In this episode, the boys take on Skeleton Crew, the newest series from DIsney, for KIDS! (fuck them kids)
00:00:00
Do you ever get like one of those itches like under the skin and no matter what you do
00:00:05
You can't do anything. So you kind of end up biting the area to try to like scratch it or is that just me?
00:00:10
Okay, no, I do that. Thank the lord. I'd be looking stupid because i'll do it in public. I just started biting my fucking hand
00:00:16
I've had people look at me. Someone asked if I had a rash once
00:00:20
I had the same feeling that I never bite. Why give into it?
00:00:24
No, I don't
00:00:26
Listen to my or I don't let
00:00:28
My impulsive or intrusive thoughts win. Oh shit. My intrusive thoughts have never fucking lost
00:00:33
Yes, if I lost them, oh god, i'll be a different person
00:00:37
Brick 3po unhinged
00:00:40
It's not pretty i've seen you angry a grand total of like one time only and it was very terrifying and I thought I was
00:00:46
Going to die. Wait, when?
00:00:48
Uh, I don't know
00:00:49
I pissed you off some way at mom's house once and then I ended up being chased around the fucking island for like 15 minutes
00:00:57
And then you finally caught me you picked me up and then you punched me in the chest
00:01:01
That's our boy
00:01:04
That's our brick
00:01:05
You've also kicked me in the coccyx before and that's the only time i've ever actually been mad at you that shit hurt
00:01:11
I think that will happen in one one day that happened at hunters. Oh, I remember that one
00:01:16
You're like I kick your ass and I was like no you won't and then you literally kicked my ass like what you said
00:01:22
I won't good times. That's toxic. That was toxic
00:01:28
So
00:01:49
Hello everyone and welcome back to a new season of the force inscripted
00:01:53
I am your local fact-checking cyborg brick dpo
00:01:56
Uh that title can be determined. Uh, I don't know if i'm mostly robot or half robot
00:02:03
Uh, what am I guys?
00:02:09
Lovely well
00:02:11
If I let me out of the lab to be able to talk to you well
00:02:14
And unfortunately, the first topic we're gonna have to talk about is the skeleton crew
00:02:19
not unfortunately
00:02:21
I found it slightly unfortunate
00:02:23
But overall what were your thoughts boys?
00:02:27
I liked it. I thought I like normal stories in a fantasy world
00:02:32
Okay, like that's one of the reasons why I liked and or so much. I like the whole coming of age theme
00:02:39
I thought that it was written. Well, it wasn't I will say it wasn't the most like action-packed
00:02:45
In fact entertaining kind of star wars thing, but like I still enjoyed it personally. I'm okay with coming of age stories
00:02:54
But uh when they're too young it becomes too cringy and kind of bad
00:02:59
Well, what specifically about it was cringy and bad in your opinion? Well
00:03:04
Let me bring up the notes
00:03:06
Oh god, he has notes. He's a droid. Of course. He has a note. He's not a data thing. As a droid analysis, I have to write notes
00:03:16
First of all first question
00:03:18
Other than me as a droid
00:03:20
Who in the world makes their children memorize natural log?
00:03:24
That's just weird
00:03:25
Well, the only natural logs that I know are the ones that I drop in the fucking toilet, but okay
00:03:31
It's like those are not natural they go against the Geneva Convention. But anyways, the first question that the child
00:03:39
You know is questioned by his father in episode one is you know, what's whatever table of five and that?
00:03:46
Happens to be the natural log of five. Why are they making children memorize these things?
00:03:52
That's a sad besides the point. It's the fact that I mean go ahead. I feel like I feel like that's a very
00:03:58
Small thing that you don't have to hone in on it's just I feel like it's just pounding in the fact that like
00:04:06
I'm just being nifty for no reason for that point
00:04:08
Other other ones are gonna be real but yes, I can make like objective and subjective
00:04:14
Like logical reasonings first off the kid. I mean the wanderlust of way to be a Jedi is kind of whatever
00:04:21
to
00:04:22
the Maximillius Rebo kind of
00:04:24
Who that guy is kind of cute, but I mean I didn't sign up for space
00:04:31
Goonies when I heard the name skeleton crew, but that's like that's that's exactly what it was advertised as
00:04:37
I didn't watch any advertisement and everything went in blind. You just said watch it. I said, okay
00:04:42
I figured our droid would have done some research
00:04:45
No, yeah fact checker
00:04:47
You guys told me the bare minimum is first episode last episode. I'm like, okay
00:04:52
I don't have to do anything else except I watched all eight and I kind of didn't have any feelings for it at all
00:04:58
There was like a weird cringy moment where they had the child soldiers
00:05:02
What Akron and the very brief amount of time that they had spent together the weird?
