Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! I forgot to mention in the video that the biggest connection to The Mandalorian in Skeleton Crew comes from the appearance of Vane - the Nikto pirate who we saw in The Mandalorian season 3 and has so far been a background character in Skeleton Crew as a member of Captain Silvo/Jod Na Nawood’s pirate gang. However, since there is no indication that this couldn’t be set before The Mandalorian still, then let’s just imagine that Vane goes off to join the big fish pirate guy from Mando
@@ProfEngywook thanks for the feedback. I didn’t notice the buzzing when I was editing but watching on my phone I can definitely hear what you’re talking about. I’ll improve on that in my next video.
@@JalilZavala officially yes that is when skeleton crew is supposed to be set. However, the only relating factor is the appearance of the character Vane, the Nikto pirate who was in Mando season 3 as part of Gorian Shard’s gang and is also in Skeleton Crew. But Vane has barely had any screen time in skeleton crew and therefore there is nothing in the show that specifically indicates this takes place after Mando season 3, and as such it does not break the continuity if we say that it takes place before
It’s a combination of negative factors for me. I don’t like the goonies, I hate 80s nostalgia, I despise child centric tv shows, so what does this show offer me? A werewolf and Jude Law? So literally nothing? Mandoverse should’ve been a single show, the longer this weird post ROTJ alt-verse goes meandering on the less it makes sense and the more it contradicts the timeline (How many Jedi survived the purge? All of them?). On top of that they aren’t even telling a compelling story in the mandoverse given that they’re afraid to directly link the shows to the future (the sequels, the first order, snoke) or the past (“several years ago the empire fell”) they already created. Literally no reason to watch a prequel that ignores its own “sequel” and source material. Andor Rogue One and Solo were at least coherent and willing to accept that they transpired within a set timeline of events. By comparison the mandoverse is a playpen sandbox for Filoni and JF to dck around with action figures. It has no story, it has no momentum or direction, it has no past, it has no future. Their big bad villain is an exiled blue bozo clown with less than functional storm troopers even though the empire is gone, the guy from breaking bad with legions of stormtroopers even though the empire is gone, and a sith who isn’t a sith who after giving the only good performance in the show died in real life and whose character is stranded in another galaxy. It has absolutely no stakes moving forward.
@@johnthemachine I get where you’re coming from and I agree with a lot of your points, and I also get frustrated that the Mandoverse doesn’t seem to be heading anywhere. Disney and Lucasfilm went into the sequel trilogy with zero plan as for where the story was going, and it seemed like the first season of the Mandalorian was going to change that. But here we are nearly 6 years later and there doesn’t seem to be any coherence with each of the different shows they keep throwing out. However, I do think it’s salvageable. In a way, the fact that they have just been messing around and haven’t developed the story a whole lot yet is sort of a blessing for the Mandoverse, because it means there is still time to steer it in the right direction. And that’s why I put these videos out, because by trying to piece together a story that the writers themselves seemingly haven’t tried to piece together themselves, then at the very least I can improve the experience for myself and other fans who still want to enjoy Star Wars, and at the very most my ideas could potentially reach someone on the story group at Lucasfilm and make them realise that they need to put more thought into their work. In this age of endless mindless content on streaming platforms ruining franchises we all know and love, the only hope seems to be check out entirely or create your own head canon
