Still searching for their home world, the crew’s robot steers them to what was likely once very similar to At Attin but now is a post-apocalyptic hellscape (or the Disney equivalent where nothing remotely violent happens on-screen). The crew spends a single episode on At Achrann with the kids and Jod (Jude Law) each joining opposing warbands until they meet up again with the crafty pirate captain having crafted a fix for all of them. The end of the episode teases clues to the real At Attin until it’s revealed SM-33 (Nick Frost) has been programed to forget about his experience with the former planet. When those memories are unlocked by Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) his orders to kill anyone asking about the planet are revived as well.

  • wiki: link | link

The second and third episodes of Skeleton crew provide the first experience of space for Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), and KB (Kyriana Kratter) who find themselves lightyears away from home. Taken to a nearby pirate space station by the ship’s droid, who recognizes Fern as captain, the foursome discover trust is a commodity in short supply, although Wim does make the acquaintance of the marginally Force sensitive imprisoned former pirate captain (Jude Law) who he mistakes for a Jedi (and is all to willing to let that misconception stand). Escaping the port together, Jod, Silvo, Captain Jack, or whatever you want to call him, agrees to help the kids find their home believing the legends of treasure to be found on the lost planet of At Attin.

Skeleton Crew – This Could Be a Real Adventure

After producing The Acolyte, what would become the most divisive Star Wars series (and one that I enjoyed for the most part), it appears Disney has retreated to more familiar territory. Skeleton Crew feels like a Disney Channel series with a Disney+ budget. The opening episode, “This Could Be a Real Adventure” introduces us to Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), his best-friend Neel (Robert Timothy Smith), and a pair of slightly older girls in Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) and KB (Kyriana Kratter) who, at least so far, is the only useful member of the foursome. Most of the premiere sticks with Wim giving us the basic dreamer/screwup son disappointing his father (Tunde Adebimpe) who isn’t a bad guy but far from a great dad.

LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy - Part Four

The fun of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy has been seeing the various strange mashups of characters and ships in the new universe Sig (Gaten Matarazzo) accidentally created. Unfortunately, by the time you get to the final episode, there are no more of these fun surprises left (except in the epilogue), leaving the show to struggle with only its base story to fall back on. “Part Four” does what you would expect, wrapping up the story while still leaving the world open to future adventures. However, other than the tease of the Landolorian (Billy Dee Williams) and Grogu there’s not much memorable here.
