Episode notes
As we enter the holiday season, a new Star Wars project has emerged; Skeleton Crew! This show is being compared to The Goonies, but does it deserve this comparison? Mike & this week’s guest Thomas discuss this and more in episodes This Could Be A Real Adventure And Way, Way Out Past The Barrier!
In more detail, Mike & Thomas begin by recapping their thoughts on Acolyte & other live-action SW projects, then around the 10 minute mark, they delve into the two episodes of Skeleton Crew. Mike & Thomas talk about the vibe of the show and its inspirations, how the characters work, the stakes and the aesthetics (especially the many aliens seen in the show). The duo also give some predictions and seem intent on bringing up The High Republic at any turn – tune in for a tangent-fuelled talk about likes, dislikes and wildest theories!
