Episode CXXXVIII - Skeleton Crew Episode 3 - Very Interesting, As an Astrogation Problem

We return to Mandalore to investigate some smugglers who are flooding the black markets with *checks notes* poisoned tea? In what feels inspired by a 1950s black and white noir detective mystery, Satine and Padme team up to figure out who is benefitting from the current instability on Mandalore. Ahsoka shows up soon enough and gets to show us just how overpowered even a padawan is compared to normal people.

Now that Skeleton Crew's first season has wrapped up, we can look back on the whole thing and figure out where it fits in the pantheon of live action Star Wars shows. What were our favorite and least favorite episodes, and which episode was improved the most by being able to see the whole story?

The first season's finale is finally here and wow, is it a great one! They manage to both wrap up the story in a meaningful way and leave us with just enough unanswered questions to want more. We really hope to get a season two, but in the meantime let's jump in!BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcastsCHAT SERVER: https://discord.gg/C44PeM5RSf

We have a lot to talk about with the penultimate episode of Skeleton Crew, with some conflicting opinions about how a few of the scenes are handled. In the end, we both agree that we're incredibly excited for the finale next week, and will need to revisit this episode with the information that is revealed in mind.

Bryce Dallas Howard is back to direct another episode of Star Wars TV and as always she delivers! One of the best episodes we have had for character development so far sees the kids split up into different groups than usual to learn lessons in a way that feels both wholesome and earned.

Episode 5 may be the strongest one of the series so far, with it steadily getting better as the story progresses! Let's jump in!BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcastsCHAT SERVER: https://discord.gg/C44PeM5RSf

And we're back with the second part of our Episode 4 discussion after only a small delay! We continue to chat about General Strix's treatment of the kids, and we end with one of the strongest scenes we've had in the series so far both in terms of character development and in terms of pure fun!

We love the introduction to our new locale, and the continuation of the mystery is both satisfying and intriguing. We do focus some of the discussion around a new conflict that deals (or doesn't deal) with some surprisingly dark themes. Is the general they meet a true villain, or a morally gray character? Let's jump in!Editor's Note - I'm trying a different style of editing to improve the flow of the episodes, but it takes me around twice as long to edit the episodes. In order to still get an episode out this morning I had to split this one into two parts. Please let me know if you think the quality is improved enough that the extra effort is worth it!BECOME A PATRON: https://www.patreon.com/massivebreakdownpodcastsCHAT SERVER: https://discord.gg/C44PeM5RSf

Back again for our third episode in less than seven days, this time with some slightly differing opinions on how the show has progressed. While Merc finds the episode to be one of the best Star Wars live action episodes he's seen, Kutch is a bit less impressed. There's even a debate on whether or not Kh'ymm looks too much like an owl from Harry Potter.

We continue our analysis of Skeleton Crew with the much shorter episode two. While Mercules takes issue with the characterization of Wim as "suicidally naive", Kutch appreciates the incredible worldbuilding that went into Borgo as a new location and the introduction of our "Jedi".
