Finally a great Star wars show!


I’m a naysayer and I’d given up on Star Wars after the horrible trilogy, the awful book of boba, the so-so ahsoka. Andor was a mature show but soooo slow.

Skipped Acolyte and Obiwan and season 3 of Mando.

I didn’t expect anything from Skeleton Crew. “Goonies in space, blah blah blah.” But some of the reviews were surprisingly good, even from usually harsh Youtube critics, so I gave it a shot.

Wow, it is so much fun! At last, a Star Wars show that is a blast and adventurous and non-preachy. The characters are relatable and 3-dimensional. For the first time in ages, I relived a sense of the awe and glee that came from watching Star Wars in my youth.

I admit I’d lost confidence in Star Wars Disney. But Skeleton Crew is the BEST SW anything that Disney has created streaming. Give it a try. Take a leap of faith, and you can thank me later. At long last the SW brand has a glimmer of…hope!

I am enjoying watching it with my 12 year old. I believe it is all about expectations. Going in we were aware that it is "Goonies in Space" so when we get it, we aren't disappointed. Book of Boba has been the most disappointing as it should have been a more grittier show.