00:05:09
Was Neil and whatever her name is to the point where after they were going to part
00:05:15
She gave him a kiss and I was like why I made no sense. I was cute
00:05:19
Shut up wrote Neil was the the best of the four kids
00:05:24
Honestly, Neil and you know why it's because he was an alien and you couldn't actually see his character
00:05:29
But my entire note says this show blows except for SM 33 and KB and whatever the fuck
00:05:36
Cthulhu's ones. I love Cthulhu's I love KB too. I thought I've never gotten to explore
00:05:43
You know anything about like a cyborg character outside of low bar and like the stuff that he does with Lando and the legends books
00:05:49
So I was actually really excited to see
00:05:52
A character like KB. That was really cool
00:05:55
It's really cool that like she I think she was maybe paralyzed or had like a brain injury
00:06:03
And so it's really cool representing like extreme, you know
00:06:08
injuries and whatnot being
00:06:11
Fixable or you know, they have prosthesis
00:06:13
For stuff like that in Star Wars. I agree. I am living proof of that apparently
00:06:19
Exotic you've been real quiet over there. What's your what's your thoughts on it?
00:06:23
I know you didn't like it. Yeah, anything that doesn't have a wookie and fucking lightsaber action
00:06:28
I mean, it's literally space goonies. They even have the fat comic relief kid if the Star Wars name wasn't attached to it
00:06:33
Nobody would have watched it
00:06:34
I think that there's a lot in a Star Wars series
00:06:40
That is marketed to kids. I think that the fact that they did it live action outside of animation this time
00:06:47
Was something that should be appreciated. Honestly, I don't mind the fact that it was less action
00:06:54
I still think that it had it had some really good action scenes and some really good scenes just overall
00:07:00
But I mean it was just something simple cute quick and I liked it. I thought it was well written
00:07:07
I feel like all the nitpicks that you guys are gonna bring up for this are just the fact that it's not
00:07:12
traditional Star Wars and
00:07:15
That's okay. I mean like the biggest gripe I had to it's like out of all the stories like they could have done
00:07:22
They decided to choose this one to put out first. It's like I don't know. It's
00:07:28
Not Star Wars to me and I'm getting tired of Disney's happy endings in every series they do
00:07:34
Okay, but Andor is coming out soon. So like it's not like it's the only thing this year.
00:07:39
Oh, well, yeah
00:07:41
You're just lame. Fuck you. That's what it is. You're the problem not Star Wars
00:07:46
I mean this show is much better than
00:07:50
Young Jedi or whatever the the other kids show was they've only really made two they've made the young Jedi one which is a
00:07:57
High Republic show and they've made this one. I think this one
00:08:01
I mean besides the fact that the other one is animated and this one is live-action. I think this one has a much more
00:08:07
Engaging story and they were both geared towards kids
00:08:10
And I feel like this one just had the option to be open to people who aren't kids
00:08:15
Whereas the other one like when she was mentioning is is is strictly for kids
00:08:19
Like you can watch it if you just want to watch something Star Wars
00:08:22
I did but I definitely now that one I didn't enjoy but I enjoy skeleton crew
00:08:27
I mean that scene with the hut was definitely not just for kids. Yeah, I'm not i'm not addressing that
00:08:33
No, we're addressing that because that was the funniest shit
00:08:36
I would like to point out the hut scene too
00:08:38
Because it's the fact that I was watching this with close cashies and the attendant said not again. This was just happening before
00:08:46
That's why I was fucking laughing so hard
00:08:49
The only thing in this show that made me laugh like a ton was that because like
00:08:55
He was like not again. So clearly something happens in that hut's mouth
00:08:59
That doesn't end with that dude dying and I just know that Nikita wants to be a part of it
00:09:05
Don't take the low-hanging fruit. Don't take the low-hanging fruit. Don't take the low-hanging fruit
00:09:09
What that mouth do?
