S2 E9: Reviewing the Final Two Episodes of "Skeleton Crew" (SPOILERS) · Most Things Kenobi - A Star Wars Podcast

0:00
It's most things Kenobi. We always have the high ground,
0:05
Anakin. Hi everyone.
0:19
Welcome to another episode of Most Things Kenobi, a podcast
0:22
about Obi Wan Kenobi and all things Star Wars.
0:24
I'm your host, Lauren. And I'm your host, Leanne.
0:28
And this week we are finishing up Skeleton Crew.
0:31
We are going to talk about episode 7 and 8, which was the
0:35
finale. Yes, and we haven't talked about
0:37
it yet. You and I, we haven't even said
0:39
anything. We haven't, I literally just
0:42
watched it like an hour ago so. Oh, you got it fresh.
0:45
I watched it on the way home back home from my trip so.
0:49
Oh, I see. Well, I'm amazed it hasn't been
0:52
spoiled for me by now, because it's well.
0:54
I have no social media at this point.
0:56
Everything's been deleted. Everything.
0:59
Everything. 'S gone.
1:00
I'm on the verge. I I like cannot stand it
1:02
anymore. I I like having the MTK stuff,
1:05
but all my personal stuff I'm I'm done with it.
1:07
Yeah, well, what did you think? Overall, I think it was very
1:13
good. I really enjoyed it.
1:14
I do have like a desire for more wrap up than we got, but in
1:20
general I think it was really fun.
1:22
Yeah, I I wanted more out of the last two episodes only because I
1:29
think you and I came up with a better idea for that planet and
1:32
the parents than they did. I agree.
1:35
I is that sad? No, I think it it was what it
1:39
appeared unfortunately. I wanted so much more.
1:43
And yeah, and the what was his name?
1:46
The Chancellor? Who who's the who's the guy?
1:49
That wasn't a guy at all. It was a fucking Droid.
1:52
Oh, we didn't give our spoiler. Oh yeah, Spoiler alert, yeah.
1:58
Whoops. We'll put it in the title of the
2:01
episode. Yeah, so with that, that thing
2:05
was a Droid. I was disappointed.
2:08
I was too. I was.
2:10
I kept hoping right up until he stabbed it in the eye that it
2:14
was actually a person. Like the Wizard of Oz.
2:17
Yes, concealing their exactly exactly that.
2:22
I thought for sure it was exactly like the Wizard of Oz
2:25
cause they've ripped off of so many other formats I guess.
2:29
Yeah, yeah. For this show, I was like, that
2:31
would be hilarious if it was some dude in there like pulling
2:35
cranks and levers and just pretending to be a Droid and
2:38
then it wasn't. Thinking or like there's an
2:41
episode of Doctor Who that had almost an identical setup where
2:44
you come in, there's all these consoles, there's this thing in
2:47
the middle with all these wires and it it was like a person
2:51
attached to the network. And I was like, oh, maybe it's
2:56
going to be like that. And no, it was really just a big
2:58
Droid. It was just a big Droid, yeah.
3:03
I don't know, it looks very empire esque in there.
3:06
It did. It really did.
3:08
I was getting, I was getting vibes of, I don't know, I I
3:12
just, it wasn't, it was very dark for such a cheerful planet,
3:18
but the whole thing was it was a facade.
3:20
I really did like the idea of that protective layer around
3:26
like it was stormy and it was generated by those things.
3:31
Yeah, whatever they were. It was kind of like the Clone
3:34
Wars episode where Obi Wan and Anakin get stuck on that planet
3:37
and they can't get through because they're all connected
3:39
electronically with the barrier of their own.
3:42
It was like a meteor barrier. Droll.
3:45
Yeah. We were droll that like fishy.
3:49
Remember Obi Wan says like my twitchy friend.
3:54
He calls like a twitchy pirating guy.
4:00
Yes, Iego, Iego, whatever it is the.
4:03
Something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
4:05
You know, I was getting vibes of that and.
4:08
Me too. It's a good way to protect a
4:10
planet if you want it to be protected.
4:13
Yes, but OK. Like why was it there?
4:15
Why was it so protected? Why was it run by a Droid?
4:19
Why did the Republic know about it?
4:22
Like why did they know about the Jedi being traitors?
4:27
Like they didn't answer any questions about this it's just
4:31
it is what it is. Fine I guess, but like to have
4:34
us go this far into the lower and have no explanation at all
4:40
is a little disappointing. It it, it was a little
4:44
disappointing. You really have to be kind of
4:47
stupid to live on a planet and know that a Droid is running it
4:51
and not rebel against the Droid like.
