Star Wars has been rather overrated for quite some time now. Ever since they had to actually develop the lore and world-build(for their RPG's and live-service games), it started falling apart. Kinda like when you examine Rowling's world-building in Harry Potter after getting older, and things start to get a bit... nonsensical. Star Wars is a beautiful painting from afar, but a lackluster sub-par amateur sketch when getting closer.
@@Knight-In-Greendefinitely depends on what kind of Star Wars you mean. The movies yea it’s mostly a space opera so not too heavy on hard world building like logistics ship weaponry and so on but the books have been covering most of that in legends and also in canon

@@Yarblocosifilitico Yeah that one whamen when they smuggle super toddler Leia out in Obi-Wan's pdf file trench coat slaps one meekly on the side of the helmet with an open hand that totally stuns him (almost like he ran into a bulkhead or something😉), then grabs another trooper underhanded with a fully extended toothpick arm perpendicular to her body by the bottom of his helmet, and he dives face first into the floor like she's Super Saiyan 3 Goku (never mind the fact she could only generate a few pounds of force tops from that position and he'd just stand there like "wtf are you doing?")
My thought on Skeleton Crew: I don't care. I don't care if it's any good. The company keeps telling me it hates me, and holds the franchise in contempt, so why would I give them my time or money on the off chance they make something half way decent on occasion?
Same. I have 3 requirements to give SW another chance: 1. KK is no longer at Lucas film. 2. Disney has sold Lucal Film 3. The new owners have officially declared the KK trilogy and shows non-canon. Until those requirements have met, I'm not even going to consider watching anything SW.
I still think Skeleton Crew was originally going to be a Disney Park ride but for whatever reason that never happened and instead they used the rides concept to make a TV show
Seems highly plausible. So then they were like, "well if there are no rides and no kids to ride them, we'll just cast kids as the MCs and turn it into a spiritual successor to 80s kid MCs*
Watched it with my wife and kids. We all enjoyed it for the most part. We too wanted to watch episode 3. Not a perfect 10/10 or anything. But got my 3 kids and wife and myself interested and together. So worth it!
I still don’t understand why the show is called Skeleton Crew. It’s not being run by a skeleton crew, aka the bare minimum of necessary crew. It’s being run by inexplicably skilled children. Might as well called it Shoe Factory for how much the title matters.
Maybe they get cursed by a treasure that causes them to turn into skeletons under moon light and the only way to lift the curse is to return all 882 identical pieces, find a guy named Will Turner, and spill a few drops of his blood onto them.
I would love to see Stupendous Wave join one of drinkers streams. I know he distances himself from streaming channels/other creators to do his own thing, but it would be so nice to see all the great creators that drinker has welcome him and enjoy his thoughts and input
So far I don't think Skeleton Crew is amazing, but as with The Angry Badger: I enjoyed episodes 1 and 2 and when they were over I was eager to see episode 3. I don't need an epic, just some light "Goonies in Space" entertainment that doesn't get bogged down with The Message or any sort of politics will be perfectly fine.
Any parent who still goes about thinking "Oh, it's a kid's show; who cares" shouldn't have children. Kid's shows are among the most important to keep an eye out for.
@@Knight-In-Green Yeah, look at kids shows like Avatar The Last Airbender & Gravity Falls. Those are kids shows that have a a LOT of versatile & subtlety in it's story, characters, lore, and humor that both kids AND adults can latch on to.
@@liamphibia Hard agree! Unfortunately I have no kids, so can't introduce ATLA to them. Might do with my nieces though, but their ill-attentive mothers have already been feeding them the LGHDTV+ Ipad kiddie propaganda, so I think it might be a sign it'd already be too late... if not just a more solid reason to buy it for them.
My disappointment for Star Wars has turned to apathy at this point. I want to be excited about something but Disney has completely shit the bed so bad that a single wet wipe of hope… won’t help. It only smears the despair in an attempt to clean it up.
A surprisingly apt metaphor. Nails the situation on the head. It's the same here, I used to be a big fan, but none of the new projects interest me anymore, except maybe Andor s2. I don't trust Disney Star Wars more than a seemingly shallow puddle.
I initially scrolled past the thumbnail because it didn't even look like starwars besides from the x wings and i completely forgot this series was even going to be a thing
I couldn't sleep at 2:30 am so watched the first episode. It wasn't bad. It would have been better if the kids had all been friends from the beginning. The Fern character was close to bring likeable and close to being insufferable.
