I'm guessing the people of At Atin know about the fall of the Old Republic, the Empire's rise and fall and the New Republic. But in general, not to deep terms. Think about what your average 10 and unders know about WW2 and The Holocaust? The adults of At Atin want their kids to grow up into compliant, untroubled workers. Not people concerned about the wrongs of the universe.
@@AmazingChi The High Republic is a marketing concept, there is no in universe event that distinguishes the High Republic from the Old Republic other than time has passed. So the political entity is simply "The Republic", even if there may be a historic distinction of eras. Still, people who missed the Empire would not consider a difference between New Republic and High Republic sensible, they simply live in the Galactic Republic. In a similar vein the Romans did not distinguish between the Roman Republic, empire, tertrachy etc., to a Roman citizen in late antiquity they would still simply live in the Roman empire/ or even republic since the institutions never went away. Even the early middle ages has barbarian emperors in pretty much a distinct political entity still claim continuity with the Roman empire and be THE one and only empire.
I feel in general that murderbots - and let's be honest, the way SM-33 sort of Hulks out and gets taller, improves it's posture and gets longer limbs when it's about to go a-murderin', he's a murderbot - are probably better off with an exposed off switch.
"Your focus determines your reality". Now this is totally a Jedi saying, coupled with the whole talk about attachments that Jod was explaining to Wim and i would be really surprised if Jod doesn't end up being a Order 66 survivor. Someone who decided to go the oposite way of his old teachings to survive the Empire and in doing so has fallen so low. They are not even hiding the Force sounds anymore when he uses telekinesis . 😁 And the betrayal of Fern and the other kids was such a dramatic moment and that cliffhanger. Best episode of the series so far.
The lightsaber bit takes me back to the first Mad magazine parody of Star Wars (I saw the first movie in theaters! Yeah, I'm THAT old) back in 1978. In that one, Ben hands Luke his father's lightsaber for the first time. Excitedly, he turns it on...and impales Ben through the torso cuz he didn't notice where it was pointing!😂
THIS film is definitely Treasure Island in the Star Wars Universe! Cuz Jod 's main alter ego, Captain Silvo is a Long John Silver trope and like Silver, he's a chaotic rogue who has the ability to charm and persuade everybody(especially children). Until they learn the hard way he can't be trusted to not act in his own interest.and He may turn to the light in the end but it will only be after the dark turns on him!
About 40 years ago all us 5th grade kids got letters from school about supplies we needed to get. All the parents were head scratching. "What's a duotang folder?"
gotta agree with you - I'm really enjoying this show, much more than I thought I would. It's just so much FUN! Loved this episode, and can't wait to see what happens next.
The Hutt was using the little guy for a scrub. We saw the Hutts doing this in The Book of Boba Fett. And the parents were trying to contact their kids. Anyway, fun reaction, fun show and I like that the dare to sometimes go a bit dark, with the murder and the spikes, and the acid (I assume most got back up the stairs in time).
You seem confused about who they want to contact. The want to call the Republic as in old Republic. They have no knowledge of the Empire, the war, or New Republic.
episode 4 was okay, but felt a bit filler. episode 5 went all up to 11 again, and Skeleton Crew is rushing towards the Disney Star Wars Hall of Fame. I really hope they can keep getting it right for other series, and also keep doing newer things in the universe. This show only proves that you can create gold without actually focusing on cameos and known characters, and tell different stories that aren't really about the usual types of characters of rebel, smuggler, bounty hunter, jedi and politician we get in all other shows. yes, there are some background on Jude's character(how many names does he have? i don't know how to call him) in that, but it's not the focus. weirdly enough, i would like a show on a big city planet about a young thief, or maybe a yakuza-like mafia. so many possibilities
I'm guessing that bath attendant got spat out, puked out or pooped out before!😝😟🤕 Big creatures swallowing little creatures! Classic Star Wars/Henson trope!😵
Jod may be spitting scuffed facts, but they are still Jedi facts... just from a grittier perspective. Does he have this from direct experience as a CW and O66 survivor, or was he like a dark Ezra Bridger, whose near or ex-Jedi mentor failed, rejected, or corrupted him as he found refuge from The Inquisition in the dark belly of the SW underworld. There are so many furnishings here pulled DIRECTLY from the SWTOR Strongholds furnishings, and even the sunken acid pool entry to the Pirate Captain's lair looks just like the Nar Shadda Stronghold Garage extension. Cthulian horrors need a spa day too!! The Goonies representation remains strong with this one.... fill out the checklist thusly: Trap-filled labyrinth of death? ✅️ Secret Lair Puzzles? ✅️ Cryptic messages with hidden clues? ✅️ The betrayal by challenging Fern is fully template drawn in this Treasure Planet tale with a Star Wars skin... there was never any doubt that was a story beat they would commit to.😁 TBF, Wim had a 50-50 chance to get that right, but tales of Jedi in his datapad didn't come with detailed safety diagrams. Boy is lucky to only lose his fragile pride, mishandling a lightsabre. 🤔
I had a thought as Nerdy said maybe Rennod actually succeeded. Nerdy is right! Captain Rennod did find At Attin and took it over as...The Supervisor. A peaceful planet that is already mysterious under the Great Work could allow a ruthless sneaky pirate to get into the logistics in some way and start to siphon off credits. Then with the civil war, At Attin becomes cut off in all the confusion and so Rennod moves into the Supervisor position by hook or by crook and now with no proper governmental backing is able to fully mask the planet from the galaxy and the New Republic is in no state to actually make sure all the previous Republic assets are accounted for, especially not an actually state secret. The continued obfuscation is not from the New Republic, the Empire, nor Sith, it is Rennod keeping up the secrecy as he mints infinite wealth.
The guard saying "...of Scipio" was a reference to the planet of the Banking clan (decidedly not humans...there was a glimpse of them in the mud baths). Took me 1.5 seconds to get "Duotang." Interesting that they're called by a specific brand name in Canada (do you also call all facial tissues "Kleenex" as we do in the US?). No matter how honorable Jod's intentions may be, he _does_ need direct control of SM-33...and not have to debate Fern on every tough decision that might be necessary to get them all out alive. Remember how Djinn was not able to merely hand the Black Saber to Bo-Katan? I think Jod's combat challenge for the captaincy (meaning, control of SM-33) was done in a way to convince SM-33 that it was a genuine "trial by combat." But he also had to do it that way because he'd never have convinced Fern to voluntarily give him control of SM-33.
Go watch some Looney Tunes from the 40's. It was multilayered. Tons of stuff for the kids but tons of jokes only adults would get. This show walks that same line, which is brilliant.
