
electrical console because it is a lightsaber. I guess, I guess.
I don't know. I'm I'm happy that it did. I'm
happy that that's all it took, because those should be
(17:52):
hears some scary weapons. When someone wields one.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
And and I know we kind of brushed on it already,
but I like how they didn't. Just like I was
getting a little nervous as that EPs was going on,
that we were going to get no explanations for his
seam seemingly force powers and familiarity with the light safer. Yeah,
and I'm just happy with the way that that played out, Like, oh, okay,
that makes sense. He isn't like it just it fits
(18:17):
so perfectly.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
It felt natural for in the way that he told it. Yeah,
he didn't feel forced. It didn't feel like all exposition
to him, you know, or you know, the villain monologuing
like it really he had to wait for something anyway.
It really felt like in a moment he was trying
to get them to understand because he really didn't want
to hurt them. If you want to hurt them, you
would have.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Like, I know, he's not getting a heart of gold
here any or anything.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
But we're not taking it away either.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Yeah, it feels like there's a good guy in Like
he's not. He's just a guy out for himself, But
he doesn't seem to be at least the way villains
have been in Star Wars in the past, where it's
not like I am here to serve. I almost would
have been when they said, oh, you're no Jedi and
he was like, that's right, I'm something, you know, darker
(19:07):
or something like that. Dude, I said something like that
and been like, I'm a Sith. Then it would be like, Okay,
this doesn't make sense. This is this is a turn.
He's just He's like, that's true evil in Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
This is just I don't think he's anything like he's
he's out for himself. He's a product of his circumstances.
He's just wanted to survive and have a niche for himself.
He wanted to he wanted to take over this this
secluded planet and just keep making money for himself.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Just be rich man, Just be rich. That's a sweet plan.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
He should have just took what he hadn't ran.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But yeah, I I'm glad we got the monologue. Not
the monologue, you know, I'm glad we got the explanation
because it in my in my everything has to check
out brain. I'm like, Okay, this is why he's like
he could use the Force, but he's not like well
versed in the forest. That's why two parents and a
couple of kids can overpower, you know, because I was
like when point women's holding the lightsaber and he's trying
(20:02):
to pull it, and then him and Fern are holding
on the other end, and I was like, why is
he struggling with these kids right here? But it's just
because he's not that connected to the force, Like he
just knows how to do force pool one on one.
He's like a level one on on on your video game,
you know what I'm saying. He has like two moves
and he has to level that tree up. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I think out of like remaining questions that we wanted answered,
that was one. The Supervisor was one, and like how
this ties into the greater Galaxy was was after this
is done, I think the only other one that I
had left, And actually it doesn't ever need to be answered.
My curiosity would just be the Onyx Cinder captain by
(20:42):
tak Rend and had no other crew other than SM
thirty three because he killed them all right, He didn't
want anybody to know he figured out that this was
a Republic emissary ship and could get through the barrier
because of what it is to this jewel planet. And
I'm assuming when he did. It had to be during
the time of the Republic, because that ship had been
(21:03):
stashed and buried and nobody knew about it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yeah, and everyone everyone referred to it as like a classic, going, oh,
look at that's a beauty, look at his classic.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah, so we wonder what happened to Tack Rented, But
the answer was in front of us the whole time.
Do you remember the scene when Jod comes across that
guy stabbed in the heart, the skeleton stabbed in the
herd and pulls his sword out. That was Tacked Brandon.
I think, I think I want to say it was
this episode when sm thirty three kind of says it,
(21:32):
or maybe it was last episode. It had to be
the last episode because that's when he did all the
monologue and he said, like stabbed in the heart or something.
But then one who stabbed him because it like, you know,
he crashed on this planet. He knew what the planet
was and crashed on it and couldn't do anything. I
guess I'm just curious. I'd be curious what happened to him.
(21:55):
But then again, that's just that's not even a big deal.
It's not even part of the story. We don't ever
really need that answer. It's just curiosity.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, yeah, no, that that that that's nice, a little
fun detail that I didn't I didn't catch him saying that,
but yeah, that makes sense. I'm trying to remember. You know,
the pirates all come down in their little boarding chips,
and what kind of freaked me out was like they
started blowing the place up and I was like, oh no,
not not.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Did did you hear the little Neil's going po po?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Also, Neil's dad looks like a unit. I would not
want to make that guy mad. No, man, he looks intense.