It's been pointed out (I believe a Forbes article even did) that they talk about everyone on the planet working towards the "Great Work" of the Republic, and the High Republic stories (unfortunately) talk about the "Great Works" plural, being large projects that the Republic was working on to advance the galaxy. So it is likely this planet was cut off during the High Republic and was working on some big project. They don't seem to know anything about the fall of the Old Republic or the rise of the Empire (though the leaders might). The way the planet's culture looks is an isolated evolution of the High Republic without any of the problems the Republic faced. It wouldn't surprise me if Palpatine found out about the planet and decided to manipulate it into working for the Empire without them knowing the Empire existed. The Great Work could turn out to be some kind of weapon the Emperor wanted to use. They talk in the classroom about their duty being to "keep" the Republic "peaceful and strong."
A decent plot twist for the franchise would that the new republic is an imperial psyop. The deep empire was in charge the whole time. Palps clones stayed in a town home on coruscant.
In the real world of the Air Force, a lot of bomber aircraft had an "alert start" button. It was a big red button that could be smacked to power up the cockpit, fire up the APUs, and then start up the main engines. Add in some modern autopilot systems and it could taxi, take off, and go hit targets with out any further inputs. Having something like that in Star Wars isn't too far fetched.
@@Fistfullofpizza Depends. If you think something is a true change in course, then yes, support it. But if you feel it's an anomaly and nothing has really changed inside Disney/LucasFilm, then you're just supporting more future slop, even if one particular show was alright.
The only reason I tuned into The Skeleton Crew is because my 8 year old son was curious. Glad we did. The first two episodes are fun! Not spectacular, but definitely not terrible. Were it not for my child, though, I don’t think I would’ve given it a chance.
Robot Head is right. People had more of an attention span in the past. Todays kids want instant gratification. All the answers before it starts. Then opening credits, the end. Then they say it was nothing while crying their eye's out. Still saying it had no effect and they hated it. Just because their friend hates it.
You can see it in younger reactors too...they sit there and say..."What is that?? What is happening?? I don't get it??" So impatient to the point I end up quit watching their reactions
Hell kids movies used to get pretty dark too. Seems like every movie had at least one scene guaranteed to scar someone for life, and then you had the occasional really dark movie like dark crystal or American tale.
@kyriss12 Yep, remenber Atrayu's horse Artex dying in The Neverending Story. When my kids showed that to my grandchildren they shut the hell up.🤣🤣🤣🤣 The great grandchildren will be old enough to see that soon.
What shocked me is how much I didn't HATE the first two episodes. Slow, but overall I enjoyed it. This feels like a show that was designed to hit the buttons for us that grew up watching The Goonies, Stand By Me, etc etc.. But also appeal to younger kids. This is a Star Wars show that we can watch with our little younger kids.
I'm with Angry Badger. I think he's got a good take on the show. As far as these girls, thery are kinda acting like the girls from my old neighborhood, being bossy, getting guys to do stuff for them... that's what girls do. I loved it when Badger asked Reaper dont you know the difference between a bossy girl and a girl boss. Reaper obviously hasn't been around very many girls, at least not girls that age.
I also agree it was meant as a funny take on Charlie Sheens cameo in Ferris Bueller. Fern is like her mom, and has depth, but doesn't know everything, as becomes cleared later on.
To me, the difference between a "girl boss" (a term I've never used until now) and a "girl who's bossy" is pretty simple. Ripley in _Alien_ is a girl boss. She was trying to do her job and keep everyone safe. She took charge when she needed to in order to deal with the threat. She didn't berate or talk down to her shipmates to elevate herself. In the end, she did what she had to do to survive. It's a testament to how she was written because the character wasn't written to be a woman specifically. A "girl who is bossy" would be Captain Marvel. She bullies and belittles people she thinks are beneath her, and she abuses her power to harm people who are weaker than her simply because she thinks she has the right to do so.
@@zohzie nah their brains can’t comprehend something that contradicts their 2000 year old fairytale. These are the same people who wanted to boycott Bluey because a character had the audacity to say “me mums”
I’ve not watched it, but I hate the design of the elephant alien. It’s like they wandered through a gift shop, picked up an animal plushy and threw it to the designer. ‘Here. That’ll do.'
I think his species is in the movies too with the exact same design. If Disney actually had creative control over his design, they'd probably add way more detail and fluff.
Ever seen Return of the Jedi and Max Reboo in it? More humans continue to break my immersion because it’s completely statistically unrealistic to keep having them be all the important protagonist a galaxy of aliens ever produces. I just roll my eyes and become disinterested every time another show comes out with a human as the main character or there’s another human force sensitive Jedi. The force is almost as racist as the empire and Disney at this point lol but that makes sense since Disney is in charge so adds up. But aliens are cooler, are more distinct m, iconic and recognisable, have a chance at a better backstory and sell more toys. Solves all of Disney’s problems in one.
