the suburb setting can seem out of touch with star wars, but thats the point. they are an isolated "utopia" community. We have seen parallels between modern Earth and the Star Wars Universe in every film. this doesn't feel so out of place to me. its a huge galaxy. I got a deep sense of nostalgia watching this and It totally brought me back to when I was a kid and would watch Goonies all the time, one of my favorite movies
The reality is that American suburbs don't belong in Star Wars. Contained utopia or not. I respect your perspective, but I think for a universe notorious for it's creative locations and otherworldly feelings, it does the franchise dirty to just "Star-Warsify" a suburb setting and call it a day. There was definitely more interesting and nuanced things they could have done
@@ryanz2547 but in that sense making it just a twisted whimsical version of a regular suburban environment is exactly what makes it so creative. Cause in a franchise notorious for it's otherworldly locations, thats what youd expect to see. So in that context taking a mundane setting and giving it a fantastical spin is one of the most creative things they can do. In that way it kind of makes it feel uniquely star wars-y to me in spirit.

I can't imagine it will actually be better than Andor, but that's a VERY hard thing to achieve. But I'm optimistic it'll be a fun adventure that appeals to casual fans like the Mandalorian.
I think it has potential to be on par with Andor but the same way Avatar The Last Airbender is on Par with Breaking Bad as great tv shows Ps hello James w, its me, James w
People complain that there are families that group together in a certain area for housing? It's not Coruscant; it's not conceivable that there's a suburb or two in the Star Wars galaxy?
the suburban look is just weird at first since it looks so much like irl neighborhoods, i mean coruscant is essentially nyc with everyone living in apartments and stuff, we are just more adjusted to that look being in star wars. personally before i watched the premiere of skeleton crew, i definitely didnt like the idea of the suburb look, but after watching i dont mind it at all given the context. so i think its just a case of letting people give it a chance first, because here in a couple months i would bet nobodies gonna gaf lol
The audience is mostly incapable of rating objectively, these audience reviews always end up very subjective (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). That's why there are critic scores that can assume a more objective viewpoint. Andor has a 96% critic score and is the highest rated piece of live action Star Wars media. That's also why there's such a huge gap between audience score and critic score with the Acolyte, for example. It has an 18% audience score, but a 78% critic score, which ranks it under Ahsoka and the Obi-Wan show, but still above The Book of Boba Fett and even certain Star Wars movies. It's not a masterpiece, but it's not certainly not the piece of trash and insult to filmmaking that the fandom makes it out to be. So always be careful around these reviews.
@@davidmun1601 audience ratings will change as the show progresses, but critic ratings generally won't change because they're based on whatever episodes were provided to them by Disney before the show premiered.
The show is clearly doing something thematically appropriate with the suburb planet; comformity & security versus adventure & danger. We'll see how it plays out over the next 6 episodes but I'm cautiously optimistic.
I appreciate the world-building given for the New Republic Era, a period of time that is largely devoid of movies and shows. It allows the viewer to experience the setting not from the leadership’s viewpoint but from someone who lives it day-to-day
@famous8844 It's a big galaxy. Even during times of peace you'll find an adventure and a conflict. Just because it's a time of peace doesn't mean everything is peaceful
i thought it was pretty good. opening scene in episode 1 was awesome - i thought it parallelled a new hope in quite a lot of ways, and i liked that. the rest of the show was interesting, i enjoyed watching it
I feel like the suburban feel will be explained. There is something clearly fishy about that planet. The fact that Jedi are well known and idolized as hero’s likely means the people are from at least the High Republic era. The officials also refer to the Republic and not the New Republic. A very important distinction meaning these people know nothing of the Empire they also use Old Republic credits in pristine condition which hints at a society that has lived in a bubble for a very long time. I believe the suburb like living was an experiment of some kind or used to hide the truth of the planet.
