On the one hand, its awesome because many of us are home and able to watch.
So, thats why this weeks recapand next weekswill be a day late.
But we like to think of those days off as a visit to the planet of Lanupa.

Lets discuss episode five, You Have a Lot to Learn About Pirates.
By this point, we basically know what were going to get onSkeleton Crew.
And this week was no exception.
Pokkit, played by Kelly Macdonald – Lucasfilm
His name was Captain Tak Rennod, a name that immediately sparks Jods fancy.
In Rennods secret lair, located under Skull Ridge Mountain, the crew can find the way home.
Which is super quirky in aStar Warssense while also speaking to just how long ago Rennods adventure took place.
Pokkit, played by Kelly Macdonald – Lucasfilm
We still are very curious about what happened with all of that.
We see all manner of coolStar Warsaliens, including a very gross, very hungry Hutt.
Thats at least his fourth alias which, of course, just raises more red flags about the character.
Jod gets a lightsaber – Lucasfilm
Pokkit calls in his bounty and Jods former crew, led by Brutus, are dispatched to Lanupa.
And so the race begins.
Will the pirates find Jod and the crew or will they find the lair?
Heres whereSkeleton Crewwent fullGoonies.
Both had skeletons on the ground, both had liquid pools to traverse, both had anti-gravity spike chambers.
No, wait, justSkeleton Crewhad that.
LikeThe Goonies, the group does find that treasure room and its chock full of cool stuff.
Wim even spots a real lightsaber.
Meaning, you’re free to make your own money.
Could Jod be related to Rennod?
That revelation changes everything for Jod.
Closer to the treasure than ever before, he challenges Fern for the title of captain.
She bravely tries to fight back, but his Force powers are too strong.
Hes about to fulfill every single dream and fantasy hes ever had.
But, when he ignites it, its upside down and it flies away.
Our biggest takeaway fromSkeleton Crewepisode five is just how much fun can be had within this story.
And if it means we meet new aliens and bounty hunters on exciting new planets along the way?
it’s possible for you to stream the first five episodes ofStar Wars: Skeleton Crewon Disney+.