Costumes today don't look that great, the skillset has been lost to a degree I think due to the advent of constant CGI, the prop houses have largely disappeared. All the marvel costumes look just like painted fibreglass and vacuum formed plastic.
He's an edgelord, and his duotone voice and scouser accent is really grating. He also comes across as genuinely misogynistic, to me. Open Bar wouldn't lose anything by ditching him.
Good reason to be apathetic towards such disposable safe content nowadays (on top of the trash content). People that are quick to say the nicest things to not be "mean" are the first to memory hole these shows/movies less than a week later. Have zero respect for these toxic positivity style reviewers.
Reaper does have pure Incel vibes. There’s certainly valid reasons to be cynical about the show but to act that way about a 12 year old girl is very weird. It’s a child at the end of the day
I think part of it is from the rubbish that has been given to us for ages now that his opinion has probably become tainted and extremely bias against anything that might actually be good. Like Drinker has a negative opinion of The Hobbit trilogy
Since this is called "Star Wars meets the Goonies" let's compare the two in this one regard In the first few minutes, Goonies establishes: The Villains: They're smart and deadly. They shouldn't be taken lightly - jail escape, guard killed, they escape by using a 4 wheel drive rally that was happening the day it was planned The protagonists: while the chase is all happening, we see what's going on with them and it establishes their characters This is *just the first few minutes* With this, we have something that's quick and intelligent. Not just for kids, but a fun family movie that anyone can enjoy It does more in the first episode, it takes way too long. Then panel has pretty much agreed it's a filler. If aimed towards children, that's too boring. If aimed towards adults (not Disney/reddit adult, actual adults) then it's too childish. That said, if this is the best Disney Star Wars thing (behind Andor) then it shows how badly Disney screwed up, and how badly Season 3 of The Mandalorian screwed things up.
Disney SW peaked at the Mando S2 finale. THE PERFECT ending to that whole story arc, where everyone unanimously liked it, and it all got thrown in the trash when BOBF arrived.
The rot began with Book of Boba Fett in terms of the shows. That killed all the momentum that Mando 2 had. Kenobi killed whatever was left. By the time Mando 3 rolled around, it was already infected. I didn't even watch Andor, because after BoBF and Kenobi, what difference did it make? And as we've seen, it made zero difference. Didn't change what came before, didn't change what came after.
I haven't seen much of Disney Star Wars but something that I think is lost in the newer content that the OT had was how lived in and real the galaxy felt. There was logic to everything. A ship was treated like how you'd treat your car. The falcon throughout Empire Strikes Back was constantly breaking down. There are many minor scenes showing Han trying to maintain and fix his ship. That alone gives you the immersion that this is a real vehicle. Its not just gonna switch on and off when you feel like it. You have to take care of it and maintain it.. just like you would with your car. What's that phrase? "Take care of your car, the car will take care of you." So when the falcon does break down you don't think "what a convenient plot device," you think "oh shit what are they gonna do now." Even something like hyperspace is treated with respect and logic. You don't just flick a button and it gets you somewhere super fast. No, there's calculated coordinates needed. For all you know you could fly right into a planet or destroy a space station that's minding its own business. Star Wars is a space opera fantasy. But even Star Wars has rules and logic to its lore and universe mechanics. Seems alot of newer creators don't realize that. They just bank on what's already established without putting in effort to work with the established stuff to do something new with it. Easier said than done I know.. but I'm not a content creator. Directors, writers, producers etc.. its your job to think of this stuff.
I'm not going to bother. They effed up Dune: Prophecy as well, imo. They just grab big names and do surface level adaptations (at best). The weird thing with Star Wars is that there's plenty of 'source material' from the EU, but whatever...
Good show, enjoyable for an adult and a must see if this came out when I was a kid but 3 things I didn't like was Fern's too-cool-for-school demeanor and had to laugh as I got the Charlie Sheen reference the second they mentioned it. Everything was too dark to the point that I couldn't see a lot of what's going on that I ended up doing the dishes during a lot of the exploration of the ship. And lastly was the scene in school where they went around asking what career path they wanted, two said they wanted to be analysts which was fine, but then Wim was ridiculed for wanting to help people and face danger by being told "They have DROIDS for that" I thought "And they have super computers for analytical work, what's your point" In fact there's probably no job that *couldn't* be done by a droid or computer But otherwise I enjoyed it
Satire. Helping people end up servicing people which is what robots are for. They should had used servicing people but it's Disney having to cope with that many people are working for Disney to help people. Many don't know that Disney see itself as its own little planet and we living in their world. That's why the roads on the planet are made like a theme park. Which is why he is bullied for wanting to be what none really want on earth. If we had the choice to replace people we would had already, since robots costs 2/3 less of our energy and never complains. If we could we would save our economy by replacing these tasks with robots, since the ultimate goal is free humanity from debts of other humans, which is why all the homes in the show having their own robot.
