The Verge Review: "Skeleton Crew is a kid-friendly reminder of who Star Wars is for" - Lemmy.World

The first two episodes were very watchable. Looking forward to where this one goes.

Well, I really enjoyed the first two episodes. It definitely has that Spielberg/Goonies vibe, but My wife and I are really enjoying it. I’m still not entirely sold on the fact that the Star Wars universe has suburbs, doesn’t feel quite right to me.

On the other hand, I remain amused to no end that the Star Wars universe is such a rundown hellhole that their idealized paradise of eternal treasure and prosperity is… a mid-century modern house with a white picket fence at the end of a cul-de-sac, and a stable 9-5 accounting job with a decent dental plan.

Frankly, that’s looking like paradise to most of us at this point. The kvetching of Gen X staring at an IKEA catalogue has become a dystopian dream for Millennials on up.
Id make a joke about the Stormtroopers’ aim if this wasn’t a frighteningly agreeable statement.
