The latest show out of the Lucasfilm galaxy is Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. The family adventure harkens back to the nostalgia of 80s classics like The Goonies and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. After eight action-packed episodes, Skeleton Crew ended this week with an explosive finale.

Skeleton Crew had an uphill battle in front of it. When the teaser trailer first dropped, the diehard Star Wars “fans” decried it because it had lawns and suburbia and those weren’t Star Wars. These are the same people who complained about the bricks in Andor,

In interviews before the show’s debut, the duo explained that their goal was to return Star Wars to its roots, focusing on family-friendly narratives and creating something that children and adults alike could enjoy.

Skeleton Crew episode 6, "Zero Friends Again," was an exciting entry in the series, released on the last day of 2024.

This episode in particular feels like a roll of double-exposed film, where someone accidentally filmed The Goonies or an Indiana Jones movieon top of an episode of The White Lotus, starring various big ugly creatures taking mudbaths.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is related to other Disney+ Star Wars properties such as The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka!

Jon Watts and Christopher Ford talk about making Jude Law's character a villain… and if we may see him and the rest of the gang again.

In its final episode, Skeleton Crew sticks the landing with lots of action and some genuinely tense moments, but its answers are limited.
