The whole point of the phrase “May the force be with you”, is that everyone is connected and has access to the Force. That was established by Obi Wan in episode IV. It’s been reaffirmed in every movie and tv show since. Some can use it with ease others can’t. Some people incorrectly think only Jedi can and are allowed to use the Force. Nowhere on screen has that been established.
@@raylouison7571 I liked what they were doing with her until she pulled "force push level 12" from the force unleashed out. I like the idea of a not-really-force-sensetive jedi, but they need to keep it consistent imo. Is she not-force sensetive and has to train a lot, or can she do crazy feats that normal jedi have to struggle with
As far as thinking only jedi use the force, that's quite understandable because the sith aren't really running around show casing their powers to everyone.
One of the things I feel The Acolyte did establish is that the Jedi love to claim being the owners of the Force. But in actuality, they are just one kind of force-users. In fact, it can be inferred now that the Jedi Council weren't right about Anakin and instead, it was their dogmatic view that led to him falling to the dark side.
Sidenotes: the alien that confronted Jude Law when he was rescuing SM-33 was voiced by Alfred Molina (Dr. Octopus) and the owl creature was voiced by Alia Shawkat (Maebe from Arrested Development)
Well, AT-AT is actually an acronym for All Terrain Armored Transport, just as AT-ST stands for All Terrain Scout Transport, so I think the similarity is either coincedental, or deliberatly chosen for a familiar sounding name.
Everyone potentially has access to the Force, but not everyone can be a Jedi. I loved Kh’ymm, whT a cool character. Skeleton Crew takes place at the same time as Mandalorian and Ahsoka, 6+ years after Return of the Jedi
Imagine how hard it must’ve been for these kids to keep all of this secret for almost a year when all you wanted to do was brag to EVERYONE within earshot “I fired lasers from a turret at a pair of X-wings after talking to a very friendly owl/cat lady who told us about why our home world was a secret treasure planet after escaping from a pirate spaceport with Young Dumbledore and a droid pirate with a peg leg named SM-33 which clearly means Smee.” I would break maybe day 4.
As I pay closer attention to the story, I notice elements from Treasure Island in addition to the 80s nostalgia that it brings. Such as Capt Silvo who could be akin to Captain Silver. It would be cool to see how the story develop.
@@benschroeder4036 Or, if his relative, who was a Jedi Knight or Master, perished during either The Clone Wars or The Jedi Purge. She might've been killed by General Grievous, for all We know. We saw how lethal he was in, Tales Of The Empire.
STARSHIP BLASTER CHAIRS! When Galaxy’s Edge was first announced, my first thought was, they HAVE TO have Millennium Falcon blaster chairs. What we got was a park full of retail stores. But, whoever is writing this show GETS IT. Get back to what made us love Star Wars as wide eyed adventure seeking kids.
Crimson Jack was the name of a character in an early story arc from Marvel Comics' original Star Wars run(1977-86). My ears definitely perked up when I heard that name.
@@meswoopnoseenothing But, *this* Crimson Jack likely has nothing to do with that one. That one running around while the First Order was doing it's thing. And Legends Jack died to Han in 0ABY. So it's a thrice used name now! xD
This show has done a great job toeing the line of being appropriate yet entertaining for kids as well as having enough elements to keep adults engaged as well. Like as a child I would’ve lost my mind seeing an adult put a kid in the pilot seat and putting others in the gunner’s chairs (this is so Smuggler’s Run coded and I love it), and as an adult watching Jude Law destroy that space port, and having some side characters die honestly tickles me. The show is giving Flight of the Navigator, The Dark Crystal, and Willow (the movie obvs) vibes and I’m loving it. Also episode 7 was the only enjoyable movie in the sequel trilogy, I don’t care that it was just a rehash of the original it filled me with hope and wonder which I can’t say about any of the other films outside of the originals.
I said the exact same thing Jaby said about how this show has expanded the Star Wars universe b/c as much as I love the OT and like some of the PT, I feel that the universe shrinks when they fall back on familiar territory instead of pushing outward.
You didn't mention that Brutus put a bounty out for the Skelton Crew I wonder who will come after it? Cad Bane is supposedly dead, Boba Fett doesn't go for bounties anymore, Would Din Djarrin do it?
The whole show is like the Star Wars fantasy of some kids playing with toys. Bits and pieces from the movies thrown in, like "I have an old friend that I can't really trust" (but she's no friend of the Empire?) and what looks like the door to Jabba's palace.
Episode VIII didn't come up with 'not just Jedi having the Force.' That was always part of SW. Luke had the Force, (as it's strong in his family) and if he was never trained in by Obi-Wan and Yoda, then he would have used it instinctively, like being an amazing pilot who could shoot Womp Rats or like Anakin in TPM, also using it to be a good pilot/helps him be the only human to win the Boonta race. That's what Jedi do --train in how to use the Force. Obi-Wan and Yoda and the entirety of the Jedi Order in the PT were random Force users who chose to be Jedi, from when they were Force sensitive children. And it was helpful for them to be Jedi from kids, to be protected from those that would have wanted to use their powers/exploit them. So no, this isn't some nod to TLJ. This is straight from ANH onwards about Force users. So no, people won't look more fondly on that film. The people that love it, will always love it. Those that don't, won't change their minds either. It will always remain a divisive film, and an utter failure at what was its first task --be a sequel to TFA, and set up the film after in logical manner for the film after it. Ya know, the planned middle film of a planned trilogy with some planned storytelling/narrative arcs. But I made myself laugh on that last bit...
