STAR WARS SKELETON CREW EPISODE 3 BREAKDOWN! Easter Eggs You Missed!

welcome back to new rock stars I'm Eric. Boss and this is a breakdown of Star. Wars The Skeleton Crew episode three. let's break down all the Easter eggs. details you missed and references to. Star Wars 80s amblin Throwbacks and. pirate yo ho yoos that you might have. missed and hey with the holidays. approaching nerd Riot do shop is the. best place to grab some nerdy merch for. that Super Fan in your life you know. they need some gear to get them through. 2025 and really shirts like this the. best way to support directly what we're. doing here at new rock stars please and. thank you all right right once again we.

start with the lucasfilm head lineup. rgd2 Captain silvo whom we now know for. sure is John Nana wood AKA Crimson Jack. crims and Jack you're looking well then. an RX series Droid C3PO Darth Vader. Anakin Skywalker and his wizard pod. raser helmet an aten safety Droid a. Mandalorian helmet and SN 33 we open. episode three on the at hatan city. center now you'll notice along the Hill. Crest in the distant background are two. antenna towers that I wonder might.

connect to the grid of red lights that. we saw through the green nebular gas. clouds I'm also real curious what. happens in this creepy Dome that we see. in the lower center of the opening shot. could this be the entrance to the mine. if this is a mineral Rich planet that. has produced all the wealth to make this. one of the crown jewel planets of the. Old Republic and you'll notice each of. the next two shots is a lone safety. Droid marching from the city center from. this still unseen supervisor of AD addin. to Fern and far's upscale culdesac and. you'll notice a few new vehicles are.

parked out front Numa Neil's mother. who's probably a saint offers whims. father wendle some tea while far Fern's. mother says that when she was a kid she. too would sneak out and safety droids. would always bring them back so not only. is being a rebellious youth in the. family we now know from this that. multiple generations of families have. lived in this same weird system of a. planet KB's moms worry about her visor. being offline and say she has very. urgent medical needs now it's hard to. know if the visor has like an actual. medical support fun function like a.

asthma breather or if these two are just. some helicopter parents or were in Star. Wars so I guess lat parents who wire up. their kid with a medical alert headset. to keep tabs on every heartbeat by the. way one cool detail that I didn't. initially catch in last week's breakdown. the school bus trams operated by the RX. droids of adaton when they dro the kids. off at school emit this chime safy class. students this is a pitched up version of. the chime that you hear when you would. board the Star Tours ride at Disney. parks.

there's also another really cool start. Tours Easter egg later in this episode. so onto the docks of Port Borgo and I. love how they design these docks to look. like space versions of actual peers of a. pirate Port Town long peers over this. blue Rippling Shield layer that looks. like the lapping waves upon the sand. also some rope netting just hangs from. these docks now some further details. that we should discuss in regards to. Port Borgo I mentioned last time the. connection to Borgo Prime which. canonically first came up in the 2018. reference book Star Wars Smugglers guide.

but the location actually dates back far. further to the 1995 novel young Jedi. Knights Shadow Academy a Spaceport built. into an asteroid a colony originally. established by the Rotan Invaders now. rata in addition to being a misspelled. Pokemon was an ancient empire a slaver. Society who actually invented hyperspace. technology and you'll know them from. Knights of the Old Republic and. unfortunately Knights of the Old. Republic isn't considered technically. Canon but it totally is in Andor season. 1 episode 4 they Nam drop the rottin.

luthan riel's crystal necklace that he. used as collateral for cassan Andor he. said was a relic from the Rotan era. celebrates the uprising against the. Rutan Invaders so with this series. referencing Old Republic credits meaning. a period thousands of years before even. the prequel era or even the high. Republic era that was just a couple. hundred years before that this could. just be another example of Legends. backstory and I even hate calling it. Legends can we like like we can't even. call it expanded universe anymore that's.

just so stupid but that really cool. backstory being brought back into Canon. by one of these new Star Wars titles we. should also note that from that. continuity Borgo Prime does become. inhabited by the Imperial Remnant and a. financial hub for that Remnant now the. Imperial Remnant refers to a. continuation of the Empire following. Palpatine's defeat the Battle of Endor. led by gillad Pelon a follower of grand. Admiral thron which was explored in. books like Timothy Zan's Spectre of the. past and Michael stack Poole's comic. series Star Wars Union again stuff that.