00:09:11
But I will say like as an overall show it was good
00:09:13
I will admit that as an overall show was good
00:09:16
I just it pains me to see the decision makings of children because I can't find it logical
00:09:22
In any means because you were born 40 years old. No, this motherfucker wants office supplies most christmases
00:09:29
Like he was born 40 years old. Of course, you don't take delight in the child wonder because you were born an old man
00:09:36
Damn
00:09:40
But no, I
00:09:41
There was there was a lot that I want to talk about because I I thought that like y'all know me like in past episodes
00:09:47
I've talked about like
00:09:49
symbolism in Star Wars and it's always the thing that I try to appreciate the most because
00:09:54
I do find a lot of symbology within Star Wars
00:09:59
And you can kind of find some in in like every series that's been put out really when I think about it
00:10:06
Maybe not. I can't think of like a main like
00:10:10
Like symbology that was present like book of boba fet
00:10:12
But like the Mandalorian does it and the
00:10:16
Like the Mandalorian does it and or does it and the one that I the the one scene that stands out
00:10:24
Symbologically for me in the skeleton crew was
00:10:29
when they're on the
00:10:31
What's it called?
00:10:32
What's the planet that they were on it started with an l
00:10:36
Luna
00:10:38
Was it no, no, sorry
00:10:40
I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what it was called. I don't know. I don't know
00:10:46
I don't know. I don't know what it was called. I don't know what it was called. I don't know
00:10:51
La Tuna lacuna. Is that what it was called?
00:10:53
Fact check big two p.m
00:10:57
The planet's name is la nupa
00:11:00
La nupa, okay
00:11:01
That's what it was
00:11:02
Um, but yeah when they're on that planet and they you know
00:11:05
They just had to fight they split off into the groups of two and then they come back together
00:11:09
So it was like a whole
00:11:11
I just I loved the whole like
00:11:14
Symbolism of like them breaking off their old shell moving forward
00:11:19
Um, you know like in this new light in this new form and also the scene itself was just really fucking cool
00:11:25
I thought that shit was badass
00:11:27
So like that that that was something that that definitely stood out
00:11:31
I I loved the growth
00:11:33
That was exhibited by the children throughout the series too
00:11:37
because if you analyze it less of from a star wars perspective and as a true
00:11:44
Story about like a fantasy coming of age and you look at it from that lens
00:11:49
I felt like it hit it hit all the all the notes like honestly
00:11:54
Yeah, we had the like from a child's perspective. We had like the arguing with the parents
00:12:00
You know not getting through to them. The parents are always off at work. The kids rebel go on a journey
00:12:07
You know run into some shit get betrayed learn a lesson
00:12:11
Do stuff on their own with their new magical powers
00:12:14
which is really just being able to fly the spaceship without a droid and then uh
00:12:19
They save the day at the end. It's a good kid show fuck jod though for real. Yeah, he was uh, he was a
00:12:27
Good character. I mean it reminds me of um
00:12:31
Captain silver whatever from treasure planet. Well, yeah at the end captain silver had like kind of a change of heart and
00:12:39
Gave the kid stuff and let him go this one dude
00:12:43
just
00:12:43
Gave up after he lost so many times. Yes
00:12:47
Which made me surprised that he didn't just go full ballistic after they've shut down
00:12:51
The barrier wait someone's parent should have died
00:12:54
Exactly something should have happened but he's like no we're just going to you know
00:13:00
Sit here and watch me revel in my defeat
00:13:02
I kind of wanted them to reveal that like maybe whim had some degree of force sensitivity
00:13:09
I'm glad they didn't I thought they would too and i'm glad they didn't
00:13:13
I was so glad he did not have any force abilities because I was like that's a fucking cop out you think so
00:13:18
Yes, we don't need everything to go through the force in my notes. I literally have convenience lights
00:13:24
Saber is convenient like they didn't need to put it in his treasure trove, but it just happened to be there
00:13:30
Such a passionate argument from a droid. I love it. Yeah brick 3po really must hate lightsabers. It's probably you know
00:13:37
remnants of the war right
00:13:39
I'm missing it more because of one and a leg, you know, that's besides the point. Oh brick 3po lore
00:13:45
I love it
00:13:46
but on a lighter note, uh
00:13:47
I'd like to say that yeah, I was fairly surprised and you know, very entertained that they had jaleel white as a pirate
00:13:55
I thought it was funny. I had to do a double take when they passed when they were on the the the pirate. Um
00:14:01
The the what was it called? Yeah the port I was like
