Star Wars: Safespace
Skeleton Crew: Review-Episodes 1 & 2
Join us for our limited-series Skelton Crew Review podcast as Tommy D and our adventurous guest, Crash, geek out over the nostalgic echoes of ET and The Goonies and question how these iconic references resonate with new generations in the era of Skeleton Crew. Our conversation is a delightful fusion of culture, travel, and a sprinkle of Star Wars magic, perfect for anyone looking to relive those Amblin vibes.
The plot thickens as we dive into the enigma of a mysterious planet within The Mandalorian’s timeline. Imagine a world untouched by time, where the whispers of the Old Republic linger, and society thrives on remnants of a forgotten era. We dissect the concept of the "Great Work," drawing connections to classic sci-fi themes and pondering if this civilization is a secluded relic of the past. With comparisons to hidden societies and buried treasures, our speculative journey touches on the fascinating dynamics of treasure-laden children and their interactions with pirates, all the while questioning the Star Wars universe's evolutionary twists.
The spirit of nostalgia takes center stage as we explore the beautiful intersection of 80s pop culture and contemporary Star Wars storytelling. From iconic archetypes to the charming quirks of minor characters, we celebrate the creative fusion that invites both seasoned fans and newcomers. Tune in as we share our hopes for potential cameos, connections within the Mandoverse, and the ultimate joy of seeing a new generation fall in love with the timeless galaxy far, far away.

Ooh, that was kind of sexy.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 1:That was kind of nice, all right. So welcome to Skeleton Crew Review. This is kind of like a supplemental little podcast that we're going to be doing in conjunction with our Star Wars Safe Space podcast that we do every week. So this is just a limited run companion show because we're talking about Skeleton Crew. Obviously it's the big thing right now and we're all very, very excited. So I'm Tommy D and I am joined by the pilot of the infamous Parma Flyer. It's Crash. Hi everybody, good to be back Awesome.
Speaker 2:Good to have you back. Good to be back Awesome.
Speaker 1:Good to have you back. Good to have you back. You've been out traveling the world.
Speaker 2:Yes, I have Seeing sights and making the Star Tours run. You know all the good stuff.
Speaker 1:There you go, from the beaches of Normandy to the beautiful castles and the Disney, the disney playground that is paris disney right yeah, 15 times in a row on star tours.
Speaker 2:It's got to be a record. What?
Speaker 1:I've never done it, once, not one time oh man, you gotta do it. So all right. So let me ask you before we dive into yeah sidetrack right off the bat of course that's how we roll. If you're, if you've ever watched, you know our are, any of our other, you know circle of nerds podcast, you know we never stay on track, but anyway. So star tours in paris does it still have the rx droid is wreck still it's got c-3po as the pilot.
Speaker 2:It's. It's just like the ones in Anaheim and Orlando. Okay, it's interesting because if you ride it enough times, like my sister and I did, everything's in French, but occasionally you'll get the same. You know the maps and the cut scenes in English. You know they're very accommodating. You know there's that reputation about French people being rude. They're not rude. If you're polite, respect them, they'll respect you, and I think that plays especially at Disney, where they're trying to be French but friendly. It was interesting.
Speaker 2:We were going on the tour my sister's birthday, so she has a little button that says it's my birthday and all the cast members would start recognizing us because we're just doing around and around and around and around and by the fifth time they're like oh, happy birthday Emily. We were part of the family already. But it's the great thing about Star Tours is, with the randomization and all the different maps they can do, the combinations of what you can get. Each experience is worth at least two or three times. We did two or three runs the first night, seven the next. I mean we didn't do all in one day like a crazy person person, but it was, you know, over like two, three days. Yeah, we did about 15 times through and it was just fun to see all the different all right combinations and cut scenes and care and they're working in all the some of the newer shows like andor and ahsoka, and I'm sure they'll eventually work in skeleton crew as well.
Speaker 1:oh yeah for sure, for sure, that's cool. Yeah, we've been to. We've been to paris once we didn't go to paris disney. Yeah, paris was super cool. We didn't have a problem with anybody. We saw some touristy stuff. We kind of went off path to see some non-touristy stuff and it was cool. We didn't experience any sort of rudeness at all. But, like you said, we were respectful. We were respectful of the culture and we weren't like we're Americans, do what we do and do what we wanted yeah, yeah, I made it through two weeks with.
Speaker 2:I speak two languages english and bad tourist french. You know the amount. The little you can remember from high school is like bonjour, and then just sort of play dumb slash, pathetic and like, please help me, like your english is going to be better than my french, so let's do this.
Speaker 1:I pull out a translator all the time and I'm like uh Vor, and they're just like just stop.
Speaker 2:We appreciate the attempt, but please just stop and that's the key the attempt, the effort, the consideration, exactly just a little respect, alright.
Speaker 1:So skeleton crew, yes. Um, I'm just going to start right off the bat and say I love it. I have nothing negative to say about it. The nostalgia is high with this. It felt like meeting an old friend again, Seeing an old friend after not seeing them for like 20 years. It's got the Amblin vibes, it's got the ET vibes, the Goonie vibes. You know it's got the Amblin vibes, it's got the ET vibes, the Goonie vibes. You know it's all just right there and it just it sucked me and it had me.
Speaker 1:It just had me from the start.
Speaker 2:I had an interesting conversation with my sister, so we were watching the show together and she's younger than I am, she's 10 years younger than I am and you know, leading up to the show everybody kept saying oh, this is Star Wars Goonies, this is Space Goonies. She kind of went you know people my age unless their parents showed them, force-fed them, 80s Goonies and all those movies they didn't really understand. She knows the pop culture references that have carried on Us. 80s kids like to think that our childhood is eternal. But kids from the 90s and 2000s unless they were shown a movie like Goonies they may not understand fully the connections that are being played in the show.
Speaker 1:Also, if you were, you know as a kid, and I think this is where there's, because online already there's there's people there just like oh this is. This is not star wars. This is not my star wars, blah blah, blah, right, right and, and.
Speaker 2:Getting on twitter was the greatest thing I ever did.
Speaker 1:Oh, I love it between twitter and tiktok, good lord. But I think the the big picture that people are missing with this is, if you didn't grow up with the original trilogy and I mean like grow up, grow up with it you're not going to get that nostalgia hit. It's not going to hit you on that level.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:That's not to say you can't enjoy it.