4:56
Did they? Did they know it was a Droid?
4:59
Fern's mother made mention to meet the so and so is at such a
5:03
young age is such a privilege like so that told me that she
5:07
had met the whatever the title of this thing was what was.
5:11
Was it the secretary? Maybe I don't.
5:13
I can't remember now. So it made me think like, oh,
5:16
she's met the Droid before and in that case, the fuck?
5:23
I guess if they understood the importance of their safety, you
5:29
might not care. That's true, Yeah 'cause
5:32
everything was done for their safety and all this.
5:35
Yeah, even they, they, I even put subtitles on to hear what
5:38
the droids were saying exactly. And they say you will be stunned
5:41
for your safety. Yeah, right.
5:43
When the parents were running away trying to send the
5:45
communicator up into the Yeah, it's all very spooky then,
5:52
because it's like who, who is, who's the person or being that
5:59
started it at the beginning. And allegedly it's a part of
6:03
several other planets that were very similar.
6:05
Remember the the coordinates to at Aten were scribbled or
6:09
scraped out, so there's several others that fell.
6:14
What? Why I have to know more?
6:16
I have to know more. Right.
6:19
Like to to lay all this lore out and then wrap none of it up.
6:23
Explain none of it at all. Yeah, I think that was my
6:28
biggest problem with the show at that point at the end.
6:31
Me too, I was enjoying it but I kept feeling like I wanted more,
6:36
I needed more explanation. And then even the ending.
6:40
Even at the ending when the kids are all together and they just
6:44
show whim seeing the Republic ship come in and then they cut
6:47
to black, it's like what happened.
6:50
Yeah, yeah, Tell who got off that ship who isn't, wasn't it?
6:54
It looked like Leia's ship but like.
6:55
It did look like her ship. Yeah, like, and like, are we to
6:59
assume that Leia's a part of all this like we needed?
7:02
I don't know. I don't know.
7:04
The republics knew about this place even though they were
7:08
making old credits that were from the old Republic or
7:13
whatever it was. So are they.
7:15
Who is coming to get these credits?
7:18
Why are they still doing it if they knew that the Republic fell
7:22
and now there was the Empire and now there's the Republic the new
7:26
Like what the fuck guys I'm confused I need more
7:30
explanation. Yeah, I I try to not overthink
7:37
things, but it's hard not to when it's presented with all
7:40
this lore and then we don't get anything.
7:43
It was weird. It was weird.
7:45
I even, I really also felt like unsatisfied with Jod because
7:49
like, me too, the last time you see him, he's just walking up to
7:52
the window watching his ship go down.
7:54
And then he gets this look on his face like, huh, like he's
7:58
crafty. He's coming up with another
7:59
plan. Why did they just leave?
8:01
Him there? Why wasn't he arrested?
8:04
What the fuck? There was no resolution.
8:07
They literally left all this stuff hanging.
8:10
But that implied that there's not gonna be a Season 2.
8:12
I didn't get a sense that there was gonna be more.
8:15
I read one article that said that they left it so that if
8:18
people do want more, they could build from it, but they'd have
8:23
to wait and see. So yeah, I mean, maybe Jod gets
8:29
away with some of those credits, you know, like he doesn't have
8:32
to share because everybody went down.
8:34
And first of all, can I just say how rude it was for them to
8:38
shoot down that pirate ship and then just it just like fell into
8:42
the city and destroyed their city?
8:44
No. Who's going to rebuild?
8:46
That every time I see that in a movie, like a superhero movie,
8:51
I'm like, are there people in those buildings?
8:53
Did you just kill like 1000 people?
8:56
Yeah. Yeah, what the hell Yeah, I I
9:00
agree. I I had the same thought.
9:01
I was like, oh, oh, that's awful.
9:04
That's. Terrible.
9:05
And it went into the waterway. Does that poison their water?
9:07
Like how do we fix this? And how did their lights all
9:12
come back on at the end? I don't know.
9:15
I. I think why it, it's not like I
9:21
loved it. I really did love it.
9:22
I'm not trying to just shit talk the whole time, Right, right.
9:25
All I can say is because it was so good and they were building,
9:29
building, building every single episode to have it end in this
9:34
kind of kid show, air quotes kid show way where you just like.
9:39
And then the good guys arrived and everything was good again.
9:42
The lights came back on and we're done.
9:44
It's like that is the opposite of how you've been telling the
9:47
story. So.
9:47
Far. And so that's why it felt
9:51
incongruous to me that ending felt like it didn't completely
9:56
fit in with the way they've been constructing the story all
9:59
along. To be completely honest, I fast
10:02
forwarded through most of the little like speed bike chase.
