S2 E7: Reviewing "Skeleton Crew" Episodes 3 & 4 (SPOILERS) · Most Things Kenobi - A Star Wars Podcast

0:00
Hello there. Control your insolence and
0:03
concentrate it's. Time for most things, Kenobi.
0:20
Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of Most Things Kenobi, a
0:23
podcast about Obi Wan Kenobi and all things Star Wars.
0:26
I'm your host, Leanne. And I'm your host, Lauren.
0:30
I did it. I continued to watch Skeleton
0:33
Crew. I did it for you.
0:36
Y'all out there, I did it. Thank you.
0:38
And that's what we're talking about this week.
0:41
I hope it wasn't too much of A sacrifice, but I understand if
0:44
it is. I had a 5 hour layover when I
0:48
was coming back from visiting my parents and it was the best
0:51
thing to do during that 5 hour layover.
0:55
So I found myself a quiet spot and I, you know, I had my little
0:59
hot chocolate from the the coffee shop.
1:02
And I just. Snuggled in and said I got, you
1:05
know, what else am I going to do with my time?
1:09
And honestly, I didn't hate them as much as I hated the first two
1:12
episodes. Although I'm still like forcing
1:14
myself to to stay. There's a lot of times where I
1:17
rolled my eyes, but I'm trying to not do that.
1:22
I understand that because these I do feel like these two
1:25
episodes were not as good as the first two and I actually found
1:29
myself kind of doing the checking your watch thing on the
1:32
4th episode. Yeah.
1:35
Yeah, never a great sign, but. No, there's, there were nice
1:40
things about it that I was like, oh, that's nice.
1:44
Yeah, Yeah, there's a lot of cuteness.
1:47
Well. Yeah.
1:48
Before we get too deep, spoiler alert Yep.
1:51
Get give it to him more. Here we are.
1:54
We are going to talk about episodes three and four and
1:56
possibly one and two. Again, it might sneak in.
1:58
So if you haven't watched Skeleton Crew yet, stop now, go
2:02
watch, then come back because we are not going to hold back on
2:05
spoilers. So let's go.
2:08
All right, shall we start with Episode 3?
2:11
Yes, dead silence. I don't know where to start I.
2:23
Well, I guess it's where. And I don't know Jude Law's
2:27
character's name. I know that they refer to him as
2:29
Red Handed Jack, but is his name John?
2:33
Possibly he has a lot of aliases.
2:35
Yeah. The thing that no, it's Crimson
2:39
Jack, because I kept thinking Crimson Dawn every time they
2:43
said his name, right? Is it?
2:46
Yeah. I have to check now because I
2:48
thought it was a Peter Pan reference.
2:51
Oh, was it? See, I don't remember.
2:53
I don't even recall a single detail from Peter Pan other than
2:58
there's a girl in it. There's a girl in it.
3:03
In a nightgown and they're on a boat or something.
3:06
They fly away on a boat, out a window.
3:08
That's all I know. Yeah, OK, I thought it was red
3:13
handed Jack because I'm an idiot.
3:15
Well. That's probably what you were
3:17
thinking because of the the cross reference there with the
3:20
Crimson and the red and the Jack in the in the hand and the.
3:23
Yeah, because in. Peter Jack Handy.
3:25
Jack Handy? Oh my God, that's a throwback.
3:28
I used to have the like the Jack Handy books.
3:31
Oh yeah. That's from like what, early
3:36
90s, late 80s, early 90s? When I was in my prime.
3:40
Yeah, yeah. All of 10 years old.
3:46
Well I thought it was Crimson or red handed Jack because that's
3:51
what Wendy decides to call herself if she's going to be a
3:54
pirate in one version of Peter Pan, she's she's going to be red
3:58
handed Jill, Jack and Jill. I see.
4:00
Blah blah blah. Yeah, yeah.
4:01
But apparently. I'm an idiot and totally
4:03
misremember it was called so never mind.
4:07
It totally makes sense why you thought that though, because of
4:11
the red, you know. Well, and it's all like it's
4:14
basically just a one giant love letter to Spielberg movies and I
4:19
totally forgot that he did hook so.
4:22
He did. He did do hook.
4:24
He did do hook, yes. The only thing missing is Robin
4:26
Williams. May he rest in peace.
4:29
Yeah, I do love him. But Jude Law's intriguing the
4:34
Jedi references and the Jedi he's obviously not right.