Speaker 2:You can enjoy it for different reasons, right, not to say you can't enjoy it. You can enjoy it for different reasons. Exactly the story, they're building already seems very insane. This might be the Goonies of your childhood, just like the prequel babies. My sister, she grew up during the prequel trilogy. That's her Star Wars. That was where her childhood memories were formed.
Speaker 1:One of the beautiful things about Star Wars is that each generation has their Star Wars. You've got the OT generation, you've got the prequel generation, you've got the Clone Wars animated series generation, you've got the sequel generation and now you've got the skeleton crew generation like this is the mando verse in general.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So now you know, 20 years from now, star wars fans will be dead. But star wars fans hope. Well, maybe not, hopefully not, but these, the kids, are seeing it now. They're gonna look at all of the stuff that came before and they're going to say you know what? That's cool, that's cool. Skeleton crew was my star wars.
Speaker 2:Right, and because, just like we all grew up emulate, it wanted to be a Luke or a hunt. I loved that sequence at the beginning. Where the kids are, you know they show up at the bus stop and the first thing they do is you know they show up to the bus stop and the first thing they do is, you know, break into a lightsaber fight. Who didn't do that? There better be cardboard tubes on that planet, because you need a good old cardboard tube lightsaber fight when you're a kid to. Really that's what being a Star Wars fan was all about.
Speaker 1:And that's what, like when I say you know, watching it for me was like, you know, running into an old friend, an old childhood friend. That's why because I did that I grabbed whatever I could and we had blasters and lightsabers and we did exactly what Wim and Neil did. We did exactly what they did. And the writers and the producers, they knew that it was written by Star Wars fans, even if the writing wasn't directly from a Star Wars fan. They got input from people who grew up in that era. You could just tell. And then all of the Easter eggs that are sprinkled, they got input from people who grew up in that era. You could just tell, I mean, you just you know. And then all of the Easter eggs that are sprinkled throughout we're going to touch on some of those, right, because there's just so many, we can't get through all of them. But so the big thing that I want to talk about, because it, it, it goes between these two episodes. Both were great.
Speaker 1:I love between these two episodes. Both were great. I love both episodes. Um, I love the pacing, I love the discovery, I loved, you know, I love the reaction to light speed. I thought that was, that was hilarious um because every I think we as fans have become so jaded to the idea of this.
Speaker 2:oh, hyper, faster than light travel.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's just like you know, giving your car and going down the street first time out, I I'd be screaming like well yeah, yeah, and it's funny Cause someone, someone posted on on Tik TOK Um and they use this sound where some it was like very tranquil and where it was very tranquil. And then it went to screaming and it said Omega from the Bad Batch, her first time going to light speed and she was peaceful and beautiful and calm and serene. And then we've got the Skeleton Crew kids, their first time, freaking out and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that they live on this isolated planet and that's the big topic for this episode of our show.
Speaker 2:My questions have questions about this at Atlanta. How do we say it?
Speaker 1:So it's. It's spelled at Atten, but sometimes it sounds like they're saying add like alpha Delta. Yeah, I think it's alpha tango. So I think it's at Atten, but sometimes it sounds like they're saying add like Alpha Delta yeah, I get it, but I think it's Alpha Tango, so I think it's at Atten.
Speaker 2:At Atten. Okay, yeah, a lot of questions Again. The space goonies, the pirate thing, you know, everybody loves the dissect trailers for, like, oh, what's this show going to be about? What's this going to be about? Remember when Ezra Bridger was Space Alive? Everybody wants to make that instant connection to something from the past to make it seem like this isn't an original. My questions have questions about this place where the kids come from the space suburb.
Speaker 1:So let me pose a couple of questions to you, because you and I probably have the same questions and those questions have questions. So the big one first of all. The big one, the big one, yeah, first of all the big one. We know that this takes place during, during it's within season one of the Mandalorian, I believe.
Speaker 1:I believe that's the time post Empire sometime it's post Empire, but it takes place around the events of the Mandalorian, season one or two, um. So that's we. We know this. My question to you is based on certain things that were said and certain things that we can infer. When do you think that this they're calling it the great work this planet? When do you think this came about? My thought is, it's at least pre-Clone Wars and the reason I say that is during the secretary, the undersecretary, undersecretary Farah.
Speaker 1:She's in the class and she makes this comment about keeping the Republic peaceful and strong.
Speaker 2:She didn't say the new Republic, not the new Republic, not the high Republic, the Republic.
Speaker 1:He said the Republic. And then when we see the kids hand over the credits they're like, hey, where did you get old Republic, mint condition old Republic credits? But do they mean old Republic or do they mean pre-Empire Republic? But then the Old Republic is still anywhere from like 25,000 BBY to 19 BBY. So I mean the Old Republic is a big era.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the money was, like they say, in many things follow the money. And when the kid, you know, got his dad and again as an 80s kid, a latchkey kid you know that scene where his dad is just, you know, like sliding over your lunch money like it's no big deal. You know, only use this for lunch, don't go buy, you know, baseball cards at the corner shop. Or you know this is strictly for your food, because I'm going to be at work late. You know that right away it was like a little ping in my head. I was like, okay, that's, that's older money.
Speaker 2:I roughly remember what Republic Diteri credits like Qui-Gon Jinn would have had on Tatooine. That was no good on, because back then the Republic wasn't a thing for them, so they wanted a different kind of currency. This is like getting a pristine original print $2 bill and I love the fact that the guys in the pirate trading post when he flashes the money out there. We all remember our first time we had our own money and you went to the store and you pulled your wallet out without having all your birthday money from grandma and you're pulling out like 20s.
Speaker 1:Is this enough?
Speaker 2:Yeah, like Mr Big Spender here. Okay, is this enough?
Speaker 1:Right and you're buying like two candy bars and a soda, right. But then the way that that guy you know the guy at the food stall he was like what, no, no, no, we, no, we need more, we need more. How much could that possibly be worth? Then he's like oh yeah, my dad gave it to me for lunch money. Everyone's like what Lunch money that? And then when we see the ship, when the ship takes off, it's buried and there's trees growing on top of it.