It's made to look like the early eighties the time period when Star Wars was first coming out, I was a little kid at that time so this really lands The Nostalgia element for me
@@banhammer3904 Not seen much of it these days. Definitely in my day. My stepfather wouldn't allow me a key so sometimes I would wait for hours on the porch after school.
I watched the two episodes with my son and we both loved it. Humor is on point, extremely cute elephant kid, likeable enough characters, great visuals and a fun adventure.
My only concerns as noted in the video is Winn?(i think that's his name but it sounded like people called him Will at times) seems just 100% inept while the main girl sneaks in just shy of being an ace all around girl boss. I don't really have any baseline for Neil to live up to so if the MC boy is just worse than the girls in every way it seems a waste.
The main girl boss character has 2 Moms, which will be revealed in episode 3. The reviews and quality will start plummeting after that. More forced checklist agendas over consistent and classic storytelling. They purposely waited to release episode 3 a week later. There’s nothing but activists at Lucasfilm these days.
I did get a chuckle when the kids arrive at the station, and the first establishment they encounter is a WHORE HOUSE! lol I just wonder if that HOOKER that Fern talked to will end up joining the kids! :)
We also have to acknowledge that the volume is still a relatively new filmmaking tool, so with each project it is incorporated in, there comes new techniques in the ways you can use that to the projects advantage.
So is there a tie in to those little kids at the end of Last Jedi? I can barely remember it but I think there was a broom and the force involved somehow.
Skeleton Crew isn't made for me. I want Jedi, Sith, The Empire, The Rebels, the notorious bounty hunters, the cartels, the mandalorians. I don't want goonies in space
so your button/key doesn’t start your vehicle? That’s their nitpicking point. I get that it wouldn’t start self driving irl but ffs it’s the first episode of a kids fantasy show set in space and it’s hardly lore breaking.
"It's for kids" - I grew up with cartoon series where each episode was 20 minutes in total. When I watch some of them back, it amazes me that I understood the plot. We used to have to fill in the blanks a lot. Most dialogues were bad. Some of the things changed so fast, that you just had to believe that suddenly they had a scepter or something. So, as an adult - let's not be too hard on "quality." If there are lessons of morality and ethics - that's fine too. Many kids show had that. However, when they start introducing and promoting ideology and politics, then they deserve all the criticism.
I have a huge soft spot for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Watching some of those toons back, the plots are pretty basic. But it did well, of course, selling action figures. There's alot of corny stuff in Star Wars ANH as well.
They did casting for this in LA. Imagine being a background actor getting told "You're going to be in a Star Wars show" and the setting just ends up being Los Angeles.
It took only 75 seconds to pull me out of this show. That was the moment when the crewmember pulled back the _slide_ of his blaster to load it. Blasters have no slides, they're _energy weapons!_ They have _energy cells_ to power them. DUH! That show is SWINO!
Blasters can have any number of priming mechanisms and since blasters are the successors to projectile weapons it would make sense for them to have a familiar mechanism, similar to how trandoshans would use energy weapons with pump actions to load the energy cell for the sake of nostalgia, even irl people spend extra money to build retro styled guns
Wookie bowcasters have crossbow bars. Nightsisters have litteral energy bows. Star Wars is choke full of weapons that aren't necessarily the most efficient weapon, and who knows, maybe the blaster does need to be primed before the first shot is fired due to some (poor) design feature.
I don’t think it’s as good as Ahsoka but yeah would be better than everything else by quite a bit ahaha. Ahsoka and Andor for me are the only 2 decent or beyond things that have released since Mando season 1
@@thepoeticbutcher3370 Ahsoka is good. Doesn’t mean everything is brilliant writing or it’s great at all times but there were 2 episodes that were fantastic. A number of dumb moments for sure but everything evens out and it’s decent to good just like Mandalorian. Neither of them are special and very similar in quality with generic cliche tropes and simplistic writing. The only thing special that’s come out of the franchise since Clone Wars and Rebels is Andor and that’s it. Everything else has ranged from terrible to bad or decentish good like Mandalorian and Ahsoka
I kinda stopped watching these podcasts when it was becoming too angry and agressive.... but here, i really like the more nuanced takes... with some who like it more and others who don't... Personally, i really like it a lot, and am eager to see the next one.
Yeah. The reaction to the difference between a girlboss and a girl who is bossy was so deeply embarrassing that I thought it was a joke, but it wasn’t. >.>
I’m a dad, have nieces and nephews of a fairly wide age range and have family that work in elementary education. Kids are not into Star Wars and the last time they were was a long time ago in a galaxy far away. They need anything, that can make anyone of a young age, want to watch Star Wars.