The protocol droids. When the power gets shut down, all
the droids shut down, and you know, women have steal
the bikes and they're going and then they're getting shot
at by the pirates. And when they got Neil and
Neil gets blown off, I yelped. I was like, not Neil, like.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
What happened to Like they were they were coming up
behind them right right into the building. Neil gets shot
up straight in the air and then he comes just
go without me like nobody nobody kept coming, like did
they like go around outside? And that's why he was
like ducking down.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I guess. Yeah, he was smart. He knew Neil knew
how to plan and this he was great.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
This brings a very important question. I think the last
time we were talking, Chress, you were going to Disney. Yeah,
was there Neil merchandise?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
There was nothing Skeleton Crew and I did look around
everywhere for you.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Man, Man, this world is sorry? What else could have?
What else can go wrong?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I saw Mando and Grogu again. If that helps?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Oh that's cool. Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. The narrative
isn't something that hasn't been done before. The kids are
having to convince their dad and their parents to like
shake out of like what they feel is safe and
go above and beyond and be brave because no one's
saving them. The security droids aren't going to help him
this time. They have to do it.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
It's it's nice, though, that that they're doing it out
of experience, not like out of mystical belief in something like.
It's it's not just whim wanting to have an adventure
and reading about Jedi and thinking that's really no, he
actually saw this. Yeah, he's like yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
He's like I went out there and I saw stuff. Man,
he's you know, and it's like, yeah, he's he's seen
the world, and uh, when it happens to young people, yeah,
it changes them and it makes them see things perspective.
But yeah, uh, the fact that they were just willing
to take action for the right reasons this time, because
now Whim, you know all these well I guess Wim
more so than all the other kids, maybe firming them.
They were so desperate to go on an adventure because
(24:27):
they thought their life was mundane and now they're willing
to go on this adventure just to go back to
their mundane life. And I was like, it's kind of
a full circle moment. And I just thought it was
really well done. Like I don't know, man, like I
I haven't I haven't seen a show. This not problematic
for me in a minute, you know, it's weird, Like
(24:47):
I just everything. I'm like, well, you know, there's this,
but that doesn't really matter and it's kind of fun
and I don't know, It's just kind of was an easy,
fun eight episodes. It's a welcome edition to Star Wars
for me.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, I don't think it's going to be anything that
It's like I revisit too frequently. I'm sure, I'll watch
it again at some point, but it's not gonna be
like the trilogy movies that like we're talking off air
before here, I've watched over and over and over again.
I've seen the Obi Wan Show over and over. I've
seen and Or a few times, Mando a few times.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
How many times seen about Skywalker?
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Not that many. I think that this is this would
be something I'll enjoyed. It'll be kind of like the
gap that took us from the Acolyte to and Or Yes,
and I think, you know, once and Or comes back,
it's really going to feel like we're more back into
the I hate to use this word because it all is,
but like more of the Cannon stuff and more of
(25:47):
the main story, even even though it's not necessarily Skywalker's,
but it's more of the main Skywalker story than anything
we've had for a while. And like this, this really
feels what I thought Disney should be for Star Wars,
and what it was going to be is giving us
different adventures, letting us live in the world, seeing different
sides of it, without change, you know, without being.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Every all all accounts. This was a lot of fun.
We got to see Lightsaber, it didn't impact.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
The story mass not not just crazy the things that
we already have, because I you know, I'm happy that
we have those things. But like I think the Mandalorian
was so exciting because it was new and it was
like this isn't anyone and it's a new character and
a new story. And then you know, and it was like, well,
this is sort of new because we're getting that story
about characters that we don't really get to know, you know.