Speaker 2:How long has that ship been there? Why was it there?
Speaker 1:I think we'll get to that. We're going to get to that, obviously. But we see the skeleton pirates. You know what's left of them. So where do you think this like? I'm thinking again, at least pre-Clone Wars. It could be much, much older than that.
Speaker 2:Snips and I had this debate just tonight coming home. We were driving home and I said, yeah, we both kind of had that moment of like okay, the easy answer obviously it's gotta be pre-Empire Republic. Yeah, it could be further back like they. You know, they know about aldani, you know you listen to this and some of the other worlds they were talking about.
Speaker 2:You know you're like, okay, so these worlds haven't been like plundered by the empire. You know this is clearly pre-empire thinking and whatever this school has been teaching generations of kids on this planet is sort of outdated information. Like you know how when we grew up we never got in history class past the Civil War.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Even though the books may have gotten to World War I or whatever, yeah, but we never got that far before the school year ended. And I'm like these, I feel like this culture, this society is running on outdated information, so it could be a very for lack of a better term a gated community from an earlier time.
Speaker 2:I would even say I don't want to say, maybe not where we saw it in the Acolyte, but somewhere between that, like closer to maybe the prequels than the Acolyte. But I have a feeling this is an old society level of learning. This is like when, on another show, this would be where Kirk and the Enterprise show up and like these people haven't you know the gangster, they haven't progressed past the 1930s. You know these people are still living in the old. You know the high republic or the old republic.
Speaker 1:So it could potentially so. Acolyte took place 100 years before the prequels.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, if I remember the math right somewhere around there yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1:So you're saying that it it may not.
Speaker 2:So the the great work may not predate the acolyte, but may definitely fall between the acolyte and the prequels yes as a safety I don't think they've even, you know, known about, because I've heard speculation on other YouTube clips and stuff People talking about. Are these separatists? Well, separatists wouldn't be using Republic daterraries.
Speaker 1:No, no, no.
Speaker 2:So it's not a Clone Wars. The easy answer could have been like oh, it's a society, a neutral society, that shielded itself from the Clone Wars. They'd be using separaratist money if they were Separatists.
Speaker 1:I feel like this is the Republic. They wouldn't refer to the Republic at all. Right, what if it's kind of like a Truman Show experiment? Is it kind of like a Vault-Tec experiment? Is it something I don't want to say sinister, necessarily, but is somebody watching this happen? Are they all clones? Is it like a Noah's Ark scenario? These people to escape something catastrophic. They found this place and then shielded themselves off from the rest of the galaxy.
Speaker 2:Well, remember, in the prequels they talk about how there hadn't been a war since the formation of the Republic Right. That doesn't mean there weren't conflicts, there could be people. That maybe just the Truman Show analogy is very good in that it's a bubbled community to maintain a certain aesthetic, a certain nostalgic way things should be.
Speaker 2:They want this utopian society to be a utopia whatever this barrier is about, you know to, to have a whole society grow up where. I love the fact that you know again. They showed us all this, all this star Wars suburbia clips in the trailer, and, and, and the first episode basically amounted to the um aptitude testing. Remember when we were in school and you know, you know, asking a fourth grader what do you want to do with the rest of your life? I don't know. I totally understand, but everything these kids you know. One kid said oh, I want to be a middle management supervisor.
Speaker 1:I want to be a data analyst. But that's how they've been raised, that's how they've been indoctrinated.
Speaker 2:That's the only existence you know of. You don't even see the stars. How many times in Star Wars do we see people kids, luke, even Rey look up at the stars and think well, what's out there for me? Well, if you can't see past your own planet, what's there to aspire to?
Speaker 1:And someone online had mentioned that they were like that's so stupid. How do they not know what stars are? It's not that they didn't know what stars were, they had never seen stars, because as you look up into the night sky, all you see is this array of red dots. You see these red lights in the sky, and they're all perfectly aligned to form this array or this grid, and then that's all they've seen. They've seen those swirling clouds, almost like an Aurora Borealis sort of effect, and then you see all these little red dots in the sky. Do the kids know what those are? The adults clearly do, but do the kids know what those are? The adults clearly do, but do the kids know what those are? And so my question to you also what do you think those are? Is it a defense system? Is it a hollow array to make the planet look different? It doesn't seem to be a defense network, because it didn't keep the ship in, right? It's doing something. What do you think it's doing?
Speaker 2:I think it's a defense in it, almost in a masking sort of way, either x, you know, from the inside out or the outside in. Like you know, the galaxy is a big place, you know. We, we've heard, you know, anakin talking about I want to be the first one to see them all. And we've seen the star map. In that Luke was, you know, hiding. You know they were trying to find Luke. There's a lot of dots on that map, not, you know. Very few people have covered every square inch of the galaxy to see every planet on that map. I'm sure there are places that maybe mask their viability, their appearance to maybe an outside scan, but the reaction of the pirates when the kids told them where they were from.
Speaker 1:It's a mythological place.
Speaker 2:It's like four kids showing up at your CD bar and going oh yeah, hi, I'm from Atlantis, here's a gold bar, Can I buy lunch?
Speaker 1:Right, your head would explode.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's almost like a reverse. I heard a great. It's like a reversal of the Goonies story where the kids are looking for the treasure. The outside world want to find out where the kids are from.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the kids came from the treasure.
Speaker 2:The kids came from the treasure and, like the pirates that we saw at the beginning which again we'll get into Easter eggs and stuff, there was a lot of interesting visual references there, but I love the dark night moment of the lone Republic. Credit on the floor is sort of an F, you Like, to anyone who's trying to steal what what you thought was on this ship here. Here here, have a dollar and shut up.
Speaker 1:Right Shut up, so that I feel like that was probably left behind on purpose. Yeah, that loan credit. So with at, at, and they were very careful to not show once the kids get past the barrier. We didn't see, we didn't see them leaving the planet. Normally we see that in Star Wars. We always see a shot of the ships leaving the planet. Right. We don't see it this time.
Speaker 1:And then, when they asked SM-33 to send us back, any droid would be able to access those coordinates to go back to where they just came from. Yeah, but they're not in his memory banks. He was searching and searching and searching. They've been deleted.
Speaker 2:You almost wonder if his ship got there by accident or like a crash.
