Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

[joberg]

Well, as kid I had a bunch of cool adventure programs: Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, etc...
Seeing those trailers, I thought that this was a new Spielberg movie...or a Pixar one
Well, this series is for the kiiiids!! And good for them

“And us too!!!”

The OT hit us right in the heart...I often wonder in this generation, if and when that could happen again. It's a tall order...because it was a phenomenon back then...

If my teenage boys are any indication, two recent things hit them in the heart very hard: Avengers: Infinity War (not Endgame), and Into the Spider-Verse.

That being said, as adults sharing content with kids, well-timed old stuff can still do it, but that's a hard target to hit. My 15-year-old was so enamored of The Watchmen that he scrimped and saved to put together an authentic Rorshach costume this year!



So yes, childhood magic still happens...it's just a little different.

The Easter bunny in the back ground! LOL

No, i get it but i'm talking on the level of what the OT meant to an entire generation. I've got a 27, 25, 17 and 8 yr old...all of them have seen the OT, PT, ST and i didn't push a thing...just introduced them to it. Not a single one of them is a fanatic of any of them. My older boys gravitate towards the PT, my daughter, youngest son and myself the OT. I would say the closest "movement" i've seen of sorts since the OT has been Harry Potter and LOTR...Not saying i'm right...just my perception.

I think deep down, we all know a lot of it was timing and where we were, in life and technology, it was a magical time. I truly love to see joy on kids faces. I just happen to think that with all the money that goes into the entertainment end that they are being shorted in quality and are given a "light show with ooohs and aaahhs" rather than good, hearty stories that they will remember when they are our age. Just my thoughts.

Totally agree. Harry Potter is a great example, LOTR a little less so, IMO.

When I was a kid, I also wrote a short story about Luke, post-ROTJ…

In my version, Luke was a chronically depressed soul, hiding like a coward, and waiting to die on a craggy island, somewhere…

My version....

Scene: Luke's Island as Rey arrives

Rey: Holds out the saber

Luke: "Can you give me a hand with this?"

Rey: "Wha?"

Luke: "These are the jokes. I'll be in town all week. Hope to see you again." Tosses saber.

That bunny is 7 levels creepy. Like foreshadowing in a horror film.

I can almost picture ET trick or treating on this street:

I had the ET flashback on this as well.

 

[Riceball]

Just like how they Star Wars-ififed Coke for Galaxy’s Edge. XD

I did the same for the SF 49er's logo on a Niners themed Mando helmet.

 

[jkno]

Not sure why but this show feels like another nail ...

 

[Halliwax]

I am not going to spew negativity on something that isn’t even out yet.

I’m not afraid to say I’m excited to see where this goes

I have a feeling these kids met a Star Wars Dr smith.

Is that a lightsaber banging on his belt?

I’ve also heard rumors of a long time favorite alien of mine making an appearance… I sure hope that’s true..

that is a large price tag for 2 chairs, did these originate at Tiffany's?

We get this on December 3, then Andor S2 in probably Spring 2025. Then nothing till The Mandalorian and Grogu on May 22, 2026.

Ahsoka S2 follows the movie.

Price is for 2 chairs...which is cheap in my book (there's wood too, so more expensive). In the trailer, the set people added the little ass pad

I shop thrift and closeout. All else is blurry and I can't see it. Like some episodes of my favorite fandom.

At this price, I lean on Jintosh for an overnight 3d stl creation and just count the cost of budget filament.
