Definitely does seem like a cross between Explorers and Goonies.

Attack of the Clones did have 1950s diner but this doesn't look very Star Wars:

Wow, now THIS is a swing for the fences!
The Captain Eo tie-in possibility has me more excited than anything else, really. The idea you can be "lost" in Star Wars space is pretty silly but I'm willing to run with it.
Star Wars suburbia is a TERRIBLE idea though, only the possibility of Sean Austin, Ethan Hawke, Josh Brolin, Henry Thomas, and maybe even Corey Feldman playing bored dads in a nod to the wonder of 80's suburban set fantasy would justify going that direction.

If you don’t know how to use a hyperdrive it’d be super easy.

Smell like sh1t
I dunno, seems like any old monkey can use Star Wars tech, so even a couple of kids ought to be able to figure it out. Plus Lucasfilm has spent the last 10 years or so making the Star Wars universe feel about the size of a backyard so seems odd they would suddenly use "lost in spaaaace" as a plot point. But if they can pull it off, good on 'em.

Attack of the Clones established there are connecting galaxies that are mostly uninhabited (at least to general knowledge) and the planet that was making the clones was located there IIRC. Seems like prime real estate for a story like this.
No they weren't, there was a map that led right to them. They were stranded at best. Even Luke had a bizarrely convoluted bread crumb map that went straight to him. No one is 'lost' in space with a telescope and some stars for reference, at best you are just far (far) away.
To be honest, given what his kids look like, what would be the point? If you wanna follow MJ, scour THE PLANET to find a new talent that can do him justice.

I am sure it is going to be shit just like every other Soy Wars release. Crazy how they just keep roping y'all in.

Yeah. They would have to find someone similar to MJ, but different.To be honest, given what his kids look like, what would be the point? If you wanna follow MJ, scour THE PLANET to find a new talent that can do him justice.

Stop attacking other posters on the basis that their opinions are not genuine and being mind controlled by rage bait YouTubers.

The suburbs scenario looked bad and empty. Seems like goonies (in feeling), I won't accept any other ending than, after they get accepted to the Jedy temple Anakin shows up

This is set at the same time as Mando. The pirates from Mando are the villains in it.
I won't be watching this, but SW takes place in a GALAXY. Not a cluster or system.This looks beyond awful. Like, I don't even have words to describe how non-Star Warsy this feels.
It makes sense there'd be at least ONE planet similar to ours, in some ways.

The problem isn't that a planet is Earthlike as most planets in Star Wars are.
Rome:
The issue for me is that the suburb looks just like a somewhat futuristic suburbia in Houston. Lucas was always good at injecting a feel of othergalaxiness in his worlds so that they wouldn't feel like Earth. The creators of this show have no eye for that level of detail so it comes off as lazy and jarring.

Agreed. I think they envision everyone living on an ecumenopolis. I can even imagine living like that. I live in the suburbs and find it too much at times lol.

True, I was going to write about that scene as a horrid exception. I have no idea what he was thinking there and why they went with it.
You gotta be REALLY careful with your pop culture homages in Star Wars, lest you get shit like this...
It needs to be done with a very specific goal and intent in mind. It's one thing to use a Fox backlot and glam it up with some Star Warsy stuff due to budget limitations, but these shows have virtually unlimited resources so to go for such a specific americana look and destroy the illusion of "a long time ago and far far away" has to have a pretty significant pay-off.

I would hazard a guess that Disney gave out that opinion with the constant dross they've been shitting out

One of my favorite scenes from the Prequel Films
I just saw the trailer for Skeleton Crew and it looks fantastic. Got a Goonie feel from it. I'm going to watch this and I'm hoping it's good

Hard pass. Why the fk do they keep naming this shows "star wars". Just give them another name and it will be fine.

If it were constant life would be much simpler.I would hazard a guess that Disney gave out that opinion with the constant dross they've been shitting out
Star Wars is instead on a roulette wheel of quality, and none of us ever know if the next show or movie will end up being a jackpot (Andor, Mando S1/S2, SW Visions S1), a simple prize (Visions S2, Mando S3) or a dud (Acolyte, Boba Fett).
It would fit perfectly in line, in an ironicly sad way, that the one show (Skeleton Crew) which feels like a Disney Channel original movie could end up being one of their best offerings.
