#skeleton crew sm 33

[rose-morose]

just a little reminder from SM-33 that many droids in the Star Wars universe are a race of sentient beings enslaved by their organic creators, and despite their programming, do possess a capacity for free will

maybe we should have listened more to L3-37

(not about Lando though, keep that to yourself)

Some Jod Na Nawood sketches since I've been enjoying Skeleton Crew so far! I like the Goonies 80s vibes to it a lot. Also I'm super intrigued by Jod's true identity and if he's just force sensitive or sith or jedi haha

I really love the way that SM-33 switched sides during the “claimsies” argument because to me it was a reminder that for all the fun the show’s had with 33 being beholden to the pirate code, he’s still fundamentally a Star Wars Droid.

Throughout the show we’ve seen that 33 is not just thematically pirate-coded, but he’s also often been bound by rules in a way that is fairly common for robots in media. He doesn’t remember “no At Attin”, he attacks the kids when reminded of his orders, etc. While this is behaviour that is normal for a typical robot, 33 isn’t just a robot— he’s specifically a Star Wars droid, and Star Wars has always shown droids to be sentient beings capable of “emotional” attachments.

So of course 33 accepted that claimsies was close enough, because fundamentally he wanted to be on the kids side. He’s been waiting the whole show for viable reasons to attack Jod because despite being constrained to his programming, he still has his own personality and opinions.

TLDR 33 isn’t just a robot, he’s a droid who’d been waiting for the chance to have a go at Jod

He fainted.

I love the way SM-33 has embraced being the kids' adult supervision.

He's been salty and hostile to everyone except the kids. Yes, this could be programmed loyalty to the crew, but he's been at odds with Jod even though he joined the crew, despite Jod saving him and the kids at the spaceport.

The biggest thing was at the end of the last episode when Jod told SM-33 to take the kids prisoner. Instead of the kind of mean-spirited comments and manhandling he'd been giving Jod, he approached with a reluctant "I'm sorry, kids. Captain's orders." At that point they were prisoners, not crew, so that wasn't just programmed loyalty to his crew.

Plus, you can't tell me he didn't love it when they were all huddled around him listening as he told the story.

I know we're all expecting Jod to be the found parental figure of this show, and maybe he will be, but SM-33 was ready to sign adoption papers by the end of episode 2.

Friendship ended with Jod, 33 is now the newest member of the Star Wars father figure character club

One of my favorite things about Skeleton Crew was how Fern's crew was clearly and unrepentantly SM-33's favorite and this is demonstrated by the fact that he did not hesitate to fucking deck Jod as soon as he had a good enough excuse to do so

[cross-d-a]

I really really REALLY loved how SM-33 clearly adore the kids. Like him accepting Un-Claimsies bc it was “close enough”!!!!! Like!!!!!!!!! The kids and SM-33 are the best found family!!!!!!!! I really hope he gets to live with them in the end