6.5/10 for me. Episode 1 was a slog, episode 2 was good but short. The earth-like setting on At Attin is really offputting, but I like the mystery about it. Im guessing it will explain later why the planet is so isolated and is considered a "myth"
As a hardcore SW fan since '77, I genuinely liked this show. It's no Andor, but it's fun with some LOL funny moments (Neel's siblings watching the circus holo 😉 ).
anyone else getting Byss (legends) feel about At Attin? hidden idyllic planet, seemingly unaware about what is going on in the greater galaxy. I have the strong feeling that the 'Republic' that Fara is talking about is not the new one, but rather the pre empire one.
I mean, the “American suburb” vibe of the planet is in a weird way refreshing because we’ve never really seen anything like that in Star Wars. Why can’t there be something like that in the Star Wars galaxy? The kids are great, the aliens and settings look amazing, and I’m very interested to learn about the mystery of At Attin. This was the most I’ve smiled watching a Star Wars show in a long time
"Why can't there be something like this in the Star Wars Galaxy?" Because it's Star Wars, not an American sitcom. Star Wars was meant to be it's own thing. It always had (until Ep.7) it's own vibe and aestetics. There was nothing that related to a specific Nation on Earth. If i want to see a realistic show, i can just watch Stranger Thing or stuff like this but Star Wars doesn't have to be something else than Star Wars.
@ I think he has a point. For some people, the places Luke and Anakin grew up in may look very familiar. However they don’t for westerners, and for billions of people on Earth, a perfect little suburban town in America would look alien to them.
I like that they're in a suburb. I mean, there are how many thousands upon thousands of planets in the Star Wars galaxy? You gonna try telling me there are NO suburbs?
I'm a bit torn about space suburbia. I usually don't like when SW mirrors our world too much (e.g., space Monaco in The Last Jedi), but I liked the 80s kids' film vibe this is clearly channeling. I think it works somehow.
Yknow what it is about this one? I think it’s tapped into this childhood imagination of living in this world that I’m sure we all had. I rode around my town on bikes and explored hidden tunnels. If this resonates with kids as well as it resonates with nostalgia of my childhood imagination, then it’s gonna be fine. I feel like this is trying to be a stranger things in space kind of thing but instead of 80s nostalgia they’re ticking boxes for the “Star Wars” kids lived out in their imagination alongside their upbringing, instead of the Star Wars they actually watched as kids. Does that make sense? Nostalgia for our imagination resulting from watching Star Wars instead of nostalgia for the actual media. I’ve just said the same thing 3 times but I hope I’ve said it enough ways for one of them to describe how it feels watching this show haha
Really loved this. Seeing that it included very clear puppetry instead of turning to CGI was wonderful. Very much like Andor it also helps show the normal life in star wars which is sick.
I really liked the first two episodes. We will see how it turns out. The suburbs actually gave it a 1980's charm from other shows like Stranger Things, IT, or the Goonies. The kid actors are very good in it also.
Better than I expected. The story's off to a strong start, the kids aren't as annoying as I thought they would be, and even the Suburb setting was a good beginning, evoking the likes of E.T. and Goonies, or just the memories of childhood where you and your friends had a thousand different adventures in the little patch of trees behind the backyards. The main kids dad was kind of flat, but I'm not expecting to see him a whole lot. But Jude Law being a Force sensitive, possibly an order 66 survivor, was a surprise.
After I finished the second episode, I felt legitimately excited for what was going to happen next. I haven't felt like that for Star Wars in a long time, but it's not in the traditional sense, I wasn't excited for the next episode to see which characters would show up, but for how the story would unfold. It was awesome.
I enjoyed it. I liked the suburban setting. It made it relatable. I also liked that they came from a hidden planet that everyone outside their system thinks doesn't exist. It adds a mystery feel that makes me want to keep watching so I can learn more.
Far better then I expected. Its fun to watch, has a good balance of comedy and tention, without stretching the comedy aspect to far. And those things that feel "a bit too close to us subburbs" need to take the target audience into concideration. The kids shall get a feeling of "hell, this could happen to me aswell!" to elevate their fantasy. In a more serious show, this would be a dealbreaker, but here, its fine and fun ❣ (Can't compete with Andor of course ^^)
"...Twitter being the most consistently uplifting..." I do believe I have never heard anybody utter anything even remotely close to this sentiment before.