for a time was considered not part of. the Star Wars cannon anymore but. elements of it are coming back now like. gilad Pelon has returned in this. Mandalorian era that this show is in. played by Xander Berkeley in the. Mandalorian season 3 part of MF Gideon's. Shadow Council and of course that's got. to connect to thraw who has been. established as still alive as of the. Ahsoka series and currently regrouping. on the planet death Meir now I don't. know if any of this context will be. important to the Skeleton Crew series. but it could just be one way that this. show ends up connect in the dots with.

what Dave Fon is cooking up with those. other series now down in the brg J N. wood sneaks out these kids he uses that. old Jedi trick of creating diversion. sound to direct the guards down the. hallway we've seen other Jedi do this. before but also something that probably. any skilled Force practitioner could. figure out by practice you do that. practice let's get to your J says. that he didn't use the force to sneak. out before because he didn't yet have a. ship to exit on whim defends J Jedi are. the Defenders of justice and keepers of. peace and the Galaxy everybody knows.

that whim is evoking Obi-Wan Kenobi's. line about the Jedi Knights in the 1977. Star Wars film for over a thousand. Generations the Jedi Knights were the. Guardians of peace and Justice in the. Old Republic now that line was. technically our first mention of the Old. Republic before George Lucas had a fully. formed idea of what that era even was. but it suggests that whim story pad was. based on censored Legends of the Jedi. from that time in in particular omitting.

all of the recent drama from the Clone. Wars through the Galactic Civil War also. I appreciate how he says Jedi adding the. S to make it plural despite the fact. that Jedi j e di can be both singular or. plural but you know whim is a kid this. is totally understandable and it also. just shows how his knowledge of Jedi. lore is limited KB proves that she can. sense robotic guards with just her visor. this one looks like a to interrogator. Droid like the one used on Leia on the. Death Star in A New Hope but this one. has been modified with different colors. they sort of mixed the the sound of an.

imperial probe Droid that we heard in. The Empire Strikes Back with its. worrying hover noises from A New. [Music]. Hope Fern mocks J's Force influence so I. guess KB's got the force. [Music]. too the force flows through us all you. know he's not wrong but the way Jud law. delivers the line doesn't it kind of. feel like a self-aware platitude that. makes fun of the way some Star Wars.

titles have just given Force sensitivity. to it seems everybody and I didn't point. this out last week but Fern wears her. jacket Inside Out versus when she talked. to her mom in their house where she. reversed it to be proper with a tan side. facing out this just shows her Rebel. nature and her old punk approach to the. status patches that her mom seems to. care about so much my mom makes me wear. it ja takes them through the crowded. Port where they pass some jaas at the. bar and we see some Pirates fighting and. I'm pretty sure we hear the huty. profanity of poodoo.

which of course means. actually the catonian pirate that. we saw last episode at Port Borgo is. getting a tattoo of the Hut clan that we. saw on job of the Hut's arm in Return of. the Jedi now in the wide shot of the. market that kind of looks like some Tuda. Lau hanging from the shop or at least I. hope just a tapestry or a blanket that. looks like it's in this pattern because. uh otherwise it might be like a hunting. trophy or like some skins of ahsoka's. people God I hope not there's also a. ship out there on the far right that.

looks like the Razer Crest remember D. jaran's first ship now of course it was. destroyed in season 2 so maybe it's just. you know an asset Easter egg we also. know that in addition to Honda onaka. ship mored at this port another one of. the dock ships is the original design of. the Millennium Falcon for the 1977 film. before it was redesigned into the shape. that we're more familiar with this more. linear design ended up being used for. the design of the tantive 4 in the. opening shot of the film this is such a. cool detail and you know I'm going to. watch every Star Wars everything just to.

