As most children of the Eighties I have fond memories of The Goonies, but I would be lying if I said that's the direction I desperately wanted for new Star Wars content.

I mean, after the disappointment of the sequel trilogy and many others - all Disney live-action content except Andor, Rogue One and the first two seasons of Mando I'd rate between mediocre and bad - I'm just starving for good mature, epic Star Wars content. Give me an Andor-like show set in the Old Republic with Jedi, Sith and Nick Gillard as stunt coordinator for the lightsaber battles.

HOWEVER... to be fair I will say that Skeleton Crew is okay. It's not offensive or poorly made; not obviously cheap like The Book of Boba Fett; not aimless like Season 3 of Mando; not lore-breaking like the sequels and Kenobi; not tone-deaf like the Acolyte.

Hooray?

This is basically Star Wars Goonies, a neat little story of a bunch of kids having an adventure in the Star Wars universe. The writing is decent: effects, costumes and locations look great: the whole thing has a certain charm.

I'm guessing this, similar to Andor, is a passion project for its creators and was seen as a minor side-project by the higher-ups, who did not therefore bother to get involved, which nowadays in Lucasfilm is a blessing.

So far, so good.

7,5/10.

I cannot for the life of me understand why Obi Wan and The Acolyte look cheaper than this show. From a production standpoint Skeleton Crew has been the first Star Wars show in a while that feels expansive, full and fun.

For all the lack of passion that's been felt as an audience member of Star Wars for some time, the last place I'd expect to feel this IP redeem itself was a kids series. My favourite Star Wars films/shows have always been the darker ones, Episode 5, 3, Andor, some parts of Rogue One and the Mandalorian. But Skeleton Crew captures a perspective that's been sorely missed from Star Wars - kids.

I feel a sense of wonder, adventure and stakes I've not enjoyed from this universe in some time. It's also, rather exhaustingly, the only thoughtfully directed show they've put out besides Andor and a decent handful of The Mandalorian. There's actual scenes, actual character growth, mis en scene that's telling story instead of just looking 'Star Wars.' Star Wars has always been for kids as much as adults - the irony is it took them to make a kids show remind us that basic story telling craft still exists as Disney. Please keep making shows like this for kids, and please keep making shows like Andor for adults. It's the riding the middle that's continuously tanked the tone of other entries - Obi Wan is a perfect example. It had no idea who its audience was, and committed poorly to trying to fit in everyone. Boba Fett is another example that springs to mind.

Kudos to the showrunners for bringing something fresh to Star Wars. Sure, heavily influenced by the kids on bikes era - but a fresh take in this universe joyfully received by myself and my partner.

Watched the first two episodes and while there is a clear effort to create a "goonies in space" show here, what is so wrong with that? This is a much different take on a story existing in the Star Wars universe. I enjoyed the look and feel of what a suburban town looks like in this world because we have never really seen that. The town they come from reminded me more of the neighborhood from E. T. then anything we had seen recently in shows. The 4 main characters are typical but enjoyable, they each have their clearly defined roles in the group and are acted well by the actors. The pirate vibe isn't necessarily something we have seen played out before and adds a slightly spooky element and an atmosphere of danger. If this was a movie from the 80s it would have fit right in. Enjoying it so far for the new story telling elements in the Star Wars universe, the hints of nostalgia of movies of my childhood, and the fact I can share this Star Wars experience with my kids. Well done!

I'm approaching this review cautiously, acknowledging that 'Skeleton Crew' appears to be targeted towards a younger audience. While children may enjoy it, I found the first four episodes quite underwhelming.

The story lacks depth, feeling more like a children's movie that jumps from location to location without much consequence. The war backdrop feels superficial, and the action sequences lack the impact they should have.

The acting, while not terrible, could be stronger, especially considering the caliber of some of the cast members. Even Jude Law, at times, seems to be phoning it in.

The production design is impressive, but it can't save a story that feels slow-paced and ultimately rather forgettable.

Perhaps the series improves later on, but based on my initial viewing, I remain unconvinced. Please prove me wrong!

Since I know a lot of hate will be directed towards this show because of the up-and-down of recent Star Wars, I'm happy to say that this is an up. So far...

