S3 - Episode #1: Skeleton Crew

In our first episode of Season 3, we tackle the new Star Wars
series, Skeleton Crew. We explore the show's premise, character
development, and how it compares to other Star Wars content,
particularly the Acolyte. The conversation delves into our
expectations when it was first announced compared to our opinions
after watching the entire series, the performances of the child
actors, the overall reception of the show, and how well the
series balances appeal for both younger and older audiences.
