Star Wars: Skeleton Crew premiered on Disney+ back at the beginning of the month, and the show, which takes place during the New Republic Era, has not shied away from referencing the prequels. In the premiere episode of the series, an endearing piece of creative slang was used that first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. When Anakin shows off his podracer to a friend ahead of the Boonta Eve race, the friend replies by saying, โThis is so wizard, Ani.โ The groan-worthy attempt at unique slang has now become endearing to the generation of fans that grew up watching the film.
In the premiere of Skeleton Crew, Wim says the same thing about the hoverbike ridden by his soon-to-be cohort, Fern. He tells her that the bike is โtotally wizard,โ proving that the slang from Tatooine has persisted throughout the galaxy.
