A Long Time Ago In a Galaxy Far, Far Away.... - Star Wars General Discussion
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
Started watching Skeleton crew. I got as far as them getting to a station, and just gave up. I might try to watch it again later, but for now, I think I will watch something else first.
When you only get 1 1/2 episodes into a show and give up, you are talking about yourself, not the show. But I get it. I've got stuff going on too.
Well, honestly, I hated the kids. I liked the city that they were in, being a neat look at a futuristic city, but then it turns out to be some kind of cult planet.
I don't know how much longer I am to give a show just because it's in one of my favorite universes.
Perfectly possible it isn't for you. The kids are going to be in it the whole way through. But I liked it better later than I did at the start, if that helps.
I dig that the show is going for "80s Kids Adventure but in Star Wars."
Stranger Things really milked that specific corner of nostalgia dry so I understand if someone finds Skeleton Crew kind of treading on well-trod ground, but I enjoyed it.
The thing is for a long, long time people have said that Star Wars' strength as a fictional universe was that you could tell any kind of story in it. It doesn't have to be tied to the Skywalkers, or the Jedi, or the Sith, or Galactic politics. Mandalorian gave us Star Wars but It's A Western. Skeleton Crew gave us Star Wars but It's The Goonies. You can't say they aren't giving us choices.
Of course part of that is an admission that not everyone will love Space The Man With No Name or Space Goonies, but that's ok. More people need to be ok with going "this wasn't for me, but that's just fine."

"The Spaceman With No Name" was right there.