Remember, though, that those were created before television (and particularly children's programming) was a thing. They were shown in movie theaters as shorts before movies like Casablanca.
I love the moment where the show has its moment like Mrs Incredible in the first Incredibles movie; "These guys are not like the bad guys in your cartoons." heartbreaking.
…orrrr, since his species looks clam-based, it’s possible however unlikely they can survive being eaten by a toothless Hutt. Given his relatively calm demeanour, he doesn’t seem in peril. Which means two things: 1. “Again” probably refers to his own experiences. 2. He got pooped out (or regurgitated) by a Hutt.
Coworker and I used to talk gibberish to each other when newbies were around to mess with them. We had one convinced we using some weird language for most of a day. Truth was, we'd worked together long enough to just know what was meant. This show is meant for adult Star Wars fans to watch with the Younglings. I think Jod was an Order 66 survivor, but was never a Youngling or Padawan. He was found as an older kid, a bokkum like Ezra, and only got trained until the Jedi that was training him was killed or worse.
Jod was old enough to be a padawan about the age of Kanan Jarrus (of "Rebels"). But I think he was snagged after Order 66 by pirates and only held on to the Jedi maxims that aided him in the pirate environment.
3 episodes left for the kids to escape a planet that doesn’t allow children on it seems almost impossible to do but the first five episodes have had plenty of surprises so who knows? Can’t wait to find out!
How can this show and Andor be so much better than so much of the other Star Wars stuff? Like every character has *energy*, the scenes are blocked competently, the characters aren’t being stupid for plot sake (even the children have basic intelligence), and everyone has understandable motivations. It just shows that someone needs to continue to keep Filoni away from as many writing rooms as possible Unlike every Filoni show, there hasn’t been a moment yet where I’ve yelled at the screen “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!”
When it comes to Life-Action shows, I do agree that Filoni's quality under Disney wasn't really good until now... ... but I think many people are forgetting that Rebels and S7 of Clone Wars are also Filoni Projects under Disney and while there obviously are some strange decisions characters make in Rebels I overall that show is pretty consistent in tone and character development as well
@ he was the showrunner on those, but I don’t think he was the primary script writer. The same situation with ATLA: he was part of a writing team. I think his writing skills (and directing live action if we’re being honest) are…not great. The same is true of Lucas so maybe he’s just trying to fully embody the spirit of his mentor 🤷🏻♂️
@@deanthemachine8879 directing from all I have seen so far I do agree with you. I personally don't know, given that Rebels was started by the team he was part of for years (the StarWars Animation Team), I really can't see him having no input into Rebels. I even remember that there are interviews of him about the process of creating Rebels + him playing jokes with the community after the end of S2 if Ahsoka is still alive or not. In other words, as far as I know he was part of Storyboarding Rebels. How deep this got I don't know. For example I think he didn't actually write the final script (that was never really his focus). From what I can tell he works best if he helps with concepting the general direction of the story and letting others create the actual product
@ and I think that lines up very well with Lucas too. Give him a team of people to collaborate with like a Steven Spielberg, Marcia Lucas, or a Lawrence Kasdan and you get *gold*. Filoni and Lucas are big picture creators, but not necessarily great writers
Kinda refreshing to have a young character discover a lightsaber and….fail with it Disney’s 2024 hit on X-men 97, Agatha All Along and Skeleton Crew. What If S3 has been solid
It is wierd, everyone is so hyped about Andor, although I liked it, I don't see what the fuzz is about. I needed 2 attempts to get through it. I love this show, directors/producers are consistantly making the right choices.
It's because Disney actually put effort into Andor, I mean, the show cost more then Rise of skywalker, but not just the budget, you have well written dialogue, character development, setting, environment and engaging story arcs, it doesn't feel cheap like Kenobi nor silly, it's just a well made show.
@@P0sitive_vibes_0nly 🤣 Low bar to clear. But to be honest, I liked Mandalorian for the most part and I also liked Ahsoka. Boba Fet was a good concept, purly executed and I also liked the basic concept behindert Acolyte, to show other kinds of force users- again very badly executed, unfortunately. Obi Wan was just unnecessary, I imediatly forget almosen everithing about it.
I don't get why Jod is seen as the bad guy. They are flying around in a dangerous galaxy, chased by pirates, and have bounties on their heads - and the person in charge is a 12-year-old girl from a sheltered suburban life who's never been to space before. Of course the experienced former starship captain should take over, it's what any responsible adult would do in that situation.
@michaelprovenza7575 Sometimes, as an adult, you have to take drastic measures for everyone's benefit. She was given the chance to surrender peacefully, but refused. There was no time to discuss it, seeing how they were all being chased and in mortal danger.
That's exactly how I see it. Look at how the kids were behaving throughout the episode - he couldn't get them to focus or even understand how much trouble they were in! And in the last episode, they walked into an obviously dangerous situation - he had no power to stop them - and he had to rescue them twice. Fern argues EVERYTHING, and she has control over their strongest asset (SM 33). He doesn't have time to debate this - a debate you really don't think he would win, do you? The ONLY way SM 33 obeys him, and not Fern, is if he replaces her as captain. Which is probably better than just trying to destroy SM 33, desert the kids and steal the ship. And he didn't even pull out the knife until she took a swing at him. Forget for a moment that it's Jod and we've been expecting him to betray them all along. What if it was Obi-wan Kenobi? "You've got to trust me and let me be Captain?" I'm not sure if SM 33 would've recognized that form of transfer, even in the unlikely possibility that Fern went along with it. Heck, **SPOILER REDACTED** after Kenodi asked her to trust him. Maybe this was a betrayal, but I'm keeping my mind open.
Clarus was right. "What is the sky, if not the ground?" Perfect.
Instead of "You'll shoot your EYE out Kid" for Christmas we get "You'll Cut your Foot OFF Wym!"
2:41 contact the Republic. They appear to not know the New Republic exists, because their kids didn't know Alderaan had been destroyed.
The High* Republic, based on the Great Work comments. (Can't remember if people in the High Republic still just call it The Republic then, though?)
@AmazingChi Kh'ymm's map and information was from The Old Republic, not the High Republic.
@@bryansmith5727 Anything that isn't the New Republic is the Old Republic to them. The Great Work is specific to the High Republic era, though.
I'm guessing the people of At Atin know about the fall of the Old Republic, the Empire's rise and fall and the New Republic. But in general, not to deep terms.