4:40
It's just another guy's for him to fall under.
4:42
Although can he use the Force because he must?
4:46
I think so. I think he's force sensitive,
4:48
but he's not a Jedi. I think the kids just projected
4:51
Jedi on him and he was happy to not refute it.
4:54
Sure, whatever you want to call me, I am, you know and I you
4:59
know. And he wasn't wrong to say the
5:01
force flows through all of us because it does.
5:03
It's just some people know how to use it and tap into it.
5:05
Other people just ignore it or don't feel it at all.
5:09
It's just that all made sense to me.
5:11
Apparently the the nerdy girl with the headset.
5:14
She's my favorite character, believe it or.
5:16
Not. She's the one I identify with.
5:19
Like if I was a member of this like little crew of of children,
5:24
I would probably be her, the one that thinks too much.
5:27
I would be the elephant. Oh, but I love him so much.
5:32
He has a heart of gold. He does.
5:35
He's really precious. He's just an absolute precious
5:38
character. He's the Sam.
5:39
Get the Sam Gamge of this troupe of children for anyone who
5:46
understands Lord of the Rings. I mean the again, the Sean Aston
5:51
of the group. But yeah, I, I, I'm intrigued by
5:57
Jude Laws. He obviously knows what's what,
6:01
what what goes on. He knows some lore.
6:04
He knows enough to get him in trouble and enough to get them
6:07
out of trouble. He's he's a Jack of all trades.
6:10
But we don't know what exactly he is or where he comes from or
6:14
who, who do you work for? Like who?
6:18
Whose side are you on? He's it's a lot of scum, a lot
6:22
of scumbags, a lot of lot of what?
6:25
What's the word like? Scallywag.
6:28
Is that the word I'm looking? For.
6:29
Yeah, Mayor Duels. I loved that port they were in
6:33
just because I could have hung out there myself for a while.
6:35
You could cry, gossip for days and.
6:38
It's like Tortuga, right? Totally.
6:40
So yeah, it was just children should not be set free to their
6:45
own devices in a situation like that.
6:48
And like they're, they're between a rock and a hard place.
6:51
They don't know who to trust. I liked that they kept the kids
6:54
very, like, at least the girls, very skeptical of what do we
6:59
call him Jack? I don't know Jude Law.
7:03
Jude Law. Jude.
7:04
Let's call him Jude. Yeah, I remember the character's
7:08
name. Kevin always says we need to
7:10
watch with subtitles. And he's right, I should.
7:12
But. He is right.
7:13
He's always been right, he always will be right.
7:17
I think he enjoys not telling the full truth.
7:21
He's the only one who knows all of it, you know?
7:24
And he's keeping both the kids and the audience in the dark,
7:27
which is interesting. Yes.
7:28
At first people were wondering, is it magnets?
7:31
Is it like the character Haja from Kenobi?
7:35
Right. And he's using illusion and the
7:37
kids even said like mirrors, magnets, string, like you can
7:42
pretend to have the force with all sorts of waste, but he
7:44
really does seem to have it. It makes me wonder too, since
7:48
the Empire was hunting for sensitive children for sure, and
7:52
he's much older, so he must have been a child during the time of
7:57
the Empire, or at least a young person.
8:00
He would have had to hide. Oh, he would have been wise
8:03
enough. I think someone like his
8:05
character learns early on what to do, kind of like Jen Urso,
8:10
where you're 1 amongst many. You learn what, what to do, what
8:15
not to do, how to do it right. You know, you fly a little bit
8:19
under the under under the radar, so to speak, that sort of thing.
8:24
And I think he would have known pretty early on if he wasn't
8:27
told like, you got to, you got to put this away.
8:29
Yeah, you know. But he seems perfectly
8:32
comfortable flaunting it now and using it in front of kids.
8:36
And kids are not safe to tell secrets to, you know, Right.
8:41
It makes me wonder a lot about his character.
8:44
What kind of like, what is his motivation?
8:47
He it seems like treasure. But it also seems I was
8:51
suspicious that maybe he was working for somebody because he
8:55
could have let himself out of that cell at any time.
8:58
For sure for. Sure.
8:59
So was this all a big setup? Granted, him going back for the
9:03
Droid and the sound of the alarm that he broke out of jail, that
9:07
didn't seem like it would be part of a plan, but it doesn't
9:10
mean he's not in cahoots with somebody.
9:12
For sure, they might not be a pirate, they might be someone
9:17
higher up. I mean, what if it's Ventress?