Speaker 1:The pirates finally found it and they killed each other trying to argue Maybe those pirates somehow integrated to the culture there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, whoever the, the, the dead skeletons were of? Yeah, somebody. Yeah, there's a lot of questions. Obviously it's the first, yeah, first two episodes. There's a lot of questions about where that ship came from. Who are the people? Yeah, was it intentionally landed crash, whatever you want to call it on the planet, or you know? Was it intentionally landed crash, whatever you want to call it on the planet, or you know? And then maybe the it just sort of got buried over time, like uh, yeah, you know, like the pirate ship on goonies, where it's like, okay, it was in this cove, and then the, the, you know it slowly got buried in, you know, you know, until the kids let it out, like that was a I'm assuming, yeah, the goon, I'm assuming it's a free, open port. When they put the pirate ship in there, much like I think the starship wasn't there intentionally or was it just accidentally there and then left to be covered up.
Speaker 1:It's a caper, it's a mystery and I love it. We're going to learn so much. It's like you want to say I know what's going to happen, I already know and this, and that I think we've sussed out who Jod is. I think that's.
Speaker 2:First shot as soon as he had that Cobra Commander mask. As soon as he spoke, my sister and I looked at each other and we're like that's.
Speaker 1:Jude.
Speaker 2:Law and it's going to be funny watching how he maintains his persona this lot. The things he said to the kids can have a double meaning, where it's like there's what I said and there's what I meant and we're going to find out how he's going to juggle that with them.
Speaker 1:Because it's clear he's just going to use them to get to the treasure planet Right, the eternal treasure. So again, I'm really curious to find out about what the great work is. I do want to find out if it's like a Vault-Tec sort of thing or if it's a Noah's Ark sort of thing, or how it's like a Vault-Tec sort of thing where you know, or it's a Noah's Ark sort of thing or you know how it's going to work. But another thing I found really interesting was when they go to Port Borgo and they're like look aliens. And my wife and I were talking about this and it's like, well, they have aliens on their planet. It's like, but do they? It's like, well, they have aliens on their planet.
Speaker 2:It's like but do they like these, like the rhodians? And we see, uh, what else do you see?
Speaker 1:there's like thorium, or walk on the dog right and whatever neil is yeah, neil's species has not, has not been revealed yet. Right um, he is not an ortolan, right, he is not. He's not like Max Rebo. That is two completely different species.
Speaker 2:And at first I was mad about that because Disney Star Wars. One of my few complaints about Disney Star Wars is they have a tendency to shy away from the classic Star Wars creatures, species other than humans, because production designers, I think, like to like create their own new makeup or aesthetics and you know, just saying, give me like 20 rodians and a couple mon cow like. Especially in the sequel trilogy they were really like they would create all these new species because it looks cool on a concept drawing. When they came out with neil and and the director said that he's not the same species as Max Rebo, I was like fine, is this like? Yeah, I'm no space Star Wars Darwin. Is this like a Vulcans versus Romulans thing where they're like maybe like a splinter of a species?
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know, maybe that's what it is. So, yeah, we come from the same system but they have different planets.
Speaker 2:Maybe they're part of the time. Yeah, maybe they've evolved differently. So, yeah, and the more you see, like max revo and book of boba fett, like okay, I get, the eyes are less expressive than neil's. He's got that cute little haircut, you know, yeah, and I'm sure part of the mystery is going to be well, why haven't we seen Neil's people before? Maybe this is a Noah's Ark thing where, like, maybe his species was relocated. There's obviously an Ithorian, the lady walking the dog. I didn't spot anybody else until we got to the pirate station.
Speaker 1:You know the pirates got all kinds of there was an authorian kid in their class because he said something and then another kid was like no, I want to be a data analyst or whatever In the undersecretary's house when Fern goes home, you see that mural on the wall.
Speaker 2:I paused on that like five yeah I had to get a close-up of that. I was like, when I first saw it, you know my first, you know I was like, okay, that's nice. And then the second, that beer was like what's that?
Speaker 1:right. So we see an on there and we see um an older version of Neal's species with tusks, which I thought was pretty interesting. We just don't know about Neal's species.
Speaker 2:This is going to be the Baby Yoda thing all over again, Until they give us a name of the species the Neals, the adult Neals, the adult Neals.
Speaker 1:There's so many questions, but, um, I really I'm really thinking that, you know, they don't consider like neil and the other thorians. And there were a lot of rhodians. I noticed there were a lot of rhodians in his class. They don't consider them aliens because they've been a part of their culture for potentially centuries.
Speaker 2:Right, and that's why I think it goes back farther than we think. Yeah, because this might be a Noah's Ark thing where literally it's just a handful of species, maybe some kind of cataclysm, maybe just whatever. Maybe it is an Atlantis thing where the society decided they wanted to cut themselves off from the galaxy at large and just focus on whatever this great work of theirs is.
Speaker 1:Right, whatever it is, we'll have to wait and see. I'm very excited. One more question and then we'll start getting into Easterter eggs here. Um, okay, so john, he, he kind of used the force, or did he use the force to get the keys, because it looked really janky, as the keys were like floating along.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But my thing is like, if he was able to do that prior, why hadn't he done it before? Unless he was just looking for some rubes to help him get out?
Speaker 2:Snips had a great answer because we had that same question and her answer to that was and I'm tending to believe this he probably could have escaped fairly easy. Whether he's force sensitive or it was a optical trick, maybe he's got a magnet, who knows? You know, it could be anything like that. Yeah, like that uh guy on kenobi that was impersonating a jedi there. Yeah, but I think the reason, yeah, it's like's like DJ in the Last Jedi. He could have gotten out of the prison cell anytime he wanted. But when the kids show up and they're talking about having a ship now, he's got a way out. If he is the captain that was mutinied and thrown in the cell, sure I could bust out of the cell, but where am I going to go?
Speaker 1:So he's just looking for that, I need a ride. He's looking for for that, I need a ride. He's looking for his moment.
Speaker 2:Right, they've got a ship, they're allegedly from this mythical treasure planet and he's just like yes, Because if he finds the treasure he might be thinking now, I can get back in with my crew and reclaim where I belong.
Speaker 1:Right and get his ship back and his crew back from Brutus.