10:07
I spent, I spent through it. I didn't watch it, so I don't
10:11
really know what happened. I just got to the end of it.
10:13
I was like, I'm not watching this Skip skip, skip, skip,
10:15
skip. There was a part that was really
10:17
funny during it. I laughed out loud, actually.
10:19
Really. Yes, because the dad is with
10:23
them and they make this jump over a gorge and you know, the
10:27
dad is like the dad is all I. Yeah, he he did it.
10:31
Yay. And they're like, come on.
10:33
And then I said skip, skip, skip because I I waited until it
10:35
looked like something was going to happen.
10:37
So I did see that part. It was cute.
10:39
Yeah. The the dad was a kid again.
10:41
Like let loose brother. Yeah, seriously.
10:44
Like, lighten up. Him and Ferns mom should get
10:47
together, that's what I. I thought that, like, for for a
10:52
moment there I was like, maybe he's the pirate captain and she
10:56
was the concubine. And like, no, they didn't wrap
10:59
up the pirate captain thing. They didn't do anything.
11:02
They didn't explain why the ship crash landed there, but there
11:05
was no pirate there. Like yeah, I'm confused.
11:08
Yeah, it was, it was, it was real good until they had to tie
11:13
it all together and they just didn't.
11:15
And I, yeah, have problems with that, but maybe, maybe we'll get
11:20
some anyway. Yeah.
11:22
It was. I was actually pleased that JA
11:26
didn't turn good in the end, 'cause sometimes it's just OK to
11:31
have a bad guy, someone who sucks.
11:34
Terrible like. This such.
11:36
A jerk. Oh my God.
11:39
I mean, the way he treated those kids in the end, brutal.
11:43
It was probably hard for him to like, act that out 'cause he
11:46
probably really liked those, those actors and actresses,
11:49
those kids in real life, That would make me feel bad.
11:54
He made them all cry. He was mean to kneel.
11:59
I. Know Neil is such a he.
12:02
When that big blast went off, I was not expecting that to be
12:06
Neil and it was him. So cute I.
12:09
Liked him in the bathtub. When the lights went off, he was
12:12
just in this giant bathtub. Surrounded by bubbles.
12:16
It was kind of cute. I like that he goes home and
12:20
gets a bubble bath. Yes yes his family was pure like
12:24
they were so cute and I really like K BS.
12:30
Is it KB K BS parents? Yeah.
12:34
And I liked, I liked all of them.
12:35
I just, there's just so many questions, so many questions.
12:41
Yeah, I know. I feel bad.
12:43
Like I wanna shift from being my complaints to like what I like
12:48
about it. Well, I did.
12:50
I did. Like it.
12:51
It was beautiful again. Some of the cinematography is so
12:55
good. Yeah.
12:56
Lighting in some of those shots like on the kids faces when the
13:00
barrier just like disintegrates and there's left staring at the
13:05
planet. I was like, that's a beautiful
13:07
shot. That's yeah, that's high, high
13:10
quality shit right there. I even like the shot of Jod
13:14
seeing the gold in the the vault where it was like the tray of
13:20
gold right in front of him and it was very shallow depth of
13:24
field. You couldn't see anything but
13:26
the gold in his face and he like almost started to cry.
13:30
That was a beautifully constructed shot.
13:32
Also, he really was bad like he was.
13:36
He just wanted that gold. The gold is what brought him to
13:41
tears, not any of the humanity. Truly, truly.
13:45
I mean, there's a well, what did you think of his Jedi back
13:48
story? He kind of had the similar tale
13:51
of Kanan Jaras. It was very interesting that
13:56
that they even said anything at all.
13:59
I'm glad they did. I'm glad they wrapped that up at
14:01
least. Yeah, apparently he was found by
14:05
a Jedi after Order 66 it sounded like.
14:10
Right, right. Because he said she was ragged
14:13
like he was, so that sounds like she was on the run.
14:17
Oh that would make sense. So a female on the run that made
14:21
it out of order 66 could be anybody.
14:25
But they've murdered her in front of him, so yeah, who
14:28
knows. I'm trying to think like
14:30
timeline wise, the Empire exists about 18 years, right?
14:36
1819 years before Luke Skywalker comes of age, right?
14:40
Like because it's from when they're born until A New Hope
14:44
starts. So that's like.
14:45
Correct. 18 years. So like if you subtract 18 years
14:50
from JOD, he's pretty old by the time he's found.
14:54
So did he. If we're saying that he was
14:57
found after order 66. Yeah.
15:02
Which maybe doesn't time out. You would think they'd make sure
15:06
that made sense. He would be like 11 years old or
15:10
something. How old is?