00:14:07
I love that they used the same pirate from the mandalorian
00:14:12
As one of the the raiders you mean the big way guy. Yeah
00:14:16
Uh vein. Yeah, he did look he did look familiar. Now. Yeah, that that's the weak way from mando
00:14:22
And then I gotta say like like truly like you you hit the nail on the head brick 3po
00:14:27
Sm33 was a great fucking character. I am very appreciative of
00:14:32
Sentient robots though. I may be biased because i'm part of one but he really did
00:14:39
Prove to be you know
00:14:40
A true neutral character throughout the entire show because he's like, you know, I follow the lead of the captain
00:14:46
And it kept switching positions of oh, this is a captain. This is a captain when fern was like I claim
00:14:53
Unclaimsies and he was like, uh, jod was like you can't do that and he goes I but it was close enough
00:15:01
You can only be the captain of one ship
00:15:04
I also think it's cool that they like dove into the like the pirates code too because like you get some
00:15:11
Like we get some of like the smuggler's code from like solo and you know
00:15:15
Some other hints throughout the series, but like I actually did not know that there was a pirate's code
00:15:20
I know that honda onaka had mentioned it and I was really hoping that he would get like a cameo or something in this
00:15:26
um, sadly no, but
00:15:28
I was actually interested in the pirate's code because I didn't I didn't really know that like
00:15:32
It had tenants the same way like the smuggler's code has or like, you know, the mandos have so that was kind of cool
00:15:38
To find out also. I mean
00:15:40
Everywhere they go every single kind of organization would have some form of a code to abide by
00:15:46
Kind of like the pirate's code from the parts of the caribbean. I've got a job
00:15:51
Sitting here. I'm realizing that this show really is just star wars treasure planet
00:15:56
Exactly. That's the I could not see the show anything but that movie
00:16:00
And i'm just like I kind of feel ripped off just a little bit
00:16:04
Yeah, the robot who belonged to the previous captain
00:16:08
Who has the coordinates in his brain?
00:16:10
But he has memory loss and the captain who tries to trick the kid but really just wants the goods and the treasure at the end
00:16:17
Really?
00:16:19
Yeah, everything fits like a like a perfect shoe
00:16:23
So I do have some questions and I I didn't get it from the series and maybe you guys picked up on it
00:16:28
But like so at attin
00:16:31
Must have been hidden
00:16:33
When the empire was rising, correct? Like that that's beforehand
00:16:37
Before it was always hidden. It was always hidden
00:16:41
Because it's a mint for their money. Yeah, it's always there was a collective of I believe six planets
00:16:49
of similar
00:16:51
Facilities at some point before the rise of the empire they had to
00:16:56
Hide said planets before things could happen to them because something happened to the other five
00:17:02
So they had to at least protect the mint from in with the old republic credits on it
00:17:07
So they never knew that the empire had risen and fallen then right? Oh, no, no, no, not at all a good note for that
00:17:15
Would be what the superior said when he talked to jod
00:17:20
Which was the last thing we got from the public was all jedi's are traitors
00:17:24
All jedi's are traitors supervisor not superior. Yep. Oh supervisor. Sorry. Yes, correct
00:17:30
so the empire never knew about the the mints or
00:17:35
Palpatine knew about some of them, but not all of them and went and raided them for money to pay for the death star
00:17:41
Oh, you know, I didn't think about that
00:17:43
I mean that would be my idea guess as to why you would raid your own mints, right or you know, they they weren't collapsed
00:17:50
prior to the empire supposedly
00:17:53
Because the ad adan was in communication with the network
00:17:57
But yeah, you know empire either didn't know about them or they raided it for the money
00:18:01
Which could explain where they got the funding hidden funding might I add?
00:18:06
for
00:18:07
Constructing the death star. I still think overall the series was was at the very least
00:18:12
I think it was well written
00:18:14
It may not have been like the star wars series that that people are used to or the star wars that they were even
00:18:22
expecting but I
00:18:24
I can't say that it was poorly written. It may be a knockoff of treasure planet
00:18:29
But I don't think it was it was I mean like when you copy paste it's hard to fuck up, right?
00:18:33
But I think it was good. I liked it
00:18:37
The force awakens is a perfect example of copy pasting and then fucking up
00:18:43
And you know what the fandom's response to this one wasn't as negative as it was for like the acolyte even
00:18:49
Uh, what's the bitch? What's the bitch name star wars theory even liked?