“What is the sky if not the ground?” should go in the Clarus Polaris book of quotes
A question for the philosophers….😂 I loved that too
It's so nice to see Nerdy enjoying something
I remember him enjoying things
This is what I watch the channel for
Yeah and this show didn't have to feature a hot guy taking his clothes off (The Acolyte and Wheel of Time) for him to enjoy it!
The couple that laughs at a lightsabre being activated the wrong way together, stays together.
You guys recognise her as Merida, I recognise her as the schoolie Renton pumped in Trainspotting. Different lives led, I guess.
Yeah me too, made me feel old. Still recognized her from her voice though :)
Trainspotting, which also starred Ewan McGregor.
@@michaelprovenza7575 "Oh, Kelly Macdonald!" was my response. Instant recognition from voice alone too
@@AmazingChi100%
I still have a celebrity crush on her. She’s the reason I kinda hate No Country For Old Men. IYKYK.
that ingition of a lightsaber was perfect.
This show really is great!
I have a feeling that the supervisor will turn out to be SM-33’s old captain who has quietly taken over At Attin.
14:10 lol great HP reference
17:43 your laughter was great
Fun episode. Enjoyed the reaction
"Your focus determines your reality".

Best episode of the series so far.
Duotang…
…I am sooo glad that both of my kids are now aged out of the “need 75 different coloured duotangs” school years. Haha!