9:22
Wouldn't that be something that. 'D be interesting.
9:25
You know, loyal to no one, but to the right person, she'll do a
9:29
favor. He might be of the same mind,
9:32
you know. Never.
9:33
Know, I don't know, it was funny, it was cute, but also
9:38
when he went back for the Droid, it was just kind of like, what's
9:42
the point of this? Just to like start a chase?
9:45
The chase was already happening without him being there because
9:48
they had found out he had escaped already.
9:51
I don't know, was it to build trust with the kids?
9:53
It was just it was a little bit weak and unnecessary.
9:57
Like a little side quest that so far hasn't proven to be.
10:01
I mean, they needed the Droid, but I guess they.
10:04
They did need the Droid they could have gotten.
10:06
Him on their way off world like. Why think of it different way?
10:10
They wait till they get back to the ship and then they're like,
10:12
oh, we need the Droid. It's just like, OK, whatever,
10:16
just go with that I guess. I thought it was weird how they
10:18
went when he when Jude Law went into like where they kept the
10:22
droids. It was like a hospital for
10:24
droids. Yeah, or like Jabba's torture
10:26
chamber where they like, are burning the droids with metal or
10:30
something. Yeah, I was getting the vision
10:33
like when C3PO and Empire Strikes Back is Dis, like he's
10:38
Dis dismembered, I guess and and like Chewie has to go round,
10:43
like get him up and move him. And he's all put together
10:46
backwards and. Yeah, yeah, I was getting a
10:49
vision of that, but it was a strange room.
10:52
I feel bad for droids. Everyone's always hating on him.
10:55
He's not very nice to them, is he?
10:57
No, and not not in the charming way that K2 is nice to people,
11:02
quote UN quote. You know, K2 was as loyal as
11:05
they come. And that makes me very sad.
11:08
It makes my heartbreak thinking about him and how good he was.
11:12
But we'll see where this guy goes because he answers to a
11:15
captain. And I don't know.
11:18
If any of you all out there, please, please comment.
11:23
Comment directly to us if you can answer this question.
11:29
Has anyone out there seen the show Lex LEXX?
11:36
I have not why? It's a cult.
11:41
I don't even want to say favorite from like the late 90s,
11:45
early 2000s. It's a terrible show.
11:47
It's real campy, it's real cheap and it was a Canadian German
11:52
sci-fi TV show. Nice.
11:55
OK. OK, it's really over sexualized
11:59
and over a lot of innuendos. OK for anyone, for the four
12:05
people besides myself that have seen it, please tell me if you
12:09
were getting Lex and Stanley vibes from this.
12:12
This may be an obscure reference no one knows about, but it
12:16
reminded me of the ship and the captain relationship from that
12:21
show. The Droid answering only to the
12:24
captain and I think that girl is super smart.
12:26
Fern, she's really got it together.
12:29
She's very confident. And then the realist part for me
12:32
was in whichever episode it was where she breaks down because
12:35
the weight of all of this is on her shoulders.
12:37
Bitch, do I ever feel that in my soul?
12:41
You know, the one that's expected to be at the top, like
12:43
her mother, you know, her mother is expecting her to be
12:46
everything and she can't be everything to everyone.
12:48
And I felt that that was that was a very mature scene for a
12:53
young person to have. I.
12:55
Think so too, like you said, for both kids.
12:58
Oh, for sure, yeah. We have this innocent one who
13:01
thinks it's all fun and games. And then we have this one who's
13:03
older than she seems or has been expected to be more mature than
13:06
her age allows. And it's the struggle.
13:09
It's like Luke and Leia, you know?
13:12
And I do think that we'll see Wim catch up to her.
13:16
Like, if he has any growth in this show, I think that those
13:19
two will be on an even playing field at some point.
13:21
And she will eventually befriend him in that way.
13:25
Right now she's keeping everyone at arm's length except for her
13:27
her her BFF there with the I can't wish I I'm trying.
13:31
I'm doing pretty good with the names, but I can't remember.
13:34
I'm terrible at them. I have no idea what their names
13:36
are. Wim and Neil are the only ones I
13:38
remember because they're. Sure, so hers is an initial
13:41
isn't it? Like BD or B?
13:43
Oh her her. Her name is KB.
13:46
KB OK. I thought it was something like
13:48
K All right. KB Fern, Wim, Neil and Crimson
13:55
Jack. Correct.