15:13
I mean, well, we don't know what age he's supposed to be in this.
15:16
Yeah, I mean, Jude's law, we're going on for sure, but.
15:19
Yeah, exactly. I don't.
15:20
Know, yeah, I don't know. I think he's pushing 50.
15:23
I want to say he's probably going to say 40s, early 50s as
15:27
an actor. Correct the.
15:29
Character. Who knows?
15:31
He can't be Obi Wan's brother now I guess.
15:33
No Damn, another good idea wasted.
15:38
Holy crap did that piss some people off when I posted that.
15:42
Which is fine, I don't care. I thought it was delightful that
15:45
it generated that much anger. Damn, just it's just a thought
15:50
folks. Just a thought.
15:55
Yeah, you know, everyone on not everyone, but I got, well,
16:00
actual lead a lot, which is fine.
16:02
I really, I knew it would piss some people off, which is fine,
16:05
I don't care. But either way, isn't.
16:06
That how the Internet works. Yeah.
16:11
Isn't that like how it's run? Yeah, not by us, but.
16:15
No, Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't know what timeline it
16:19
would have made. I mean even if he was found
16:23
before Order 66. Either way he was probably not
16:28
with the Jedi for very long before she was.
16:32
He said they tracked her down and killed her in front of him
16:35
so that he would know what happened to Jedi.
16:37
Why didn't they take him? I don't know.
16:40
Definitely not a Vader kill. He was nowhere in that vicinity,
16:47
I I guarantee you. Yeah, I kept wondering if the
16:54
God I can't the administrator, is that what it was called I.
16:57
Can't remember, was the administrator?
16:59
Yeah, maybe. Whatever the big Droid was, I
17:02
kept thinking it was just an eyeball for like Palpatine, but
17:10
it I don't think it was, but it could have been.
17:14
I mean, maybe at one point, but. Yeah.
17:17
Now the New Republic, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
17:21
I don't know. It makes sense if you want to go
17:23
with the theory that they had to have a Droid, that maybe if they
17:28
had a like a actual human or some species running the planet
17:34
full of money it would go corrupt eventually.
17:36
So a Droid is neither. Good point.
17:39
He's he or she is not biased like it's just a machine told
17:42
what to do. Yeah.
17:44
I still want the Wizard of Oz moment.
17:48
I kept waiting. Behind the curtain is a person.
17:54
Yeah, fun, fun fact, that was voiced by Stephen Fry, who is
17:58
also like a pretty famous British actor.
18:01
He was in Sherlock Holmes with Jude Law, actually.
18:04
Oh, there you go. Oh, they could have had a nice
18:06
little reference there. When are they going to hire us
18:11
to write this shit? Or at least contribute to the
18:15
writing to idiuk some collaboration?
18:18
We're free, both of us believe us.
18:21
Believe us when we say we will drop what we're doing currently
18:24
to help. Yeah, send us your scripts and
18:28
we'll just tweak them to get a little better.
18:31
There's like, it was really good.
18:33
I really enjoyed the show. I thought it was very
18:36
entertaining. I was feeling emotions, you
18:41
know, watching it, but it was it just like almost didn't really
18:46
fully stick the landing like it was landed, but it could have
18:50
been a level up better. Totally, totally.
18:54
Yeah. Yep.
18:56
I. Loved the imagery when they
18:58
opened the ship and KB fell out with all the gold.
19:02
Yeah, yeah. That was super cool.
19:05
I really liked that moment. I was like, that is really
19:08
creative. Well, not only that, but she
19:11
fell, she was on top of it, obviously.
19:13
So she is more valuable than all of the gold beneath her.
19:18
And that should be the point of the show.
19:20
Like the treasure is the people around you and who you love and
19:24
what you do to come together and all this stuff.
19:26
But I I did really like the final shot of Whim since it was
19:31
all his doing I guess his story. Yeah.
19:36
And then the final credits were his flip, his flip story, his
19:41
little. Book.
19:43
Yeah, Yeah. Which I thought was fabulous.
19:46
I thought that was a great, I mean, it's very Marvel.
19:51
But it was, it was, you know, telling a little tale and tying
19:56
it all together with some nice and end scene credits.
19:59
Type stuff. Yeah, well, it's like the story
20:01
within the story that's taking place.
20:04
I did try to research to see what those scenes were and
20:09
there's mixed commentary. I guess that that it isn't any
20:14
specific story, although some said it could be JAD's story.
20:20
I actually wondered that looking at the sequence at the end.
20:23
Now that we know JAD's story, I started to wonder if it was him
20:27
because it was a young padawan with a female Jedi Master.
