On Skeleton Crew, Neel Wants Star Peace, Not Star Wars

After three parts a Star Wars: Skeleton Crewit is clear who is at fault. I’m Neel, a beautiful blue elephant with precious hair it’s an aw-shucks charm. And, like clockwork, it was time to put someone front and center in the fourth quarter. It’s the best, full-on, mind-blowing episode it’s ever produced Star Wars history.

The fourth paragraph of Skeleton Crewcalled “Can’t Say I Remember No At Attin,” was produced Star Wars it’s the second time the Oscar-winning director has contributed to the film Star Wars. The first honor went to Ron Howard Individually and now, Mr. Daniels, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinertwho made it Everything everywhere Instantlycontributed to this part of the Skeleton Crew. So, I think, this is the first time that Oscar-winning directors have done it Star Wars The Disney+ show. And, as expected, he crushed it, with a cool, cool episode that had everything.

The episode saw the crew travel to the world of Achrann, which looks like their home world of At Attin, only older and more dusty. It seems that Kh’ymm was close, but little in number (or rather ““Old Republic Jewelry” all seem to have been followed by similar constructions and similar pronunciations). When the crew goes out to investigate they come across the Troik, one of the two warring factions in the world. He is led by General Strix (played by Mathieu Kassovitz, familiar to moviegoers as a romantic interest Amelia) and her daughter Hayna (Hala Finley from Netflix We Can Be Warriors). The Troik are at war with the Hattans who, recently, have stolen their epies (most recently seen taking offense at a podrace on Tatooine, or in Obi-Wan Kenobi).

Troik treats the children like adults, so the General wants to train the military personnel. But Neel doesn’t have it. While Wim, Fern, and KB go and shoot the statues, Neel plays the pacifist, which catches Hayna’s attention. The two quickly form a friendship as Neel questions why his people needed to fight in the first place and if he ever thought about when, or how, it would end. Neel said: “If it were me, I would just apologise. “No more fights.” But maybe that’s because I’m too scared. We know that Hayna’s heart melts at this moment, because ours does too.

Neither He nor Neel can stop the inevitable so Troik goes to fight Hattan, with the Strix forcing the children forward. It’s a very difficult moment, and for a second you think Star Wars they may be putting these children in a dangerous fire. That’s when, out of the blue, comes Jod. It seems that he and 33 paid off Hattan (looking at Wim’s record, very disappointed) and returned the eopies to Troik. A good job allows him to save the children and continue their journey. The journey has now come to a halt.

In order to find their way to Earth, Troik suggests that the crew go to the Fallen Sanctum, a place that may have connections to Attin. Before leaving, Neel asks Hayna if she wants to come with him. He can’t, he says he won’t forget her and gives her a little kiss. Even through the blue skin, you could see Neel blushing. It’s all about teenage romance, but those are the tropes Star Wars They don’t get a chance to play with them, and it’s fun to see here.

In the Fallen Sanctum, the crew finds links to all the ancient planets except one: At Attin. It has been destroyed in some way, and, it is 33 who did it. Meanwhile, his constant repetition of “I can’t say I don’t remember Attin” from the first episode to now, combined with his knowledge of At Achrann, helps us in what happened here. The last 33rd officer was on a treasure hunt in Attin and told him to destroy the nets (and help kill everyone in the group who saw them) to keep the secret. And, we know they got there, because that’s where the train stopped.

Fern counts again, but when he wipes the system that prevents Attin from remembering, 33 shoots. It is said that they are trained to hack anyone who asks for the coordinates of the branch which is when three things happen. One, 33 grows into a much larger, more dangerous droid. Two, Daniels flexes the muscle-directed movement and places the camera on 33 himself, giving us a close-up, third-person, Sam Raimi-esque view of his turmoil. And three, Neel saves his friends by thwarting 33’s attack with a stone, inspired by his time with Hayna. As 33 turns on Neel, Jod must save him by stopping the droid at the last minute. It’s all a little bit too much bravery for Neel, who storms out as his friends celebrate him for saving their lives.

The latest Skeleton Crew he was perfect, fast, Sduring the War journey. There’s wish fulfillment, new characters and new creatures, we get to see and imagine real characters, and a little romance is in the air too. Here I believe we haven’t seen the last of the Troik-especially Hayna, thanks to Neel.