13:58
OK, although in IMDb he's listed as jod Nanay wood jod nanan jod
14:05
jod Nana would Nana would. I don't know where that emphasis
14:10
is on the syllable, so it's hard for me to know.
14:15
OK. All right, JOD, not John.
14:19
All right, that makes sense. Yeah.
14:21
I have a theory now about why that ship was on at Aten.
14:30
I was like, what's the planet called?
14:32
Totally forgot. Oh man I was so confused in that
14:34
one episode where they had at Dash whatever the planets it was
14:38
at Akin and at Aten. I'm like damn, you couldn't have
14:40
made this easier for my brain. Yeah, the I think it episode 4
14:46
has a lot to dive into with lore.
14:51
I have like mixed feelings about episode 4.
14:54
I felt like it it added a lot right at the end.
14:57
It like crammed a bunch of interesting stuff in like the
14:59
last five minutes, but then the whole thing about the children
15:05
at war dragged on a bit long I felt personally.
15:09
Yeah, it didn't really go anywhere either in the end.
15:12
Yeah, because Jod just showed up.
15:17
Jack, Jod, Jude, he showed up with all the EO PS and they
15:21
didn't have to do anything anyways.
15:22
It was very strange. Yeah, it was very strange.
15:25
Yeah, it like cut the scene real short.
15:27
It felt kind of like one of the Jedi apprentice novels where Obi
15:32
Wan goes and is part of the these children freedom fighters
15:36
and some other planet. And I just like don't have any
15:39
patience for it. I think the part that was nice
15:43
was seeing Neil being sweet and realizing that he's still brave.
15:48
Even though he is terrified, you know he's still.
15:50
Yeah, but I don't like when people's kindness is labeled
15:53
weak, because it's not. Well, and that's what she says
15:56
at the end, that it's not weakness, it makes you kind.
15:59
Yeah, I just hope that was absorbed by people.
16:02
Yeah, he was just such a sweet so.
16:06
And everyone else is kind of like fucking around with war
16:08
toys, like it's gonna be a game. Until they realized that it's a
16:13
real thing. Then you're going into battle.
16:15
But then it wasn't real because Jude Law showed up, and then
16:18
everybody was fine. Just like it was really strange.
16:21
Yeah. What was the point of that?
16:22
And then they end up at the end. Like that was the important part
16:26
because we have not spent more time on that part like.
16:30
Correct. I will tell you the only thing I
16:33
really loved about these two episodes was that fucking owl
16:37
cat. Yeah.
16:39
At first I was like, what the fuck is this?
16:42
And I'm like, no, this is kind of cool.
16:46
It. Was very Harry Potter.
16:49
It was like like a professor from Harry Potter.
16:53
Or like a professor from Harry Potter mixed with Indiana Jones.
16:58
Yeah, yeah, yes. I thought that was so fucking
17:02
interesting and she was kind of a a total backstabber.
17:06
But she's friends with X wing pilots, so who does she work
17:10
for, right? Who she encodes with, right?
17:13
Who's she reporting back? Who?
17:16
Who get the joke? Well, in her little costume,
17:21
kind of looks like an Empire costume.
17:24
So was she like working for the Empire?
17:26
Now she works for the Republic. What's her story?
17:29
Her story is she's in competition with with Chronic
17:34
for best Cape in Star Wars. She.
17:36
Wins. I think everything about her is
17:40
amazing. She did the whole like swoop in
17:43
and the whole like, I don't she was she had such an interesting
17:48
face because it was a cat's face, but she made noises that
17:52
were neither cat nor owl. She's got all these like
17:57
coordinates to shit. I need to know more.
18:00
Ahsoka needs to go visit her. I actually.
18:02
Had thought that. Yeah, I thought maybe there's
18:05
some offhand connection to the good guys, if you will.
18:09
She's an interesting one. The fact that she's just, she's
18:12
just got X wing pilots on speed dial, you know, like it's just
18:17
in her whole, the, the whole like astronomy setup and like
18:21
she lives on a fucking moon. Like I think how do you get real
18:24
estate like that? The first time ever in Star Wars
18:27
that we've seen an observatory. Yes.
18:30
How is this the first time? Right.
18:32
It's been missed like this is you would assume would be very
18:35
important, but I guess it's old fashioned because it's actually.
18:38
I guess like, yeah. What's the word the opposite of
18:43
digital Now I can't even remember.
