It's hilarious later in the scene where the trees keep magically switching between California Oaks and pine trees from shot to shot. Such a fun but campy film for Star Wars.

unfortunately the stormtrooper hit happened a few minutes before this so I wasn’t able to screen record it, but I had the misfortune of this whole shebang taking place right next to an imperial garrison, but fortunately in Outlaws you can fight an entire goddam war on a garrison’s front door and they won’t do anything unless your in eyeshot.

Dude had his blaster aimed directly at Han from the moment they started talking, has apparently been a renowned enough Bounty Hunter to be working for Jabba since at least the Clone Wars, but still absolutely kriffs it when he shoots and misses Han so badly he doesn’t even have to move his head.

Its sad how with finn being so sidelined their dynamic was also quite sidelined during the later movies

I know the story is taking place before Dryden Vos’s death at the hands of her, but she basically steps in to take his play after removing him from the board.

It's really hard for me to put into words, but there's just something about these digital landscapes. The simple shapes, the blurry, smeared textures... There's this liminal, strange, eerie feeling to them, like a civilization that disappeared long ago.

Honestly, there's no other universe, not even in video games, that makes me feel this way. I always find myself wanting to revisit these games a few times a year, just to immerse myself in them again. Star Wars Racer, Galaxies, and especially KOTOR, which is easily one of my favorite games of all time.

...is where? Is it in any media that you've seen? She must have made some kind of public statement.

Getting hitched in a month and bought a Home Depot animatronic R2 to be at the reception. Repainted him and modified him to the point he doesn't look like the original animatronic I bought. He looks good in a red bowtie though.

- Star Wars Outlaws

Spoilers for Season 1 below.

A Jack Sparrow Jedi, four lost kids, and an adventure that brings back the wonder of the original Star Wars. That’s Skeleton Crew, and I still don’t think it got the conversation it deserves.

To be clear, nothing touches the original, and I’m not saying Skeleton Crew is that good. I’m saying it feels like it. The first Star Wars was a young man staring at a horizon, sure there had to be something beyond the life he knew. There was an Empire, a Rebellion and a battle station, but we discovered all of it through an adventure: a message, a journey, a rescue. Skeleton Crew brings that feeling back. Four kids leave a world they think they understand, and all they want is to get home. Every discovery makes that harder and the galaxy more interesting.

War belongs in Star Wars. So do exploration, mischief and mystery. The creatures have personality, SM-33 has attitude, and every place feels like people lived there long before our crew showed up.

The heart of it is the kids. Neel’s compassion matters, and when KB’s implants fail, Wim has to listen to her to fix them. Empathy, courage, and ordinary people discovering they can help someone else: those are Star Wars values.

Then there’s the Jack Sparrow Jedi himself, Jod Na Nawood. To the kids he looks like a Jedi. He acts like Jack Sparrow. He’s neither, and that gap is the whole point. Jude Law makes him charming, slippery and impossible to stop watching. His training was brief, his guidance was taken away, and he learned to survive on deception. Never confuse power with wisdom. Half the time, the kids are more Jedi than he is.

Here are the complaints I see most, and why I don’t buy them:

“It’s a kids’ show.” George Lucas called the original Star Wars “a film for 12-year-olds,” and it never talked down to anyone. Neither does this. It gets darker than people expect: betrayal, threats, a lightsaber pointed at the people the kids love.

“The kids are annoying, especially Wim.” Luke whined about power converters at Tosche Station, and he turned out fine. Wim thinks he’s living a Jedi story. Learning what a hero actually is takes him the whole season, and that’s the point.

“It’s just The Goonies in space.” Star Wars itself was stitched together from Flash Gordon serials, Kurosawa and old westerns, then turned into something new. Same here: the bikes are Amblin, but a lost planet still running as if the Old Republic never fell, with a Force-sensitive con man as the kids’ guide, is pure Star Wars.

“Jod isn’t a real Jedi.” Exactly. Jude Law said they “liked the idea that he had no lightsaber training.” A perfect Jedi would have killed the story.