10:51 Do you think we see a light saber in this show? We have to. “Foreshadowing” And the light saber reveal was amazing!
THIS film is definitely Treasure Island in the Star Wars Universe!

It’s just good innocent fun. I hate that people call it a kids show because it doesn’t have cuss words, pointless violence and sex.
12:20 Subtitles give the big guy's name as "Cthallops". Now does the design ring any bells? ;)
Oh don't know why, but the "Oh no, please no sir, not again..." guy I imagined as a Matt Mercer CritRole NPC.

All things considered, you guys laughed a little TOO HARD at poor Wim igniting the lightsaber incorrectly. 😆
Great reaction, great episode.
I am loving this series so much
And our "pirate" (whatever his name is) absolutely trained as a Padawan
Might even be a youngling, not old enough to be a padawan. But semantics put aside, I believe you are correct.
@davidbergfors6820 very fair point

I wonder if Jod was taken right at the beginning of his Jedi training and raised by pirates kinda like Yondu took Quill. 🤔
I'm guessing that bath attendant got spat out, puked out or pooped out before!😝😟🤕
Big creatures swallowing little creatures! Classic Star Wars/Henson trope!😵
Jod may be spitting scuffed facts, but they are still Jedi facts... just from a grittier perspective. Does he have this from direct experience as a CW and O66 survivor, or was he like a dark Ezra Bridger, whose near or ex-Jedi mentor failed, rejected, or corrupted him as he found refuge from The Inquisition in the dark belly of the SW underworld.
There are so many furnishings here pulled DIRECTLY from the SWTOR Strongholds furnishings, and even the sunken acid pool entry to the Pirate Captain's lair looks just like the Nar Shadda Stronghold Garage extension.

Nope. Rennod is dead. SM-33 said as much. His skeleton was the one with the knife in it.

The pirates MAY not have got killed by the acid. They probably tried going back up the stairs.
the actors is in his 50s he was probably around anakins age during order 66
I believe "not again" means he had eaten another attendant in the past not the same attendant.
Or he likes to roll them around in his mouth a bit before spitting him out.

I suspect Jod was going to hold them for ransom when he got to Ad Attin, of course he could always get SM33 to put them out the airlock...
Duotang nation!
Oh no, not language kids don't need to hear. What a travesty.
I hate when reactors spoil shit int heir thumbnails its like beyond annoying.