But like then like we got to do a lot
(26:40):
of action. Soca's like, Okay, that's great, that's cool, but
like we've already had Ahsoka and we already know Ahsoka
and we don't really need this. But then like but
then they'll be like, Okay, we'll give you this new
story like Alcola, and you're like, well, no, it's not
necessarily what we need. So it's like I think when
they when they when they acquired Disney, when Disney acquired
them and they were talking about downy shows, they kind
of pitched it to all of us as like what
(27:02):
Skeleton Crew did it being just a story in Star
Wars Universe, did you can kind of watch and be
like this is a part of the Star Wars Greater Universe,
and I think they were kind of scared because they're
they're they're so focused on making sure there's cameos and
and and connections, and you know, this is Darth Plagas
and all, you know, all these unnecessary things, and here's
a show that had nothing to do with anything and
(27:24):
it's great, and it's like, yeah, just this is perfect, guys.
Just give us more stuff like this. I don't need
everything to connect because we already have everything that connects,
that connects, you know.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
And now we're about to our next show. Would be
a nice break from the real world and everything we're
living in every day.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Yeah, nothing, but yes, yeah Star Wars. Uh yeah, Star
Wars is gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna lean on Star
Wars this year. That's all I'm gonna say. I'm gonna
lean on Star Wars. Also, je Little White, I mean
that's great he got to be in Star Wars, but
like he was a non factor. I just always expect
(27:59):
them these actors like I'm finally in Star Wars, like oh,
that's cool, and then like they just don't do anything
in it. There's like I'm in it, Okay, I guess
if I was just in it, I'd be excited too.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But I guess more action out of that one, that
one girl pirate that was on the surface.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
It's like every time we see because you know what
what ice Cube Son he was in one of the shows.
He's just like in the background, but he was. He
played a big part in that. Yeah, Thundercat were like
like like a musician. He was, he was in he
was in an episode. Of course we got lizz Oh
Jack but like, yeah, it's just funny. These uh, these
these notable actors are just getting to like live out
(28:35):
dreams of being in Star Wars and like, I'm pretty
sure I would take just to like I'd be a pirate.
He gets blown up and has two lines. That's fine,
somebody be in it.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
I mean, look at Daniel Craig, he was a stop yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Yeah. But then of course Bill Burr my favorite random
cameo in Star Wars all but.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah, but Bill Burr was was a great character.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah. That's why blows my mind because he's fun of
Star Wars and it comes in and does a great
job with a great character.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Like one of the Adam Polly and uh Jason sadeikis
Stormtroopers and yeah a Mando season one like that, that's
like a cameo. Yeah, I think Bill Burr's more like
a character.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah, Mayfield, I have I have his action figure somewhere
around here.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
But like also, I like, I feel like Erkele was
supposed to be a character and ended up just being
a glorified cameo because he was in a few episodes. Yeah, sorry,
Julia White, I'll be respectful. He's not Steve Erkle. I
get it.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
It's okay. My kids called him sonic. One of one
of the I guess drawbacks of the show as all
is that the show's coming go pretty quickly. What this
was thirty five forty minutes total, like credit to credit,
you know, but it does it what needed to do it.
It wrapped up the story. The bad guys lost, the
(29:51):
good guys won. Gotta see X Wings, like said Joey
got to see a lightsaber. Yeah, always saw Princess Leo.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Because I do have a general complaint about all of
those people who when they did when they were talking
about Disney.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Star Wars and what it could be, and they.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Kept saying like no Jedi, no lightsare or something no, no,
I want.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Even though like most of Mando didn't have it, we
still ended with a dark scene.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, they gave it a dark cyber that's important. And also,
if we haven't saying their praises enough, these kids, man,
these are like some of the best kid actors I've
seen it and stuff in a while. Oh yeah, obviously
if it's a tone like this is a kid's show,
they're not doing like intense dramatic scenes like they're They're
just being kids.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
But I'm eating up all the media tours that they
did to promote the show. That's so cute. The four
little kids just doing stuff together like and they all
are their characters pretty much. Yeah except for.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
But okay, I have to confess something. Okay, you guys,
I was waiting for it to get called out as
you never saw the Goonies.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Oh, next podcast review is going to be actually the Goonies. Okay,
we're gonna take it. Well, I'll tell you this, if
you enjoyed this, I absolutely know you will enjoy the Goonies.