The first 2 episodes don't tread new ground, or very original, but that's not a bother, since it delivers well on everything. The cast and their acting are great, costume/set design are probably the best we've seen since Andor, the writing, especially the hilarious banter between the kids, was good. Again, nothing new, but it's intriguing nonetheless, and I'm excited to keep watching. It gives me heavy Treasure Planet vibes.

As someone who hasn't enjoyed recent Star Wars myself, I was surprised by Skeleton Crew. I do hope that everyone slightly interested, or even upset with recent shows, gives it a chance. Don't let the "for kids," talk put you off. Star Wars is made for all, and so is this.

Although Skeleton Crew is aimed at kids to bring in the next generation of Star Wars fans, it surprisingly appeals to older viewers too. In this Star Wars series, four kids discover a buried starship in the woods on At Attin, a peaceful and prosperous planet hidden in a galaxy full of pirates, greed, and chaos. Dreaming of adventure-at least some of them-the kids accidentally activate the ship and end up lost on the far side of the galaxy. Thankfully, the ship comes with a run-down droid who helps guide them. But since the kids have lived a sheltered life, they often stumble into trouble.

While it's unmistakably Star Wars, Skeleton Crew feels like an 80s kids' adventure movie-think The Goonies-but set in space. For long-time fans, it's packed with nostalgic touches, from the gear and spaceships to the alien creatures, all reminiscent of the original trilogy. Hardcore fans will also love the many Easter eggs sprinkled throughout, which bring back fond memories of the franchise's early days.

I especially appreciated seeing younger versions of various alien species we know from past films. It makes the galaxy feel more connected, showing that some alien races are a constant presence rather than one-off appearances. There are also fun cameos, like a brief glimpse of a boy who looks like a young Kylo Ren. These little details keep you hooked and eager to spot more.

Jude Law, the biggest star in the cast, doesn't appear until the end of the second episode, so it's hard to judge the overall acting quality early on. The young actors, though less experienced, do a decent job. Two of the main kids stand out, reminding me of performances in classics like The Goonies or Stand by Me. One of the four kids is a non-human alien, which makes it tricky to evaluate their acting, and another wears a cybernetic visor that hides much of their facial expression, bringing to mind Geordi La Forge from Star Trek.

The production quality is top-notch, with Disney's budget clearly on display. The special effects are flawless, leaving nothing to criticize. However, the episodes are quite short, and the long end credits-over five minutes-feel excessive. With only eight episodes in the season, I worry the story might not progress much unless the pace picks up significantly.

Despite these concerns, Skeleton Crew has been a pleasant surprise. It's fun, nostalgic, and engaging for viewers of all ages. I'm excited to see where the story goes and glad that it offers something even for adult fans of the Star Wars universe.

I couldn't stop smiling. From the very first scene it reminded me of when I was a little kid watching Star Wars for the first time. Then starts to focus on the main characters, who remind me of me at their age, looking to the stars and seeking adventure! If you're a fan of Star Wars and grew up with adventures like Stranger Things, Goonies, and even Stand By Me, this is for you!!

You can tell they put their heart and souls into this. It is great to see a more grounded Star Wars where you can see what it's like to grow up in a galaxy far far away!! Looking forward to seeing more!!

If you're wondering if you should watch it or not, give it a shot!! Family fun show for all ages!

I can imagine how the initial pitch went like: "It'll be like The Goonies but in the Star Wars universe! We'll take the angle of kids to look into the concept, while making it interesting via elements from The Treasure Island with a visual touch of Pirates of the Carribean. Think of how Super 8 worked - a Spielberg-ish childhood fantasy!"

So much effort, so many visual details and trivia, yet, you can get bored along the way. Because Star Wars stuff is no longer being "created". It's simply being "generated" the way AI generates images. I'll be glad if this one manages to attract today's kids into the original Star Wars stories but if the question at hand is whether adults would be on board this pirate ship, not so sure here.

The Mandalorian rocks as the unique SW series that had gravitas of sort, leaning more towards Sergio Leone westerns than to cheaper space operas. The Acolyte was a betrayal to SW at the very least. Skeleton Crew is, well, neither so bright nor so demented. I don't feel like glorifying or trashing it.

