The first initial reactions were striking for the imminent Star Wars: The Skeleton Crew sci-fi/fantasy adventure series, critics and fans seem to love them!
Skeleton crew it’s a The Goonies-Amblin inspired style Star Wars series that follows the journey of four boys “who make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, then get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy, crossing paths with the likes of Jod Na Nawood, the mysterious character played by Law.
“Finding their way home and encountering unlikely allies and enemies will be an adventure greater than they ever imagined.”
The series is said to capture “the spirit of The Goonie to deliver a fun, kid-focused Star Wars adventure.” The show is also described as a “love letter to ’80s children’s adventure films”.
Another description says it has “adventurous ’80s Amblin vibes with a hint of Mando.” The praise continues, but it actually looks like this show could be a really cool Star Wars show to watch and enjoy!
The show’s co-creator Chris Ford had previously explained that Skeleton crew children think of Jedi as fairytale characters: “We wanted to include the idea that these kids had heard of Jedi and stories of good versus evil in the same way that on our planet we have fairy tales or stories of King Arthur of the Knights of the Round Table”.
The series was created by Jon Watts (Spider-Man) and is also the protagonist Ravi Cabot-Conyers, Kyriana KratterAND Robert Timothy Smith.
The episodes of the show will be directed by Bryce Dallas Howard, The Daniels, David Lowery, Jake SchreierAND Lee Isaac Chung. The Mandalorian’S Jon Favreau AND Dave Filoni will be the executive producer.
The series debuts today, Monday December 2nd!
Jon Watts’ #SkeletonCrew it’s a blast. The series effortlessly captures the spirit of The Goonies to deliver fun, kid-focused entertainment #Star Wars adventure. It’s an energetic and fun story that expands the sandbox with its lighthearted tone.

The first two episodes of #SkeletonCrew they are so fun! Think 80s Amblin adventure vibes with a hint of early Mando. However, it is true that the first episode takes a while to get into action. I would really do anything for Neel – what an absolute sweetheart! 💫 pic.twitter.com/iUt70Ctc2f

The first two episodes of #SkeletonCrew recaptures the magic of the Amblin films of the 80s. It’s the franchise at its most family-friendly, embracing its silliness alongside a wonderful sense of adventure. A brilliant one #Star Wars introduction for all the young people in the audience. pic.twitter.com/kbMUi68Umw

We can tweet about #SkeletonCrew? It’s nice to have a sense of wonder in the STAR WARS universe. Having children at the center if that helps a lot. pic.twitter.com/gYEbBmTpC3

The first 3 episodes of #SkeletonCrew they are very funny. It’s exactly what you’d expect from the trailers – Goonies in space – but the kids aren’t annoying (my biggest concern), Jude Law gives a good rogue, and Nic Frost’s droid is hilarious.
Also there’s this guy. pic.twitter.com/tFuLC0bA0t

I saw the first 3 episodes of #Star Wars #SkeletonCrew. It’s a fun 80’s style adventure. Don’t expect Andor; these are children lost in space! Set expectations for Goonies/ET vibes. It’s really funny and Jude Law is fabulous! It takes me back to a simpler Star Wars… pic.twitter.com/SUjuL3glMN