see when the artists add things like. this in and if you love what new rock. stars does and want to help support us. do more of it we now have a channel. membership we're starting small when it. comes to the perks but if you are able. to and if you want to rock some custom. emotes in the comments this is just a. really cool way to help us keep making. these kinds of in-depth videos so they. are fied back out by the same teak. Fairman an interview with 500 first. Legion confirmed that the te who speaks. Haz was voiced by longtime Star Wars. actor Sam witw and that the tis Hut.

cover of Major Tom that Star Wars. released a lyric video for on YouTube. was produced and sang by Matthew Wood. and David. Collins and with all the ET references. on the series many have pointed out that. this tubular fairy boat recalls the. air-locked plastic tube tunnels used by. the government scientists in ET as whim. points out their ship to J notice how in. the foreground Neil just picks up the. Blaster that J had just set down and. then like is afraid that he's holding.

the deadly weapon and then just places. it back down on the bench like nothing. happened as they approach the Onyx. Cinder there is a pig Pines stink cloud. of dirt and rust hovering around it. still giving off some residual Grime. from being buried for so long on ad Aton. now J does not care about leaving sm33. behind he correctly points out that no. joy Left Behind is not an official Jedi. saying I thought the Jedi never left a. man behind though we should note in. practice a lot of Jedi that we have seen. including Luke Skywalker with R2 and 3PO. Ray with bb8 Anakin with R2 and 3PO.

calus with bd1 Ahsoka with huyang Ezra. with chopper they often have Droid. Companions and probably would not be. okay leaving those droids behind to die. so I want to know what Droid let JW down. was it Chopper because Chopper is a war. criminal and we can't trust Chopper we. should leave Chopper behind John warns. that they will be captured and back in. the brri before they can say parseek an. obvious nod of the unit of distance that. the Millennium Falcon could do the. Kastle Run in less than 12 of though I. appreciate how J uses the term as. something that it would take a short. amount of time to say turning it back.

into a unit of time in a way so J. reluctantly decides to go back for sm33. silver was escape from the bridge aha so. a in case there was any doubt J N wood. is that Mutiny captain silvo from the. prologue scene and B the guy shouting. this has the same type of face as Dr. Evon from the mosis Cantina and a new. hope the Buddy of pababa the aqualish Dr. Evon was a cosmetic surgeon and his face. looked that way because he was. disfigured by a bounty hunter probably. on behalf of some disg former patient.

also listen to MC jino's score. here doesn't it kind of sound like he's. sampling CL bedel in Han Zimmer's swords. cross theme from Pirates of the. Caribbean he remember the music when. Elizabeth Swan sees the Black Pearl. crew's true skeletal form in the. Moonlight thank you to better help for. sponsoring this video December has got. everybody thinking of gifts the best. gifts are the gifts that keep on giving.

Droid hello I am. cd29 oh this poor idiot is a CZ Droid we. saw cz1 among the Jawa scrapped items. along with 3PO on the sand crawler on. Tatooine in A New Hope and the CZ Droid. was based on Ralph mcc's original. designs for what ended up becoming 3PO. then this one the prince is in danger. quickly I must save the prince we must. go this way where I can't see yes very. Lost in Space right but there was an arc. concerning a prince in the Star Wars. droids cartoon there was also a protocol.

droid named 104 to AKA bug eyes that got. destroyed while protecting Prince zizor. of the black sun in a legend story so. maybe this is like an alternate version. of 3PO now John Watts and Chris Ford. were asked if this was a specific. reference to one of those things but. they just didn't really answer the. question in the interview and I'm very. frustrated then of course this poor. separatist era battle. droid oh my God so this is a gag that we. saw in the bad batch when another B. battle droid was asked this upon waking.

up on an assembly line I don't know did. we win these were both probably droids. who were shut down during the Battle of. Naboo by Anakin blowing up the Trade. Federation ship who now were just kind. of woken up years later wondering how. that battle ended to answer the question. no no you very much did not win so J is. found by an ishy TI former crewmate. named benjar pranic who is voiced by the. great Alfred Molina someone with a long. history with Lucas film as satipo and. Raiders of the Lost Arc and obviously. worked with John Watson sper R their way. home also in the background don't these.