But I do have some resentment with Disney's treatment of SW... They never even tried to respect and explore the essence of the concept... Rather, they turned it into a "setting" for whatever series they felt like doing. It was wrong. SW is, in and of itself, a dynamic network of valuable ideas and stories to communicate. What Disney+ had been doing is to utilise it for external agendas, concerns and pushes.

Anyways... Unlike The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew is at the very least not toxic - so far. (And I'm waiting for the great explanation to why a Jedi would need to wait for some kids to be thrown in his jail cell in order to perform his most simple trick and make the key come to him!)

So much whining about how it is a kids show. Like it;s not obvious from every trailer and promoting material that it is a Goonies in space sort of tv show. What's so bad in that? Goonies was awesome and adding space and force into it only makes it better imo. But people gotta complain i guess. This is the Star Wars fandom after all.

I, for one, love that we are getting many different shows that don't include Skywalkers in one way or another. The Star Wrs universe has much to offer that hasn't been explored yet. Some material may be bad, some may be good. You can always choose what to watch and what not.

Going back to Skeleton Crew, I am 38 and I loved it. It was fun, has a wholesome vibe in it and even some good funny lines that are not just for kids to enjoy. Also, that little elephant kid Neel is a gem. I love him!!!

I didn't like this at all. Big red flags when the first episode seems to just depict a sci-fi version of the USA down to even having the same rows of lockers in school. Isn't this supposed to be an alien society? Couldn't they try a little harder to depict this setting?

This is the opposite of imaginative. It didn't transport me into a fantastical adventure - it just feels like a committee created this in a sterile lab. It feels like a product, not a creative vision.

At this point it really just feels like they're desperate to try to wring every drop of profit out of the Star Wars setting.

Shame.

From the previews I thought this was going to be terrible. I have only watched the first episode and was amazed at how enjoyable it was. I have high hopes for this one. Sort of Star Wars in the style of Spielberg. It might be intended for kids, but I still enjoy this style of story telling at my advanced age. The first episode was fun and engaging, and flowed well, and it didn't take itself too seriously. There is even a little social commentary. So far it's the second best series behind Endor, but that might change upon watching more episodes. I think this series is a good direction for the Disney/Star Wars combo.

I think the series is great so far, but there is one problem that really annoys me: the running time. When I saw the first episode, I was so happy that it was about 40 minutes long. Then came episode two: if you include the flashback and the credits, it's not even 25 minutes. If I get 25 minutes of the series every week, I have to watch what happened the week before last. As soon as you can't really lose yourself in the universe, you've warmed up to it, it's already over. Incredibly unsatisfying! I'm probably not going to watch it for months and try to avoid all spoilers so that I can see the whole thing next year. As for the actors: my God, they're children. It's clear that they didn't have years of acting training. Nevertheless, the protagonists are likeable, the music fits and the action isn't too child-friendly. After two episodes, I'm excited to see what happens next, but unfortunately I won't find out until next year.

I expected more, considering the nice score from here and the good reviews.

This is boring even for teenagers, I guess the real target is kids up to 12yo.

Everything is politically correct, no real violence, no one is terrified, all are gentle and brave, all are smart, all have weaknesses but these are transformed in strengths and the bad guy have a good heart.

Let's not talk about the plot, it so unplausible that it make me cringe.

Jude Law has a nice role, special effects are kept at low level as things needs to look as peaceful as possible.

Probably this is very nice for kids but for an adult, even for fans I wouldn't recommend.

Among so many Star Wars products, it is always good to have a change of register and forms.

With "Acolyte" this did not work, although its bases were very interesting.

I think that "Skeleton Crew" is a little different.

It draws heavily from the classics of the 80's such as "The Goonies", "ET" among others, both in the lightness of the tone, and the public to which it is directed. Perhaps for that reason, this series has had greater acceptance than other previous products: it is aimed at children and nostalgic adults.

As a season, it works well, simply, it does not stand out much in terms of effects, or script. It is the story of a group of children and a space adventure that takes them to places never thought of.

Its strength is there, in the 4 main characters and their dynamic with Jod.

I feel that the series gains momentum and improves until its last two chapters where everything previously raised is resolved in a quick and even absurd way.

They take a lot of liberties with the CGI in that ending, which is quite a contrast to what was previously presented.

All this to top it off with a rather abrupt and insipid ending that lowers the score of the season quite a bit.

