just drew Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 I'm just now getting to watch Andor. It's deeply awesome, but I am confused about something; the Biggs from this show isn't the same character as Lukes friend Biggs from Tattooine, right? Like, the one who used to bullseye Womprats in Luke's T-16 back home?

Eivion Posted December 4, 2024 Posted December 4, 2024 Caught the first two episodes of Skeleton Crew over the past two nights. It definitely captures that 80s kid adventure feel they are going for. The kids are annoying but within expectations with plenty of room to grow. Really digging the pirate aspects and what little they have shown of Jude Law's character at the beginning and end has me intrigued. Really liked the robot and hope he will be a regular. What I thought was particularly interesting was the twist revealed in the second episode. Was unexpected, but it explains some of offness of the home planet the kids are from and why it will be such a journey to return to. 2
Eivion Posted December 12, 2024 Posted December 12, 2024 Thought episode 3 was pretty solid. I actually like the relationship Law has with the kids, and the pace is pretty nice. 1
Technico Support Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 The pirate robot’s name is SM-33. Smee. 1 1
Technico Support Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 He also has a peg leg, which is so needless and hilarious. This is such a good show. It’s Star Wars Goonies. 2
Eivion Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Finished the finale of Skeleton Crew an hour or two ago. Thought it was pretty nice overall along with the series in general. I like that this was mostly worked as one and done. A pity Acolyte seemed to do enough damage that not many people were watching. Still, I have seen more positive talk towards it than others so there is that at least. 1

I thought it was the most fun, baggage-free content they've made in some time, and it was smart not to have it heavily embedded in other canon and lore. It really could live inside its own bubble and thrive, and I thought it was a strong use of Jude Law's star power. I also think that's a character that is interesting enough for them to use again if it makes sense because you can see some internal conflict in the character. Wisely, it never felt forced nor addressed in some heavy-handed way, and that might be because you're trying to see this through the perspective of these kids. 2
Technico Support Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I thought it was okay but, like a lot of Star Wars shows, had a real 2-3 episode lag in the middle where they’re treading water and not much happens. Probably less noticeable or at least easier to deal with when you’re binging it. Week to week, eps like that really sour it.