18:44
My brain is totally fried all the time.
18:47
Analog. Thank you.
18:48
It's an analog building and now they just use holograms in Star
18:51
Wars. But.
18:52
I think it's cool. Honest to God.
18:54
I could talk to her character for hours and I, she was really
18:57
nice at the end, yeah, saying like, if you need anything, you
19:01
know who to call. She actually, her character very
19:04
much reminded me of Ma. Is her name Moz in the sequel
19:08
trilogy? Yeah, like, like a wise
19:11
character who kind of is just off on their own a little bit,
19:14
but knows the inside, Yeah, in a way, and has secrets and
19:18
treasures and information and stuff.
19:20
Maz Kanata. Yeah, yeah.
19:23
I looked up who voiced her because she had such interesting
19:26
voice. Did you ever?
19:27
Owl joke again. Sorry, God.
19:32
Have you ever watched Arrested Development?
19:35
No, don't hate me. No, it's, it's OK.
19:38
I don't know that. People have told me to watch.
19:40
It I mean, it's the first couple seasons were funny.
19:43
They probably don't hold up in today's outrage culture.
19:48
But the the newer seasons were not funny at all.
19:51
But she played maybe in that show.
19:53
And so to see her like getting to do some fun stuff with Star
19:58
Wars was really cool. And also Alfred Molina was in
20:02
this as well, who's a super famous British actor.
20:05
He was a voice of one of the pirates for just a few minutes.
20:09
Oh, how did you know that? I just did.
20:12
You just know that. Voice.
20:13
Yeah, he's just. Oh wow, that's pretty good.
20:16
He's a he's, he's a very good voice actor.
20:19
He's a great actor, but he does have, he's got this very
20:22
particular kind of British accent and I don't know.
20:25
Yeah, he was great. It was, he was the little like
20:29
also kind of like a bird, like an owl, bird hawk.
20:32
I don't know the the character that found Jude Law in the
20:36
Droid, the Droid room and they had like kind of a friendly
20:40
exchange. But then it's like, did the guy
20:42
turn him in? I think he did.
20:44
It was hard to tell. It was hard to tell.
20:46
He was a little. Are we talking about the
20:48
character that landed on the shoulder?
20:50
I got the vibes of the Kowakian monkeys that Matt Lanter voices
20:56
in Clone Wars that Hondo has. You know, these little pet that
21:00
crawls around. I was thinking of the same.
21:02
Full size character I don't. Know oh, I'm thinking of that
21:05
little like tree monkey that he's all hairy and skinny and
21:10
weirdy. Wanted the payment.
21:11
At the beginning he's the like fairy pilot I think at the.
21:14
Yeah, he's the the little fairy man.
21:15
So many strange characters in this.
21:20
I felt like there was so many shout outs, like subtle shout
21:23
outs in this. There were characters.
21:25
Oh yeah. Like bays in in the port.
21:28
The port had like was reminiscent to me of Jetta.
21:31
Like the Jetta market? Yeah, yeah.
21:35
Yeah. And then there was a character
21:37
who ran by shouting that Jod had gotten free and he looked like a
21:42
character from The Goonies. And then later at the very end
21:46
when we, which we haven't started talking about yet, but
21:49
when Smee, I'm gonna just call him Smee, the Droid starts
21:53
talking about the history of Aunt Anne and that if anyone
21:57
came looking, he was supposed to kill them.
22:00
That was like Back to the Future.
22:02
There's a scene with Biff that's exactly like that.
22:05
And I just feel like there's so many Spielberg references and I,
22:10
I, it's weird because at first I was like, I love that.
22:13
And then I'm like, these are George Lucas movies.
22:18
Yes, yes, why aren't we paying tribute to the man who created
22:21
this shit in the 1st? Place And like I know Spielberg
22:24
and Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy all produced together.
22:28
They were a production team. Got it.
22:31
But it. Seems a little weird.
22:33
Maybe this is actually shout outs to Kathy Kennedy more than
22:37
it is to Steven Spielberg. Because why are we doing
22:39
Spielberg in in Star Wars movies?
22:41
He was not related to those movies.
22:44
I don't know, it's just it was a thought I had.
22:48
So did you like the episodes? Then you know how we rated the
22:51
last few? How would you rate these?
22:56
I have mixed feelings about it. Like I I would say in general
22:58
yes yes I enjoyed it. Episode 3 I found parts of it
23:02
were weak but parts of it I really was intrigued by.
