Keep an Eye Out for These ‘Skeleton Crew’ Episodes
The series is eight episodes.
For each of you, which episode is your favorite and why?
It talks a little bit more about Neel than other episodes.
KRATTER: For me, it has to be Episode 6.
I thought that was a really special episode.
And also, this guy, [Cabot-Conyers].
CABOT-CONYERS: I would say Episode 8 because I liked the vibe.
Not too much I can say, but thevibe.
[Laughs]
Jon and Chris were telling me that Episode 8 answers a lot.
It’s a big episode.
It’s definitely also my favorite, as well.
I had a blast filming that episode.
Without spoilers, which shot or sequence making the show ended up being the toughest for each of you?
SMITH: I’m really trying not to become the Tom Holland of the show.
I wanna take a moment and say props.
[Laughs]
CABOT-CONYERS: Honestly, I thought it was really smooth, the shooting process.
I thought it was all really smooth and there werent too many issues during the emotional scenes.
I felt I felt that was pretty smooth.
But a lot of the stunts were so much fun.
There were some that were a bit intense, but it was very fun.
SMITH: Can I bounce off of that a little bit?
CABOT-CONYERS: Of course.
CABOT-CONYERS: That is true.
KRATTER: [Laughs] Oh my gosh.
I was just really screaming a lot in this particular episode, and I lost my voice.
I drank so much tea that day I got sick of it.
KRATTER: It was pretty easy when we were filming, especially with Bryce [Dallas Howard].
She gave me a lot of creative freedom to do what I wanted.
Bryce Dallas Howard is one of many talented directors to helm an episode of the highly anticipated series.
Oh, she helmed Episode 6.
KRATTER: Yes, and with Bryce, I was like, Could I try it this way?
And she was like, Oh, yeah!
Just go for it.
And I love that.
She’s also an actress and so she knew how to work with us, and I loved her.
CABOT-CONYERS: Definitely a good mentor.
Which Star Wars Movie Resonates With Younger Generations?
I’m curious from your younger perspective.
SMITH: My favorite movie isA New Hope.
I just think it’s a really great movie, honestly.
It starts off the series really great, it introduces everybody to it.
I may be wrong, but when that movie came out, did it say Episode IV?
No, it just saidStar Wars, and they addedEpisode IV: A New Hopeafter they started making more.
Anyway, I just like.
I just thought it was a great story.
It introduced some of the greatest heroes and villains Darth Vader of all time.
You’re 100% right.
For the rest of you guys?
CABOT-CONYERS:A New Hope’s got to be my favorite, too.
ARMSTRONG:The Empire Strikes Back.
CABOT-CONYERS: Yeah, us three are hip, and shes always like, The Empire Strikes Back!
SMITH: There isnt!
CABOT-CONYERS: It’s based on preference.
