Welcome to your weekly free-for-all chat post. Anything SW-related is fair game. The topic for this week has been "trade", if you've missed it.

Have fun!

Agreed on the physical credits feeling a bit out of place in Skeleton Crew! Especially people using a handful of coins to make minor everyday purchases as compared to, say, tapping a card or something.

Also I’m curious what you thought of SC generally! I’d mostly forgotten it was happening and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

First a caveat that I've only seen the first episode so far. I'm a little ambivalent -- I'm not the target audience for a kid-led adventure. However I really loved seeing a Star Wars suburb, which is not something we've ever seen before. The entire aesthetic is very different from what SW has been until now. Given the thousands of planets I really want to see the verse given more detail and there to be more galaxy-building going on.

So I'm somewhat concerned that at the end of Ep 1 we're leaving all that behind. I also realize that the show generally is a throwback to certain types of stories that we've seen a good deal in the past. But I don't think that should be held against it as it's not like it was invented in the past decades.

I also really liked the visit to Space Suburbia! Definitely hoping we get to spend a bit more time there/return there as the series progresses.