So if you never see it, if you never see
a teenage Josh Brolin.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Gee, okay, lead with that.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Next time he's wearing he's he's very eighties with a
crop top headband in sweatshorts.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Like there's a lot of big names in that movie.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, there's a lot of big names in that movie.
Well you see it, you're like, oh my god. Yeah.
If you ever do get chance to watch it, just
just cut on you have YouTube TV, right, Oh yeah,
wait till there's some holiday and cut it on TBS.
It's gonna be there, I promise you, if not Star Wars,
it'll be showing the Goonies.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Well, speaking of movies like that, I mean we got
a nod to et and this one pretty much with
the hoverbikes all the kids in the dark right bikes
to get to space essentially.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Yeah, no, man, I just Jude Law came to play
did a great job. I really, he left me with
a memorable Star Wars character. I will remember this character.
I'll remember these kids, like, yeah, not the thing like
I know their names, you know, I know, I know
the parents' names. I know all of Jod's fake names.
(32:19):
You know. That's that's when I know that I really
enjoyed it, because I you know, it's not just oh
the kids, It's like no, Wam and Neil and you know,
like so like it's just I don't know, just very happy,
a wonderful bonding experience with my kids. So that's another
great reason I love this show a lot. So I
don't know, I just had a great time with it. Man.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
So before we get into giving me a ruling, it's
kind of towards the end of the episode, anyway, help
me out understand what was the moment when so like
when the X Wings show up and start taking out
the pirates barriers down and they save the day. Essentially
they know they won. Jod drops his blaster and walks
(33:00):
to the window, and then they all decide to go
sprint off to go find out if KBS okay. So Wendel,
Farah Burn, and Wim all get in the elevator and
they're about to go, and then Wim just like yells out,
good Like what was what was what was that supposed
to be? I guess I don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
There was was there anything happening to that building?
Speaker 3 (33:28):
Not that building, no, like the building where they're in
the Supervisor tower. Yeah, he was kind of just looking
out the windows seeing that his pirate crew was being
shot down by the New Republic. These guys were all
running out of there because they knew that they had
saved the day. And now they're going to go see
if KB is okay. And like they all get in
the elevator they're about to go, and and Wim just
(33:48):
gets like this almost like angle kind of faces like
yelled Jod And then like if I think someone like
puts their arm around him, around Whim like just kind
of looks at him, looks at him or doesn't look like.
I don't I don't fully remember. I'm just wonder what's
the emotional moment there, what's that supposed to mean to me?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Maybe I mean just hearing you say it to him.
I probably need to watch again to relate, but just
hearing how you relate it. Maybe like a moment of
defiance for him, like because because John really tore into
Wim out of all the kids, you know, uh he
and he basically just proved John that he wasn't anything
that John had said about him. M M no. I mean,
I don't know, maybe convey that better than just screaming
(34:28):
his name. But then again, this is a little kid.
I don't know. I don't, I don't, I don't know.
But yeah, I'm not sure what the emotion was behind it.
What do you think.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
I'm just curious. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I I could imagine how Wim felt because you know,
one of my my favorite shot of this episode is
he's holding the lightsaber and then John standing there he
drops the blaster, uh, you know, accepting his defeat at
the right hands of this right after that. Yeah, I'm
just like, dude, Uh, that had to feel good for him,
(34:56):
you know, because John thought, I mean, Wim thought John
was Jedi. He thought he was one of the good
guys and.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Emotional attached and they did have the little pep talk
speech earlier on in the ship.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
So another way of looking at it, perhaps is it
kind of because I I pulled it U because I
was curious to see how he look He looks like
he was offering John to like come and be rescued
with them, like like like like because he says John,
and he looks a little bit sad, like he's like, yeah,
you can with us, like you can come in. John's like, no,
I'm caught. There's no redeeming me. But you know what,
(35:29):
you know, why Wim did that because he's a Jedi,
because he has a herder goal.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
He's not a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Or he's not a bad guy. No, he's a Jedi,
that's what it.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Is, morally ambiguous.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Guy.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
He's been good for from the start.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, and all those pirates got exactly what they deserved.
What a bunch of jerks.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Yeah, trying to shoot up a suburban neighborhood for no reason.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Crazy?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
All right, fellas, are we ready to give a ruling?