20:31
Yeah. And yeah, I don't know, I
20:35
wondered that. And then there was a moment
20:36
where you could see it was the kids story.
20:38
Yeah, yeah. Which is added to, I like the
20:42
idea if it's going to be a story, I like it, random hero
20:46
tales, and then theirs is added to it because they became the
20:49
heroes of their own tale. And I think that is just lovely.
20:54
Yeah, I loved how they all got close at the end and they were
20:57
all good, good friends by the end in a very like, sincere way
21:01
that didn't feel super contrived.
21:03
It felt very natural the way that all their friendships
21:06
developed and it was actually really rewarding to see them as
21:11
they got closer, job became worse and worse.
21:13
Yeah, yeah. You know, they were in inverse
21:17
relationship. It was interesting.
21:20
And then that's a good point. It also it put is conversation,
21:25
JAD's conversation with Wim from the other episode in more
21:28
perspective. When Wim was crying and JAD sat
21:32
down and talked to him, it's like he was manipulating him.
21:35
He was not being nice because then at the end he was so brutal
21:40
to the kid that he starts crying.
21:42
It was just like, oh, you are a bastard.
21:47
Not, not a great person, although I could see why he
21:53
would feel the way he does. It's difficult knowing what we
21:56
know about the Jedi, what happened, what we know about the
22:01
Empire, what happened. He's kind of in that weird
22:06
grudge in the middle where he wanted to be accepted.
22:10
He thought he could be something and it didn't work out.
22:13
How many times have we seen that?
22:14
You know, Asajj Ventress, for instance?
22:16
They become bitter, they become disimpassioned, they become just
22:21
some weird Gray area in the middle where they have these
22:24
talents but they can't trust anybody.
22:28
And if they show it, they could die and all this stuff.
22:31
And it's really a terrible place to be.
22:32
But there's also a lot of chance for redemption and to be a good
22:37
person. And we see that he did not
22:40
choose that path. He did not choose that path.
22:45
Yeah, it was almost more like redemption for the parents
22:48
instead of JOD. Yeah, really, Really.
22:50
Because Oh my God, how many times did you want to slap the
22:53
parents? Because they're doing parent
22:54
things and being adults and like the kids are like, let's just
22:57
act. We have to move.
22:59
We know what's going on. And they're like, hold on a
23:01
second. I have to try and start this
23:03
speed bike. Like that dad is such a dad.
23:05
I I totally get it. Like, totally, yeah.
23:10
But you're right, it's redemption for the parents too.
23:15
Yeah, by the end, it was, it was nice to see that even though the
23:18
kids had disobeyed and gone off to space, that they were still,
23:23
like, loved, and they weren't going to really get in trouble
23:26
when they came back. Well the only people to to to
23:29
punish them were the fucking droids.
23:32
Yeah, for their own safety, you must be punished.
23:36
Isn't that just what humanity tells us, right?
23:39
Yeah, yeah, It's weirdly, Yeah. An echo chamber.
23:44
Yeah. What I liked, by the end, you
23:49
could see the dad's courage growing and then Fern's mother's
23:55
courage and they ended up all working together and that was
23:59
all the handles. It was great.
24:04
It was really cool moment and. It was, it was a choice for the
24:07
adults to completely erode away the thing they believed in,
24:11
which is difficult for anyone because once you cross that,
24:15
there's no going back. Like the thing they always
24:17
believed in, they had to go against and trust to make it
24:22
better. And they didn't know if it would
24:23
get better on the other side. And that was what that all the
24:26
hands on that lever symbolize. It's, it's the fear of the
24:30
unknown. And and you only know one way
24:32
and you're told this, but, you know, things could get better if
24:36
you go against that. And that takes a lot of courage.
24:40
But I'm speaking very generally because we could apply that to
24:43
many instances in our lives. Oh, yeah.
24:46
I think it's a real adult thing or with kids, young adults, to
24:53
cross that barrier into the unknown and do something scary.
24:58
I think that was a very innocent perspective on life cause
25:04
history proves in general it does not get better.
25:08
Usually in those circumstances you let outsiders in in a way,
25:14
especially in Star Wars. You know, I kept thinking, like,
25:19
once the pirates are down there, life is never gonna be the same.
25:24
Because if they ever are allowed to leave again, they're going to
25:28
tell other people. They'll give other people the
25:30
coordinates. Somehow it's going to start
25:32
getting out and their little bubble of safety is over.
25:35
The minute those kids left, the safety was in jeopardy.
