It’s The Goonies meets Treasure Island in the best Disney+ Star Wars series since The Mandalorian
Plot:
The journey of four kids who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home—and meeting unlikely allies and enemies—will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined.
Review:
Set after the events of Return of the Jedi in the same period as The Mandalorian, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew has been promoted as a series in the tradition of Amblin projects like The Goonies, Gremlins, and Back to the Future. Aiming to recapture the childlike adventure and spirit of the 1980s films of Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and more, Skeleton Crew is a fantastic and unique foray into the world of Star Wars that is far different from what we have seen in the Disney-era of Lucasfilm. While we have seen Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni mine nostalgia for George Lucas’ films and expansions featuring Ahsoka Tano as well as the one-and-done foray into The High Republic-era with The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew offers the first kid-centric Star Wars project but without being a project for children. Solid action and practical effects elevate Skeleton Crew into an exciting and refreshing addition to Star Wars that mines the franchise’s mythology without regurgitating the same formula.