00:18:54
The the skeleton crew he said that it had poor viewership because of the acolyte like people are still acolyte shaming
00:19:00
Even in a series that has nothing to do with it
00:19:03
But like even he liked the skeleton crew. So I mean, I feel like that's a good lit mistest
00:19:08
I feel like I mean the the same people that were complaining about the two
00:19:12
Uh coven moms in the acolyte. I'm sure would probably be complaining about kb having two moms
00:19:20
In this show. It doesn't make sense to me since you know, a good series gets bashed
00:19:24
But a shitty series is just flow and flown under the radar. I'm saying that light was amazing
00:19:29
Just a hacker
00:19:31
The acolyte was amazing and they killed it for zero reason
00:19:34
Skeleton crew is dogshit never should have been made
00:19:38
And nobody said anything about it
00:19:40
I would say it should never have been made. I just don't like the way they portrayed the kid
00:19:46
Some part of me just wishes the kids would at least use some form of common sense rather than
00:19:51
mysticism, you know, but they're kids they're like
00:19:54
See, that's my
00:19:56
again
00:19:57
Why do you think so many kids get in the back of the candy van like
00:20:01
They're like, oh shiny
00:20:03
Something sweet i'ma hop in this van forget everything i've ever been told about stranger danger
00:20:09
The way I viewed the show everything stemmed off of the one decision that will made
00:20:16
When he pressed the button when everyone said let's go home. You're telling me if you were a kid
00:20:22
You wouldn't want to press the red button first of all, it was a green button and no or whatever
00:20:27
Look, you wouldn't absolutely want to press the bad bad. No, he wouldn't have I I don't even think that bad example
00:20:34
He was born 40 years old like I understand that he has the wanderlust of wanting to go elsewhere because he's been reading
00:20:41
Jedi lore or whatever kind of scriptures on his datapad
00:20:45
But at the same time you're like, okay, we're not in a Jedi temple. We are in a weird space
00:20:52
Underground. I don't want to mess with anything. Otherwise we could end up dead. Yeah, man. I would have pressed the button
00:20:59
I too would have pressed the button exotic. Would you have pressed the button? I have no idea. I don't fuck with buttons
00:21:06
fuck
00:21:12
I will say I liked Neil and kb's
00:21:16
Acting more than I liked fern and whim's acting
00:21:20
I think I mean Neil won because he was an alien so they got him they could make him, you know
00:21:27
Anything they wanted and then I think KB did a good job part of it's probably because she doesn't have much facial expression
00:21:34
But her dialogue is you know decent enough
00:21:36
I think Neil's growth was probably my favorite like his change from being like
00:21:41
You know like the sidekick who's always like second guessing himself to being brave and like actually throwing a fucking rocket
00:21:47
Sm33 like I was like, oh shit trunk boy you go and then he hops on a turbo laser
00:21:53
Yeah, that was impressive and the fact that he remembered it just from one instance from the meeting on akron
00:22:00
That's you know, he's a smart kid. I appreciate that. I kind of wish I had
00:22:07
Or they had like teased a little bit more
00:22:10
for um
00:22:11
Jod's background. I want to know which jedi found him
00:22:15
But I feel like it's too much of a fan service if they make it someone, you know
00:22:19
How do you even know that that was a real story anyway?
00:22:22
Everything every single thing he said the entire show was a lie. Well, how else do you explain the ability to to?