People saying that the suburban setting is too Earth- like and doesn't fit Star Wars need to remember the forests of Endor, the beaches of Scarif, and the casinos from Attack of the Clones.
Enjoyed the hell out of it. Fun show. Took me out of myself and have Zero criticism, the references are all great. It is a good feeling to see something truly enjoyable set in the SW universe again.
The western suburb thing I can overlook, especially when you just watch the first episode, it doesn't really feel like a SW show. Goonies maybe, but a kid vibed sci-fi show that isn't too bad.
The cinematography on this show compared to the last two is so much better. The Disney fuzzy glow and lens flares are toned down a lot and the coloring is a lot more woody and deeply saturated than the over vibrant jj Abram’s style they’ve been using since TROS. The scene of the ship surfacing and taking off had such a good color tone and particley energy that they’ve been missing for a while I feel.
I am happy that skeleton crew is receiving very positive reviews and knowing that we're officially in good hands with this and the upcoming third season of star wars visions receiving very positive feedback
It is clear upon viewing the premiere that the status of the planet appearing stuck out of time and place is ABSOLUTELY intentional. There is something strange afoot and it is integral to the plot.
They made a Sci-Fi Suburbia because it resonates with the target audience, kids. Kids know of Star Wars, but they don't CARE, about the Universe like adults do. The suburban neighborhood will seem familiar to them cause that's their every day life, they can relate. and I think the theme here is taking kids from their every day life and whisking them away on an adventure. And as an adult Star Wars fan, yes it's weird and out of place. Then again we've never really seen what the middle class of developed worlds look like. Our references are either the posh techno luxury of Coruscant or Alderaan, the ancient Euro luxury of Naboo, or the slums of Tatooine.
There is a rumor that the 3rd episode is going to divide the fanbase. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it would be typical of Disney SW to do the bait and switch as they did with The Acolyte. The first two episodes are ok, but after the 3rd episode pops, suddenly, there's a ratings crash, and 75% of the audience that was watching it drops out for the rest of the season. It might not happen for Skeleton Crew, but I think most of the prior Disney SW audience has given up at this point.
It's not a rumor, it is really true, it starts getting woke asf around episode 3. You'd think Disney would have learned by now, to quit pushing people's personal agendas down our throats. Go woke, go broke.
And it's weird too, cause they want people to watch it, so they didn't put in the woke crap until episode 3, so they can get the most views on the the show, until it eventually comes crashes down with all the woke bs, that people don't want to watch.
I'm surprised, I really liked both episodes! The little elephant kid is great, and the "DROID" (no spoilers) is incredibly well designed. I am shocked Star Wars can still make something fun an interesting.
Even Star Wars Theory seems to like it, and he's been negative about a lot of the recent shows. It's great to see Disney making a Star Wars show really worth watching for once.
It has been excellent so far - charming and well designed. The suburb is, in my opinion, more than it seems. All adults are off to work (which they seem obsessed with), all servants (and teachers) are droids. These kids have no real adult connection, which makes their relationship with Jude Law's character more dynamic.
I still think this show is nothing for me but I'm actually happy for the people that enjoy it. It's great to have new series that people love, especially during christmas instead of something like the next Kenobi-flop.
It was just a fun watch. 👍🥳🤗Entertainment should be just that, entertaining. Like Skeleton crew, like Andor. ❤Like Mandalorian when Jack Black and Lizzo aren't in it (and I do like many other things they are in, especially JB). Some episodes of Bobba Fett, and some episodes of Obi Won were entertaining and fun to watch, as is Ahsoka. 👍Versus the star wars series so full of symbolism about the director's and key actors' favourite causes that it gets in the way of good story telling.🤡 I couldn't watch the acolyte past E3, whereas i rewatch Andor and The Mandalorian, and can see myself rewatching Skeleton crew.🙂
I don’t think it can be better than Andor, that being said it’s easy to see that it’s made for a younger audience so it doesn’t have to be so drama filled/dark. For it being more of a children’s themed story, it does what it sets out to do
What rubs me the wrong way is how much it actually looks like an American suburb. The only Star Wars in it are the lit-up control panels and lack of wheels. Otherwise, it's the set of E.T.
