Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy.. The holographic circus that is entertaining Neel's young siblings is the same one Chewbacca's family watched in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)..
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. 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 puts you off.