I've long given up at this point. A surprisingly half decent show isn't gonna convince me to come back.
gun at my back.....maybe?
The original theatrical cut of the OG trilogy on blue ray.
Maybe revenge of the Sith around Christmas.
Certainly nothing new, ever.
I’d watch an 18-rated Star Wars series about an Imperial Agent who tortures the other characters - especially Rey
Skeleton Crew is just Goonies in Space.
Or treasure planet...depending on how old you are
@@Toxic_Drip_1995 Treasure Planet is leagues above this
What’s wrong with that?
I hate Goonies!
Just 12 year old boys screaming for 90 minutes
That sounds great
Thanks drinker for bringing in swtheory whenever there's star warsing going on :) him being the biggest sw channel I think it's a must
I would love to see Stupendous Wave join one of drinkers streams. I know he distances himself from streaming channels/other creators to do his own thing, but it would be so nice to see all the great creators that drinker has welcome him and enjoy his thoughts and input
So far I don't think Skeleton Crew is amazing, but as with The Angry Badger: I enjoyed episodes 1 and 2 and when they were over I was eager to see episode 3. I don't need an epic, just some light "Goonies in Space" entertainment that doesn't get bogged down with The Message or any sort of politics will be perfectly fine.
It’s a children’s show ……im so sick of the goonies thing saying that doesn’t automatically make it good …..or true
Any parent who still goes about thinking "Oh, it's a kid's show; who cares" shouldn't have children. Kid's shows are among the most important to keep an eye out for.
@@Knight-In-Green
Yeah, look at kids shows like Avatar The Last Airbender & Gravity Falls.
Those are kids shows that have a a LOT of versatile & subtlety in it's story, characters, lore, and humor that both kids AND adults can latch on to.
@@liamphibia Hard agree! Unfortunately I have no kids, so can't introduce ATLA to them. Might do with my nieces though, but their ill-attentive mothers have already been feeding them the LGHDTV+ Ipad kiddie propaganda, so I think it might be a sign it'd already be too late... if not just a more solid reason to buy it for them.
I watched both episodes with my young daughter last night and for the first time ever she is interested in star wars, she cant wait for episode 3.
"A lot of Tom in that Tomboy." Ha, never heard that one before. 😂
My disappointment for Star Wars has turned to apathy at this point. I want to be excited about something but Disney has completely shit the bed so bad that a single wet wipe of hope… won’t help. It only smears the despair in an attempt to clean it up.
A surprisingly apt metaphor. Nails the situation on the head. It's the same here, I used to be a big fan, but none of the new projects interest me anymore, except maybe Andor s2. I don't trust Disney Star Wars more than a seemingly shallow puddle.
Drinker started off Canadian (nice/polite) then quickly went British 🤣😂
Seems like The Angry Badger was the only one to offer a well-thought-out discussion of this show, along with Theory, of course
Love you guys, best critics i have seen
I initially scrolled past the thumbnail because it didn't even look like starwars besides from the x wings and i completely forgot this series was even going to be a thing
I couldn't sleep at 2:30 am so watched the first episode.
It wasn't bad.
It would have been better if the kids had all been friends from the beginning. The Fern character was close to bring likeable and close to being insufferable.
My 4 year old son loves ET. We actually live near where the flying bicycle scene was filmed and we love pointing out.
It's been pointed out (I believe a Forbes article even did) that they talk about everyone on the planet working towards the "Great Work" of the Republic, and the High Republic stories (unfortunately) talk about the "Great Works" plural, being large projects that the Republic was working on to advance the galaxy. So it is likely this planet was cut off during the High Republic and was working on some big project. They don't seem to know anything about the fall of the Old Republic or the rise of the Empire (though the leaders might). The way the planet's culture looks is an isolated evolution of the High Republic without any of the problems the Republic faced. It wouldn't surprise me if Palpatine found out about the planet and decided to manipulate it into working for the Empire without them knowing the Empire existed. The Great Work could turn out to be some kind of weapon the Emperor wanted to use. They talk in the classroom about their duty being to "keep" the Republic "peaceful and strong."
"You took too much of the piss" - SW Theory 2024.
A decent plot twist for the franchise would that the new republic is an imperial psyop. The deep empire was in charge the whole time. Palps clones stayed in a town home on coruscant.
That would be really great, but that's also why it's never going to happen.
This will invite extreme skepticism just at premise
This show is really good, and gets better with each episode.
So glad we have warriors like this to tell idiots what to like and what to watch.