Speaker 2 (35:57):
Yeah, man's do it.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
I must speak with the Jedi Council weediately.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
The situation has become much more complicated.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Altogether.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah, yeah, master, Master, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
If I leave it at that, or do I want
to edit it and make it sound like we're all
said at the same time.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
It needs to be done horribly wrong.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Just reminds me of when we would do the thirty
three point one episodes of Smallville, when we would all
purposely say can always hold on a small Ville, but
we would all start and finish at different time memories.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
This show is absolutely a fun watch. It is it is.
It isn't controversial, it isn't cannon breaking, it isn't even
cannon questioning. Really, it's just a show that takes place
within the Star Wars Universe. There are some things you
will recognize that makes you know you're still there. The heart,
(37:01):
the message, the feel of it is all there. It
just makes me excited to know they can still make
this feel whimsical and exciting for me at at at
at this point in my life, I can still watch
thet All Wars and be like, wow, I would love
to be there. You know that that that's a really
you know, not to be like super dramatic, but like
that's that's a really good thing to still be able
(37:22):
to feel as you get older, your favorite things can
still make you feel like that, you know. So uh
and and I got to like, you know, I got
I shared it with my boys and uh yeah, this
this is just something that that that that's gonna it's
gonna stick with me for a minute. So very thankful
for the show. I think everyone did a great job.
So it's it's I'm indebted to this master of a show.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
For me, I don't have a whole lot of just
major platitudes to throw.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
It's just because you haven't seen the Goonies.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
It's it's just a lot of fun. And I can't deny.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
That the story, the accolade when we got done with it.
It's like the problems we have with the story were there,
but there was also with the pacing and the writing
and the production and all of that, and I don't
see any of that with this story. So like, regardless
of what the story is, the fact that we've kind
of talked about it being a little ham fisted, a
(38:13):
little kid centric, like to a maybe a bit of
a younger audience with Star Wars, should be some potential
holes there, it's like that doesn't matter because they did
such a good job of the characters themselves, the actors
and who they portrayed, and developing all that, bringing us
along at a pace that fit and was appropriate, a
(38:35):
story that didn't seem dragged out or embellished or like
it felt natural. It felt like it moved appropriately and
enough to keep us entertained, keep us involved, but also
giving us answers and bringing us along the way, and
then a resolution that we feel was appropriate and we
feel was good, and we walk away feeling good. So
(38:57):
I just think, start to finish, they did such a
good job on this that regardless of what the story
is or isn't, I mean, maybe these guys want to
take a shot at youdoing the Accolytes.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
I just don't know how these two things happened right
next to.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Two different divisions and direct.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Different kind kind of like the Last Jedi and the
Reset of Skywalker.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, yeah, I mean and and you know in.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
The Jedi and Force Awakens.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah, you know, I mean, Acolyte from us has gotten
plenty of bumps and bruises from us. You know, they've
they become a punching back for us. But like it,
like it does show that, Like even because I think
as we were going through the Acolyte, we were kept saying,
like the idea is is there? Like it's not like
it's a bad premise to even explore in Star Wars.
(39:44):
It's just sometimes if it's not done right, then it
doesn't matter how good of an idea it was. Uh,
this could have also been really dumb. You know, a
bunch of kids find a ship and go on and
adventure and met a pirate like that. That could have
been dumb. But because they had a great vision and
some great you know, writing and great performances, which you know,
(40:06):
none of those things lacked from the Acolyte's just you know, performances.
It's just yeah, two different visions many they nailed it
with this one, and they swung and miss with the Acolytes,
So hopefully we'll have more hits and misses going forward.
Hopefully they can see. I don't spend a lot of
time on the internet anymore, social media wise anyway, but
(40:27):
I did. I did remember before I got off seeing
people were like, the viewership of the show is not
very good, and a lot of people think it's maybe
because the Acolyte turns to me people off. I don't
know if that's a direct correlation, but I hope people
watch this so Disney will know. This is more so
of what we need right now in Star Wars. We
don't need anything else or anything but like some good,
(40:51):
some good, whimsy fun stories. You know. I don't need
to be looking at my existence anymore within Star Wars.
