    It doesn’t seem to be at all credible. And is strikingly similar to the Skeleton Crew one. So I think wires were crossed.

    Well it was mentioned by a mod from star wars leaks, so I woundt discount it as easily.

    Given though how much some of these leakers tend to either get wrong and/or misinterpret I'd wait for better evidence to arise that some misconduct is actually taking place than the random websites some of these leakers run before we start claiming workplace abuse is happening.

    Whenever they get their “wires crossed”, it’s usually regarding story or character details, things that spring from their own interpretation of things they’ve been told or seen glimpses of.

    That’s not what’s happening here. What’s happening here is that multiple members of the crew from The Mandalorian and Skeleton Crew who have verified themselves have spoken to MSW and Bespin Bulletin and spoken about how they’ve been mistreated, very specifically speaking ill of one particular production manager. There’s no ambiguity or confusion, people are upset over how they’ve been treated and some members have even quit production.

    Wait, there's mistreatment of crew members?

    Do we know for sure?

    The Skeleton Crew crew has a bone to pick apparently.

    I should have said the "Skeleton Crewmembers" instead.

    Ah, well, looks like the team has a skeleton in their closet. :(

    Troubling if so many SW productions are having the same or very similar issues. If accurate, something needs to be looked into ASAP.

    I'm not sure. But there have been numerous stories about how the VFX department are continuously being overworked on Marvel films.

    The production issues being reported are very concerning.
    Marvel Studios have been notorious for screwing over their vfx houses and working people half to death, but so far (AFAIK), there haven't been any such accusations against LFL - until now.

    No one should be made to work beyond capacity or feel abused in the work place. Especially not for something as trivial as a TV show. It's just entertainment; it's not worth it.

    The one thing Marvel and Lucasfilm have in common is Disney. So, hopefully it’s not as bad as has been reported, but some digging clearly needs to be done.

    Troubling yes. Not surprising. This has been par the course since the Disney acquisition under this Lucasfilm leadership.

    How did we not just look at the name "Skeleton Crew" and see the entire premise of this show has just been the VFX department's attempt at a cry for help...

    They wanted a new playground if you ask me. Without ties to what's come before.