"Why don't they expand on the universe? Its a galaxy not Skywalker drama! Nooooo, the characters are irrelevant to the story!!!! Where's Skywalker?!?!? REEEEEEEEEE"
Looks great, the suburbs do feel a little out of place but I didn't mind them. Out of all the planets there had to have been something like this planet out there. I like the direction this will go, it felt refreshing and a good next step for Star Wars especially after the last two fuck ups.
I have one problem with the show so far. The Jude Low character was imprisoned long before the kids, but managed to retrieve the key only after their appearance. Just doesn't make sense to me.
It's a great show for what it is, a romp featuring kids. Seems like The Goonies in space so far. Don't think I'm alone in loving the pirate theme and the droid.
1:10 So you mean to tell me that in that vast galaxy that there is nothing like of that sort "suburban setting? Even they had traffic management on Tatooine. Im pretty sure that somewhere in that galaxy, humans have evolved similarly to humans on earth. I have no issue with that feature. Climate, weather patterns, fauna, flora and regions sculpt and mold cultures.
You can't go by Rotten Tomatoes scores. It clearly doesn't account for those of us who couldn't care less anymore and canceled our Disney+ subscriptions.
Love the show so far and personally I don't get how people say the suburb setting is out of touch with star wars, like star wars is an entire GALAXY if you put together all the various games shows and movies we still haven't seen more than 10% of it all so who knows what's out there!?
I thought it was really fun. Much better than I thought it was going to be. I wasn't really expecting much because obviously it is a kids focused show but it is good.
I also thought that the suburb design was a little too on-the-nose, and a few too many "Earth-isms" were portrayed (ie; putting gum on the back of a droid's head...The have Hubba-Bubba in space?). But I get the idea that this is actually supposed to be an ideal utopia society hiding some ominous secret. These overt nods to modern idealized suburbs were the only (minor) issue I had with this otherwise very entertaining show.
the suburb setting can seem out of touch with star wars, but thats the point. they are an isolated "utopia" community. We have seen parallels between modern Earth and the Star Wars Universe in every film. this doesn't feel so out of place to me. its a huge galaxy.

Im so glad to hear this news! This aint better than ANDOR tho... lets not get too beside ourselves, here LOL
After I finished the second episode, I felt legitimately excited for what was going to happen next. I haven't felt like that for Star Wars in a long time, but it's not in the traditional sense, I wasn't excited for the next episode to see which characters would show up, but for how the story would unfold. It was awesome.
I enjoyed it. I liked the suburban setting. It made it relatable. I also liked that they came from a hidden planet that everyone outside their system thinks doesn't exist. It adds a mystery feel that makes me want to keep watching so I can learn more.
I was happy with it and am excited for more!
Suburban kids on bikes = ET The Extra Terrestrial
Far better then I expected. Its fun to watch, has a good balance of comedy and tention, without stretching the comedy aspect to far. And those things that feel "a bit too close to us subburbs" need to take the target audience into concideration. The kids shall get a feeling of "hell, this could happen to me aswell!" to elevate their fantasy. In a more serious show, this would be a dealbreaker, but here, its fine and fun ❣ (Can't compete with Andor of course ^^)
"...Twitter being the most consistently uplifting..." I do believe I have never heard anybody utter anything even remotely close to this sentiment before.
People saying that the suburban setting is too Earth- like and doesn't fit Star Wars need to remember the forests of Endor, the beaches of Scarif, and the casinos from Attack of the Clones.
Enjoyed the hell out of it. Fun show. Took me out of myself and have Zero criticism, the references are all great. It is a good feeling to see something truly enjoyable set in the SW universe again.
I'm just glad to have a star wars show that isnt getting review bombed..
Well if there’s one thing I know about Star Wars fans it’s their ability to try and like new ideas!
The western suburb thing I can overlook, especially when you just watch the first episode, it doesn't really feel like a SW show. Goonies maybe, but a kid vibed sci-fi show that isn't too bad.