Droid Parts look like the arms of a wed. Treadwell repair Droid maybe separated. from the base and hung upside down. another Droid that was also with the. Jawas on the sand crawler and A New Hope. also obviously in the background there's. going to be a gonk power Droid back. there also this whole scene with Alfred. M's character is one take and it's very. Spielberg and the subtlety of that one. take it's just a lot of different setups. it seems like about four or five. different setups where the camera just. doesn't even cut meanwhile the kids. debate how J floated the keys again all. eyes on Neil in this moment he's got a. stick or something stupid that he's.

trying to levitate with his hand oh Neil. what are you doing Fern mentions a. repulser lift and a tractor beam as ways. that you could float things without the. force a Repulsor lift is that floating. table we saw one of these earlier in the. brig level and also around Cloud City on. Empire tractor beam of course is what. larger ships use to draw in a smaller. craft like the Death Star did to the. Falcon the kids debate if J wants this. mythical treasure on adadon while in the. background you can begin to see J. fleeing the other Pirates Blaster fire. through the pit Windows behind the.

kids J ends up boarding and the kids. round the quarter and we see whim. skidding now whim often comes to abrupt. stops in skids and I'm very impressed. with this young actor for being able to. do this John Watts obviously loves 80s. John Hughes movies and this is just like. in The Breakfast Club when the kids skit. in the hallway when trying to avoid Mr. Vernon J says watch this ah something. similar said by Han Solo in Empire oh. yeah watch this now as J tries to Pilot. the Onyx cender to snap the fuel line at. the bottom of the screen is a star. speeder 1000 ah yes these are the.

transports from Star Tours the orange. coloring we see here was actually used. in the newer Star Tours ride vehicle. starting in 2011 that replaced the. original colors from 1987 the star. speeder 3000 white with a blue pinstripe. technically the star speeder 1000 is a. predecessor to the 3000 and they did. that because in the 2011 update they. included some prequel era stuff J uses. these fuel lines to tangle up the other. mored ships and they jump to hyperspace. right as the cannon fire blasts through. where the ship just was and the fuel.

line severs and whips back Final. Destination Style to take out some cargo. on the dog and at least four Pirates. they just go flying meanwhile Brutus. despite all the chaos doesn't move he. stands his ground he's got a reputation. to upkeep they wake up sm33 can't say I. remember no at attin remember sm33 said. the same sentence last episode he seems. to have a very shortterm memory issue he. also tends to repeat himself and not my. words for I won't you repeat repeating. him again and he even tags that scene.

with just an extra unnecessary repeated. eye J eats a Kind of Blue mush or. oatmeal or cereal now if the Onyx Cinder. is a very old vessel that was buried on. ad Aden how old would the food be I. really hope that J brought that food. with them because they're going to be. eating like some elain cake from Diana. and Charles's wedding and you know. they're about to have a very bad. digestive issue and I like how as the. kids crowd around the pot we hear whim. tell Neil not to put his trunk in there. now Neil is very sensitive about his.

trunk he used the term pain in the trunk. and he said that he does not talk with. his trunk but he did shush with his. trunk like elephants you see he will use. his trunk apparently to put food in his. mouth I just would have spend four hours. talking about Neil now when J pulls the. dagger out of the skeleton if you listen. closely you can hear a. ghostly what does this mean this ship is. haunted the kids speculate what the. great work of at Aton is really all. about their parents work in admin or as. analyst analyzing something about money.

it may be unrelated but there was a. series of great works in the high. Republic stories which included the. Starlight Beacon these were the work of. supreme Chancellor Lena so and the Jedi. on whim story pad was named Lena now. again the higher Republic was just a few. hundred years before this the Old. Republic where these data reads come. from is several thousands of years. before this for what it's worth I was. asking about the table of five type of. math that Wendell was quizzing whim on. in the first episode and a comment on. last week's breakdown explained that 1.

