'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' exclusive photos reveal Jaleel White and a band of space pirates, as show creators explain a 'resurgence of piracy.'

Did he do that?!?!?!?!?

Also, kinda burying the lede that the Wolfman-mask alien from the ANH Cantina scene will be an actual character.

Please don’t let this suck…

    That’s neat, I hadn’t heard about this show. The trailer looks fun. Is it just me, or does Jaleel look rendered in this shot?

      I agree the trailer looks fun. Goonies in space, plus a Jedi.

      There’s just been a certain cheap and rushed quality to recent Star Wars outings, both in writing and actual production values, that has made them a lot less enjoyable than they could be. I actually kinda liked the Acolyte and hope in particular that we see Manny Jacinto again, but I can’t deny it was mostly just “kinda okay” and definitely seemed to squander its budget on cheap fake beards and fat toy lightsabers.

      A breezy, fun story could handle that campy vibe a little better than ponderous end-of-galaxy stories, though. We need an infusion of charisma, too. I dunno. As always, I’m cautiously optimistic.

        I’m an editor by trade, and weirdly, I think Acolyte’s main problem is editing. When I later heard that the story was supposed to be all about the Sith and was reworked by producers, it clicked. It’s cut like someone doing their best to make a story make sense after cornerstones of that story are removed. I’ve been in that position. It sucks.
