The barrier is the size and look of a gas giant, like Jupiter.

It is concealing a normal looking M class planet like Earth( yes I know I switched Star franchises)

We just finished this tonight with the last two episodes. So much fun. Not overly ambitious. Not trying to make any kind of broader point or move any overarching theme. Just fun. So enjoyable.

It's great! Not too kiddy at all. More of a Goonies like adventure show.

So is this show any good?

Bad batch is about as kiddy as I wanna go for Star Wars.

Is it a cheese fest or worth it?

Feels like an 80's movie.

Skeleton Crew was possibly the most fun Star Wars has ever been. That was great storytelling with great characters. SM-33 might be our new favorite droid. I would love to see more shows like it.

My hope for the future of Star Wars is starting to be restored.

Watched the finale last night and really enjoyed it, they did a great job making an 80s Amblin style kids adventure without dumbing it down. Loved seeing KB save the day and the reveal of 33 next to her was absolute perfection.

Also thought they did a good job revealing just enough while still saving some mystery for future seasons, we still know very little about At Attin or her sister planets or the Great Work.

I wonder if it was just an abandoned world that continued to operate on its own. After the Clone Wars and fall of the Empire and the emissaries and other people in charge died off it was forgotten about, but as it was run by droids the world was self sustainable.

Still lots of story they could tell, I'm hopeful for a season 2.

My teen loved it. But admittedly she's a bit of a junky. We spent most of the quarantine watching clone wars as part of a chronological viewing of all SW content - movies and shows. Side comment: Anakin turning to the dark side makes a ton more sense in the context of clone wars.

Finally got to watch the last episode with the family. Lots of fun but the big highlight is that this show stood on its own….didnt need any big reveals or surprise characters to show up…

Jude Law was awesome! Definitely the highlight of the show but that doesn't mean the kid actors weren't good….Wim was the worst of the 4 in my opinion….Neel was hard to judge just cause of the costume…..KB and Fern I really liked how they acted….

And I just realized with writing that I was able to remember all the main characters names which is something I'm not usually good at….which gives credit to how good of a job they did developing these characters and making us care about them.

I didn't want a second season of Ashoka, Kenobi, Boba Fett, or the Acolyte….but I want a second season of this!

Unfortunately if numbers don't pick up we aren't going to get it.

Looks like they filmed a flashback scene of the Jedi that Jod talks about meeting briefly. But ultimately left it out, depriving us of a really hot female Jedi.



The directors explained to EW why they didn't keep it.

Ford: "The challenge though was, as fascinating as Jod is, we always wanted to keep it from the kids' perspective. The kids are like, 'I don't understand this guy.' They've never been out in the galaxy and met someone as damaged as him. So I don't think we could have done a flashback in this season."

Watts: "Yeah, not in this season. But what's great about Star Wars is that you start talking about someone's backstory and there's already a history and allure that surrounds it. So you start getting excited about, 'Oh, well, where do you place this person if it's X amount of years ago into this larger galactic timeline?' It's just such a rich world that you can have so many variations and varieties of characters and backstories, and it's just like limitless potential. It's very fun."

Glad they made that call

Any notes for those of us unable to watch and will forget to do so later?

Sure. Nothing revolutionary.

He liked Skeleton Crew, thought it was a good, serviceable, fun show.

Unfortunately, Disney has basically used up all their credit with the fans. People are tired of trying to invest their time in what ends up being a crap show.

Add in that he believes a large portion of the current Star Wars fan base is only interested in the "dopamine hit" of Jedis and Skywalkers and Vader. So good shows like Skeleton Crew and great shows like Andor don't have that hook from the original trilogy and therefore just don't garner the attention of the superficial Star Wars fans who only want to see those things. He thinks they need to take a good 5-10 year break from Star Wars content and reset.