Like it very much ~ goes back to the hero’s journey roots of the original Star Wars
The cinematography on this show compared to the last two is so much better. The Disney fuzzy glow and lens flares are toned down a lot and the coloring is a lot more woody and deeply saturated than the over vibrant jj Abram’s style they’ve been using since TROS. The scene of the ship surfacing and taking off had such a good color tone and particley energy that they’ve been missing for a while I feel.
At last something brings the fanbase together.
and yet people will still say that star wars fans blindly hate new projects
I am happy that skeleton crew is receiving very positive reviews and knowing that we're officially in good hands with this and the upcoming third season of star wars visions receiving very positive feedback
I'll trust the tomatometer. The popcorn meter is full of idiots.
They're at 95% and 86% respectively.
@@OptimusWombat Duh, I meant in general, not this particular situation.
@@mosfet74 LOL, whatever you say.
It is clear upon viewing the premiere that the status of the planet appearing stuck out of time and place is ABSOLUTELY intentional. There is something strange afoot and it is integral to the plot.
They made a Sci-Fi Suburbia because it resonates with the target audience, kids. Kids know of Star Wars, but they don't CARE, about the Universe like adults do. The suburban neighborhood will seem familiar to them cause that's their every day life, they can relate. and I think the theme here is taking kids from their every day life and whisking them away on an adventure.
And as an adult Star Wars fan, yes it's weird and out of place. Then again we've never really seen what the middle class of developed worlds look like. Our references are either the posh techno luxury of Coruscant or Alderaan, the ancient Euro luxury of Naboo, or the slums of Tatooine.
There is a rumor that the 3rd episode is going to divide the fanbase. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it would be typical of Disney SW to do the bait and switch as they did with The Acolyte. The first two episodes are ok, but after the 3rd episode pops, suddenly, there's a ratings crash, and 75% of the audience that was watching it drops out for the rest of the season. It might not happen for Skeleton Crew, but I think most of the prior Disney SW audience has given up at this point.
It's not a rumor, it is really true, it starts getting woke asf around episode 3. You'd think Disney would have learned by now, to quit pushing people's personal agendas down our throats. Go woke, go broke.
And it's weird too, cause they want people to watch it, so they didn't put in the woke crap until episode 3, so they can get the most views on the the show, until it eventually comes crashes down with all the woke bs, that people don't want to watch.
Skeleton Crew looking better then I thought it would be
I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was so far.
I'm loving it so much right now! An amazing feeling!
I'm surprised, I really liked both episodes! The little elephant kid is great, and the "DROID" (no spoilers) is incredibly well designed. I am shocked Star Wars can still make something fun an interesting.
I’m starting to see a trend here. Stuff that fans aren’t asking for seems to do well
Even Star Wars Theory seems to like it, and he's been negative about a lot of the recent shows. It's great to see Disney making a Star Wars show really worth watching for once.
He's always negative let's be real, a man who thinks bricks shouldnt ve in star wars
@@zachm25 Don't forget the screws! He also complained about those.
It has been excellent so far - charming and well designed. The suburb is, in my opinion, more than it seems. All adults are off to work (which they seem obsessed with), all servants (and teachers) are droids. These kids have no real adult connection, which makes their relationship with Jude Law's character more dynamic.
I still think this show is nothing for me but I'm actually happy for the people that enjoy it. It's great to have new series that people love, especially during christmas instead of something like the next Kenobi-flop.
I don’t think it’s on the same level but I can see it gaining the same popularity due to it being easier to follow
See Disney when the show is good we review it well, it’s that simple
It was just a fun watch. 👍🥳🤗Entertainment should be just that, entertaining. Like Skeleton crew, like Andor. ❤Like Mandalorian when Jack Black and Lizzo aren't in it (and I do like many other things they are in, especially JB). Some episodes of Bobba Fett, and some episodes of Obi Won were entertaining and fun to watch, as is Ahsoka. 👍Versus the star wars series so full of symbolism about the director's and key actors' favourite causes that it gets in the way of good story telling.🤡 I couldn't watch the acolyte past E3, whereas i rewatch Andor and The Mandalorian, and can see myself rewatching Skeleton crew.🙂
I don’t think it can be better than Andor, that being said it’s easy to see that it’s made for a younger audience so it doesn’t have to be so drama filled/dark. For it being more of a children’s themed story, it does what it sets out to do
In the pitch meeting.... goonies meets Star wars!!