I absolutely agree with the “I prepared to hate it, rather enjoyed it” comment dude made. That’s 100% how I felt going into it & during.
In the real world of the Air Force, a lot of bomber aircraft had an "alert start" button. It was a big red button that could be smacked to power up the cockpit, fire up the APUs, and then start up the main engines.
Add in some modern autopilot systems and it could taxi, take off, and go hit targets with out any further inputs.
Having something like that in Star Wars isn't too far fetched.
I actually liked it. It’s feels like that old 80s, 90s vibes. I was surprised I was going to like it
I thought it was great. Nothing too deep, fun, exciting. Me and my son love it
Even if this turns out to be decent (like with Andor supposedly) Disney doesn't deserve any viewership. It certainly won't be getting mine.
You should reward the behavior that you want. I sub'd for 2 months for Andor.
@@Fistfullofpizza Depends. If you think something is a true change in course, then yes, support it. But if you feel it's an anomaly and nothing has really changed inside Disney/LucasFilm, then you're just supporting more future slop, even if one particular show was alright.

The only reason I tuned into The Skeleton Crew is because my 8 year old son was curious. Glad we did. The first two episodes are fun! Not spectacular, but definitely not terrible. Were it not for my child, though, I don’t think I would’ve given it a chance.
Robot Head is right. People had more of an attention span in the past. Todays kids want instant gratification. All the answers before it starts. Then opening credits, the end. Then they say it was nothing while crying their eye's out. Still saying it had no effect and they hated it. Just because their friend hates it.
BAHAHAHHAHA people said something of the exact same vein for previous generation in every generation in the history of the world.
What?
Did you somehow miss the entire fad of "Just wait, they'll explain it in the next Season/movie!"?
You can see it in younger reactors too...they sit there and say..."What is that?? What is happening?? I don't get it??" So impatient to the point I end up quit watching their reactions
Hell kids movies used to get pretty dark too. Seems like every movie had at least one scene guaranteed to scar someone for life, and then you had the occasional really dark movie like dark crystal or American tale.
@kyriss12 Yep, remenber Atrayu's horse Artex dying in The Neverending Story. When my kids showed that to my grandchildren they shut the hell up.🤣🤣🤣🤣 The great grandchildren will be old enough to see that soon.
I canceled Disney+. I just don’t want to give them money.
What shocked me is how much I didn't HATE the first two episodes. Slow, but overall I enjoyed it. This feels like a show that was designed to hit the buttons for us that grew up watching The Goonies, Stand By Me, etc etc.. But also appeal to younger kids. This is a Star Wars show that we can watch with our little younger kids.
I'm with Angry Badger. I think he's got a good take on the show. As far as these girls, thery are kinda acting like the girls from my old neighborhood, being bossy, getting guys to do stuff for them... that's what girls do. I loved it when Badger asked Reaper dont you know the difference between a bossy girl and a girl boss. Reaper obviously hasn't been around very many girls, at least not girls that age.
You can tell for sure
I also agree it was meant as a funny take on Charlie
Sheens cameo in Ferris Bueller. Fern is like her mom, and has depth, but doesn't know everything, as becomes cleared later on.
6:05 Comparing E.T Vs Despicable Me
Is actually a fantastic example of how polar opposite Family/children films have gone since the 80’s 😂👍
Being slower paced than Despicable Me is NOT a negative dude
To me, the difference between a "girl boss" (a term I've never used until now) and a "girl who's bossy" is pretty simple. Ripley in _Alien_ is a girl boss. She was trying to do her job and keep everyone safe. She took charge when she needed to in order to deal with the threat. She didn't berate or talk down to her shipmates to elevate herself. In the end, she did what she had to do to survive. It's a testament to how she was written because the character wasn't written to be a woman specifically. A "girl who is bossy" would be Captain Marvel. She bullies and belittles people she thinks are beneath her, and she abuses her power to harm people who are weaker than her simply because she thinks she has the right to do so.

I’ve not watched it, but I hate the design of the elephant alien. It’s like they wandered through a gift shop, picked up an animal plushy and threw it to the designer. ‘Here. That’ll do.'
EXACTLY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯💯
I think his species is in the movies too with the exact same design. If Disney actually had creative control over his design, they'd probably add way more detail and fluff.
"Nah,it'll be fine." 😂😂😂
Ever seen Return of the Jedi and Max Reboo in it? More humans continue to break my immersion because it’s completely statistically unrealistic to keep having them be all the important protagonist a galaxy of aliens ever produces. I just roll my eyes and become disinterested every time another show comes out with a human as the main character or there’s another human force sensitive Jedi. The force is almost as racist as the empire and Disney at this point lol but that makes sense since Disney is in charge so adds up. But aliens are cooler, are more distinct m, iconic and recognisable, have a chance at a better backstory and sell more toys. Solves all of Disney’s problems in one.
