Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

Every Friday night we have a watch party for this show. Tomorrow we are watching the last two episodes. Is it safe for me to tell them that the show is done. 8 episodes and no more?
Yeah, I would say so.

But knowing Disney, they will see a good reception of something and start milking it. There are things that didn’t get complete closure of course.
 
I wasn’t surprised by a single thing that happened, and had expected this as the BASE of the episode, but not the twist (which never arrived), the denouement, the closure to characters, etc.

It was a good episode but not the best by far.

Also kind of weird, but I suddenly started rooting for Jod in this episode. He should never killed the kids and their parents…I felt like the kids were finally annoying in this episode.
I didn't feel the kids were annoying in this episode, but I also felt sad for Jod at the end and sympathized with him. Jude Law and the writers did an amazing job with this character. He always came off as conflicted. I like that they kept him in that gray area.

Not to bring Marvel into this too much, but I hope he shows up elsewhere as he reminded me a bit of Loki. Extremely interesting to watch on screen with wonderful charisma, and that back and forth between good and bad that feels authentic. I mean, if Jod had turned at the end and helped the kids, that would have felt appropriate in a weird way. At the same time, if he had killed one of the parents, that would have also felt appropriate. He just rode that edge and I really enjoyed it.

Yes, very Long John Silver of him. Possibly getting away with a couple handfuls of treasure. I'd love to see him back for a Season 2. Guess we need to get the word of mouth going!

My wife, who is a mid-Star Wars fan, really loved it a lot, and is sharing with her co-workers. That's the thing: there's appeal here to non-Star Wars fans.
 
Soundtrack is out! Mick Giacchino really delivered on this series. Lots of distinct themes, and I can even hear a bit of his dad's Rogue One score influencing him

Really bummed this season has come to an end, it was such a delight! Hoping it gets greenlit for a second season — I need more stories with these characters!

Looks like the rumors were true and there was a scene filmed of Jod’s Jedi.. eerrhmmma I mean “padawan” master. For some reason the ditched the idea of a flash back and jod just explains it to the children. With these eyes I wish they kept her in..

Maybe they'll keep it for a hopeful second season. I really get the feeling that Jod was left where we see him in the finale to set up an eventual redemption. Maybe these scenes filmed with his master would give a bit more sympathy for him that what they wanted the audience to have at the end of THIS season.

I was thinking the same thing – the supposed scene has "cold open" written all over it.
 
Kind of odd there’s not been more activity in this thread for a finale episode, especially given the series was so good. I wonder if people have stopped tuning in to Disney Plus series? I assume there’s probably a lot less casual viewers too.