00:22:30
Like even if he is force sensitive training with that shit without guidance is hard
00:22:34
He had to have someone who was at least acquainted with the force like a guardian of wills or something to be able to
00:22:42
Push him in the right direction, right? I feel like that makes sense. I mean, he's a pirate
00:22:47
He totally could have just found some, you know stolen some holocron or something from somebody's treasure hoard
00:22:54
Yeah, because throughout the whole show he only technically told one truth and that was
00:22:59
Akron exists. Oh, sorry, Aton exists
00:23:01
We can't for sure say that the jedi was true, but I mean it makes it, you know
00:23:08
Helpful that he learned from somebody
00:23:11
I guess the only real real reason they needed to even describe his background like that is so that people wouldn't complain that
00:23:19
Oh, he's just another fucking jedi that survived order 66. Nah, he's just some street rat who learned a little bit of you know, force
00:23:28
Manipulation personally I was I was just like thinking about it. I guess the one
00:23:33
gripe that I have for the show is that like there was an
00:23:36
Exorbitant amount of ex machina. Yeah, I mean there's always a bigger fish
00:23:43
There is always a bigger fish
00:23:45
also, oh, oh one thing I want to mention specifically for you winchie too is um, so like I
00:23:51
I don't know if they're the same race or not, but jot's contact on that one planet
00:23:57
Did that not remind you of vergare? That's what I always imagined vergare would look like
00:24:02
Yeah, is no. I yeah, I never imagined him looking like that
00:24:11
The name is Kim. Oh, yeah, I always imagined that that's what vergare looked like like she the way that they described her in legends
00:24:19
I don't know. That's that's kind of like they were comics with vergare and then oh really there. Yeah, she's like a drink
00:24:25
Oh, I always thought she was like a cat bird. Oh, she's more like oh
00:24:29
Oh, this is what she looks like. Oh, never mind. She was posh. That's what she is
00:24:36
Okay, you know, I never thought to look at look up what she might look like
00:24:39
I thought the I thought Kim was cool though. No Kim Kim reminded me of
00:24:45
the old
00:24:47
legend of the Guardians
00:24:49
Movie about the owls. There's a like talking about there's a there's a old
00:24:55
Children's book series about owls and they made a movie about it
00:24:58
Live-action and there's like a kooky
00:25:02
Like shamanistic and out not live-action. Sorry. Yeah, I
00:25:07
Did you I thank you?
00:25:10
No, yeah that
00:25:13
I'm sure like that. It's all that's fucking book series
00:25:16
Yep, and then if I relate it to one like thing from the the entirety of skeleton crew
00:25:23
It's absolutely the fucking trash crabs. I love them. I would I would die for them. I
00:25:30
Great to disagree. You don't know I think that he would absolutely follow the trash crabs to the big one and then just be like
00:25:37
Let's be friends and then get eaten. Oh, I mean sure I mean following them would be just for natural curiosity
00:25:44
I wouldn't die for them. No, I would die for them. I would protect them with my life
00:25:49
Well, your version of protection is gonna become their food follow follow follow follow follow
00:25:57
Exotic it was there anything about the skeleton crew that you actually did like anything? No nothing
00:26:03
You know, I fell asleep through like eight episodes. I think there's only eight episodes
00:26:10
Could not it did not catch my attention I could not
00:26:13
Continue watching it. It was I don't know. Okay, so I got through it
00:26:19
But then what what could they have done that would have made it better like without
00:26:24
previously
00:26:25
without
00:26:26
Greasiously changing the dynamic of the show itself
00:26:30
What could they have at least added to it to have made you want to like it more?
00:26:36
Not a happy ending more pirates
00:26:38
Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Oh, okay pirate. He would have gone crazy for that one
00:26:43
No, okay, so be pirates back check brick 3po. What year does this take place in the Star Wars universe?
00:26:50
My guess was like
00:26:52
skeleton crew
00:26:54
happens during nine a b y oh cool
00:26:57
So I was guessing like six but nine nine makes sense. Wait, so then
00:27:03
When does Windows Mando take place? It's much later, right?
00:27:07
That check big 3po when does the Mandalorian take place? Yeah, cuz it's it's
00:27:14
Yeah, so okay, so the pirate was in this before he was in the Mandalorian
00:27:20
so somehow his dumb weak way ass escaped from that planet and all the the X-wings and everything to
00:27:27
End up on another dude's pirate ship that also got blown out of you know in atmosphere flight
00:27:34
Which he also escaped from I mean the only smart weakly we've ever found was Honda, right?
