Skeleton Crew Jon Watts' Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

[Weather Witch]

Looks great…but so did Acolyte

Pacing problems and BOBF drama aside, I think the New Republic era is still peak Disney Star Wars tbh. We'll see how it does in reviews ofc.

To describe that trailer in one picture:



Which is a good thing, but I'm keeping expectations firmly in line

 

[Deck Rickard]

Space Goonies! Looks like it could be fun for younger audiences. And maybe older ones too.

 

[Erzengel]

Looks like it could be fun. I'm kinda looking forward to it.

Been waiting for this one and the trailer looks like it’ll bring something different and fun to the SW universe with the Amblin influence. So count me in.

I mean for the most part I’ve been enjoying the New Republic era of Star Wars storytelling from Disney more than the sequel trilogy (despite me likening them flaws and all including Rogue One and Solo). Skeleton Crew looks like a fun adventure set in that New Republic timeline so I can’t wait for it.

to be honest this feels like a bigger budget Ewok Adventure. Maybe we’ll get a good version of it lol

 

[BatLobster]

I'm not sure I needed to see GFFA suburbia, but in theory the concept is fun and who doesn't love Jude Law? So it's a wait see for me.

As hokey 80s Amblin: Goonies Phone Home to Endor as it looks, I actually love this stuff.

In other news… water is wet!

 

[Filmfreak]

Yeah I mean it's kind of obvious whey now renew miniseries as well, let alone a project that was never conceived as one in the first place.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I imagine it cost a lot less than the Acolyte so that should help surely?

It's not quite as expensive as Acolyte or Andor, but more costly than any season of Mando, BOBF, Obi-Wan, or Ahsoka at an estimated $136M. Ahsoka remains the cheapest to make at an estimated $12.5M per episode and has the longest runtime, outside of Andor. This comes in at about $17M per episode.

Oh wow I didn't think it would be that expensive with a mostly unknown cast. Disney really needs to start keeping their budgets in check.

Yeah, budgeting is a big problem. Though they've started to correct that with shows like Agatha now.

Hopefully they've learned they're lesson. The budget for SC seems excessive.

Alright, we’ve got blurggs and now Teek crossing over!

Now give us what we really want from those Ewok movies.

No, not the Gorax.

Brimley!

 

[Mr. Peanut]

So have they said if this gonna cross over with the other New Republic shows?

 

[Weather Witch]

How did I miss the Monkey Island reference? This show absolutely looks and sounds like my jam.

So have they said if this gonna cross over with the other New Republic shows?

There's at least one Mando character confirmed to be in there.

Spoiler

Vane, the pirate from Mando S3.