What rubs me the wrong way is how much it actually looks like an American suburb. The only Star Wars in it are the lit-up control panels and lack of wheels. Otherwise, it's the set of E.T.
It was like...the GOONIES meet sci-fi.
It's not surprising to me that a kids show would succeed in a kids franchise.
"Why don't they expand on the universe? Its a galaxy not Skywalker drama!
Nooooo, the characters are irrelevant to the story!!!! Where's Skywalker?!?!? REEEEEEEEEE"
Looks great, the suburbs do feel a little out of place but I didn't mind them. Out of all the planets there had to have been something like this planet out there. I like the direction this will go, it felt refreshing and a good next step for Star Wars especially after the last two fuck ups.
I enjoyed it, It felt like Goonies or E.T. A fun kid's adventure. My worry is future episodes will go woke and dumb like other Disney IPs.
I didn't even know it was coming out. I knew it was planned but so have a thousand other Star Wars projects.
I agree, the suburb is really awkward but at the same time.. it’s an insight into the wealthy who live in the burbs?
I haven’t watched it yet, but since I’ve enjoyed every live action Star Wars show so far, I’m sure I’ll like Skeleton Crew
I liked it. I hope it stays this good.
its actually really nice
That was really fun, has a smile on my face watching it
I have one problem with the show so far.
The Jude Low character was imprisoned long before the kids, but managed to retrieve the key only after their appearance. Just doesn't make sense to me.
It's a great show for what it is, a romp featuring kids. Seems like The Goonies in space so far. Don't think I'm alone in loving the pirate theme and the droid.
It's incredible so far!
I mean as long as it is fun and doesn't destroy or influence the rest of the Star Wars canon i think we shouls be happy
Where's my money, disney ?
I gave you a good score just like you demanded!
its pretty decent. very watchable. Cute , definitely for the kiddies. Im not mad at it at all. Watched it with my boys, they loved it.
1:10 So you mean to tell me that in that vast galaxy that there is nothing like of that sort "suburban setting? Even they had traffic management on Tatooine. Im pretty sure that somewhere in that galaxy, humans have evolved similarly to humans on earth. I have no issue with that feature. Climate, weather patterns, fauna, flora and regions sculpt and mold cultures.
Best Star wars project I've enjoyed since clone wars season 7
You can't go by Rotten Tomatoes scores. It clearly doesn't account for those of us who couldn't care less anymore and canceled our Disney+ subscriptions.
When I first stared watching it, I thought the story was similar to Star Trek Prodigy.
You know, some kids find a star ship and go on adventures.
How is that show? I've heard mixed things.
Love the show so far and personally I don't get how people say the suburb setting is out of touch with star wars, like star wars is an entire GALAXY if you put together all the various games shows and movies we still haven't seen more than 10% of it all so who knows what's out there!?
Star Wars Contents: *Hello There!*
I thought it was really fun. Much better than I thought it was going to be. I wasn't really expecting much because obviously it is a kids focused show but it is good.
I also thought that the suburb design was a little too on-the-nose, and a few too many "Earth-isms" were portrayed (ie; putting gum on the back of a droid's head...The have Hubba-Bubba in space?). But I get the idea that this is actually supposed to be an ideal utopia society hiding some ominous secret. These overt nods to modern idealized suburbs were the only (minor) issue I had with this otherwise very entertaining show.
Looking good so far!
Goonies in space without the goonies and without star wars
So far so good. But it's only been 2 episodes. I have hope, but at the end of the day, Disney has 6 more episodes to screw it up.
Loving it so far!
when the badass robot goes and beats the hell out of 20 guys and melts a dudes face off with his arm shield u will understand why its so good
Character appeal is good, which Acolyte did not have.
I liked it alot! Lighthearted Goonies in Space!
Weird that nerdrodic is staying quiet ever since people started loving skeleton crew.
Surprisingly, pretty good show