re: the sequels discussion TFA is the one i see remembered the most fondly, simply bc it had the most potential and hadn't yet betrayed any of its characters like the last two did. But overall the sequels suffer from an incoherent competing vision
Reviewers get access to episode 3 earlier than us. So they recorded this a while back and once the embargo lifted, they have a scheduled upload. It's a common practice.
I think SM33 knows about the planet but is forbidden to say by his program. The way he phrases it when asked about the planet is not a simple answer of he does not know.
I don't know why after dozens of shows,movies and hundreds of comics and novels people still get confused or thinking that the jedi are the only ones that have access to the force. Obi-Wan has stated in many instances about the force being in things and people besides the jedi. Yoda told the clones that very thing in a different way. Just because you dont recall it doesn't mean they're bringing up something new. Go back and watch what yoda told luke about the force when he was training him. Go back and listen to what Obi-Wan told Luke about the force.
(At least in Legends) There have been dozens of other Force Traditions. ^_^ But many people don't read the books or comics, so only know what the movie/shows show them. Really missing out on a lot of good (though some not so good) content, they are!
There's one subtle spoilery information out there about the possible relation between Jod Na Nawood and the Force that I stumbled upon unwillingly and now I'm curious to see when and how it will show up... How many eps does this thing have? 6 or 8? It's being a blast! I'm really enjoying it.
For 40+ like me, it is very Dark Crystal vibe with Aughra same as the owl as crazy old character with huge knowledge staying for far too long in her observatory.....
Can pretty much guarantee you that At-Attin has absolutely nothing to do with AT-AT's. That's not what the walkers were named for. "All Terrain - Armoured Transports. xD And no, it will not. RJ went in with 0 plan with the trilogy in mind. Had to 'do his own thing'.
That was Alfred Molina who stopped him when he rescued SM33. That means he made an agreement with the pirates. It went wrong when the fuel line was attached.
Jaby - No Harm, No Foul - but numerous episodes of The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Bad Batch, and a great deal of Star Wars print and visual media have long established that there are “Force sensitive children” throughout the galaxy. So thankfully, we don’t have to give too much credit to Rian Johnson. 😊
Well, we have to give him credit for actually trying to get this into more mainstream StarWars and for trying to open up the world of StarWars more than Skywalker and Emperor. I know there are some questionable things in 8, but there definitely are also some really good ideas in it as well (at least as far as I am concerned)
Hey Jaby and Achara, wanted to ask you that why are many movies uploaded on this channel not available in Indian servers. I understand that you're uploading those on Cinedesi, but still many such as Mission Impossible Ghost protocol Moana Cinderella and many others are neither on that channel and not available to watch on this one. Why is that😅
18:50 No way in hell will that be the case. There's nothing bold about plagiarizing the reimagined Battlestar in a film series that's nothing like Battlestar Galactica. It's more likely to be de-canonized, like legends stuff, than to be seen fondly.
@CinePals, 19:48 Did @Achara not watch Ahsoka? Yes, apptitude HELPS, but as Ja Na Nawood said, "the Force flows through us all." The Jedi tested babies, because they wanted the best of the best. Ahsoka showed us that anyone can be a Jedi, even those the Jedi wouldn't normally take on. All a person needs is the will and dedication to hone a skill that doesn't come easily to people born attuned to the Force, as we saw with Sabine Wren.
Jabby it's not a mystery who or what Jude law is, that's obvious have you not seen rebels ? Jude is a Padawan survivor just like Kanan jaris , the only difference is Jude stayed a pirate to survive. The real mystery is how do they find their home , and it's there home world is the mystery. Just like the goonies the pirates will follow them home and it's just a simple adventure story
I dumped disney plus because the last few sw shows were absolute ass, so I've been watching these watchalongs, and this show looks like it was actually made by competent writers, it's not necessarily great but it's pretty good, and if the reveals are good this could move into the great category.
Episode 8 is an episode of a tv series not a middle movie in a movie trilogy. It’s doesn’t move the plot along enough. It would not even be the best episode of a tv series about tracking a ship through light speed. Battlestar episode 1 “33” did it way better.
EP 7 is the only good movie in that trilogy. Rian’s bold choice was to scrap all the setup done in the previous film and do his own thing, completely ruining the trilogy. There was no good way to wrap things up after that
This is so bad. This is the worst Star Wars anything after Episode one and right up there with garbage like Boba Fett. If this is the future of Star Wars, it's a dead IP for little babies and older people with arrested development.

