Star Wars: Skeleton Crew

Skeleton Crew has a stunning variety of aliens and showcases all sorts of weird little guys that are imaginatively designed. With the franchise usually being rather human-centric, it’s great to see this show capture the magic of seeing the Mos Eisley Cantina sequence for the first time. The dynamic between Fern and Wim is fantastic

With a collection of assured directors, a cast of fine young actors, and Jude Law as the material’s untrustworthy swashbuckler, it’s a family affair which captures some of that old far, far away magic.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is beautifully-made and sweetly innocent, making it a radically rebellious take on a franchise that sometimes seems lost in its own lore.

It's a series trying very hard to walk the line between good old-fashioned kid movie fun and genuine "Star Wars" galaxy-building, and so far at least, it's doing it quite well.

The journey to whatever destination remains in store has already earned the benefit of the doubt. In the meantime, "Skeleton Crew" is a breath of fresh air, thanks to the kids leading the way.

This is a perfectly fun entry in the ever-expanding Star Wars canon: light and frothy by design, driven by a genuinely sweet cast of younglings at the fore. After three episodes, it’s still finding its footing, but there’s promise here. 

Honestly, let’s bring back the era of pilots that need to be green-lit before an entire season of television is made. Because you can be 100% assured if “Skeleton Crew” was created for HBO, FX, or any company that actually understands TV and makes it on the regular, it would not get a series order, would either go back to the drawing board and be rehauled or just not move forward and get blasted out of existence like Alderaan. The Force is not with this one…at all, sadly.

Memorable characters, hilarious and thrilling hijinks, and NO SKYWALKERS IN SIGHT. This show had shockingly good flavor and really sold the Amblin entertainment feel in Star Wars’ world without having to tie itselfsooo heavily to what came before. Can’t recommend this enough.

Watchable. A different take on star wars. Predictable. Feels like it is meant more for teenagers or younger. I agree with people saying its Goonies meets Stars Wars. Just a worse Goonies and just a worse Star Wars.

per quanto faccia parte dell'universo di Star Wars e ne siano presenti molti elementi caratteristici, ho davvero faticato in tutti e 8 gli episodi a ritrovare il fascino e l'impronta tipici dei film e delle serie di Star Wars. mi è sembrato di aver visto qualcosa che non c’entrasse con il classico e magnifico universo di Star Wars e per fortuna nulla di quello che accade ha ricadute sulla bella narrazione originale, cosicché si possa considerare una lontana storia a parte, brevemente conclusasi

As soon as the guy chambered a bullet(?) in his blaster at the very start of episode 1 it was over. Same awful, lazy crafting we have seen in almost everything Star Wars Disney has produced. Really it’s just the worst, lowest form of entertainment. Cheap sci fi that definitely isn’t Star Wars. If they weren’t trying to simply use the Star Wars name to make money you could totally pass this off as fun sci fi for kids, but sadly Disney refuses to let it go.

Any 'Star Wars' gets a pass with me. However, this is an odious, pandering, overly-cute waste of special effects. There is barely a plot, and what plot there is has been rehashed and reheated in dozens if not hundreds of Star Wars tropes. I am a bit of a completionist and rarely turn off a show or movie if I've started it, especially sci-fi. I wanted to turn this off in the middle of episode 4, but my wife wanted to see it. Ugh, yawn.