16094 is the natural logarithm of five. meaning l in parentheses 5 equals 1. 6094 you know that button that you. almost never push on your calculator. it's using the mathematical constant of. e which is commonly used in finance. interest rates and currency fluctuations. I did not know that but now I do now. whim covers his Old Republic credits. with this bowl and then Neil flips over. his bowl too but there are no credits in. front of him oh Neil also can we talk. about Neil's little baby elephant. trumpet when he.

snores oh my God KB says she calculated. the odds and I have suspected J to say. response never tell me the odds but. instead he says this not everything in. the Galaxy can be calculated a far more. eye-opening thing to say to a kid from a. closed off Society of analysts who just. crunch numbers their whole lives they. land on this Moon and they March in a. single file line like Tuscan Raiders to. hide their numbers and they cross the. light of the larger planet that this. Moon orbits and their Silhouettes look. at bit like Elliot and ET crossing the.

moon on the bike did we force that one. look on this series any amblin Vibes can. be presumed to be intentional outside. this Observatory compound A J talks to a. tt8 y7 gatekeeper Droid first seen and. return to the Jedi outside Java's Palace. and we meet Kim and Kim is spelled not. at all the way you'd expect Kim to be. spelled KH apostrophe ymm but it's just. Kim is voiced by Aaliyah shock hat from. Arrested Development and search partner. shock hat and John Watts had worked.

together on the FX series The Old Man. Kim calls JN Crimson Jack which is the. third moniker we've gotten for this. character now Crimson Jack is actually a. familiar name to Star Wars AKA Redbeard. this is the name of a pirate in Marvel's. very first Star Wars comic run from 1977. this guy showed up in number seven of. that series a character involved with a. bounty on Han Solo's head from jobba the. Hut and number 28 of that series solo. saves Jabba's life resolving the Bounty. but then when the Empire Strikes Back. film came out in 1979 the Bounty. remained on hans's head at the beginning.

of that movie that kind of retconed the. comics so the writers of the comics had. Jabba's men find Crimson Jacks destroyed. Imperial cruiser and they blamed Han for. it because Crimson Jack had told Han. Solo that he had Financial backers to. restore this Imperial cruiser and Jaba. was revealed to be that backer so Han. destroying the ship cost Jaba a lot of. money and that's why Jaba still had the. Bounty for Han and Empire now Crimson. Jack as a character was brought back in. recent comics from 2022 housan Legacy as. a pirate during the sequel era he was. trying to claim a bounty for the first.

order I don't know if the series is. trying to make John N wood the same. character as that version of crimson. Jack or if that's just like a moniker. that J might have with Kim or he just. has a reputation as a scoundrel with the. police forces of the new Republic now. Kim species is unknown but she wears. some headgear similar to what KB wears. her head can pivot nearly all the way. around similar to the way an owls can. Kim unfurls an old scroll that depicts. the jewels of the Old Republic planets. that were kept hidden for their. protection and she says that long ago. they were all destroyed except one at.

Aton we spent a lot of time trying to. translate the orbes on this scroll and. you can definitely make out in some. cases words like great work or. Tranquility but this is yet another. frustrating example of where the Lucas. film prop designers who worked on this. either worked in a team where one of. them used correct orish and the others. like letters or maybe they just didn't. have enough time to properly encode the. ores but a lot of this is gibberish. folks and it's frustrating to spend so. much time going letter by letter trying. to analyze and realizing why do they put. a K in the middle of this but also we.

might be looking at like an archaic form. of ores where like not all the letters. fit neatly like when you look at Latin. letters there's what looks like a V but. it's actually a u so I don't want to. judge this too harshly now the art on. the left side of the squrrel resembles. the mural that's in Farah and Fern's. living room so I'm assuming it's legit. but while this squirrel depicts a more. ancient past of the Old Republic I think. the scroll itself might have been made. sometime more recent when the Republic. had switched over to using the ores. written language because the outer words.

use ores but the vertical script around. each of those nine planets seems to be. older runes so this would be like. finding a Greek scroll with letters. similar to the ones we use now. describing something that we see as a. myth like Atlantis Kim asks if there are. any nearby plans to add Aton in school. we learn about corusant and alderon. alderon miss the war did you what war. whoa so I guess I'm not that surprised. but the kids on adaton are so filtered. from Star Wars history that they don't.

