STAR WARS! STAR WARS! STAR WARS

I'm sure some people who are not the target audience will have some opinions.

Where does this one take place on the Star Wars timeline?

I believe in the same timeline as the Mandalorian. The pirates I believe are the same as the ones in season 3.

This is the way

This looks fun which is really what Star Wars needs right now.

Since I really like "What if The Americans but Star Wars?" (Andor), I'm down for "What if The Goonies but Star Wars?"

I'm going to sincerely give this one a chance.

Finally finished Visions. Hope they keep doing this.

Pretty pleased with Goonies In Space so far.

I watched ep 1 last night... it was fun! Hopefully I get to ep2 this evening. Have another committee meeting I have to get through first.

Very much ready for a fun Star Wars again. First 2 episodes were great.

I started Skeleton Crew. So far so good! I like all the little homages to the original movies (And the Holiday Special?)

A good part of episode 3 gave me Dark Crystal vibes. This show is so much fun.

2 episodes into Skeleton Crew. I'm not loving it, but it's inoffensive so not out there throwing darts at Lucasfilm. Still hoping it goes somewhere....thus far doesn't really feel like a "Star Wars" property, if that makes sense?

There's a certain vibe they were going for and I think they nailed it. It's definitely aimed more for a younger crowd. I would also argue that Andor didn't really feel like Star Wars either, but for different reasons obviously. I don't really have a problem with them making spin off shows all feel different. I'd say to stick with it for the next 2 episodes.

Yeah, the first like 15 mins of the pilot made it clear this is trying to be the Goonies/ET/Spielberg-esque 80s/90s family films.

And like i said, it's not offensive so I'm not going to abandon ship (heh) but I do kinda wish it leaned into more spacey fun.

People keep saying its aimed towards a younger audience, but isn't that star wars in general?

It's weird to learn, after all of this time spent in that universe, that we learn they have a suburban housing system much like the united states.

This feels like it's aimed at an elementary school crowd. The bulk of Star Wars feels like it's got a higher target demo.
