January 15Jan 15 What a great show and a perfect template for what Star Wars should lean into. Loved the pacing; it was focused and avoided the bloat and excess of some of the other Star Wars series.
January 15Jan 15 what was the ship with all the tail lights at the end ? ”’you don’t have to take the assessment anymore” whim smirks. Jedi ship?

New Republic Corellian Corvette. Probably not the Tantive IV since it was a different color. Wim knew a larger world just opened up for his future.
January 15Jan 15 That was great. I wondered why Jod didn't just forcewield Wim into the wall when he turned on the light sabre. I guess he knew he was fucked since the barrier was down and deep down he didn't want to hurt any of them.

Deep down, he’s good, and maybe, in another timeline, he and Fern’s mom get together, and he becomes a good stepdad.

One of the strengths of the show was that it stayed within itself and didn’t go down any of those rabbit holes. There’s a lot to be said for maintaining a sense of wonder and unknown, which was one of the strengths of the OT. Conversely, the prequels were weighed down by trying to answer those questions, and the story suffered. 43 minutes ago, kingkoopa6 said: Deep down, he’s good, and maybe, in another timeline, he and Fern’s mom get together, and he becomes a good stepdad.

January 16Jan 16 Good show, 7/10. Peak Stranger Things is the recent gold standard for this type of show, and this wasn’t that, but I enjoyed it.

I mean.... reminded isnt even the right word... that whole 6th episode was literally a condensed version of every single qction moment in Goonies from the moment they discovered Chester Copperpot to the escape into the Lagoon. we had the laser defense system which only cut off peoples heads, the trapdoor to a pit, a gravity trap door to an upper punji stick, with the bad guys (Fertell's/pirates) chasing them, a puzzle that if not solved would kill them (playing the bones vs feeding money to the acid), a literal pirates treasure room, complete with booby traps (holla Data), including the literal main feast table having a trap if you touched the wrong item on it, and finally the kids sliding down the tubes like the water slide to the lagoon. I loved it.... and yes, the chase in the woods was ET on hoverbikes.

Did he just die on the ship? Loved the Order 66 still being active. So it was Old Republic and then went dark. Did the Emperor not know about it? A droid running an entire planet is amazing and the adults either didn't know or only certain ones knew and kept it a secret because they knew what opening the barrier would mean. Loved it. What a fun show. I think you missed a technical point. Spoiler as for the original captain, 33 said in ep 7 that as they were heading to At Attin, the crew betrayed the old captain and that his consort knifed him, but that the captain got the last laugh because he locked out the controls as they crash landed onto At Attin. as for 2nd question The AI said the last message they got from the "Republic" was that all Jedi were traitors... which was something the Emperor would have sent, especially since the first thing he did after issuing order 66 and surving Windu was to declare the first Galactic Empire. so yeah this is set about 25ish years later. either the Emperor didnt know about this place, or forgot about it dealing with fiendish emperor things.... which does seem weird because the first thing you need to do if you are creating a new government is create new currency to show who is really in charge.
January 17Jan 17 Jod my guy there are over 1000 full vaults, no need to enslave a peoples and complicate your plan. Load up your big ass ship and gtfo. Your other ship is the key and can get you back in if you ever run out.
January 17Jan 17 Exactly that ending made no sense. Fun show and enjoyable watch but the ending was kinda dumb.

He should have loaded up and just bounced. but then the kids prolly plan something to stop him from coming back.
January 17Jan 17 Just make a few trips to the main ship and they’d all be set. Whatever still loved it. Also loved that none of the crew got to even see the loot besides Jod. Edited January 17Jan 17 by Hank_Hill
January 17Jan 17 The only part that seemed kinda dumb to me is that they just left Jod alone in the control tower.
January 17Jan 17 Exactly that ending made no sense. Fun show and enjoyable watch but the ending was kinda dumb. Well the planet was safe, few knew the coordinates, there was little threat among the docile population, and the barrier restricted entrance. It would have been a great place to call home. His pirate crew fucked it up by being violent and blowing shit up scaring and motivating people to action.Sucks that this might not get picked up. Kids now want to binge watch it and watch other Star Wars shows.
January 17Jan 17 Author That's what pirates do. They pillage. The kids were always going to act against Jod to save their world. The reason Jod stayed on the planet was pretty evident. He got gold fever. He literally bathed himself in credits at the end of episode 7. Why would he need to go off world when he could just stay and plunder from unlimited resources. It was the ultimate pirate treasure. He also was being hunted across the galaxy. He could stay on a hidden planet until he grew tired of that. 3 hours ago, Buzzrock said: The only part that seemed kinda dumb to me is that they just left Jod alone in the control tower. That was to setup a possible season 2 or allow Jod to return in some other Star Wars property.

January 19Jan 19 This show obviously isn't for me. I was cheering for the pirates and for the kids to get serious beatings, then get sold into slavery on a mining planet.
January 21Jan 21 Finished it, it was fun. They nailed Jude Law as real scoundrel pirate.The ending was a little wobbly but compared to the acolyte, it was sooo much better.Now time for Andor s2
May 16May 16 Author This is pretty cool. Fern is being cast as the new slayer in the Buffy sequel series with Sarah Michelle Gellar. https://deadline.com/2025/05/buffy-reboot-ryan-kiera-armstrong-new-slayer-1236398811/
May 27May 27 Just watched this all day yesterday...really enjoyed it. Nailed the Pirate Jude Law, didn't make him likable or understanding in the end. He was just not a good guy and I liked that.