I want to be taken away, you know, which is
a complete turnaround from my approach in the beginning of
back and I was like, I don't mind it being
blittont No, I'm with you guys. Now I've seen the light.
I need to walk hoverd Star Wars and be like,
you know what I'm glad I watched that, and I
(41:11):
can talk about all my bloods, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
All right, let's hand out some awards first being MVP,
and I think we should do episode and series as
a whole. Okay, And before we get to the episode,
I just want to ask, has anyone done anything to
(41:34):
take over the throne from Neil?
Speaker 2 (41:43):
No? I I asked my I asked my wife for
a seventh child, just to name him Neil. She said,
she said.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
No, And then you could have had women Neil oh.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
Man, dude, my house could been great. All right.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
So MVP for the show is Neil. Who is our
MVP for episode eight?
Speaker 4 (42:05):
I must say, Whim.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Yeah, he really stepped up.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
He he he had some leadership moments, he grew not enough.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
I agree, I agree. I think Whim definitely. The show
painted him is our main character from the beginning. We
followed him from the beginning and even more in the end,
but like he did not stand out as main character.
Once he got with the kids, they really weren't ensemble.
They all had their It wasn't like he's the main
and these guys tied into it. And then at the
(42:35):
end he saved the day as as the leader I
mean this is he He did it all there, but
again as part of the ensemble. So yeah, I agree.
MP the episode whim MP the show Neil who is
our comeback player.
Speaker 2 (42:54):
For the episode wendel Man. He was. He was a
deadbeat dad by our understanding of the episode one, and
by the end of it, he's jumping. He's making jumps
on a on a trick bike, punching, punching fourth sensitive
pirates in the face like this guy.
Speaker 5 (43:12):
And it's kind of awesome that the show had no cameos.
I mean, thinking about the comeback that that's kind of
awesome that it was this good and it didn't stand
on any shoulders.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Like no, no Star Wars cameos.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Yes, yeah, and he making homemade microwaveable meals. You know
how it.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Is not only a home cooked meal as we just
we just saw this microwave dinner TV dinner in the
microwave burner or whatever those Yeah, uh no, I'm on
board with that. I was gonna. I was gonna. I
didn't think to go within the show. I was gonna say, like, oh,
the Carellian Corvette from the New Real Public comeback, but
the or the Bee Wings But no, that's Bendel definitely
(43:49):
much more appropriate there. Did any of you guys expect
to see like a recognizable face when all the X
Wing pilots were checking in?
Speaker 2 (43:58):
Might yeah, uh, the the one guy that's in the
Menaalorian Carson Teva. Yeah yeah, Carson TeV. Yeah maybe even
oh lord, I'm forgetting his name zeb Yeah yeah that
that but but but but see, like that would have
been cool, but many didn't need it, and I'm glad
they didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
No, definitely, they definitely didn't need it. And I think
just having having the the corvette at the end was nice. Yeah,
would that be somebody we know? Type deal? But also
understanding New Republic is a big place, you would have
patrols answering calls that are not our main characters.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
Yeah, And I think that serves to a greater hit because,
like I I really, I really think it was an
intentional thing, like hey, these are the these are the
good guys, And it wasn't a record. It was like, well,
of course, you know, of course Carson TeV, we've seen
a big guy. Of course, deb you know, it's like, no,
just if you are in this uniform, if you were
flying that ship. If you're on this side, you were
a good guy, uh in. So I just I like that.
(44:53):
And also for like, like from a kid's point of view,
it doesn't matter who's in the ship, you know.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
And to be honest, we had that previously before Carson
Teva became who he was, Like, he got bigger as
the show went on, and in the season when they
were on the ice Plant, when Mando crashed on the
ice planet with the Frog Lady and the two X
Wings save the Day, I mean, you got Dave Filoni
as one of them and Carson Teva is the other one. Literally,
they were just good guys, like pilots, helping out and
(45:18):
now they've become something more. But it's nice to see
that again.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
Yeah, yeah, take note Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
But that means that I think that do we give
the New Republic as a whole the rookie of the
episode because they're the only really new characters that we.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Saw, Yeah, I mean, yeah, why not?
