Skeleton Crew's finale delivered on most of the answers we wanted and needed to wrap up the season. There's more stories to tell for kids in the galaxy far, far away, but it might not make sense to go back to At-Attin.

Reviews from friends of the show have been mixed. Some say it's too much for kids and some say it's too "made for kids" for it to be entertaining for adults. Some have said it's confusing because there isn't enough ties to the original trilogy. Some have wondered what time periods are being referenced and others just don't care for the story. No one has hated it.

That goes for our guest reviewer, who takes the podcast mic over in this episode to give an honest review of "The Real Good Guys" without any questions or prompts. It might be time to build the padawan a lightsaber.

Skeleton Crew coverage may be coming to an end, but there's the monthly news updates, Andor in the spring, and Star Wars Podcast Day 2025 on February 7th. We hope you'll keep coming back for more Star Wars podcasting. This is the Way!

The host has a cold and Jod get his gold. "We're Gonna Be in So Much Trouble" delivers a wonderful penultimate episode to Skeleton Crew's first (and only?) season by delivering answers and leaving some important ones for the finale. What made Jod the detestable pirate he is? How did he learn how to properly wield his powers? What's his real name? The kids have been reunited with the parents, but that might be dangerous. We hear the Supervisor's voice and know the actor well, but what exactly is the story behind that office? What really happened to Tak Rennod? Is SM-33 done for? What's the deal with the creature in his head? It looks like a rat with spider eyes and sounds like a monkey crossed with a parrot when it squeaks. Why are there thousands of vaults on At Attin and who are they really producing the money for? Is Neel's dad the strongest parent of the "core four" or do you think Wendle could take him? Episode 7 is well crafted and should be award nomination material across the board. If what's being said about the show's rating is true, it's certainly not because of the quality it displays. The blame certainly lies with past disappointments that shall remain nameless here. If the show doesn't pick up with word of mouth viewing, then Star Wars may truly be lost. There's just one episode left and one last chance to write in before the finale streams for the first time on the evening of January 14th, 2025. This is episode 177 of This is the Way Podcast and its the recap and discussion of S1E7 of Skeleton Crew. The reaction and review episode was the last release, episode 176. You can still send in theories, but the next time they'll make it into the podcast will be after the last episode is available.

Skeleton Crew's seventh episode answered some big questions and left the "core four" in a precarious place to start the finale. Jod has probably run out of time to make his case for being a good guy at heart, but we're still hoping that's not totally his fault. The biggest theft of the show might be leaving fans without a glimpse of what made him the "mad" pirate he shows himself to be.

Not everyone loves the show and some have said that the show is TOO much for kids, but I don't see it. Sure, it has kid actors and that can turn off some people, but not many "kid shows" will have a main character shoot a defenseless alien at point blank range. We're still waiting for the thank you from Jod for that loading arm grab.

One episode remains and that's not leaving much time to wrap up every single story. It also doesn't leave that much time to theorize along with the show!