Speaker 2:Right. Isn't that a great? Isn't that guy? Just From a design standpoint, isn't that just a great callback? I've seen people referencing him to that one guy from the cantina. That was like a wolf.
Speaker 1:That's exactly what he is.
Speaker 2:Great callback.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we see a lot of those and we'll get to that with the Easter eggs. But yeah, that is exactly what he is. But I also like he's got some Blackbeard vibes, because he's got all of those pistols on his head.
Speaker 2:Again, the pirates theming of this show is fantastic. Whoever designing this guy's costume, I love there's a mashup between Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 1:That's just working A hundred percent. I love the captain's cabin. I like the hats, the big hats that were in there.
Speaker 2:Even the guy at the beginning when he's got that I call the captain's cabin. I like the hats, the big hats that were in there, and even the guy when he was at the beginning. When he's got that I call it the Cobra Commander shield. Did you notice? The top of it looks like one of those triangle hats yes. And it's like a one-piece, almost like Zori's helmet from Rise of Skywalker. You know that very tight face shield Again the Cobra Commander thing.
Speaker 1:But as soon as I saw the top of it, that's a pirate hat mask and then like, even like, at the uh, like during the closing credits, the music changes a couple of times um, but like the last change um of the uh, the closing credit music, it's very much a pirate shanty sound.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:They're just, they're leaning into the pirate thing and I, I absolutely love it. All right, so let's do, let's do a few Easter eggs. There were a lot, so a couple of that stood out to me. First was FM 33. Throwback Smee to Peter Pan, captain Hook's little first mate. I thought that was awesome. That was a nice throwback.
Speaker 2:Very Disney. Also very Jude Law-esque, because he played Captain Hook in a previous movie.
Speaker 1:Yes, he did Not an Easter egg necessarily, just an observation Fern wearing her jacket inside out so she could be the cool kid with all her passes on it yeah. Well, I love that and something that Sherry had pointed out to me that I missed the first time. If you look at, if you go back and look at Neil, you see it a few times, but he has a device on his belt. I didn't see anybody else with a device like that on their belts.
Speaker 2:Is he asthmatic? I don't know.
Speaker 1:That would definitely be in line with him, but we haven't seen him use it. But Sherry thought what if it was a translator? Maybe Neil's not actually speaking basic. We hear him as speaking basic, because we speak basic, but maybe that's on his belt, that's a translator.
Speaker 2:Almost like it's a very common sci-fi trope. The universal translator, where all the aliens speak perfect basic or English for us, so that we don't have to worry about subtitles.
Speaker 1:Subtitles all day, yeah, but like in the Mandalorian no Book of Boba. In the Book of Boba Fett we see the mayor of Mos Espa, the Ithorian. He's got a translator apparatus.
Speaker 2:Right. He's speaking Ithorian and there's a little delay from when the and then the basic kicks in once. It's like the Alexa. Here's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I'm wondering is that on Neil's belt? Is that a translator? I don't know.
Speaker 2:For a multi-species society that tracks, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is a translator.
Speaker 1:Well, I'm looking forward, or you know what? I also wouldn't be surprised if the writers and the showrunners put things in there like that just to get us talking. Like, to them, it's nothing, it's just a clip-on.
Speaker 1:It's just. You know what they went out? They got a shaver. They put some greeblies on it, stuck it to neil's belt. It has no use, but we're gonna obsess over it. As star wars fans, we're going to obsess about this tiny little greebly on his belt. What is it? Does he have galactic asthma? Is it a universal translator? What's on Neil's belt? We must know. I don't know. A couple other things that were again. This is probably nothing. It's just my weird brain. So when they're inside the ship and KB hits that power unit to try to get the ship started again, to try to get the ship started again, she hits it in a way that was very similar to the way that Han hits the, the back panel on the, the, the Falcon. So she hit it, the Fonzie punch. Yes, she hits it, it starts up, it dies down. She hits it again and then it goes just like when Han hits the hits the Falcon. Well, yeah, the Fonzie punch. So I thought that was really, really cool.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, and a very. Again, it's an 80s kid. She gives off that tech kid vibe 100%. There's the archetypes we got. The cool girl who comes from the higher class family. She's kind of hiding her status in this society by playing the bad girl persona when she's out and about, hangs out with kids who race bikes and all this jazz.
Speaker 1:The kid that she was racing bikes with the name sounded familiar to me. Let me see if I can find it. So the bully's name is Bonge Falfa and it's named after Bob Falfa. It's Harrison Ford, bob Falfa it's Harrison Ford's character in American Graffiti.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's classic, I love it.
Speaker 1:So that's one of those things I was like why does that sound familiar?
Speaker 2:Another movie where, again, I know of it, I've watched it, but I mean, it's not one of those movies where even people are religiously let's go watch American Graffiti out of the blue blue, like you got to be in the mood for it and there's so many great callbacks and characters from classic pirate hot rod teenage. You know even there were teenage, teenage adventure movies before the 1980s. But I mean, oh, way before and and and and, to bring back some of that, like you know, it's, it's like an update. It's updating, it's taking it the themes of those movies and translating it into a new genre like star wars, to tell the same story of course so about you know your kids in their in their first exploring, you know their first touch of the wider world.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so another one. I know that this one probably jumped out at you, but the hollow circus.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God, yes, I love how modern Star Wars writers again people who realize the people who work on Star Wars now grew up on Star Wars writers again. A lot of the people have realized the people who work on Star Wars now grew up on Star Wars, like we've been saying. So they're going to take even something like the holiday special that George I'm sure cringes every time he brings it up to them, but they still probably can, because we loved it, we saw it as kids and you pull from it.
Speaker 2:I just saw a promo, an old YouTube video, for the old droids cartoon. I can't get that song Travel again, those songs as goofy as it is out of my head.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's a holographic thing and to bring in something like that holographic circus thing from a throwaway holiday special that is a fan favorite, if not a favorite of the creator. It's not like something they act. Oh, let's put out the Star Wars holiday special on Blu-ray every year. But the fans remember it, the fans can call back to it, and now that the fans are grown up and working in Star Wars, they're bringing in some of their childhood memories. They're grabbing from it. They're grabbing from all of it. The fans can call back to it, and now that the fans are grown up and working in Star Wars, they're bringing in some of their childhood memories.