Costumes today don't look that great, the skillset has been lost to a degree I think due to the advent of constant CGI, the prop houses have largely disappeared. All the marvel costumes look just like painted fibreglass and vacuum formed plastic.
I’m enjoying it a lot it brings a lot of things I loved out of the original trilogy great way to get a new generation into Star Wars
So Disney is trying their hand at what Star Trek already did. Star trek Prodigy already had this setup of character and plot.
Yep. Copying Star Trek is TIGHT, it seems
This is superior to prodigy
So?
Did Star Trek invent kids adventure stories ?
Love listening to the complainers!

The first episode was as much a setup of the mystery that is At Atton as it is about the characters. It went by quickly for me (63 retired)
Good reason to be apathetic towards such disposable safe content nowadays (on top of the trash content). People that are quick to say the nicest things to not be "mean" are the first to memory hole these shows/movies less than a week later. Have zero respect for these toxic positivity style reviewers.
Reaper does have pure Incel vibes. There’s certainly valid reasons to be cynical about the show but to act that way about a 12 year old girl is very weird. It’s a child at the end of the day
I think part of it is from the rubbish that has been given to us for ages now that his opinion has probably become tainted and extremely bias against anything that might actually be good. Like Drinker has a negative opinion of The Hobbit trilogy

No one made the compassion with the kids home planet to M. Night Shyamalan's The Village
It's nostalgic and Sometimes its cool to just like something. Novel concept
Since this is called "Star Wars meets the Goonies" let's compare the two in this one regard
In the first few minutes, Goonies establishes:
The Villains: They're smart and deadly. They shouldn't be taken lightly - jail escape, guard killed, they escape by using a 4 wheel drive rally that was happening the day it was planned
The protagonists: while the chase is all happening, we see what's going on with them and it establishes their characters
This is *just the first few minutes*
With this, we have something that's quick and intelligent. Not just for kids, but a fun family movie that anyone can enjoy
It does more in the first episode, it takes way too long. Then panel has pretty much agreed it's a filler. If aimed towards children, that's too boring. If aimed towards adults (not Disney/reddit adult, actual adults) then it's too childish.
That said, if this is the best Disney Star Wars thing (behind Andor) then it shows how badly Disney screwed up, and how badly Season 3 of The Mandalorian screwed things up.
Jack Black and the other woman messed it up since it felt like assholes who shouldn't be there.
Disney SW peaked at the Mando S2 finale. THE PERFECT ending to that whole story arc, where everyone unanimously liked it, and it all got thrown in the trash when BOBF arrived.
@@ZenMonkeyGod Mando was shit since season 1. Peak Disney Star Wars was Andor
The rot began with Book of Boba Fett in terms of the shows. That killed all the momentum that Mando 2 had. Kenobi killed whatever was left. By the time Mando 3 rolled around, it was already infected. I didn't even watch Andor, because after BoBF and Kenobi, what difference did it make? And as we've seen, it made zero difference. Didn't change what came before, didn't change what came after.
I haven't seen much of Disney Star Wars but something that I think is lost in the newer content that the OT had was how lived in and real the galaxy felt. There was logic to everything. A ship was treated like how you'd treat your car. The falcon throughout Empire Strikes Back was constantly breaking down. There are many minor scenes showing Han trying to maintain and fix his ship. That alone gives you the immersion that this is a real vehicle. Its not just gonna switch on and off when you feel like it. You have to take care of it and maintain it.. just like you would with your car. What's that phrase? "Take care of your car, the car will take care of you." So when the falcon does break down you don't think "what a convenient plot device," you think "oh shit what are they gonna do now."
Even something like hyperspace is treated with respect and logic. You don't just flick a button and it gets you somewhere super fast. No, there's calculated coordinates needed. For all you know you could fly right into a planet or destroy a space station that's minding its own business.
Star Wars is a space opera fantasy. But even Star Wars has rules and logic to its lore and universe mechanics. Seems alot of newer creators don't realize that. They just bank on what's already established without putting in effort to work with the established stuff to do something new with it.
Easier said than done I know.. but I'm not a content creator. Directors, writers, producers etc.. its your job to think of this stuff.
I'm not going to bother. They effed up Dune: Prophecy as well, imo. They just grab big names and do surface level adaptations (at best). The weird thing with Star Wars is that there's plenty of 'source material' from the EU, but whatever...