23:06
I really loved the visuals of them landing on the moon and
23:09
walking horizontally across. Like I gotta tell you, the the
23:13
visuals in this show are pretty damn good.
23:16
They're believable. Believable and very beautiful.
23:19
Yeah, well thought out. You can tell they care to make
23:22
it look a certain way and the references are just, I don't
23:26
know. I, I like even the gas giant
23:28
planet in the background it like look like Jupiter.
23:30
We haven't seen a planet that looked like that yet, and that
23:32
was really cool to see. We don't have a lot of gas
23:35
giants in the Star Wars universe that are talked about, I guess
23:38
because nothing goes on on them, right?
23:40
You can't. You can't land on it, so yeah.
23:43
Yeah, but no one ever references like going and hiding near one
23:46
or, you know, even dumping garbage how they they do, they
23:49
let it out through the vents and stuff.
23:51
Like you'd think you would just send it into a gas planet so it
23:54
could freeze or or burn up, I don't know.
23:57
But yeah, it's it's cool to get to see different stuff.
24:01
And, and when they were walking on the moon, I also noticed how
24:05
really nice that shot was. I was like, this is not
24:08
something we've gotten yet, which is hard to say.
24:11
We're getting through a lot of stuff, new stuff in Star Wars.
24:14
Yeah, it's very visually pleasing, I think.
24:17
I'm like you, I have mixed feelings because like I started
24:20
negative, right? And so now I'm trying to to
24:22
climb up from that and I, I am. But like you, I thought parts
24:27
drug on too much. The, the like the end of the
24:30
last episode, episode 4 just kind of was like a flop.
24:33
Well, the, the, the army part, like the, you know, walking with
24:37
the sticks and you got to be brave and I'll go with you.
24:40
And then it just didn't do anything.
24:42
I was like, oh, that's disappointing, you know?
24:44
There's a long sequence. Where I thought it was going was
24:49
that Neil was going to talk to them and maybe reason with them
24:52
and see how compromise is easy. I thought that was going to go
24:56
like the kid would teach the adults something.
24:58
Yes. And it didn't go that way, so.
25:00
I thought that too. It was, it was kind of like a
25:02
weird missed opportunity. I, I have these moments that
25:05
stuck out to me and then turned out to be nothing.
25:09
And I wonder if they're going to come back later.
25:12
But when they landed on at Accredit yeah, Akron, OH we're.
25:19
At Akron, yes. Jude Law said that he was like,
25:26
tastes like ash and he's like, that's like what my planet was
25:29
like where I grew up. I.
25:31
Think like you referenced earlier, there's something more
25:34
personal about finding whatever he's after.
25:37
It's under this blanket layer of, oh, treasure, but he lost
25:43
something else or is trying to gain something from his pat.
25:48
There's always something. Yeah, you know.
25:50
Well, and I wondered if he was from that planet because he was
25:54
so quick to be able to negotiate with the other side.
25:58
But they left that scene out. I did laugh really hard when he
26:00
kneeled down and he was like just shoot me and.
26:03
I was like, right, exactly. Relatable feels like that.
26:07
And if, if General Grievous would have been there, he would
26:10
have. So you got to be careful who you
26:13
say that to in this damn universe.
26:15
Yeah, Oh my gosh. But seriously, very relatable.
26:19
Just I don't have the, I don't have the energy for this.
26:24
I also noticed too the more SM33 was talking about and like kept
26:30
saying I can't recall anything about that and then they started
26:34
kind of opening up his memory. It's like first of all he was on
26:38
at Aton. That ship was buried probably
26:41
for a reason. If it was an accident or on
26:44
purpose, whatever the case may be.
26:46
Which means the person who left it there is probably still there
26:50
and told the Droid, shut the Droid down, said you don't know
26:53
anything, and then went like left to either blend into
26:58
society or find the treasure by like blending into society.
27:03
Not necessarily that they wanted to stay there for the rest of
27:05
their lives, but who knows? Right, right.
27:09
I think it has something to do with Fern's mother.
27:12
I think there's something there. Yeah, see, I think it has to do
27:15
with Wim's father. Oh, it maybe they're all.
27:18
Maybe they're like a whole HOA that was stuck there.
27:24
They're like a makeshift HOA and they all know the secret.
27:28
No one's saying anything. They have to make up appearances
27:31
and shit. Yeah.
