Final Skeleton Crew Trailer

In Skeleton Crew, Star Wars

This will be the last official trailer before the series premiers next month. I think I’ve said this before, this show looks like it will be something fun to watch. It should remind us of what drew us to Star Wars as a kid while drawing more young fans in.

For those of us who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, this will feel like Goonies in space … and I’m here for it! This will be part of the official canon but I’m guessing we won’t see a lot of direct ties to the Skywalker Saga. I do expect a few Easter eggs/fan service elements.

I’m looking forward to it. I think it’s going to be fun.

Little was known about this project, and still not much has been revealed. We know Jude Law is a key character and we know it centered around kids. At D23, Lucasfilm finally released the trailer and here it is.

I’m definitely getting Goonies vibes from this trailer, which I’m here for. As a Gex Xer, Goonies is a staple childhood film. This also feels tailored for a much younger audience, which I think is great. Most of the live-action series have a lot of adult themes so it’s good to have something for the kids.

I don’t know where in the timeline this series is happening. If I had to guess, given the way the kids talk about the Jedi and the flashes of broken-down Imperial druids, it’s probably post-Return of the Jedi.

I’m sure a tidal wave of new information will be coming about this film over the next several months.

The Acolyte Final Thoughts

The Acolyte series poster

Now that I have had time to process (and re-watch), I will share some final thoughts on this season of The Acolyte. The series is not listed as “ended” so another season is still possible. I read somewhere that Leslye Headland already has ideas for a second season and she is “currently in discussions” with the powers that be.

Overall I think the show did not disappoint. It’s not the best series but I was still sufficiently entertained. The fact that I am unfamiliar with most of the High Republic era didn’t harm my viewing experience. I think I enjoyed it more despite that fact.

The Acolyte Episode 8

Sol in The Acolyte Episode 8

Title: The Acolyte
Directed by: Hanelle M. Culpepper

This is the season finale. Initially, this episode didn’t have an official title. The Disney+ app had it as “Episode 8” however other sources are calling it “Doom”. Only IMDB was showing it as “The Acolyte”. I wonder why the title was so elusive for so long. Regardless, let’s get on with the discussion.

Again, this will contain major spoilers so proceed with caution (or go watch it first).

Kelnacca - The Acolyte Episode 7

Title: Choice
Directed by: Kogonada

This is the penultimate episode of the first season. We finally get the other flashback episode with the title I predicted we’d get, although this episode is more from the Jedi’s perspective instead of Mae’s.

This was a solid episode that explains most things we saw in the third episode. There are still a few things left unanswered and a couple of new questions. Overall a solid performance by everyone. Only one more left.

Vernestra Rwoh's lightwhip in The Acolyte Episode 6

Title: Teach/Corrupt
Directed by: Hanelle M. Culpepper

This episode is toned down compared to last week’s episode. It’s pretty standard for the episode that follows the mid-season climax. However, it sets up the season’s final act with only two more left. Leslye Headland already has ideas for a Season Two. Things are taking an interesting turn. Yes, we get to see the lightwhip but it’s very brief. I guess it’s more of a tease. If we get a season two, I hope Vernestra Rwoh survives so that we can see better use of the lightwhip.