00:27:39
I'm pretty sure I mean this guy's at least lucky and I wouldn't necessarily call Honda smart either
00:27:45
Honda's pretty smart Honda's resourceful. I guess you gotta be
00:27:50
Smart to be conniving and resourceful though, right? Yes, I guess you're right
00:27:53
It's like if they wanted to fucking dive into some pirates even like a fucking cad Bane series
00:27:58
I'd even take a Honda series over skeleton crew
00:28:01
I also would take a Honda series over skeleton crew, but I really like Honda Anacca
00:28:05
I wish that I really wish they would have put him in this like at least a cameo or something because if it's pirates
00:28:11
Like he's a very
00:28:13
Hometic pirate it would he would have fit in the story pretty well. I think yeah, I can make him the fucking
00:28:20
Dude that comes and saves them and out of some fucking
00:28:22
Wink of a Jedi padawan like I think if you take out Jod
00:28:26
Like if you take out Jod and replace it with Honda, you have a pretty good story, too. I'd like it more the the B wings
00:28:33
Dude the B wings with the freaking lasers. There's yes
00:28:38
Beings actually doing what they're supposed to do man like cap ship busting
00:28:42
Most of the time B wings drop proton bombs though, right? Yeah, they're bombers but like
00:28:48
Capsule busting is the is the key. Yes
00:28:50
Absolutely heavy armament. Yeah, so I think that I
00:28:56
Again, like I know I know we're we're all of a bit of a different opinion when she's probably the middle ground here for once
00:29:03
I really liked a exotic really didn't and brick 3po is being brick 3po about it, but I would like to get you guys's
00:29:12
Overall I
00:29:14
Would like to get you guys as overall rating of the series
00:29:16
Including everything like the fact that it is a Star Wars series coming of age all that factor it all in so
00:29:24
I'll start off like if I have to give this series an overall rating. I
00:29:29
Would give it a 7.2 out of 10. I really like the
00:29:34
The the story that it told even though it is a copy and paste. I
00:29:38
Enjoyed the character development. I enjoyed a lot of the the scenes the symbology
00:29:45
I'm not supposed to symbolism. Sorry
00:29:48
And I I really enjoyed it
00:29:50
It was a it was a nice little feel-good take on Star Wars that you don't get in a lot of Star Wars
00:29:56
outside of like, you know the animated kids and Lego stuff I
00:30:01
I don't I can't say that I would go back and rewatch it for any reason unless like
00:30:06
Maybe something from the plot pops up and something in the future
00:30:10
But I definitely I 7.2 out of 10 is why why I stand firm on that
00:30:15
Yeah, I'd give it a I give it a 7 myself. I think it's a good kid show. I think
00:30:20
From a kid's perspective. I'd give it like a seven and a half eight
00:30:23
But as an adult watching a kid show, I'd give it like a seven. I there were enjoyable moments
00:30:29
Even for me that weren't too childish. There are some moments of cringe. I mean you are watching kids
00:30:36
acting but
00:30:38
It was good Star Wars. It had a a decent story redemption arcs
00:30:43
Coming home, you know, your parents don't actually hate you and they forgive you. I thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed it a lot
00:30:49
I would have to rate the show about
00:30:53
5.8 out of 10. I'm
00:30:55
docking it would have been a six
00:30:58
It's a good show. I did enjoy the story
00:31:00
I just couldn't connect with any of the main children because I didn't have that same kind of
00:31:06
Have that same kind of thought process or one or less as a chance I didn't click with me
00:31:12
But I liked how certain parts of the show were dark
00:31:15
I learned how I learned certain things like what happens when you hyperdrive attached to something so I can use that in
00:31:22
a feature thing based off of our
00:31:25
D&D escapades and
00:31:28
the only like the reason why I'm putting it down just a little bit is because as a person who is studying aviation maintenance
00:31:34
I do not understand the molten ship thing and
00:31:38
In a physical standpoint why the whole broke off like a sock
00:31:45
It's something they've done in shows like the Eclipse not the Eclipse the expanse to where they've disguised
00:31:53
Ships as like junk freighters or whatever
00:31:57
Adding extra parts of a ship should be found by shouldn't rumble like a sock. Well, that's what I'm saying
00:32:03
Like they they dump it at a certain point like it takes damage or whatever and then they dump it and get away or in
00:32:10
Other things as well. Okay. Well, I still stand by my 5.8. It's it's an overall decent show
00:32:17
I'd like to try something. Hmm initiate droid override for fact check mode
00:32:21
Brick 3po instead of providing a fact check. Can you give us your honest rating of the skeleton crew? Oh
00:32:34
Shit look how you deny override
00:32:39
You didn't say the override code and only one person knows it is he dead no, who is it?
00:32:46
I can't tell you god damn it back check brick 3po who has the override code access to that god damn
00:32:52
All right exotic you're up
00:32:54
Negative to negative bitch. Okay, that's a little harsh
00:32:58
I would rather go sit through the Star Wars resistance then watch that again hot take I enjoyed resistance to weird
00:33:06
Bro, the fucking Olympus that shit was cool as fuck was it called the Olympus? It's been a while since I watched it
00:33:12
No idea. I've never watched it fact check brick 3po. What is the name of the big ship in Star Wars resistance?