25:41
And who knows if the Republic is actually going to be able to
25:45
protect them properly. I wonder if they'll just move to
25:48
another planet, do it all over again.
25:50
Maybe that's what happened to the other.
25:52
I wish we knew. Well that's what I was thinking
25:56
too. Is like if they created the
25:58
barrier, there's no reason they can't do it again at some point
26:02
if need be. Why?
26:03
Did they do? It on our.
26:04
Planets like damn. I don't know, 'cause money is
26:09
important, I guess. I mean, they've got this forge,
26:14
but they don't talk about how like it.
26:17
I won't even go down this path talking about the value of real
26:20
money 'cause it's too boring and I couldn't care less.
26:23
But you know, if you no one ever comes there.
26:29
So why are they making the money?
26:31
How are they so profitable? I don't understand.
26:35
I have. I have a shit ton of questions.
26:38
Yeah, I, yeah. Actually, it could be its own
26:41
story. Seriously, the.
26:44
Hows and why's of at at and you know?
26:48
Yeah, like the real history of it.
26:50
I'm curious to know more. I wouldn't be sad if they made
26:54
more episodes. Like if they wanted to do a
26:56
season 2, I would totally watch it.
26:58
I'd be excited to watch it. And I enjoyed how much I got
27:04
invested, you know, by the end. And I really liked the kids.
27:09
I think they're such good actors.
27:12
Hands down they get all of my respect in the world.
27:15
Damn. Yeah, they were excellent.
27:18
And Fern, I was feeling her anger.
27:21
Oh my. God, so was I.
27:24
Those looks she gave the. Snarly yeah, she's getting that.
27:29
Yeah, it was great. I would follow her.
27:31
I would let her pilot my ship. Yeah.
27:34
Yeah, she's got some confidence. It's great.
27:37
How did you feel when he took out the lightsaber and cut off
27:42
SM 33's? Head I wasn't totally upset
27:45
because I I was like annoyed by that Droid by the end, like him
27:48
flipping sides and and the way he talked and the stumpy leg and
27:52
I was just like, I'm done with this.
27:54
Like it was a little brutal. I wasn't expecting it.
27:58
Yeah, but I'm glad he didn't. Step on the little mouse that
28:03
was living in the droids. You know how I am about live
28:07
animals and live creatures. I was waiting.
28:10
I said I'm turning this off and they didn't step.
28:12
Thank you. Thank you for not killing the
28:14
innocent thing that lived in his helmet.
28:16
Damn, Give it to Neil. Neil took care of it.
28:20
He can take. Neil took a liking to that
28:23
little guy. It was kind of cute by the end
28:26
how KB had it on top of her head and she was flying out to send a
28:31
message to that to Kim the. Owl Yes, I'm glad Kim came back.
28:36
The owl Cat the cat the feline owl of.
28:40
Weird be there in 2 flaps. I thought that was.
28:43
I know, I think that's cute. I really like her.
28:47
I do too. I hope she comes back and more
28:49
stories 'cause she was fun. So overall, what would you rate
28:54
the series? Like out of 1010 being fabulous.
28:58
The best, yeah. I would give it a six.
29:02
A6. How about you?
29:04
I would say like a 7 1/2 to an 8.
29:07
OK. I really enjoyed it and I was
29:10
really, really hoping for some more depth.
29:14
I thought we were getting it. Yeah.
29:17
I would rate it an 8 if it wasn't for the last episode not
29:21
tying things up. Yeah, I, I, I can't deny that I
29:25
came away feeling a little like, yeah, like I felt like there was
29:30
more to the story and it was good.
29:32
I really enjoyed it. They wrapped it up pretty well.
29:34
I loved when the barrier came down and everyone saw the stars
29:39
for the 1st. Time.
29:40
There's a whole Galaxy out there.
29:42
And didn't Fern say there's a lot of good people too?
29:46
Yeah, that was very beautiful, that sentiment.
29:49
Yeah. Yeah, and then Whim telling his
29:51
dad that I've seen, you know, you can't Unsee what you've
29:54
seen, you know, now that there's options and.
29:58
I forgot to add my personal two cents on that barrier coming
30:02
down. Did you notice wind started when
30:05
the barrier came down and they looked up, the trees started
30:08
rustling. I said yes, yes, weather now
30:10
begins. The weather patterns will now
30:13
begin. Now that there's no fucking
30:16
protective barrier, you will now have storms.
30:19
I'm I'm afraid to let y'all in on something.
30:21
This is going to say put the barrier back quick.
30:25
I don't know entirely what the thermal processes are on that
30:29
the thermal dynamic processes are on that planet, but I did
30:33
notice the trees started rustling.