Speaker 1:They're grabbing from it. They're grabbing from all of it. The Ferryman he was from the Ewoks Battle of Endor, he was from the Teak Teak yeah. So again, that's not an alien that we've seen since the Ewoks movies, as far as I can remember.
Speaker 2:I don't remember seeing no, I think again, it was one of those things that they can. You know, fans remember it from their childhood and I even heard Phil Tippett. They brought him out of retirement just to do the puppeteering, because that was an actual puppet, yeah. And I'll admit it was kind of like the train conductor on Book of Boba Fett, where they made a real big deal about it being a practical effect and it kind of looked like a practical effect but it was okay. Yeah, sure you could have done it in CG. It would have looked like a practical effect, but you were. It was okay. Yeah, sure you could have done in CG. It would have looked more live like it out of it, but it's okay to do it again. It's like the circus performer, it's like, oh, yeah, it's okay to do a little callback to our childhood once in a while, because guess what Star Wars is for kids versus, and I really do honestly think that this show belongs to the kids.
Speaker 1:We love it, I love it, you love it, we enjoy it because it is that old friend, but it belongs to the kids. I'm not saying that it was specifically made just for children. Clearly it wasn't, otherwise it wouldn't have all these Easter eggs. The writers threw things in for us to enjoy, with this alongside this next generation, so we can enjoy it together, and that is like that's why this isn't for me anyway, one of my favorite Star Wars properties and we're two episodes in.
Speaker 2:Right, and there's so much, yeah, and there's so much room to explore this part. It's not tied into the Skywalker saga. We're not going to see a baby Rey walking around Again. Fans like this we like to upset who can make a cameo? Honestly, I hope there aren't any real cameos. I have a couple in my mind that could show up and I'm like it would work and I can see where it could sort of tie in the whole Mandoverse time era together.
Speaker 1:So Vayne shows up yeah, so we see him and honestly I'm fine with that because that's a good tie-in to the Mandoverse.
Speaker 2:He was such a throwaway character on Mandover in the pirate storyline that I kind of like the fact that we're going to see maybe more of where he belongs. This is his part of the galaxy. He likes to slither around Every once in a while. You need a nice little, sleazy little bad guy in a story.
Speaker 1:He's almost likable, almost he's not as likable as Hondo. I kind of want Hondo to show up. I'm with you.
Speaker 2:I'm kind of want hondo to show up. I kind of I'm with you, I'm kind of again there's ones like I could fit a man, I could. You know, I saw those x-wings in one of the trailers and I'm like, oh, are we gonna get up? Are we gonna get a paul carson sighting, are we?
Speaker 1:probably, probably. So what are some? There's more, there's so many. We could do a whole show just on easter eggs, right? What are some that jumped out to you that you saw?
Speaker 2:There was one. I didn't catch it right away because it was so faint and I'm in a big room watching it on TV. When I put the headphones on, I kind of lose it. In the prison cells, when the kids first show up, you hear this whistling.
Speaker 1:Oh, like in Pirates of the.
Speaker 2:Caribbean and I watched another video talk about. There's a you could hear it up close. They they zeroed in on it. It's the whistling from the pirates of the caribbean right. There's all sorts of little things like that where, like you know, callbacks to a non star wars attraction, but it's part of the family. It's's Disney. I love that this show can mesh those two things together and it's not weird.
Speaker 1:It's not overt, it's not in your face. It's so subtle. I missed it the first time. I missed the whistling the first time, but when I went back and I watched. I heard it again. When the ship starts up for the first time, you hear the old school dial-up modem again. Um, when the ship starts up for the first time, you hear the old school dial-up modem sound as the ship is booting up. You hear that old like aol dial-up. You know modem internet sound effect.
Speaker 2:It was so cool somebody else picked up, uh, darth vader's targeting computer from the tie fighter chase well, was that in there?
Speaker 1:The sound was there.
Speaker 2:Obviously not the screen. Star Wars fans are getting too good for their own good at picking out little Easter egg details. I'm sure the sound mixer guys are like. This is all I got to work with. Matt Wood's only got so many toys, Come on.
Speaker 1:They have to appreciate it when we find these things. Like you said, Matt Wood is also a huge Star Wars fan. Wasn't he the voice of Grievous?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Grievous. He had a bunch of voices.
Speaker 2:And the Malibu.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he's like the lead sound designer, right, or something like that. So I feel like they do put stuff like that in there on purpose for us to find, and when we do find them, that's got to be fun for them oh yeah, and little things like Millennium Falcon alone.
Speaker 2:Even watching Solo, there were so many and it was obviously the same ship. But there's just certain sounds that are synonymous with the Falcon and Star Wars tech. I could try to imitate it, but it would sound terrible.
Speaker 1:There's just like the engine failing.
Speaker 2:Yeah. There's certain sounds that you, Because when you hear them on other shows I love Toy Story 2, I think, when Buzz Lightyear's watching the video game and he waves his hand through the hologram of the battery and it makes a lightsaber whoosh, and I'm just like, oh you, Ben Burtt, Aren't you just a crazy?
Speaker 1:And they do it because that's how they celebrate their love of the fandom, and it's so cool. So what are some other Easter eggs that jumped out at you that you noticed?
Speaker 2:Mostly, again, most of the ones I picked up on was the pirates theming. I think in that initial attack one of the guys it wasn't I mean they didn't even bother with the stereotypical blaster sound, it sounded like a flint hand pistol, yeah, things like that. Or, during the attack, the rappellers. I didn't get a good look at them, but the spacesuits they were wearing, I swear look like the ones that you see Obi-Wan and Ezra Bridger wearing the very generic open space dome helmet kind of thing, and I want to watch it again just to kind of slow-mo that a little bit and be like did they really make a live-action space suit? I love that we're starting to get between the animated world and the real-world stuff, stuff, a sharing of designs and constantly feloni and favra were both involved in this.
Speaker 1:So of course dave is going to pull stuff from the clone wars and he can't not. He can't bring stuff over from the clone wars like we're gonna get it. Like I would, I would not be surprised if we saw I mean, to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Rex kicking around, but he's probably dead at this point. But you know there'll be something else. There'll be some other Clone Wars references in there. We've got to keep an eye out for them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it was like again for me this first couple episodes I wanted to get a feel for the aesthetic of this. You know, at Anna, planet and the pirates, yeah, I love. You know we've all you know we've done. You know, space Mos Eisley Cantina, where it was like I liked how there was, you know the kids were running around. Side of the Cantina where it was like I liked how the kids were running around and the two girls show up with the one place that looked obviously like a nightclub, shall we say, for adults.