“None of it matters to the saga.” It’s set in the same era as The Mandalorian and digs up a lost piece of the Old Republic. The stakes are personal: four kids trying to get home. A good standalone story with no Skywalkers is what fans kept asking for.

“Nobody watched it.” It had the lowest Nielsen debut of any Star Wars show, true. But “nobody” was 6.3 million US viewers in its first 35 days. Critics gave it 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences 79%. It won 4 Children’s & Family Emmys too, and before anyone laughs at the “children’s” part: the kids who saw Star Wars in 1977 are the reason we’re all still here.

So, should it get a Season 2? Absolutely. Let these kids grow. Their world has opened up, so explore what that means for them, their families and At Attin. Give Jod a future that has to reckon with his past, and if he’s ever redeemed, make his choices carry consequences.

No Season 2 has been announced yet. Jon Watts said “if people want to see more Skeleton Crew, we’d be happy to make more,” and Christopher Ford said “never say never.” Showing them we want more is the part that’s up to us: watch it, finish it, recommend it.

A strange planet, an unreliable guide, a friend in trouble, one decision that takes courage. That’s all a Star Wars adventure needs to begin, and we need more of this.

Did you give it a chance? Does it deserve a Season 2?

May the Force be with us all.

Latest drawing in this series. Episode IV characters. It took 10 hours to draw.

I 3D printe everyone's favourite pod racer!

(I did not model this myself, I had Makerlab's image-to-model software make it from the pictures on wookiepedia) (Not sure if I'm allowed to upload the stol-file)

George tried to warn us…but all anyone wanted was him to get to Vader ASAP so they could see that line of Kenobi’s from ANH brought to life.

I wanted to share some artists whose work I love and wanted to ask of any others that you guys know of!

Art from photo: I met Mr. Dan (Instagram @mrdan1976) at his booth in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, and I was so excited to see such cool Star Wars pieces- Jawas, R2, ADMRIAL ACKBAR?!?! it was awesome

Cliff Wassmann (Instagram @studio_419) does Orange County, CA-specific Star Wars art- ITS SO EPIC I discovered him via the Sawdust Festival in Laguna

Durden (Instagram @durdenart) has a unique style, also discovered him at the Sawdust Festival.

What other artists have done cool Star Wars pieces?

I love all the fantastic animalia from Star Wars but I was wondering, which one is the most "dragonic" from all of them? For now I think that must be Varactyl because is just a gigant lizard.

I love it but wish we have something more draconic, maybe a gigant winged serpent or so. Is there something like that?

It's pretty obvious I think but it's supposed to be a phase 2 clone trooper who's seen some SHIT

I was wondering why there hasn't been any develeper/publisher that has jumped on this opportunity. I get that money is a major issue here in terms of player numbers in regards of RTS games but imagine such a Star Wars game with the option of selecting the different Eras like Old republic etc. and the option to also do spacebattles.

Btw I know theres the old Star Wars Empire at War game but i mean a completeley new one. And I was just curios if anybody else would be interested in such a game?

Just re-watched both Clone Wars & Shadow Lord recently, and I think it's safe to say anytime Maul's in an animated fight? It's always done right. With these two definitely being the highlights if you ask me.

Now both are great in their own respective ways. Obviously, we knew from the start, Maul would never actually defeat either them. Still were pretty epic, especially with Maul's tag teaming with Savage & the Jedi respectively.

With the fight in Mandalore, it felt like someone who was going against someone not only more advanced, but just toying with his opponents. You can tell Sidious is literally having the time of his life- knowing he doesn't get to cut loose like that often and took every second of it.

However, with Vader? It didn't feel like they were going against an opponent, but a litteral force of nature. Like Maul, Devon, and Daki were punching against a hurricane. At least with Sidious it felt like it was just against someone far more advanced, but this? This was something else entirely.

Anyway, what do you guys think about these fights, and which do you prefer? Comment below & let me know.