30:35
That means weather is starting. You know what I thought too was
30:39
they're lucky they have an atmosphere because it's.
30:42
Totally. And also, was it safe to live
30:45
under an electrical barrier for your whole?
30:48
Like what kind of diseases would that cause?
30:50
Well shit, that's like living under a power line, right?
30:52
They say you can't, You shouldn't live near power lines.
30:56
We're overthinking this, God damn it.
30:59
Well, and there's a moon. They had a moon.
31:01
They didn't have a barriers. Down.
31:03
They're going to have tides. Gaps apps?
31:06
Do they have oceans? Hurricanes.
31:09
Oh no, they're going to need a meteorologist, darn it.
31:16
You might have to apply. OK, that was fun.
31:22
It was fun. I liked I liked it.
31:24
I, I, I hated the first couple of I really hated a lot of the
31:28
like lengthy chase and screaming scenes.
31:32
But if I fast forwarded through those, it was wasn't a bad show.
31:36
You know what though, I'm going to be honest, I Fast forward
31:38
that stuff in the original trilogy and the prequels and
31:41
pretty much anywhere after you've seen everything the first
31:45
time. That's true or for me.
31:48
The first 100 times, after that you can start to skip around and
31:52
like when I wear watch Return of the Jedi now.
31:55
I only watched Luke's story. I never watched anything else.
32:00
Hater. No, I'm just kidding.
32:02
No. I don't I don't need to see them
32:06
like doing the same battle that they did in New Hope again.
32:10
I just, yeah, yeah. So, so, yeah, I think it's very
32:16
Star Warsy, let's say. It's in keeping with the
32:20
totally. And it's very George Lucas, very
32:23
Spielberg to have this kind of inner cutting of action
32:28
sequences with something super emotional going on in another
32:31
story. So you cut back and forth
32:33
between that. Yeah, that's that emotional
32:35
space. So 6 out of 10 for me and seven
32:39
and a half did you say? Yeah, 7 1/2 for me, not bad.
32:43
I would watch it again for sure, especially if there's a season 2
32:46
out of rewatch. I think that would be a lot of
32:49
stuff to go back and like nitty gritty, look for Easter eggs and
32:54
stuff like that. I bet there's a lot hidden in
32:56
this show. I was just, I mean, our episodes
33:00
have been more about like reactions and less about deep
33:04
diving, but we don't need to do that now.
33:07
We'll save that for Andor. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
33:10
Which we should do a rewatch of that because that's coming out
33:13
in a couple months. So yeah, yeah, can't wait for
33:16
that. It's going to destroy me.
33:18
I'm going to be destroyed. You're going to bury me.
33:22
Don't bury me, Viking. Funeral Me.
33:24
Viking funeral. This woman, Yes.
33:28
You know my wishes. Yes, and we will honor them and
33:33
you all know mine. We'll try and make it happen for
33:37
you, Leanne. We'll do our best.
33:39
I appreciate that you're a good friend.
33:48
OK, our question for you, what are your thoughts now that
33:52
skeleton crews over, what are your general thoughts on it?
33:54
How did you feel about the show? Did you like it?
33:57
How would you rate it out of 10? You know we gave our ratings now
34:01
you give us yours. I would love we would love to
34:04
hear your thoughts. And our next episode, we're
34:09
going back to Obi Wan because we.
34:12
Hell yes. We we've been on vacation from
34:14
Obi Wan and you know, with good purpose for good reason.
34:18
We had skeleton crew, but we got to go back to the man himself.
34:22
So our next episode is we're just going to talk about our
34:26
favorite moments from the Kenobi series.
34:28
Because while Lauren and I have actually done reviews of every
34:33
single Kenobi episode, we haven't really talked about the
34:36
nuanced moments that made us really fall in love with him as
34:40
the character all over again that happened in those episodes.
34:43
So that's what we're going to discuss.
34:45
Join us back here and just fall in love all over again with us
34:49
because that's what we do here. All right, And our last episode
34:56
we asked a totally random question and I have never
35:01
received this much feedback. Yes, yes, it's.
35:06
Crazy people loved this stupid question.
35:12
I can't wait to hear what they wrote in with.
35:15
So we asked what was Obi Wan Kenobi's favorite kind of pie?
35:21
Something I have forgotten is American Pie is very different
35:25
than pie everywhere. Oh shit, you're right.
35:28
Oh no. Oh damn, okay.
35:32
Pie has existed for a long time, like since Egyptian times, but
35:36
in America is where we started, like doing fruit pies.
35:39
Right. Yeah, sweet.
35:40
Like sweet dessert pies. That's kind of more the America
35:44
thing. Everywhere else.
