'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' exclusive photos reveal Jaleel White and a band of space pirates, as show creators explain a 'resurgence of piracy.'
Did he do that?!?!?!?!?
Also, kinda burying the lede that the Wolfman-mask alien from the ANH Cantina scene will be an actual character.
Please don't let this suck...
Statistically speaking... it's going to suck.
Urkel as Hondo confirmed
If we're ever gonna get Hondo, this is probably it. Knowing Lucasfilm, it'll probably be as a five-second end-of-season stinger though.
Good to see some OG aliens in there, Disney kept adding almost exclusively new aliens and then only use those for a lot of their stuff.
One of the true unforced errors of the Disney era, particularly the ST itself. I get that they didn't want to be "MCU, Space Opera Division," so they wanted to get a little auteur thing going on and let JJ et al do their own thing, but Lucas et al created literally dozens of aliens and for the most part none of them were in the ST, even in background roles. It made it feel disconnected. "The universe is too small" has also been a fair criticism, but (1) you don't fix that all at once, and (2) they didn't really do that anyway, just made all the aliens into pufferfish or catfish.
I've fallen out of star wars as the recent stuff has been mediocre (or Andor which was "quality television" but felt, to me out of place in a galaxy ruled by space wizards with laser swords) but damn, seeing that wolfman dude and the notion of Urkel... Well, I'm tempted!
The real problem is they are making too much stuff. I stopped getting the comics because they were horrible. I don’t know if I’m going to watch this show or not. It would be better to have one good show tell a story for two or three seasons and then move to the next one.
That would be ideal for fans but I guess Disney doesn't view that as profit maximizing?
That's neat, I hadn't heard about this show. The trailer looks fun. Is it just me, or does Jaleel look rendered in this shot?
I agree the trailer looks fun. Goonies in space, plus a Jedi.
There's just been a certain cheap and rushed quality to recent Star Wars outings, both in writing and actual production values, that has made them a lot less enjoyable than they could be. I actually kinda liked the Acolyte and hope in particular that we see Manny Jacinto again, but I can't deny it was mostly just "kinda okay" and definitely seemed to squander its budget on cheap fake beards and fat toy lightsabers.
A breezy, fun story could handle that campy vibe a little better than ponderous end-of-galaxy stories, though. We need an infusion of charisma, too. I dunno. As always, I'm cautiously optimistic.
I'm an editor by trade, and weirdly, I think Acolyte's main problem is editing. When I later heard that the story was supposed to be all about the Sith and was reworked by producers, it clicked. It's cut like someone doing their best to make a story make sense after cornerstones of that story are removed. I've been in that position. It sucks.
“Can’t let you do that, Star Fox!”
It's got hot werewolf man. I'm in.