We'll see if a new season is confirmed or not. Everything will depend on the final numbers of the series.

Beyond that, I celebrate that they are trying to do new things in Star Wars and it doesn't depend so much on the Skywalkers. However, except for Andor, I think that this has not been achieved successfully.

I love star wars, but just after 5 minutes in i felt like I was watching a show based in California but made to look like it was in " a galaxy far far away" I'm gonna give it a shot and watch it all the way through but I'm already expecting the worst....no where close to acolyte but it's feeling that way. I get the premise of kids exploring and trying to capture the younger generations, but this was so hard to digest just from the beginning. Once it started I felt like I was watching a show that should have commercial breaks from the 80s. I'm not one to ever write reviews but I just had to say something about this. I expect to get horrible feedback and bashing from what I have written but just felt I needed to say something from a fan from the original trilogy who has never given up.

I've been putting off writing this one for a little while as I wanted to make sure I'd thought through what I wanted to say. This is because, whilst "Skeleton Crew" takes on a lot of the ideas I think that the franchise overall should do, I didn't love it.

At Attin is a remote planet, hidden from the rest of the galaxy by an artificial barrier that protects it from curious starships. Four Children, Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), KB, Kyriana Kratter and Neel (Kacie Borrowman/Robert Timothy Smith) discover what they believe to be a Jedi Temple. However, it's actually a downed and overgrown star ship - which they accidentally use to blast off into hyperspace. Unable to locate their home planet, and in a universe that believes its existence to be a myth, the kids are lucky to stumble across Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) a force user, who offers to help get them home.

I think that "Star Wars" should perhaps take a leaf out of "Star Trek's" book and produce stories that don't - even tangentially revolve around the Skywalker family. The world, the infrastructure, is built, it seems like madness to me not to use it. Even acknowledging that, for once, this series is designed to bring a new and younger audience into the world, and not for jaded old nostalgia hunters like me, I thought this was fine overall but occasionally struggled to hold my attention. I wonder if I'd have preferred an opened ended, touring the galaxy, opus - rather than the fairly contained story we get here.

I liked the performances from all concerned, and the set pieces when they occur are good - and I particularly enjoyed how the series was essentially "Treasure Island" in space. The child actors, who can often make or break a series like this, are good and there are several excellent vocal cameos.

I suspect that my real feeling is that this would have made a really good movie, if it had been honed down to under two hours, but in terms of 2024 Star Wars series, I think I preferred "The Acolyte".

This show is perfect for kids. Don't listen to the cranky millennials and Gen x reviewing the show. 80s vibe like stranger things, has mystery, adventure, pirates, everything kids will love!

The adult main character (I think he will be the main character) is one of my favorite actors. He's never let me down before, I'm sure it's going to be great!

To be honest, this is a refreshing change. I haven't liked much star wars stuff Disney has put out lately. Andor was good.. And I'm not sure whatever happened to the mandolirian. The show makes be feel like a kid again and I hope it only gets better.

Short review ------

This is heavily influenced by the 80s film, The Goonies. It takes that idea and incorporates it into the Star Wars world. Pirates and Star Wars. The series does touch on a few new revelations about the universe but not enough to wow. It is intriguing for a little while but the last episode is a major let down.

All in all, it's half hour episodes you could get lost in to kill time but don't expect a satisfactory conclusion. One that is definitely aimed for children but alas dumbs down a lot for the adults.

Long review ------

The introduction of Jude Law adds interest to a highly influenced Goonies reimagining. The plot is completely different to that film but the idea of kids, pirates, danger and treasure are all here.

There are some interesting characters but in the end, the script just goes into cliches and the last episode is a major let down.

The adventure elements are fun. Some of the cliffhangers are good. The kids are reasonable actors with the parents feeling somewhat redundant in the whole thing.

It feels like a kids introduction to Star Wars but without anything one could really fix upon. It is a kids show so as an adult perhaps I am not quite relating to it but the best children's films and shows are those that work on both levels. A level to which children can engage with and enough to see a grown up version of that same world.

Unfortunately, this doesn't land.

The biggest let down is the last episode. Having invested the time to watch 7 episodes and with quite a big cliffhanger at the end of that 7th episode, to then be left with the last episode which fails to fulfill its ambition is a major letdown.

