    Correct....thanks for "getting it"... I want great, epic shows....not safe, mediocre shows....D+ can't afford to keep making them....so hopefully they understand that these type of series releases are not a long-term solution....still, they can have their place in D+'s overall content if purposefully done as movie "one-shots"....sort of like they did for the Halloween Marvel Werewolf movie....

    Skellington Crew will eventually be forgotten and/or re-evaluated for exactly what it was (already starting to see the good-will erode on-line)....another waste of time for subscribers and money for D+...right now people were so disillusioned with The Acolyte that it is clouding their judgement on the latest series.....had it come directly after a much better show like The Mandalorian S1 or Andor, the expectations would have been higher as has been demonstrated in the past....right now it is getting some good vibes due to how bad the previous show was and not due to it being anything ground-breaking or contributing anything to a sustaining future for the IP....it's merely a soft and safe reset for the IP at best....was it needed....probably, but it was like placing a bandaid on a severe stab wound...Hopefully if Andor does not dissapoint, Skellington Crew will go off into obscurity and be forgotten or another show no one wants to bring up again...

    Guess you don't get it...although it's right there in the first sentence you quoted...so not sure how to make it any less vague for you...it's valid in the context I am referring to not in the way you are trying to spin it....

    Nah.....Disney is trying to come up with creative ways to try to convince itself that their shows are what their subscribers want....these alt-facts may work on the weak-minded uber fans, but I doubt their advertisers are going to be OK with paying top streaming show dollars for stuff no one is watching.....and as far as I can tell, Disney is still a profits-based company beholden to its investors who expect higher performance for the best returns...weak ad revenue isn't compatible with high investment returns...but that's exactly the situation they will be in if they continue with pointless, safe series like Jedi Hondo's Adventures in Space....

    The point is now SW is borrowing from itself.....this show was literally a cut-and-paste story from start to finish.....it'd probably be more entertaining than the series itself to go through it and match the scenes to what movie it was ripped-off from...LOL

    Oh yeah, they care....they would have been touting their success if the viewing "numbers" were something they could brag about....sadly they are worse than their last canceled show....

    Cute? NOPE....the bilgerat looks quite nightmarish....

    Again....a Han Solo ripoff.... Perhaps Pirate Solo can talk his way into a second season?

    Smee is basically K2SO....but speaks in pirate....making Smee a different and refreshing droid!!

    The Hatbox hype was because it was there in the beginning, then taken down and never returned until just recently....it hasn't had a chance to have been re-imagined...yet

    The aerial fight sequence look pretty good....IMAX it is...

    Another lame change....which, itself had already been changed into something better via Constance Hatchaway the killer bride, IMO....now it seems to be back to a sad bride, with the new twist being we don't really know the circumstances of the deaths of her many husbands....

    Maybe that scene was purposefully done to mirror a certain event involving another "scoundrel" whose original action was to shoot first....but has since been changed several times to the disdain of SW fans....unfortunately, this time around, Space Jack Sparrow's only purpose for killing Capt Wolfie was merely a plot device to keep the "youngsters" watching this "kid show" guessing if he was good or bad...which by the end no one cared.... Remember, this pointless series was a patchwork of stolen concepts, ideas and scenes from several movies, but also utilizing several things from it's own IP... Based on the "numbers", there is no way it would make sense for Disney to greenlight a S2, even if they clearly ended it with the intent for more....the reason they probably haven't announced a cancelation of a Season 2 is purely due to the optics of doing so...another back to back failure is embarrassing, no need to bring any attentionto it...especially considering there was less interest in Skellington Crew than The Acolyte.... Personally, I have no need for another pointless adventure with Space Jack Sparrow....aka Jedi Hondo!....

    Maybe Unix Square tried to develop a proper PT VF-1.....but failed and thought no one would notice....

    More of a "why do I keep paying for D+?" ending...lol They should have shown Space Jack Sparrow being carted off in handcuffs by the New Republic....it's not like a man of his ingenuity would not have been able to escape at some point if a Season 2 required it...instead, his fate will be another avoidable mystery in the ever shrinking SW Galaxy...seriously, another morally vague Force user running around....surely Luke and Leia would want to meet this potential problem, which alone, is why he should not have been a Force user....it just complicates the logic of the post-ROTJ timeline....and again, comes back to tying back to the Skywalker Saga....an itch that Disney can't help but scratch...

    LOL....yeah...this is forced nostalgia....I assume this mash-up is intended for Japanese consumers....although I can see a WWM release but I think the impact to non-Japanese collectors would be minimal....

    Who needs to watch it in 4k when you can watch it IRL....
