Buckle up, skeleton crew Dear fans, things are about to get tough.
After Episode 3 (“Very Interesting as an Astrological Problem”) premiered on Disney+ on Tuesday night, Jod na Nawood (jude law) may not be as believable as initially believed, but the show's co-creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford say things only get more gnarly for the four young protagonists lost in space. states.
“The kids are definitely going to get into more and more trouble as the season goes on,” Watts joked while chatting with The Decider about the Star Wars series.
In the latest episode, Fern (Ryan Keira Armstrong), KB (Killiana Clutter), Neil (Robert Timothy Smith) and Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers) are rescued by Law's character. He may or may not be a Jedi, but he's definitely not a Jedi. He doesn't want us to know if he has a goal of returning to their planet Attin, but the problem here is that it's their home, which is called “The Jewel” in this episode. is. As you know, the Old Republic seems to have been erased from the map, which makes it very difficult for anyone, especially children, to understand how to properly navigate the galaxy. We believe in re-establishing Star Wars as a nostalgic, family-friendly franchise.
Watts and Ford — previously worked together. Spiderman: homecoming — told Decider that he wrote the show with a sort of sadistic level of joy, so that the kids would face a lot of problems in their quest. Issues like space pirates, unjust imprisonment, and the biggest struggle of all to figure out who is your friend and who is your enemy.
“One of the challenges, and one of the exciting things about writing the story, is that the kids are really overwhelmed,” Ford said, adding Watts. To get out of there. ”
So far, it's working well on the show. Other series in the Star Wars franchise include Andor, the mandalorianand acolyte We've featured adult characters facing adult issues, but this is a complete rebellion. AndorIn the case of — skeleton crew It seems that the country is thriving because young people come together regardless of their age and use their wisdom.
Watts and Ford say that for them, that's the beauty of the show. By telling the story of four children who have to face some ridiculous (and some frightening) obstacles, this production helps them grow up and make it in the world, with or without help. It becomes a show about finding a way. So writing the script gave the co-creators the opportunity to create a “puzzle” that families could enjoy together and that kids would be amazed by.
“If Han Solo or anyone were to find themselves in this situation, they would deal with it. It would be a really short show,” Ford said, to which the co-creator responded with a laugh. “The kids are really struggling. It was like a puzzle of how real kids who don't have superpowers can get out of this situation and save themselves and survive.”
As for what we can expect in future episodes, Watts and Ford chose to remain tight-lipped on actual plot details, but they're hoping for more epic (and challenging) content for Fern, KB, Wim, and Neil. A side quest was announced. And don't ask me about Jod, aka Captain Silbo, aka Crimson Jack. Because I haven't spoiled anything.
“Things are only going to get more intense,” Ford said modestly.
Fans wonder who Jod really is, how the children can return to Attin, and if they do, why no one in the vast galaxy knows about their planet. You'll have to stay there to find out.
