In my\u00a0review of\u00a0Skeleton Crew<\/em>\u00a0episode 4, as well as episode 3, I remarked that the show seemed to be spinning its wheels ever so slightly in the search for At Attin. Although this did not hinder my enjoyment of the show due to how strong the characters and overall tone of\u00a0Skeleton Crew<\/em>\u00a0are, I was hoping that episode 5 would pick up the pace somewhat in regard to the central journey. Thankfully,\u00a0Skeleton Crew<\/em>\u00a0episode 5 provided exactly that, making for the show’s best episode yet.<\/p>\n

Skeleton Crew Episode 5 Progressed The Story In Several Key Ways<\/h2>\n

Characters Were Developed, Coordinates Were Found, & Villains Were Defeated<\/h3>\n

Skeleton Crew<\/em>\u00a0episode 5 benefitted massively from its fast-paced story. SM-33 quickly remembered the location of the lair of his former master, Captain Tak Rennod, leading the kids to a fascinating spa planet named Lanupa. This led to a treasure-hunting journey of the highest order as the characters navigated booby traps and pirates to find a vault that would lead them to At Attin. This journey perfectly captured what works so well about\u00a0Skeleton Crew<\/em>‘s story and tone.<\/p>\n

The development that At Attin is fabled for owning a “mint” that produces credits on a mass scale is also interesting, leading Jude Law’s Jod to take a darker turn. The episode ends with Jod challenging Fern to the captaincy of the Onyx Cinder, taking on a much more threatening nature now that he knows the true nature of\u00a0Skeleton Crew<\/em>‘s At Attin. As the episode ends, the crew is separated, Jod is captain with a new lightsaber, the key to At Attin is obtained, the show’s pirate pursuers are mostly defeated, and\u00a0Skeleton Crew<\/em>‘s story is left in an intriguing spot going into the final three episodes.<\/p>\n

Skeleton Crew Episode 5 Proves That The Show Gets Star Wars<\/h2>\n

What became clear to me in\u00a0Skeleton Crew<\/em>\u00a0episode 5 is how much the show gets\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>. I have made it no secret in earlier reviews that I thought this, but episode 5 truly drove it home. The show’s upbeat tone, lovable characters, arcs, and sense of childlike wonder are the values George Lucas envisioned for the franchise back in the 70s.\u00a0Skeleton Crew\u00a0<\/em>episode 5 continues all of these elements as well as developing the plot significantly while piling on other elements that make it a perfect encapsulation of\u00a0Star Wars<\/em><\/p>\n

The appearance of Hutt characters, Muun aliens, and the excellently designed benevolent character Cthallops are excellent\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0Easter eggs to the wider franchise. Then there is the further exploration of the pirates, be it Jod or the villainous Tak Rennod, adding more to an underexplored section of the franchise. Finally,\u00a0Skeleton Crew<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0adds more to the exploration of the Force via connections to Qui-Gon Jinn and the inclusion of a lightsaber, rounding out the show’s best installment yet.<\/p>\n