27:32
It could be because they're, they're all so good and they're
27:36
all so committed to the idea. So it it's like either they came
27:42
and colonized it and hit it for a reason, or they snuck in and
27:48
I've blended into society to find the treasure that is, you
27:52
know, mythological. So, and because Wim feels so
27:56
bored and so ignored and he keeps feeling disappointed that,
27:59
oh, it's almost over. It was just starting to get
28:01
interesting. And it's like all along, your
28:03
dad is the original pirate, you know, like.
28:06
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I don't know.
28:09
There's something there. There's.
28:11
Something there and I'm and and the scene where all the parents
28:14
were together talking, Wim's dad was the only one turned away and
28:19
kind of not mentally engaged. Correct.
28:23
He's he's, he's wrestling with something.
28:25
Yeah. And at first I was like, oh, he
28:27
feels like, you know, it's a lost cause and how would they
28:30
ever find the children? And now I'm like, he knows about
28:33
that pirate ship already, and he's trying to.
28:35
Yeah. And he's wondering.
28:37
That's my theory so far. Those those police droids, those
28:42
things with the single I boy, I don't I don't want to get I
28:46
don't want to get like non star Warsy, but that shit scares me.
28:49
That's like AI. It's like the Tesla like robot.
28:55
Do I sound like a boomer? Dude, I'm so freaked out by this
28:59
stuff. I there's that like new Tesla
29:02
robot that will help around your house, Your TV spies on you.
29:06
Do you think Elon Musk's robot's not going to be taking notes
29:10
about everything you like at your house?
29:13
This fucking light block I was telling you about earlier turns
29:16
on when I stand up. Who's watching me besides Google
29:20
as your FBI agent? OK, well, listen here, FBI
29:23
Frank, whatever your name is, leave me and my cat and my my
29:29
Star Wars family alone. We don't want your kitchen help.
29:32
We don't want your help anywhere.
29:35
Don't want your kitchen help? Stay out of the kitchen.
29:41
No, but those things that's that's a guy's too.
29:44
That is a keep the peace so that you know, a Droid doesn't have
29:48
any inflection in his voice. It doesn't have any feelings.
29:51
It allegedly it doesn't. Have any it's?
29:53
Programmed so they can program the Droid to say stay in the
29:57
boundary, don't go above this, stay in here.
29:59
Like how, how convenient is that for these adults if they're
30:04
trying to hide something? I think that Jude Law's
30:07
character knows all of them somehow.
30:09
Somehow he he knows about. He's from one of those planets.
30:13
Yeah, I think so. I think so.
30:16
But and they they even reference when they when that owl Kim was
30:20
saying. Yes, Kim.
30:21
Kim the Owl. Cat, owl, cat, owl cat.
30:27
I love her. She was the one mentioning that
30:29
there were like multiple planets from the What did she say?
30:32
It was the Old Republic, I can't remember.
30:34
Yes, yeah, yeah. Yes, and that they were all
30:36
hidden, but that some of them were destroyed.
30:39
So he's probably from one of the destroyed planets.
30:42
So what happened is what if we put our theories together, these
30:47
other ones got destroyed. The survivors of the ones that
30:49
got destroyed that didn't abandoned those kids on the AT,
30:52
at Akron, wherever the fuck it is.
30:54
They colonized this one and said nobody talk about the other ones
30:58
because I bet you any money they all killed themselves.
31:00
That is such a good theory. It's over like some stupid shit.
31:06
Unless. Unless they were all ex empire
31:09
people and they went to find a safe hold and they thought
31:13
this'll do. That's an interesting theory
31:15
too. I know that the mother of Fern
31:18
said that she works for the New Republic or whatever, that they
31:20
could just say that they don't know anything about the the
31:23
actual war. Exactly the owl, the owl Kim
31:27
which she was asking them details and the kids didn't know
31:30
exactly. And they're like, what?
31:32
Yeah, they were like Aldoran. And she's like, you don't know
31:37
what happened to Aldoran. How do you not know what
31:41
happened to Aldoran, bitch? Rest in peace, Aldoran.
31:45
Gone but not forgotten. So they, the adults know about
31:48
the New Republic, but the kids don't know anything about the
31:51
war. So does that mean the adults
31:53
came here to take shelter during the war?
31:56
It's kind of like, have you seen the village?
32:00
It's. Like the village, the adults, I
32:04
didn't had all this terrible stuff happen to them.
