The crews actually wear Gen 2 X-33, not Skywalker. Just sayin' :)
But I used to own a Skywalker X-33, and also Gen 1 and 2 X-33. I ended up selling the Skywalker but kept the Gen 1 and 2.
My personal preference would be the Gen 2 > Gen 1 > Skywalker.
To keep it simple about the Skywalker. Its an awesome watch, wear quite well for the size and similar to Gen 1 and 2 (even though its a bigger watch on paper). I still don't quite understand how to use the phase timer. LOL
Skywalker definitely felt better put together, more solid (not that Gen 1 and 2 feel filmsy). But the Skywalker felt like a more expensive watch (which it is).
My complains with the Skywalkers are
(1) The date format is DDMMYYYY, and not configurable. Not great for NA users. (interestingly, its configurable in Z-33)
(2) The 12 hr marking on the bezel is difficult to identify in some lighting situation
(3) The LCD cannot be turned manually (it will turn itself off after 4 or 5 days of being inactive)
To keep it into a few words, that's my impression with the Skywalker. :D