35:45
Yes, they have it now, but now they do.
35:47
Slavery. Meat.
35:48
Pie. Yes.
35:51
Well, what did somebody mention what kind of meat pie he might
35:55
like? I'm curious.
35:57
Yeah, yeah, I if there was a kidney pie, I think someone
36:01
said, oh Lord, someone said a shepherd's pie, but that
36:05
technically that's that's not really a pie.
36:07
I fucking. Love shepherd's pie?
36:10
I do too. I make it all the time.
36:11
But it doesn't have a pie crust, so it doesn't America, it kind
36:14
of doesn't qualify. It's a real point.
36:16
We didn't give specifications that needed a pie crust.
36:19
I guess we're doing. That true.
36:21
It's true. We didn't narrow it down, but
36:24
stay tuned because we had an actual Obi Wan respond.
36:29
Yes, he he thought. But we'll miss that in a minute.
36:32
Yes, yes, yes. Bettina said.
36:36
Seriously. What kind of question is that?
36:37
Cinnamon rolls, of course. Bettina.
36:46
No, no cinnamon rolls. That's funny.
36:52
If you wonder why we're so upset, just find our episode by
36:56
about why OB 1 is not a cinnamon bun anyway, OK?
37:02
Kevin said. Warm apple pie with a slice of
37:04
cheddar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
37:07
It's the only civilized answer. That's a pretty good civilized
37:10
answer. Yeah, we got a lot of apple with
37:13
cheddar or I saw that a few times.
37:15
Apple with OK vanilla ice cream. Yum.
37:19
Let's see, let's see. Gayle said.
37:22
Strawberry pie because his because his hair smells like
37:27
strawberries, according to Tumblr.
37:33
I like this GAIL. I love it all.
37:41
Right, James Arnold, Taylor says.
37:43
What did the man say himself? He said Apple alamode warm with
37:50
warm with the vanilla ice cream melting over the top.
37:53
One Piece Bad Day with Anakin 2 3/4 and an extra scoop of ice
37:59
cream. I called it.
38:04
He's eaten more if it's a bad day with that again.
38:10
Oh, James, thank you. It's good to have the authority.
38:14
He's he is the authority. Like he would know he's been in
38:17
the character's head for a long time.
38:19
Yeah, I think his his answer's qualified.
38:22
That's listen. Oh, with the ice cream melting
38:24
on top is the best the best. Right.
38:27
I've had some people say that they didn't think Obi Wan would
38:30
eat a whole pie and I I just can't agree with that.
38:34
I think that he would eat a whole pie standing up like over
38:37
the sink like. That's what I'm thinking.
38:40
Super stressed he has to take it out some way because he can't
38:42
nap. Exactly, and he's super fit so
38:45
he's not even going to like his body's not even going to
38:48
recognize calories. We don't know her.
38:53
We're envious of this man. Yeah, right, Kenobi Wolf said.
39:00
Apple pie with vanilla ice cream got to be the reliable apple pie
39:03
with just a bit of ice cream to make it not boring.
39:05
Like, I think a lot of people got the sense of the apple pie.
39:09
Yeah, yeah. Did anyone say pecan or pecan
39:13
depending? No.
39:15
So I'm the only interesting I. Think you are like well people
39:20
might not think of that. Like no one mentioned pumpkin
39:23
pie at all. Which?
39:25
I don't. I don't fancy ham.
39:26
A pumpkin pie eater? No.
39:27
I don't either, No. Apple hazelnut pie was the
39:31
closest we got, Tara said. Apple hazelnut pie with brown
39:34
sugar on the crust with a side of ice cream and some coffee.
39:38
Yes, that's civilized. A bit boozy, like if Anakin.
39:43
Oh yeah, the yeah, the coffee would have Kahlua or Bailey's in
39:47
it for sure. Oh my goodness, so yes, we and
39:54
these are just a few. We got lots, lots more.
39:57
That's amazing stuff there for now, but thank you to everybody.
40:00
I also got like private messages DMS that's.
40:04
Incredible. That's pretty spectacular.
40:07
And of course, thanks to James Arnold Taylor for telling us
40:09
what he thinks Obi Wan would would eat.
40:13
So thank. You, I tagged him.
40:15
I'm like, we need to know. We have to know.
40:21
Didn't he say in our interview that his special Jedi power
40:26
would be being able to make the perfect meal for anyone like
40:31
Willy Wonka? Oh no.
40:36
Now what kind of chocolate could be our next?
40:39
Stay tuned, We'll come. We'll come up with something
40:41
else some other time. 11 sweet confectionery thing at a time.