32:07
So they bought a piece of land, built a wall around it, lived
32:11
like it was the olden times, had children, never told them the
32:14
truth and let everybody think it was this community when really
32:18
they're hiding from modern life. That's brilliant.
32:23
That's what this is, that's what they're doing.
32:26
That's. What it seems like it's like
32:28
Neverland. OK, All right, there's hope yet.
32:37
There's hope yet for this show. Listen, I'm going to keep.
32:39
I'm going to keep watching. It didn't turn me off the last
32:43
two episodes. I'm going.
32:43
I'm in it. I'm in it, folks.
32:45
I'm going to keep going. Well, do I like it?
32:47
No. But this talk that we're having
32:49
right now has me very intrigued to see where this ends up.
32:53
Yeah, I'm excited to see. And again, is this supposed to
32:57
be season 1? Is it a self-contained show?
33:00
Because Accolade had lots of cool questions and that got
33:03
fucking cancelled. So like, please, if, if it's if
33:08
you're not sure there's a season 2 wrap up some loose ends for
33:12
us, that would be super awesome. That would be awesome because
33:16
you can't make us like these people and then not do anything
33:19
with. I mean, they can, but that's not
33:21
nice. It's.
33:24
Not very polite, no. What would Neil say?
33:29
He's our moral compass. He's.
33:32
So fucking cute. I loved when he was asleep and
33:36
he was snoring like a little elephant honks.
33:39
No, I know, I know. Oh God, I want to go to their
33:45
house for dinner. Can you imagine that whole
33:46
family? Oh my God, they're so cute.
33:51
Oh, I rate it. I rate these episodes a
33:54
cumulative 7 out of 1010, being the highest.
33:59
Yeah, I would too. There was enough there to
34:01
intrigue me to want to keep watching.
34:03
It's not like I felt with Acolyte where I was like excited
34:06
to watch. It's like, Oh yeah, I'll, I'll
34:07
watch that when I have a minute. That'll be cute.
34:11
Have a cup of tea. Yes.
34:12
Yeah, sit, sit in an airport for five hours, no problem.
34:16
Yeah, exactly. But I'm I'm.
34:17
Turned out to be enjoyable. I'm hoping that they keep going
34:20
deeper and they keep putting some cool layers in.
34:23
There's so much potential here. Yes, yes, yes.
34:26
Don't throw it away like Episode 4's end.
34:29
Exactly. Don't blow it, guys.
34:32
Yeah. I will say Jude Law is very good
34:35
though. He's fantastic.
34:36
I mean, it's Jude Law. Yeah, he's fantastic.
34:39
And I, I like you can tell he likes those kids.
34:42
You know it was. Really cute when he, like,
34:45
rescued them. And then he was saying like,
34:47
well, how many furs and Neils? Like what?
34:49
He's like, I'm just kidding. I'm kidding.
34:50
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly.
34:51
I know. I I, I do wonder, like how much
34:54
of that was Jude in that, you know, I.
34:56
Wonder that too. Is it part of the character?
34:59
Is that just him like vibing with with the scenes?
35:02
I think you've I think you vibes.
35:03
I think he has a from what he said so far about the show, like
35:07
offhand, I think he has a deep respect for his his Co workers,
35:10
his Co, his Co characters, you know, like they're doing a
35:13
really good job. Those kids are holding their
35:15
own. Yeah.
35:15
Each one is very identifiable with their own personality and
35:19
their own core issues, if you will, their own struggles and
35:24
that sort of thing. And like you said in the the
35:26
previous episodes, the kids deserve to have a strong story
35:30
and their own, their own part in this greater Star Wars thing.
35:35
And I, I, I think so far so, so good with them.
35:38
Yes. All right.
35:45
This week our question is, what do you think Jude Law's
35:49
character's background is? Like, is he a good guy?
35:52
Is he a scoundrel? Was he part of a system of
35:56
planets that got destroyed? And he's trying to find, Like
35:59
what? What angle do you think his
36:02
character is? Good guy, bad guy, scoundrel,
36:05
innocent, innocent human in the universe just trying to find his
36:10
way? Let us know, because we don't
36:12
know. We're all guessing right now.
36:17
We'll keep guessing next time. We're going to keep going with
36:21
skeleton crews. So on our next episode, we will
36:23
be reviewing episodes 5:00 and 6:00 because I think there's 8
36:27
total, right? So we're halfway through.
36:30
So join us back here next time for that.
