Skeleton Crew Season 1, Episode 6: Zero Friends Again

“Zero Friends Again” was such a delightful exemplar of both Skeleton Crew and Star Wars that we spent about 15 minutes singing Bryce Dallas Howard’s praises. Then we get into the REALLY good stuff: the shapes and structures of Star Wars stories, disability in Star Wars, and community-building. (Mega points to our kiddos for building community amongst themselves, and zero points for Jod Na Nawood’s community-building among pirate thieves because we’re still very upset with him.)

As our various protagonists begin to finally start closing in on At Attin, the danger is escalating. Next episode, we’ll see if the kids have learned enough lessons to save their planet from being raided—or worse.

PS: We have a big crossroads in front of us. Should we watch Andor S2 with the rest of the world? Or go on to watch Mando S2 as planned? Weigh in!
