It didn’t take long Star Wars: Skeleton Crew To win the hearts of the masses. The premise of the adventure is accessible to everyone, the kids are great, and it doesn’t require a lot of prior knowledge star wars. Also, there was no Skywalker in sight. This means that the overarching plot of good versus evil, Jedi versus Sith, simply isn’t there. wim(Ravi Cabot Conyers) He may be a Jedi fan (like all of us), but that’s about it. This is great, because, Lately, the Disney era of Star Wars has been getting a lot of flack over how to use its final villainsespecially.

The Sith themselves are not the problem. assistantfor example, tells a great story centered around the Sith, and it works perfectly because of how it expands on their thinking and philosophy. However, this is the exception, as we see how they are usually just the villains, the troublemakers who give the heroes someone to fight. If there were Jedi, there had to be Sith, however The galaxy can’t be that small.

Especially after Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalkerit seems Everything must come back to the Sith pulling the strings from behind the curtain. Imperial remains in The Mandalorianomega (Michelle Ang) in Bad batchSisters of the Night in Ahsoka…Sure, some things from the movies need to be explained, but do we have to make everything about the Sith, all the time, in order to do that?

Please, no Skywalkers.

Star Wars has tried to move away from the Sith before

It wasn’t always like this. when Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi came out, it was refreshing to see that it wasn’t necessarily about the Sith. snook (Andy Serkis(It wasn’t Darth, Kylo Ren)Adam Driver) He was not a Sith Lord, and the First Order were simply disaffected fascists – and then there was a backlash. Not because of a lack of Sith necessarily, but because it “wasn’t Star Wars,” whatever the vocal minority of self-titled “fans” mean by that. This is likely one of the reasons Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) was brought back. in Episode nineBecause he was a Star Wars villain for six movies, right? Having the Jedi fight the Sith once again It’s sure to calm the naysayers.

It doesn’t seem like it was JJ Abrams“Wrong, actually. Apparently, he never intended for the First Order or the Knights of Ren to be a Sith cult all along, for example, but the narrative around Rey (Daisy Ridley) lineage, which appears to have been put to bed The last jedimade it easier for the powers that be to tie everything into a tedious and overly simplistic knot. and Now, to make it seem less boring and simple, every story should involve a Sith And how they were secretly planning everything all the time.

“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” works because it doesn’t focus on Jedi vs. Sith

Right now, there seems to be no signs of the Sith Skeleton crewbut there are rumors and speculation that they may be heavily attached to the new series, such is the possibility Jude LawA secret Jedi character, a rogue Palpatine clone, or Attin’s Great Work implied to be a planet of Sith cultists working on a plot to bring back Palpatine. It can’t be stressed enough how disappointing it is, because, finally, we have a Star Wars story that isn’t about good versus evil, or Skywalkers, or Jedi versus Sith — it’s simply about kids trying to find their way home. The viewing distance of the Sith is one of the best things about itas are the best parts of The Mandalorian (Criminal Underworld and Mandalore) and even Boba Fett book.

Skeleton crew It even exploits a completely unexplored storytelling angle in the franchisewith the rise of piracy beyond the reach of the New Republic. Yes, The Mandalorian He handles this as well, but only for minutes, then immediately goes back to fighting Palpatine’s secret plan again. The strongest aspect of this new series is how it places a group of children at the center of its plot, connecting with the galaxy as a whole in this unique transitional period for the Republic. If the story suddenly became about the Sith instead, well… it would be frustrating.