As a professional Disney hater and Star Wars lover, Skeleton Crew was actually good so far. Didn't mind it one bit
Good show, enjoyable for an adult and a must see if this came out when I was a kid but 3 things I didn't like was Fern's too-cool-for-school demeanor and had to laugh as I got the Charlie Sheen reference the second they mentioned it. Everything was too dark to the point that I couldn't see a lot of what's going on that I ended up doing the dishes during a lot of the exploration of the ship. And lastly was the scene in school where they went around asking what career path they wanted, two said they wanted to be analysts which was fine, but then Wim was ridiculed for wanting to help people and face danger by being told "They have DROIDS for that"
I thought "And they have super computers for analytical work, what's your point"
In fact there's probably no job that *couldn't* be done by a droid or computer
But otherwise I enjoyed it
Satire. Helping people end up servicing people which is what robots are for. They should had used servicing people but it's Disney having to cope with that many people are working for Disney to help people. Many don't know that Disney see itself as its own little planet and we living in their world. That's why the roads on the planet are made like a theme park. Which is why he is bullied for wanting to be what none really want on earth. If we had the choice to replace people we would had already, since robots costs 2/3 less of our energy and never complains. If we could we would save our economy by replacing these tasks with robots, since the ultimate goal is free humanity from debts of other humans, which is why all the homes in the show having their own robot.
It's made to look like the early eighties the time period when Star Wars was first coming out, I was a little kid at that time so this really lands The Nostalgia element for me
The fact that the main character was a Latchkey kid told me the target audience. I doubt anyone under 35 would relate to that.

Its a great show to watch while sorting laundry
I watched the two episodes with my son and we both loved it. Humor is on point, extremely cute elephant kid, likeable enough characters, great visuals and a fun adventure.
My only concerns as noted in the video is Winn?(i think that's his name but it sounded like people called him Will at times) seems just 100% inept while the main girl sneaks in just shy of being an ace all around girl boss.
I don't really have any baseline for Neil to live up to so if the MC boy is just worse than the girls in every way it seems a waste.
The main girl boss character has 2 Moms, which will be revealed in episode 3. The reviews and quality will start plummeting after that. More forced checklist agendas over consistent and classic storytelling. They purposely waited to release episode 3 a week later. There’s nothing but activists at Lucasfilm these days.
Same, but I have one eye open for woke agenda that will most likely find it's way into the show
I did get a chuckle when the kids arrive at the station, and the first establishment they encounter is a WHORE HOUSE! lol

This show is completely irrelevant. Just like Disney star wars

Mfer idk about you but when I press a button to start my car it doesn’t automatically get out on the road
so your button/key doesn’t start your vehicle? That’s their nitpicking point. I get that it wouldn’t start self driving irl but ffs it’s the first episode of a kids fantasy show set in space and it’s hardly lore breaking.
@@aeronblakefyre oh yeah please defend this with “it’s a movie about space wizards”
"It's for kids" - I grew up with cartoon series where each episode was 20 minutes in total. When I watch some of them back, it amazes me that I understood the plot. We used to have to fill in the blanks a lot. Most dialogues were bad. Some of the things changed so fast, that you just had to believe that suddenly they had a scepter or something.
So, as an adult - let's not be too hard on "quality." If there are lessons of morality and ethics - that's fine too. Many kids show had that. However, when they start introducing and promoting ideology and politics, then they deserve all the criticism.
I have a huge soft spot for He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. Watching some of those toons back, the plots are pretty basic. But it did well, of course, selling action figures. There's alot of corny stuff in Star Wars ANH as well.
They did casting for this in LA. Imagine being a background actor getting told "You're going to be in a Star Wars show" and the setting just ends up being Los Angeles.
Some of those aliens in the background are fairly creative and visually interesting. I'd have a blast getting to sit around on that pirate spaceport.
@markriedel1977 Certainly would be better than a lot of other sets. It's just funny that they clearly used LA as a backdrop for the home planet.
I actually really like it. It is just fun, and it has a lot of action. Can not wait for episode 4
It took only 75 seconds to pull me out of this show. That was the moment when the crewmember pulled back the _slide_ of his blaster to load it. Blasters have no slides, they're _energy weapons!_ They have _energy cells_ to power them. DUH! That show is SWINO!
Blasters can have any number of priming mechanisms and since blasters are the successors to projectile weapons it would make sense for them to have a familiar mechanism, similar to how trandoshans would use energy weapons with pump actions to load the energy cell for the sake of nostalgia, even irl people spend extra money to build retro styled guns
@@MyDouble okay but what blaster does use slides not used by trandoshans? We have never seen blasters be racked before
Wookie bowcasters have crossbow bars. Nightsisters have litteral energy bows. Star Wars is choke full of weapons that aren't necessarily the most efficient weapon, and who knows, maybe the blaster does need to be primed before the first shot is fired due to some (poor) design feature.