Speaker 2:I like how the girls immediately had the okay, let's not go in there For kids who've never seen the big wide world. The Spidey sense went off and went. That's not go in there, like that's, you know, again for kids who've never seen the big wide world. You know, the spidey sense went off and went. That's not safe. Yeah, and and also when all the boys are playing with the pirate doodads and hats of the gym.
Speaker 1:I got a gun because we're going to a strange town well, and also there was, um, oh, I cannot remember her name, but the lady with the six breasts that was dancing in Jabba's palace. She was outside of this adult establishment.
Speaker 2:Oh, I missed that one. I have to watch that again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there was that other lady that went to who I think was also the same species as one of the dancers One of the dancers, yeah. But yeah, the lady with the six breasts. I can't remember her name, but I know that Jabba hired her because she reminded him of his mother. I remember that was in a book. That's her backstory.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and the pirates for me again. I've been waiting for more callbacks to classic Star Wars creatures and characters like species.
Speaker 1:Oh, there was a bunch.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and the pirates is where it's at, because they can just take. They need such a diverse range of oh yeah, they were grabbing a lot of guys.
Speaker 1:There was another one, one of Gorian Shard's guys. Oh yeah, they were grabbing. Yeah, there was another one, um, one of gory and shards guys. He was there, there were. There were a couple of other ones from, uh, jabba's, I thought I can't remember now. Um, oh, there's another easter egg that I had in my notes. I forgot about, um, when, um, when, whim is talking about Jedi temples that can bury themselves, bury themselves the Lothal Temple.
Speaker 2:You saw that, yeah. And another interesting thing I saw a video the Arabesh on that little Viewmaster storybook of his. The arabesh on that little Viewmaster storybook of his. The reason I think this is pre-prequels and not a Clone Wars style isolation in society is that if it was a Separatist thing or something, they would not have fairy tales painting the Jedi in a good light.
Speaker 1:Right, the Jedi would have been bad guys. Yeah, painting the Jedi in a good light.
Speaker 2:Right, right, the Jedi would have been bad guys. Yeah, and the fact that he's playing with an action figure homemade action figures of a Jedi and a. You know what the Sith are? Well, you're better off than the Jedi Council, apparently.
Speaker 1:Right. So also, if you're creating this utopian society, why would you allow the knowledge of Jedi and Sith to spark the imagination of your children when you know you're just like they're never going to achieve that because you're going to plug them into the accounting department in order to maintain your utopia? I I.
Speaker 2:I have a feeling that was not a thing he said dad used to read to him, but I have a feeling that was something.
Speaker 1:Maybe the mother who we have not seen or heard of yet maybe introduced into the kid's life we haven't seen mom and we also know that, um, we haven't seen fern's dad. So we don't know, maybe they're they're both single parents, maybe their parents died, maybe their parents have bigger parts to play in the great work, right, we don't know yet, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. Very excited about that, very excited for Episode 3. So, before we wrap up, predictions for Episode 3. What have you got?
Speaker 2:I'm very interested to hear Jude Law's facts. He's got to explain to the kids what was I doing there? Was I a bad pirate? Was I a prisoner of the pirate? How did I get eventually? I have a feeling the kids, the droid. We're taking this guy on, this very smooth-talking guy. What's his excuse going to be for how he got there and why he needed to get out?
Speaker 1:All right, I don't have any predictions right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm just like, oh my God, what's going to happen next? I'm really excited. I don't know what we're going to see and I really you know I don't want to deep dive too much into it, because I want to really be surprised.
Speaker 2:I think it's good, especially early on in the show. Like you know, they always do a two-episode premiere to make it like an extended episode, and they always do a two episode premiere to make it like an extended episode, and I liked that. This because this show has got a lot of self world building to take care of. This isn't part of the greater Republic. This isn't that we know. You know these are, these are kids lost on a ship, yeah, From, yeah who have no idea what they're getting themselves into.
Speaker 2:Let that let that cook, let that play out.
Speaker 1:I agree. I love it. I'm looking forward to it. It's such a good show. I can't say enough about it. It's just such a good show. I'm so glad they made it.
Speaker 2:It feels weird to be happy about Star Wars, right? I mean, I'm so glad they made it. It feels weird to be happy about Star Wars, right? No, I mean, I'm kidding. I've loved most of what's you know the Mandoverse and everything has been put in the sequel. I love new Star Wars. I actually love new Star Wars more, I think, than I remember, because classic Star Wars, ot, star Wars is always on TV. It's been part of my life for 40 years. This is exciting because this is new. I want to know what these kids are about. I want to know what the pirates are after. There's so many things I want to know that I don't have already ingrained in my head and self-canon Tell me more. I'm really looking forward to next week.
Speaker 1:And I have to say I'm already disappointed that it's only eight episodes.
Speaker 2:I already want more.
Speaker 1:I know it's only going to run for eight and I already want more and it's just like oh man, I'm already sad and we're two episodes in. I'm already sad that it's going to end. I'm that excited about it. Yeah. So you know, it's not going to be for everyone and it doesn't have to be for everyone. No.
Speaker 2:And for those you're going to give it an honest chance to tell its own story and not affix your own. Like you know how do we blame Kathleen Kennedy for all the problems in my life own. Like you know how do we blame kathleen kennedy for all the problems in my life.
Speaker 1:Just go with it, enjoy the ride. Let's have fun with it. Um, one thing that I thought I saw this on tiktok someone. Someone replied to one of our videos on tiktok and um, we're having a conversation about it and the guy said that he sat down, he watched it with his 10 year old daughter and she looked at him and smiled and gave him a thumbs up. And my response to that is that is the only critique I will accept. That is the only. That is the only criticism. That is the only review that I'm going to accept about this show. You and I can talk about it and say it's good or bad or whatever all day. Yeah, but that show doesn't belong to us, the people that that show belongs to, whatever they say about it. That's what I'm listening to you.