Speaker 3 (45:41):
And then our rookie of the show? Which kid are
we giving it to?
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Because the KB and Fern haven't gotten many gotten much
recognition on this show from us unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (45:53):
Just do we just say the kids?
Speaker 2 (45:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (45:57):
Needs to be the kids.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
Oh yeah, all four of them they knocked out of
the park. Yeah, the the the actor played Neil with
all that prosthetic makeup on still be like it's just great. Yeah,
they au deiterd that absolutely all right.
Speaker 3 (46:15):
Our Skin Award for the episode and the series, John and.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
John Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (46:26):
You kept waiting like around that bree corner, like, oh,
maybe maybe he's got something going on.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
No, no, just jerked.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
Yeah, yeah, the same thing. They kept you in the
dark in the beginning. He's just like a Jedi like
character who leads these kids on an adventure. Like that
was the premise that we heard before the show even
came out, and then he didn't even get introduced right away. Yeah,
and we did say it was mysterious, and then they
(46:54):
kind of like built him up to be good and
then they pulled the rug out from under you and
then at the end it just it was just a
downfall there. But again, like we already said a billion times,
he's not the most you know, he's not the most
evilest of of evil. He's just a guy that's out
for himself and his motivations are understandable, they're relatable almost. Yeah,
(47:18):
and he didn't do anything that would have ruined the
show for us, like hurting one of the kids.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
Yeah, like you know, we were we were thrown off
a lot by when he berated them all and held
lightsabers to their faces. But at the end of the day,
I mean, he had every opportunity to do whatever he
could have chopped off a hand And.
Speaker 5 (47:39):
Yeah, I will say, looking at do we feel like
there was a little last Jedi rise of Skywalker, I know,
or Force wakens last Jedi action here with the last
shot of the lap stepisode. In the first shot, I
feel like they reshot something where it looked a little
bit more friendly this time where he like he turned
the lightsaber on, so I'm just here to help everybody. Yeah,
(48:00):
where the last one was very much like I Am
going to kill you. Where did they like shoot each
scene twice like.
Speaker 3 (48:08):
It kind of seemed how episode seven left off he
had a knighted forward in a in a menacing way
and then he kind of finished in episode eight he
had it out to the side and kind of like
bowing almost and just like closed it off. So yeah,
they that was that was almost Yeah, that was a
(48:29):
definite mislead. That was a definite. Yeah, make us think
that everyone was in trouble, that they're not going to
trust that he's an emissary or whatever. And then all
of a sudden he's like, I'm your remissory, and yeah
for sure, okay, Skien h Wade toward. So we have
episode and the show. I can't give it to s
(48:55):
I'm thirty three because that dude does not die.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
He does not die. Man, I don't, I mean there
is any one pirates.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (49:07):
Let's give it to the accolade.
Speaker 2 (49:10):
I mean, I guess the pirates. I mean, like I
guess oh.
Speaker 4 (49:15):
No, no, no, no, no, the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
The supervisor, the supervisor. Yeah okay, no, yeah, he deserves it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
You don't think they can just like move some wires
around and bring them back.
Speaker 2 (49:26):
Probably and they probably will, but I hope they don't.
Maybe you would think this is their chance to like
live under their own understanding of what they want.
Speaker 3 (49:34):
To do here now.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
So yeah, their lives are forever changed anyway.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Yeah, they'll reintegrate in society.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
What a culture shock.
Speaker 2 (49:45):
Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 3 (49:46):
Way a word for the barrier and the way of
life that at a new Yeah, all right, that finished.
That the awards brings us to the tally board. We
have a couple entries for this episode. We have a
plus one for no, which brings us to nine because
when KB crashed or didn't crash, Fern screamed out no.
(50:11):
And yet another plus one for no One's Ever Really
Gone because the previous episode at SEM thirty three was decapitated. Yeah,
I thought somebody was done there. Yeah, we thought he was.
He was gone, but he's back and still alivee and
one of his better landings. Yeah. Plus one for the
(50:35):
No One's Ever Really Gone brings us to twenty two
and that, my friends, is Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Yeah. Well, I guess the only one thing to do
before we sign off, and that's me tell you guys
