Was really worried by the trailers and their suburban US look to it... but... decided to give it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. Instead of groan I find this show really charming and displaying that sense of wonder seen in the OT.

Even though he looked like a human he does not necessarily be one. He could belong to a species which ages slower than we do. He could have been Grogu's pal from kindergarten.

Fun fact for anyone who forgot, Ewan and Jude were flat mates when they were starting out.

I understand the owl creature but how difficult was it to hunt down the wolf, stuff it and put it into those clothes?

I like the theory, but it tells me they learned nothing from what the pt got wrong. If you need 7 seasons of another show to make your movies work, you failed miserably when you made the movies. Nothing in the clone wars makes anakins fall in rots remotely believable. But whatever. As good a theory as it is, it would be nice if it isnt connected to the st. It just reiterates the first point more strongly. If you need to make several other series to try and prop up your ST, you failed spectacularly worse with the st. But, face it, they actually knew that going in. That is why they had 3 novels to get you up to speed before E7. But, no one does homework like that for a movie so 90% of your audience doesnt know what is in those books or that they exist.
Turns out ILM is still making practical models for these shows:

Watched half of the first episide before getting tired of it. Really surprised there's so many people here that love it, especially the people that always bellyache about everything else, including other Star Wars content.
Is it a good story? Maybe, though I wasn't interested in it (I didn't watch enough to find out if it improves). Is it "Star Wars?" To me, no. At least not what I saw. The esthetic is too "real world." Lucas created a universe that had similarities to ours - a farm boy, longing for adventure, etc - while Skeleton Crew is just our world with minor changes. If this were a sci-fi story set in our future, fine, that works. But it's not. I get taken out of any Star Wars story that has elements that are too "human," including Lucas's own works - for example, the 50s diner with straight up blues music playing that Obi-Wan visits in AOTC, or that one head of the two-headed pod race announcer. But Lucas still did a better job of riding the line of creating something familiar yet different enough that it felt new. He even made the right decision to cut Luke hanging out qith his friends at Toschi Station, which was too evocative of 1970s earth teens. People are talking about Skeleton Crew being like The Goonies, which I get, but I got the feeling Disney is trying to make it like Harry Potter.
Before the critics here bash me, I admit I didn't watch all of it, but it didn't grab me. I just wasn't interested in the story of some kid from the suburbs that wants to be a Jedi, or the girl that races speeder bikes because "there's nothing else to do on this planet." I guess the message of this is that suburbs are boring. It obviously is trying to ape Luke's story from the original Star Wars, but it misses the mark. Like I said earlier, maybe the story itself is good overall and maybe it gets more interesting, but I just didn't care to stick around to find out. I think there's a lot of people trying to convince themselves this is great like we did when the prequels came out.
