Star Wars Skeleton Crew is just openly “Goonies in Space,” right?

Comments

Hell yeah it is! And if we get another season, I’m hoping they pull from more 80s classics, maybe even stuff that’s a little more teen-skewing since that’s the age the kids will be when and if we get round to it

jgf-100.bsky.social•17 days ago

basically

stratago.bsky.social•17 days ago

I'd say "Explorers", but yeah.

smsaideman.bsky.social•17 days ago

pretty much

joshuafoust.com•17 days ago

It has a neat alien dog villain

smsaideman.bsky.social•17 days ago

It has the best errant use of a light saber.

frankrmorrison.bsky.social•17 days ago

It’s that, plus Star Wars, plus fallout. And it’s so much fun! I really hope they get another season.

just without Chunk.

robbthedad.bsky.social•17 days ago

No. Goonies had kids I didn’t want to see fail.

randallkopchak.bsky.social•17 days ago

Not entirely. Sometimes it's "Indiana Jones in Space".

billwendel.bsky.social•16 days ago

I'm not sure why "just" is in that sentence.

cricket1521.bsky.social•17 days ago

It’s like Expedition Unknown, but with children.

calizaybak.bsky.social•17 days ago

Yup, and it's a ton of fun.

joshuafoust.com•17 days ago

They even had the water slide moment where they come out of different pipes. It’s a bit on the nose but yeah lots of fun

calizaybak.bsky.social•17 days ago

I suspect if I watched Goonies and then SC again all sorts of nods, references and easter eggs would present themselves.

crimsondynamo4.bsky.social•17 days ago

With a side order of Treasure Island, yeah.

alecw81.bsky.social•16 days ago

*Treasure Planet

Jude Law's character is 100% Long Jon Silver.

Or rather Long Jod Silvo.

vthemaid.bsky.social•17 days ago

basically 💯

critterfur.bsky.social•17 days ago

Like the original Star Wars is Kurosawa in space

sundoggy.bsky.social•17 days ago

Actually, Explores set in Star Wars.

miss-naani.bsky.social•17 days ago

Just finished it today and yes and no. It's got more screen time to develop things and actual pirates instead of just dead ones. Very fun watch!

It also took me way too long to realize SM-33 is just Smee and I love his voice 😆

lukebro92.bsky.social•17 days ago

Aye!

joshuafoust.com•17 days ago

Anyway, Star Wars has a real thing for child soldiers and little kids being party to gruesome murders.

thetrexy.bsky.social•16 days ago

I feel like it's more like Peter Pan.