even know that aldron was destroyed in. the Galactic Civil War and by Neil. asking what war I'm guessing they. weren't even taught about the Civil War. or the Clone Wars before it Kim. speculates that what the kids see in. their Sky the swirling clouds are. nebular gases and that's what keeps the. planet hidden from Outsiders Kim scans. Fern's badge it has the word prefect in. orbes written across it Kim disassembles. it to single out what she calls palish. numerals now we couldn't find anything. in Star Wars on the term palish but it. sounds like some other Society from the. Old Republic era Kim's computer displays.

some ores that translates to unknown Old. Republic emblem palish numeral number n. eliminated that's at the bottom in green. so this suggests that adaton was the. ninth of these nine worlds that were. destroyed and that according to current. New Republic star Maps this planet was. also eliminated but really in actuality. it's just hidden within nebular clouds. maybe even the debris fields of the. other planets that were destroyed J. senses that Kim called in the two. x-wings they fight and J steals the. coordinates and shoots a computer but. actually before it's blown up you can.

briefly see orbes on the screen reading. nav bank or navigation bank at the top. and then lists several known Star Wars. planets we see Mustafar mandalar twine. Hoth and Camino that planet was supposed. to have been lost and had to have been. found and attack of the Clones then. bespin corusant and corellia and when J. shoots it the Blaster has that same. pirate pistol flint lock sound effect. that we heard back in episode one. which makes sense as he would has gotten.

this Blaster from the onx cinder now the. kids do not trust J on the way back onto. his ship and KB waves down the x-wings. going anywhere without coordinates hey. here we are over here stop it sounds. like KB just using her headset can. remotely link with the ship's PA system. that's fun J confesses that he's just. like these kids lost and alone and. that's honestly enough for them to trust. him for now but he agrees that he works. for them they launched the Onyx Cinder. and the two x-wings turn to follow like. the pairs of x-wings that we've seen pil. Ed by Trapper wolf and Carson TAA and.

the Mandalorian in the book of buett. during this era these x-wings seem to be. part of the Contemporary New Republic. blue Squadron this X-Wing Chase might be. one of the only times x-wings have been. shown as truly antagonistic and menacing. because these kids have never left at. Aden before so these star fighters to. them might as well be Tie. fighters damn it the goons J gives Neil. the flight controls and takes whim and. fern to the Gunner seats these two kids. get to Feel the Rush that Luke felt in. the dog fight and a new hope got him I. got him great kid don't get.

[Music]. cocky I got him that my shot and I'm. sure Disney wants all of us to think the. same rush you kid can feel when your. parents take you to Galaxy's Edge so you. could ride smuggers run if you do it go. for engineer I know it's not the sexy. option but engineer is just more fun. unlike the third or fourth time you do. it and speaking of Engineers KB is the. engineer of this crew on her screen and. reads warp drive in orbes and we hear. the same lucasfilm audio Library sound. effect as Vader controls in his ship in.

the trench. run we're. clear while the colors on the screen and. the horizon line resemble the layout. design of the screens tracking the death. stars orbit around Yavin as they were. waiting for Yavin 4 to Crest around the. edge of the gas giant in this case J is. just waiting for the sunrise from The. Other Side of the Moon to combine with. the moon dust he has kicked up and the. blinding sunlight to Blind these X-Wing. Pilots so that the onx cender can climb. to be able to jump to hyper space again. leaving some dirt in the wake I love.

this strategy of using the movement of. celestial bodies it's like the rebels. and Andor using the eye of Alon meteor. shower to mask their escape the episode. ends with Kim chatting with the X-Wing. pilot Commander Kent played by Andy. Powers any idea where they're headed if. I told you you wouldn't believe. me m Chino's use of the theramin is a. tonally very weird vibe but I dig it as. a reflection of the very Bonkers.

character of Kim and the very spooky. mystery of what at Aton truly is that's. everything we found in this episode now. our breakdown for episode 4 which is. going to be a very interesting episode. directed by Oscar winning directors the. Daniels our breakdown of that episode. will come out on Thursday of next week. so I I appreciate your patience but we. just aren't going to have screeners and. we need some time to really break it. down properly huge thanks to Noah Chen. and Brandon baric for helping research. this breakdown comment down below with. your thoughts follow me at eav subscribe. to all three channels of the new rockar.

network for breakdowns and news coverage. of everything you love thanks for. watching and I'll see you next time bye. [Music].