Speaker 2:You and I met, you know, towards the end of my career with the star wars groups. Yeah, but I used to love going out and you know, I'd be there in my x-wing costume or in my jedi gear and kids were coming up to me asking where, where's Ahsoka, where's Captain Ren? This is just after Clone Wars had started and I was knowledgeable enough about the show because I'm a fan of it and I've watched it, just like these kids do, and I'm totally into what this show's about that I could play it off and give them an answer. I love seeing the younger fans' reaction to this stuff. What the 40-year-old guys in their basement on TikTok or Twitter or whatever or YouTube channel of their own making knock yourself out. In fact, knock yourself out, please. Before I do it for you, I can't wait to see the next Halloween, or even like a sci-fi convention. You know people bringing their kids dressed up like these kids. You'll start seeing male costumes, thank you, and something they can relate to at their age level.
Speaker 1:Yes, young girls are going to be dressing up like Fern and KB, right, it's going to be dressing up like fern and kb, right, it's going to happen. You know, you know, young, young people of color are going to be dressing up like whim. That is a good thing.
Speaker 2:That is a good thing for star wars, that is a good thing in general.
Speaker 1:Yeah it is a good thing in general, because now these children have characters that look like them, they have characters they can relate to, and now george always said that star wars was for kids. George has always said that he has always been willing to die on that hill. George created star wars for children for that 12 and under set. That's what star wars is for, because when he was that age, those were the kinds of serials he was seeing when he went to the movies. He was looking at Flash Gordon, he was looking at the samurai movies. In that age it sparked something in him to create this wonderful, beautiful, amazing galaxy that we all get to play in. Now I'm getting goosebumps, man. Now kids that were his age then are getting to experience this galaxy far, far away. I'm actually getting choked up. I'm getting choked up. I'm getting goosebumps. I'm about to start crying on my fucking show. All right, so now Wrapping it up.
Speaker 2:Good show, this was fun.
Speaker 1:It was great fun. Crash, thank you for joining us. Are you going to come back on next week?
Speaker 2:We're going to come back next week, absolutely yeah, I'll see you next week and I'll be watching the show a couple times before we come on. I'm eating this up. I love what's going on right now.
Speaker 1:Well, when we're done recording this episode, I'm going to re-watch. The last two episodes I'm going to watch is now two episodes in it is I'm going to say it it is my favorite Star Wars property.
Speaker 2:I will say wow, I do like. You know, there's this thing, I'll try to be real quick. When Obi-Wan Kenobi came out and immediately they started asking you and never ask an actor oh, do you want more work? Yes, they do. They will always say I'm always up for season two of whatever. If this does end up being a one-off run of eight episodes, fine, tell me a good story that can become the timeless classic that we 80s kids think Goonies is in the Star Wars universe and I will be happy with that small piece of gold.
Speaker 1:No, I disagree. No, no, no. You want more, one more. So I want this to turn into like a Stranger Things scenario where it was only supposed to be a one-off and people love Stranger Things so much They've got like four seasons now or something like that.
Speaker 2:Okay, just don't go Game of Thrones on me, where you keep milking it until you run out of ideas and then you blow up the pot.
Speaker 1:No, I want to see this run so far that I want to watch these kids grow up into adults and have their own children that they send off on adventures into the galaxy. I'm done with the Skywalker saga. I'm done with it. I'm done with the Skywalker saga. We've beaten that one to death. We don't need it anymore. Give me more Wim Fern, kb and Neil for the rest of my life. I'm good.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Rebels was my favorite Star Wars property. It was at the top of my list.
Speaker 2:I like that time era. I like that they've explored that time era and the Clone Wars versus Rebels team.
Speaker 1:I am sort of team rebels because I like that it explored its own branch yes, and I I a lot of people complained about it and it was kind of a deal, a deal breaker for a lot of people.
Speaker 1:But I love the art style because it was a throwback to the ralph mccorry concept art oh yeah I love that they did that so to me, because they're I mean, ralph came up with so many good designs. We wouldn't have Star Wars without Ralph. I mean, not the way that we know it now, obviously, but you know, to see them, to see Dave go back into those archives and grab those concepts like Zeb. Zeb was the concept for Chewbacca, right, and then we now Zeb is his own character. Dave rescued pocket, right, you know. And then we now we now zeb is his, his own character, dave rescued. Dave rescued zeb from obscurity and and gave him to the world. So that was one of the main reasons I love rebels and it's just, it's a damn good story. Rebels is just a damn good story, oh yeah. But now I'm saying it two episodes in skeleton, crew is just bumped rebels to the number two slot.
Speaker 2:All right, that's a gauntlet being laid down, folks. I like this.
Speaker 1:It's a hot take. So now, now, episode three is going to come out and it's going to suck and I'm going to have to like, oh, forget it. That's it, I'm going back to the acolyte.
Speaker 2:No, I'm going to see. I'm actually looking forward to. I'm going to steel city con this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing Bryce Dallas Howard and I want to. I know that she won't say anything because, you know, good people don't give away stuff at their panels, but I want to hear what she does say about the show and if I get a chance I just if I get that talk to her. I want to ask her just like okay, what can you tell me?
Speaker 1:Right, and so far it's a hit. So far across the board, it's a hit. There's even, like, even the one guy we don't need to talk about him but the one guy who makes a lot of Star Wars theories. You know what I'm talking about that guy yeah, he likes it.
Speaker 1:I saw a tweet that he made. I haven't delved too much into what he says because I don't really like I'll see stuff pop up on my feed. I don't follow him, but he said that he was able to relate to it and it took him back to his childhood. So I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:So if that guy is giving it high praise, then All right, All right, so Crash again. Thank you, sir, so much for joining us on our Skeleton Crew review and, yeah, we'll see you next time. Hey, for the new season of Star Wars Safe Space, are you going to join us?
Speaker 2:Absolutely yeah. As soon as you're ready to roll, let me know.
Speaker 1:Right, so probably in a few weeks we'll be ready to roll on it. All right, right, so probably in a few weeks we'll be ready to roll on. All right, crash. Thank you so much and thank you all for joining us this week. And, uh, we will see you next week with uh, with more of this. So I'm geeking out, all right, thanks everybody.
Speaker 2:Thank you.
