Critics Consensus

Evoking childlike wonder, Skeleton Crew is a swashbuckling Star Wars adventure that refreshingly keeps things simple.

Whether Skeleton Crew will devolve into redundancy and needless exposition or be canceled before it reaches a satisfying conclusion... is anyone’s guess. But whether you’re a longtime fan or completely new to Star Wars, it’s worth sticking around to see.

By rights, this thing should be Gen Alpha’s joy and memory stain, but it’s a work that belongs to both everyone and nobody. Which is a shame.

For anyone who says the House That Lucas Built is out of ideas and has been picked clean, “Skeleton Crew” proves there’s still meat left on those bones.

It's nice to have a break from the greater saga, which makes Skeleton Crew a refreshing and unique viewing experience.

A series full of the charm of adventure series and movies that we devoured as children and adults. [Full review in Spanish]

The Upcoming

Skeleton Crew isn’t reinventing wheel for either sci-fi or family-friendly adventures. However, its pirate-based approach to the Star Wars universe is enough to spark some new life into the long-running franchise.

Rated: 4/5

Finally something palatable from Lucasfilms/Disney! This is a phenomenal show that plays into nostalgia (in a good way). The show doesn’t go over the top in reference to the events of the films and is great as a stand alone show. The acting of the kids is not annoying or lack luster and they give off true essence of kids vibes. If you like goonies or super 8 you will love the way the kids act.

It’s really bad. The characters are boring. The storytelling is awful. It’s a bad star wars version of the Goonies.

Show more targeted towards the kiddies and misses the ingredients found in the other Star Wars carve outs like Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and Andor (personal fav). The elephant head child character should be a give away! At best it is mildly engaging for the average star wars franchise enthusiast.

Star Wars TV series have been a bit of a mixed bag, with Mandalorian (1&2) and Andor being highlights, a bunch of mid-level content, and at least one dud. This series is amongst the best that have been released. Fun, light, and exciting, it wears its "ET/Goonies/Explorers set in in Star Wars" on its sleeve, with a heavy dose of Treasure Island to go along with it - and it all comes together perfectly. I'm not normally a huge fan of kid characters, but this series plays them right. There are a few design choices I question (ie; the suburbia planet) but the overall quality of the series makes these minor quibbles. There are two more episodes to come at the time of this writing, and I fully expect it to finish on the same high notes that the series has held throughout.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
