    If anyone was unsatisfied by the ending remember this was a show about kid characters. They would have to be the ones to save the day. Because they are kids it isn't going to involve that much violence. Nor could they have Jude have a change of heart and fight his old crew with a light saber as it would have made him the more of hero than the kids.

    You realize this was the Star Wars show specifically aimed at kids more than any other show (excluding the Ewok TV movies). No kids in the real world would be able to save the day like that. Kid centered fiction follows a different set of rules. If this was a show featuring adults as the leads, I'd questioned everything. Since this show is for kid and about kids, I'm judging it by a different standard did they tell a good story? Was I entertained? Did I care about the characters? To that I say yes. I'd put it up there with Andor. Both are good for different reasons. I'd even say it might even be better than season 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian.

    What happened to Disney"s use of deep fake monsters like Luke Skywalker?
  4. Roy Focker
    Exactly. This time it is a show featuring kids aimed at kids. Only the logic of Saturday morning cartoons apply. If one of these kids get stabbed through the middle of the chest with a light saber and survives I'm not going to question it like I would in some of their other shows.

    Some harsh reviews I see. Latest episode was alright. Nothing spectacular but okay overall. It is still primarily the show aimed specifically at kids. Judging by that standard its not a bad show.
  6. Roy Focker
    No complaints from me. Thought the Owl was too cartoonish but then I remembered this is the kid targeted show.
  7. Roy Focker
    It gets my seal of approval. Kids go off on adventure and encounter pirates. The tone is good. Kids can act. Watching it wasn't a chore. I look forward to watching the rest.

    Remember what allegedly happened with Rogue One? Disney wasn't pleased with what Edward made and had Gilroy do some reshoots. In theory Rogue One had some good ideas but something was lacking if they had someone else do the reshoots. A script that sounded better on paper or whatever. A good director but the wrong director for that particular movie. I think the Acolyte suffered from the same problems. This time none of the higherups ordered any reshoots. How could they afford it with the budget they already spent making it.

    I don't understand why this Captain America isn't dead. His wing suit might be capable of superhero stunts but isn't physical body still that of a normal human? There's no super serum running through his veins. Those mechanical parts don't encase his entire body like Ironman.

    Wait this is their first wave? Characters are too obscure. Each one is potential peg warmer. You include one such figure per wave for the "collect them all" collectors. The casual collector are just going to go for the main casts.

    They say people really didn't like one. I thought it was alright. I think this story was a reaction to the audience who might have glorified Arthur at the end of the first movie. In the sequel he's back to being a sad pathetic clown. It is rather depressing and hopeless story.

    Problem with the suburbs it's an invention of our modern world. Star Wars is "the future" from a long time ago. You can have characters visiting a space station or a medieval village with a couple droids walking about and it fits in with the universe. I can think of a good reason for this choice. The target audience is the same age as the kids in the show. Easier for kids watching at home to relate to these characters if their hometown looks the same. This show is the Anti-Andor. Star Wars has always tried to be for all ages. Something you could watch with the whole family. I found that it fails at this attempt whenever they try to introduce few serious elements they also toss in a few extra silly ones. Creating a confusing tone. Andor was aimed at adults and could deal more mature themes without having to counterbalance for any kids who might be watching. Skeleton Crew might be the exact opposite.
  13. Roy Focker
    That doesn't count as an update.
  14. Roy Focker
    Agreed. I like what I'm seeing in this trailer. It very clear what type of show this is. A Spielberg-like kid fantasy. You can watch this show without complaining that kid isn't strong enough to lift a gun that size or in real life that kid die if someone stabbed them with a light saber. How could these 8-year-olds out smart a Sith lord? They can if it a show about kids saving the day. If it's part of the greater story, then you can start questioning the logic.

    Two more seasons? I haven't read any books about this story but it felt like they could have wrapped up the entire series with just 2 to 3 more episodes.