That last episode is so exposition heavy that it just feels like the plot of some daytime soap with CGI. Characters tell you what is happening and what is about to happen. The level of danger just fizzles out. And everything is concluded with a neat bow and potential for a second series (will this be a hit in Disney+ or will it not? Will Jude Law be coming back or not? Were his wages justified?).

It's an adventure but lacking compared to what the equivalent 80s versions used to provide.

This won't be memorable in the Star Wars canon unfortunately.

That last episode is too weak to carry this.

Pity, it did have potential....for a while.

I love this show. It captures the child like sense of adventure the original trilogy had more than anything since. It's also broadly accessible to a family audience without pandering too much to either. It's firmly sits in the adventure space where the stakes feel real and the danger palpable. It also just FEELS like the team putting it together 'get' what makes Star Wars so exciting. I honestly am so pleasantly surprised by this series and can't wait to see where it takes us. Hats off to the team behind it, you've found a great cast here and there's room for them to grow into their roles as they age. Bravo!

This is not a terrible series like the Acolyte. Still while Skeleton Crew had potential to be top level Star Wars, it failed.

The star of the show is Jude Law. His story is the most interesting in the series. His companions and their world are more interesting than anything else in the show.

The kids introduce the audience to the world of Jude Law. It needed to be clear that the character played by Jude Law and his companions would continue.

Instead the last two episodes are a major letdown. The cliched ending is filled with moments which make no logical sense all to push aside the Jude Law character.

The series has not been approved for a season 2. I can see why. There is no set up for Jude Law, the star. I was thinking this series could be an ongoing Star Wars pirate adventure. But the last two episodes ended any chance of that.

First off, this show is undoubtedly made with mainly children viewers in mind, which is perfectly fine-after all, The Clone Wars was primarily for kids and remains one of my favorite Star Wars series. However, unfortunately in the case of Skeleton Crew, this show sacrifices logic and character consistency to ensure its young protagonists can keep the plot moving.

It is utterly disappointing, when a clearly plain and straightforward situation abruptly changes simply because the writers "need" the main characters to go on with their story, completely disregarding the competency of other characters and, at times, common sense. Unfortunately, this happens frequently in Skeleton Crew.

Our main characters are "spoiled children", as mentioned and shown in the series. They seemingly have absolutely no chance to solve problems set in the wild and hostile worlds of the Star Wars universe. And as it turns out, they don't - the resolutions often come from either an established rule of the universe suddely changing, or another character with an established set of skills suddenly becoming an incompetent idiot. Both happen without explanation, which is not only super frustrating, but also undermines any sense of accomplishment in the main characters' growth.

I won't go into specifics, as this issue applies to nearly every major complication in the plot. However, the sheer absurdity reaches its peak in the final sequences inside the tower, which feel more like a clown show than a climactic resolution.

Despite these flaws, I still gave it four stars. The visuals and music are as stunning as any Star Wars production, Jude Law delivers a fantastic performance as always, and if you can somehow manage to shut your brain off, there's some entertainment to be found.

This is a Star Wars show mostly for kids heavily inspired by old Disney movies for children like Treasure Island. Unfortunately, the show has little of theose movies' rugged charm or innocent sense of adventure. Most of the show is carried by Jude Law's rock-solid acting performance as the mystery man of questionable motives and morals. Along the way we meet a bunch of pirates, a cute owl alien, a couple of space ships (including some X-wings) and a scruffy android who talks like a first mate from a pirate ship.

Ah, yes, there's a bunch of kids in there, too. They accidentaly leave their planet, fly around in a space ship and get home again.

The entire show is so completely inoffensive and devoid of anything even remotely challenging the viewers' mental capacities that it passes by in a muffled blur. It's neither bad nor good. It's just there and then it's over.

I have not watched many of the new shows that have come from Disney. The only shows that I have watched are Andor and Ahsoka which I have both enjoyed. This show is different from both of those shows but so far it is great. I am enjoying the 80s feel with some cool and fun easter eggs such as the Holiday Special. I also find the kid actors to be pretty good when compared to the actors that were in the Phantom Menace. The only aspect of the show that I am concerned about is the run time, which seems to have plagued many modern shows. I am hoping that going forward we do not get any more of the 20 minute episodes which ruin the pacing for me.