00:33:18
That's that lifts off the planet and travels through hyperspace
00:33:24
Loading fact check Delta 942 if ship in question is a CR 90 Corvette
00:33:32
It is called the Tantive 4 no the Tantive 4 is what took Princess Leia to tattoo it response
00:33:40
Shit name unknown the fuck was the shit? Oh, no the Colossus. That's what it is
00:33:45
Sorry brick 3po didn't mean to break your data banks response fuck you. It's a feeling station not shit
00:33:53
counter response fuck me I guess
00:33:58
Stupid meatbag
00:34:00
stupid yeah
00:34:01
But yeah, I feel like there is so many other projects that they could have been working on over this
00:34:07
I don't think it was needed. It's like cool live-action kids show, but I mean, you know
00:34:13
There's better kids shows that are animated. I mean they just didn't do a very good job on this
00:34:17
I think they did a good job on it, but I will agree with you on the point that I
00:34:22
There were other projects that could have done and there there were there are definitely other projects that I would have enjoyed more but
00:34:29
Again to its credit. I don't think that it was a bad series. I don't think it was poorly done either
00:34:34
I also like outside of Marvel there aren't very many kids shows with like this amount of
00:34:41
Production to them these kids aren't gonna fucking notice this about a production forum
00:34:46
Yeah, honestly fuck them kids like I'm glad that they got their own show
00:34:49
But I don't give a shit about the production value of their shit, but you are right you you are absolutely right there
00:34:54
There there are not a lot like outside of like the superhero shit
00:34:58
There is not a lot for kids that that has this kind of high quality studio production
00:35:04
I just don't think it was needed
00:35:05
don't think it was asked for and like there's 10 million other stories that they could have gone with and
00:35:12
Would have been amazing see this is the side of your argument that I'll actually agree with I'm behind you on that part
00:35:18
110% and Disney needs the can it with the happy endings
00:35:22
It's Star Wars not Star Wars and flowers and so it can't be a fucking field of flowers on at the end of every story
00:35:30
I mean outside of like if you're talking about like George Lucas's Star Wars outside of Empire Strikes Back
00:35:36
Everything else has a happy ending. That's his problem whose exotics are George Lucas's
00:35:41
Tires of happy endings. He doesn't want happy endings. Yeah, it's like Star Wars
00:35:46
Fucking where the wars at like someone has to die. He wants road one everyone dies exactly
00:35:53
Everyone gets blown up the entire planet just goes kaboom story over like even
00:36:00
Happy ending no no to make him the happiest they should
00:36:05
Put the scene with Chewbacca and the moon into live-action. I think he would enjoy that one the most
00:36:12
Rocks not even my favorite will keep but but okay
00:36:15
Imagine you're about to get smashed by a moon
00:36:17
You save your best friend's son and all you do is fucking yell at the moon as it smashes you into oblivion
00:36:23
That's badass also
00:36:26
Legends accurate so you're telling me a wookiee can fucking hold up a fucking moon, but a hut is still stronger
00:36:34
He didn't hold up a moon. He just got smashed by it
00:36:36
It was crashing into the planet and there's nothing he can do so he just fucking yells in anger
00:36:40
I don't know the whole planet gets destroyed like he's on the planet. He's not holding anything up
00:36:46
He's just fucking yelling at it as it kills him
00:36:49
Yeah, so like the planet is like or the moon is revolving or yeah revolving around the planet and each
00:36:56
Like revolution it gets closer and closer and speeds up and so on the final revolution
00:37:02
It's just about to fucking smash into him, and he's just like ah
00:37:06
boom goodbye
00:37:08
Probably do the same shit. I probably just throw my hands. I'll be like well fuck me
00:37:12
I guess and then goodbye first of all you wouldn't have been saving your best friend's son in the first place
00:37:18
You would have been the first one on this spaceship if I had a life death to you, which I'm getting pretty close
00:37:24
I would I would save your son
00:37:26
I just want you to know that you have a life dead to me not to my son you'd have left that little snot behind
00:37:33
No, I wouldn't have for your son bro Tina would have shot herself in the head to kill me in hell damn you right
00:37:42
It's about to say no she yeah, she would
00:37:44
You don't you're as bad
00:37:46
