SKELETON CREW's Latest Episode Included Millennium Falcon, R2-D2, And More STAR WARS Easter Eggs - SPOILERS

The latest episode of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew introduced Tet'Niss, "the Mama Crab," but did you notice nods to previous Star Wars movies and TV shows? You can find a full video breakdown right here...

In this week's episode of Skeleton Crew, we pick up with Fern, Wim, Neel, and KB following Jod's shocking betrayal. While Fern and Neel decide to try and reach the group's ship, KB and Wim choose to follow some skittering trash crabs.

That leads them to a giant trash crab called Tet'Niss, "the Mama Crab." An edge-of-your-seat encounter follows while Jod wins over his old crew with the promise of leading them to At Attin's endless treasure.

In a newly released video, we see many of the Easter Eggs included on the back of Tet'Niss. There's an R2-D2, C-3PO, K-2SO, and even nods to ships like the Millennium Falcon and Hondo Ohnaka's ship, the Katooni.

Talking to StarWars.com, Tippett Studios art director and fabrication supervisor Mark Dubeau explained, "If you look closely at the junk on his back, it's not just random parts. There's pieces of the Millennium Falcon in there. There's pieces of an Imperial walker. There [are] droids stuck in there! I just wanted to make it look as bizarre as humanly possible."

"Doug [Chiang] was very specific," he continued. "He didn't want it to look like there was an X-wing sticking out of it. So, it's very well disguised. I was having so much fun. I even invited Doug at one point and gave him a hot glue gun, and he came and he put junk on the legs. It's completely festooned with garbage."

You can watch this new Skeleton Crew featurette in the player below:

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew follows the journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home - and meeting unlikely allies and enemies - will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.

@Clintthahamster - I tried. Kept falling asleep! So ... inconsequential.

@GeneralZod - I keep hearing inconsequential, but I feel like this show is introducing more new lore than anything in recent memory. But yeah, if you tried it and didn't dig it, fair enough. It's the dudes that keep saying "Looks interesting . . . Still won't watch it" that bum me out.

@Clintthahamster - Honest question, so that I can give Skeleton Crew another try: at what episode does it start to be less 'kiddy'? Episode 3?
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 1/3/2025, 12:37 PM
@GeneralZod - I mean, the kids are always there, always the center of the story, and they never stop acting like kids. But yeah, I'd say three is when all the pieces are in place and the story really starts moving forward.

If you find yourself enjoying movies like The Goonies, Stand By Me, Flight of the Navigator, Cloak and Dagger, etc for any reason other than nostalgia, I think you'll dig this.

Soo is this good? Seemed too kiddy for me in the trailers but I did like stranger things (but that was kinda suspense horror). Acolyte wasn’t for me but I’ve enjoyed andor and mando.

@NonPlayerC - It has kids in it, but it's not "for kids." The first Episode is the "kiddiest" since it's mostly them at home/at school leading up to the adventure. I'd give it two episodes.

That’s pretty cool , no wonder it looked so good with them using an actual built model then just completely VFX.

This show has been a pleasant surprise honestly imo…

I have enjoyed the characters & story that has been presented with no real areas for me atleast in which the production has felt lacking or such (it’s maybe even one of , if not the best looking SW show imo).

If it wraps up well in these next 2 episodes , it could perhaps be second or so to Andor for me as my favorite SW show thus far!!.

Also if one show should have had Hondo in it , it’s the one that deals so much with pirates!!.

@TheVisionary25 - pretty head scratching to not have Hondo in this show.

@HeavyMetal4Life - yeah

Just feels like a missed opportunity but oh well

I'm actually seriously wondering if anyone is watching this. It's not even fun to pick on it anymore.

@CreateNowSlpL8r - As the rest of the world experiences the child-like joy of Star Wars for the first time in years, CreateNowSlpL8r sits in his recliner, arms crossed in certainty, and watches Big Bang Theory reruns, knowing his time is well spent.

@Clintthahamster - I don't watch TV.

So I guess you are the one person watching this.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 1/3/2025, 11:49 AM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - HOLY SHIT. If you don't watch TV why are you commenting on an article about a TV show?
CreateNowSlpL8r
CreateNowSlpL8r - 1/3/2025, 12:01 PM
@Clintthahamster - I mean traditional TV. I don't consider streaming shows TV. Even then, I guess I don't watch much of those either anymore. I am currently re-watching Daredevil because my son never saw it. That and the Knicks. It's likely the next show/movie I will watch is Daredevil.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 1/3/2025, 12:26 PM
@CreateNowSlpL8r - I guess I think of anything under feature length and episodic as "TV," but I can understand you making that distinction. I also don't watch much traditional TV outside of a few sitcoms my wife and I like and wrestling. Lots of wrestling.

Binging Daredevil (and as much of the other Defenders stuff as I can get through) is definitely on the to do list. It's gonna be my treadmill show until the weather warms up and I can get outside again.

This has been TMI with Clint!

This show is surprisingly good. Best Star Wars since Andor and season 2 of The Mandalorian. 👍

@TheNewYorker - There are adults watching Harry Potter and Pokemon, so what’s wrong with this?

@TheNewYorker - We are a special lot, it's true, seemingly immune from the edgelord groupthink that leads a bunch of Star Wars fans to refuse to watch Star Wars.

I really wish they would go back to the less is more approach when it comes to Star Wars honestly!!!

@Truoptimusprime - Watching the show, I did not notice these things. They aren't shown in closeup. It's just filmmakers who love Star Wars paying tribute to Star Wars while making Star Wars. It's nice.

This was another fun episode full of character development for many of the young heroes. Neel helping Fern realize that she can't hope everyone performs in the same way she does makes her grow up and continue to humble herself to make peace with KB after that short fallout. All of these things help her in honing her not just as a leader but also as a person.

Wim saving KB's life as she opened up about her disability made up for his funny screw up in the last episode. He always means well and when KB thanked him calling him a Jedi despite his previous fluke it was everything for him. Splitting them up like this worked to make them all care more for each other besides their own small circle of friends.(Neel-Wim, Fern-KB)

I do wonder what kind of accident happened to KB that required her to have to wear cybernetic parts though.

Last week Jod switched from a friend into a borderline sinister foe that now had a lightsbaer but now he reverted back to what he really is, a greedy pirate that literally hanged all the treasure he could onto himself until he was caught. XD NGL SM-33 also showing up full of jewels only to be shoot was more hilarious.

I'm curious to know who will reach At Attin first: Jod and the pirates of the kids in their sleek new ride after that epic escape.

"Claimsies on the new ship!" had me laughing at the end. XD

This was stop motion instead of CGI? Great job!

@X75 - yeah, surprises me as well. Do think they CGI'd over it, especially the head. Looks too smooth otherwise
