You are over-thinking it....most likely the show, in which Hondo's crew features more in, is more or less intended for kids, thus they can'treally get too hard core....ironically, Skellington Crew is supposedly the first SW D+ "kids" show, but somehow featured straight up murder and a whore house in the first few episodes!...let's face it...the only "kids" watching are grown-ass adults........Incidentally, the same "bloodthirsty" bilge rats have managed to get outsmarted by kids from a suburb far, far away for the last 7 episodes....and odds are they will somehow manage to cripple Jod's crew without any assistance from the New Republic's 2 X-Wing Squadron!

I guess I do not know much about Hondo, personally, I associate him with Smuggler's Run....still I can only assume someone doesn't become a crime boss by being a nice guy...unless you are Boba Fett! I see Hondo as the kind of crime boss that would never get his hands "dirty"....that's what his crew is for......and speaking of Boba, still can't forget his nefarious cyborg space vespa riding crew! Nothing elicits terror or commands respect like cyborgs on shiny space vespas!
-
LOL....of all the things to complain about...you hone in on the one thing that Hondo's inclusion would have brought up again front and center...which is Star Wars' incessant desire to keep a vast galaxy as small as possible....it's bad enough that we keep seeing the same half dozen aliens in practically every show....sometime in each episode!....yeah....not seeing Hondo in this latest stinker was probably one of the few good decisions about it....
-
I see what you did there....
-
Pirate Wolfie had no chance of survival from the moment he first appeared on screen as the main "bad guy"...he follows a long line of "cool-looking" bad guys that end up dying dumb deaths.....Boba Fett, Captain Phasma, all of the Knights of Ren....LOL.........maybe he'll somehow show up at the last second and kill Evil Jack Sparrow.....maybe he's more cat than dog and has nine lives!

Sooner, I'd worry about the M&M Arcade 1A's and GBP set....who knows how much longer those may have been pushed back to make good on the Kickstarter items.... -
Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
jvmacross replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
good sign I guess.....much too early to panic, at least for the Kickstarter lot... -
Weird?.....Are you watching the same "fantasy space opera"? As I metioned earlier...the last 'adult' force user who threatened children with death...and actually carried it out!....was redeemed, so nothing weird about redemption for mass murderers in a galaxy far, far away....
-
yeah, I think I'd give more factual weight to the data from Nielsen

Kitz Concept Toy Thread 2.0
jvmacross replied to Stampeed Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The Max fig was the next up....was set for Dec 2024, but KC hasn't met release dates in quite a while....I will wait until end of January until I feel I need to reach out to them for an update.... -
Yeah...been saying this on previous posts....they must have some rock bottom ROI figure that they use to determine if a show was "good enough" financially...the advertisers must also have their criteria for wether or not to toss ad dollars to a show....the less eyes on a show, the lowrr the ad revenues....so so that is another thing to follow...D+'s ad revenues....if the go lower it means no one is watching...no matter how "good" some may think a show is....sadly, everything I have seen seems to indicate that the viewership numbers for Pirates of the Outer Rim are unfortunately lower than The Acolyte....a certified stinker and proven loser straight from D+'s bean counters!
-
Realy?....have a link where this show has been "consistently" in the top 10? Everything I read seems to say it was at the 15th spot at best....
-
https://www.jeditemplearchives.com/2025-01-10-the-new-streaming-charts-for-skeleton-crew/ https://thatparkplace.com/skeleton-crew-star-wars-lowest-ratings/ I guess if D+ "non-ad" subscriptions are a significant majority....maybe? We still cannot say that the show will not tie "somehow" into the Mandoverse or ST....patience padawans!
-
Cut and paste storytelling for sure...still, it seems like many are satisfied with this latest ultra derivative D+SW show similar to how sometimes it is more about the road trip than the actual destination....these shows excel at this....just a series of "cool stuff" happening before getting to the end....
-
What's with secret maps and hidden planets in Star Wars?....D+ Star Wars has hit rock bottom when they have resorted to ripping off concepts from their much trashed Sequel Trilogy.... Secret maps were used in TFA and again in TROS....hidden planets were a specialty of the Sith up until Pirates of the Outer Rim....again, no idea if these concepts had already been lifted from the EU....
-
Well....may as well go all-out slapstick comedy at this point then....but has there been any D+ Star Wars show so far that did not have delusions of grandeur for a second season? Disney probably wants their Stranger Things too!
-
And after all the fake mysteries....we are presented with one final mystery.....what do the idiots on At Attic get privy to once they "graduate"? What can possibly be that interesting to take a chance by even adding one final mystery at the 11th hour?...the payoff has to be pretty big, right? As Grand Moff Tarkin would say....D+ is taking an awful risk...
-
So you want this to degrade into Space Home Alone? I mean...sure....why not, Disney owns that IP too, so may as well pillage it dry!
-
It's like Luke Skywalker (Force user) and Han Solo (scoundrel) had a baby! Surprised they didn't come up with this type of character before....but then again, I have no idea if such a Jedi Scoundrel exists in the EU....
-
Kind of annoying, actually.... How, as Jod says, "...weak, sheltered, and spoiled..." kids have been able to evade and outsmart a crew of vicious Space Pirates....but I guess that gets a pass by folks looking for something that is slightly better that the worst D+ Star Wars has to offer.... And speaking of weak, sheltered, and spoiled kids....sure sounds like something a disillusioned former "weak, sheltered, and spoiled" padawan might say....guess we'll find out next week...
-
There are more than enough force users of questionable repute walking around during this era.....anything can happen....as long as it leads to TROS! LOL
-
They really leaned hard on the ROTS references on this latest episode.....Last time we saw a grown ass force user threaten "younglings"....things didn't end well for either.... Guessing another flashback showing Jack Sparrow narrowly escaping Order 66....wonder if they'll toss in another fanservice nod by showing us a somewhat familiar Jedi as his master....like they did when they showed Grogu's rescue from Order 66....

Nice....