He might be a Survivor from order 66 who just became or was raised by a pirate after surviving Order 66 being a youngling
I'm a 60 year old man watching a kids' show and loving it completely!
It's just fun!
First show I've seen in a long time where I yelled when it ended because I wanted it to keep going! So good.

I love how this is a type of story nobody has ever thought to make in Star Wars and it’s proving how good it is to break out of the formula.

He doesn’t like droids meaning he could be a survivor from order 66
Or even the Clone Wars as a whole, if he's ex-Jedi. Droid armies could definitely give you a complex, just ask Din...

Like as a child I would’ve lost my mind seeing an adult put a kid in the pilot seat and putting others in the gunner’s chairs (this is so Smuggler’s Run coded and I love it), and as an adult watching Jude Law destroy that space port, and having some side characters die honestly tickles me.

You didn't mention that Brutus put a bounty out for the Skelton Crew
I wonder who will come after it?
Cad Bane is supposedly dead, Boba Fett doesn't go for bounties anymore, Would Din Djarrin do it?
I felt my inner child when the kids were firing the lasers
there are plenty of force-users that arent Jedi or Sith, and some that go untrained but still able to do a bit. This could go in many directions.
This show is giving me Goonies vibes
The whole show is like the Star Wars fantasy of some kids playing with toys. Bits and pieces from the movies thrown in, like "I have an old friend that I can't really trust" (but she's no friend of the Empire?) and what looks like the door to Jabba's palace.
Where are the Creature Commandos reactions?
He's not taking the ship from the kids because he needs them to locate their treasure planet
I think Jod is either a padawan who lost his master or he was kicked out of Jedi school. In regards to KB I think she has some force
Nope , KB is a Cyborg, she can hear or "feel" droids ...she is no force user
An owl that lives in an observatory? Kh'ymm is just Blathers from Animal Crossing but in Star Wars.

@salmanfarruz ah ok I forgot to account for editing and scheduling
I believe they are both clients of the video editing company Praper
Well they are brothers so they probably uploaded at the same time purposely.
They are brothers, they plan these things out 😂
I think SM33 knows about the planet but is forbidden to say by his program. The way he phrases it when asked about the planet is not a simple answer of he does not know.
I noticed in the scene where Jod Na Nawood takes out the knife from a skeleton, the SM-33 starts moving like the Urkelbot
Episode 8... remembered fondly? 😂😂😂
It's at the same time as Mandalorian and Ahsoka. (Luke in black garment showed up in Mandalorian season 2, if you remember...)

Cinderella and many others are neither on that channel and not available to watch on this one.
Why is that😅
Another great Starwars episode
Unpopular opinion: Episode VIII is not StarWars, it's Star Trek. That's why people are thrown off by it.
How many moons and planets have there been in Star Wars and only now you suddenly wonder why there’s gravity?
932. Yes.
I’m new here. Are they a married couple? They really look good together
Watching Star Wars is the best franchise Skeleton Crew is the best

Deathrace
Can Jaby & Michael react to a Goofy Movie? It's not EXACTLY a "black" movie, but hey 😅
