Spoilers Skeleton Crew [Spoiler Discussion]

[Nerys Myk]

Very enjoyable in a Lucas meets Spielberg sort of way. Set up a few mysteries. A cantina pirate's den full of reprobates. An American Graffiti reference. And a droid who will steal the show.

 

[JD]

I think he was.

Spoiler

The masked Pirate at the start

Oh yeah, that was definitely him.

 

[Campe]

Only watched the first episode tonight. Lots of fun. Cracked up at the Holiday Special reference.

 

[Shawnster]

Yes, me too.

Spotted the original design for the Falcon at the pirate star port.

Nice dialog nod to episode IV where Vader interrogated Antillies.

 

[Aragorn]

I'm guessing Jude Law

Spoiler

is faking it, like that one character in Obi-Wan, to get the kids to trust him.

 

[Galaxy]

The start was a bit slow - with the exception of the prologue - but overall I am really enjoying it.

Hondo better make an appearance.

 

[Corran Horn]

Captain Rex, tram driver! And that whistle when they were thrown in the brig is right out of the PotC ride at the Disney parks. (at least WDW and DL)

Loved the show. Curious about the state of At Attan like everyone else. Seems Wim had Old Republic credits rather than the New Republic credit-type that was shown in the beginning pirate sequence. Interesting.

 

[Set Harth]

Rebels and Andor references... nice

 

[thribs]

Is Jude Law the pirate leader? Seems too obvious. Twin brother perhaps?

 

[B.J.]

An American Graffiti reference.

Apparently I missed this, what was it?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Apparently I missed this, what was it?

Pretty sure the guy who was gonna race Fern and KB was called "Falfa" .

 

[Turtletrekker]

Steve Urkel in Star Wars. I don't know how I feel about that.

 

[Jayson1]

Steve Urkel in Star Wars. I don't know how I feel about that.

Seems to be a pirate as well. God help us if the first thing he says after killing someone is 'Did I do that."

 

[FredH]

Best line ever: “My guts! They’re everywhere!”

 

[thribs]

I'm guessing Jude Law

Spoiler

is faking it, like that one character in Obi-Wan, to get the kids to trust him.

Or he was a Jedi before the purge and became a pirate to survive

 

[B.J.]

Holy crap. Apparently in addition to the other references, this has some connections to Captain EO! Google "Captain EO fuzzball" and you'll see one obvious example.

Plus that "kids' show" that Neel's siblings were watching was from the Holiday Special.

 

[Tuskin38]

The actor who played Undersecretary Fara voices Tony's AI FRIDAY in the Marvel movies. I've never seen anything else she's been in looking at her Filmography

The Pirate port the kids jump to is from Legends, it first appeared in the Young Jedi Knight books

 

[Jayson1]

I got a theory about At Attin that might be crazy. My theory is the planet is Earth. Which is why it looks so much like Earth. We have never seen Earth in SW and maybe they are finally going to show us after all of these years. Besides the Earth look I noticed one of characters called another character, a jerk. A very human term not used in SW before.

 

[Tuskin38]

I think it was just trying to be relatable

 

[Jayson1]

I agree with that part but I think they might also be using this as a chance to add more to the lore. Something that will last beyond the show itself. It actually would be a clever way IMO to finally explain Earth in the SW universe.
