I'm in my 50's and I really enjoyed Skeleton Crew! It was really fun and entertaining and I thought the story was pretty good. I guess I'm more of a fair weather Star Wars fan as I'm not steeped in the lore as the hardcore fans are so I've pretty much have enjoyed all the Disney + series so far, some more than others, but I've never thought any of them were bad (and yes that includes the Acolyte) maybe I'm just a unicorn hahaha. I've really enjoyed the family reactions and look forward to your guys reaction to season 2 of Andor! Best wishes to the family!
Well said, agreed with everything you’ve said about Skeleton Crew. THIS is the Star Wars I think people have been waiting for. I’ve enjoyed every Star Wars show, but not every Star Wars thing is going to be amazing or even something everyone loves. To me, every Star Wars show and movie, regardless of whether it’s the best Star Wars thing or the absolute worst, ALWAYS have moments of pure Star Wars JOY! Some just have a little more than others. Just how I feel about it Skeleton Crew had the joy and heart and wonder and fun that we all want from Star Wars. I hope more people watch and we get another adventure with this awesome group of characters
Have you watched Nezha 2019??? If you haven't tried watching it yet, it's really exciting even though it's the debut film from a director who works as a doctor, but it's really cool!!! Plus the sequel Nezha 2 will be broadcast for Chinese New Year on January 29 2025
Big Papa Smolz! Great video. I appreciated the Jimmy Mack/RFR/ Star Wars Oxygen shout out. The pirates’ music was really memorable to me. SC was real Star Wars and a great show! The channel keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work.
I was not going to watch but was bored the other night and decided to start the series. Wow, what a surprise! Visually stunning, super refreshing, and an absolute joy! I love Star Wars so much and I think at this point I will continue to give every project at least one shot. Thanks for the review and may the force be with you!
Love the focus and detail in this review, and I agree with the positive and enthusiastic summary of this entertaining show! Hoping there's a season 2, but if it's a one and done, then I'll still remember it fondly! Hope the powers that be take note of why this worked so well! Great job, sir!
There was a flashback scene filmed that involved Jod’s Jedi master. Yasmine Al Massri is the actress who played the character. Her scene was obviously deleted, but maybe we’ll see it at some point
At 65, I mostly agree with your assessment of the show with the exception of the music. The music for me was compelling, so piratey (if that's a word) and the end credit music got stuck in my head day and night. I guess you will realize that upon rewatch I loved this show so much that I looked for every reaction to this and just about everyone agreed that it was a great show and yes it is Star Wars. May the force be with you.
Love this show and your review. Totally feel the same. And there's no such thing as "looks like Star Wars" when the original series and the sequels, for example, look entirely different. The key is to honor the lore and the original purpose of Star Wars, which is about adventure, hope and heroism. Skeleton Crew does that incredibly well.
C-C-Can't say I remember no At-Attin! I went with no expectations in this show, the trailer wasn't hyping me up... but I like this so show so much and it's directly behind MandoS2 and Andor for me. Loved the mystery behind their homeplanet and in general the story, loved the pirates and I think that the actors did a great job. The Pirates Theme and SM-33 Theme are so cool. Rest of music was cool, nothing really special, but very nice to hear. SM-33 was a highlight for me, probably my new top droid.
Skeleton Crew is everything Star Wars was originally designed to be. I loved the show. The whole family can watch together, something you can't do with shows like Andor and Acolyte. More of Skeleton Crew please Disney. Not everyone wants grittier Star Wars. Would love to see Neel and Grogu together at some point.
Hope theres season 2. Id like to see more of Jod, as i feel his character was way open ended. That being said i liked all the star wars by disney some a little less than others. For example i like the acolyte, i thought the story was intriguing and so does the character of jedi master sol. The saber fight was cool and his use of the force during the fight was also cool. As for SC it had the feel of goonies and i loved goonies as a kid.
I think you'll change your mind about the music when you re-watch the show on your own. I was really impressed by the composer. While admittedly not creating any particular themes, he really did a fantastic job of capturing the mood of the scenes. I think he really contributed to giving us the original Star Wars feeling almost subconsciously. Maybe because you and the family were reacting (i mean, that's the show!) or speaking during the scenes without dialog, you might have missed some of the music's impact? Anyways, it really gave me the original series vibes, without copying it at all.

This show will appeal to kids, teens and adults that haven't lost there childhood like wonder. I loved this show and funny that the shows that dont have legacy characters are the ones i like the most because it feels like they put in effort! with the exception of the Acyolte, interesting premise but poorly executed.

63 year old Star Wars kid here. Smols Dad hit the nail directly on the head with his analysis here. 👍🏽

Can't wait for Andor Season 2 and your reactions

Well said, I will add a few more viewership clicks for the shows benefit on re-watches

I loved it.
These kids could easily become the next episodes of sw or a spinoff in their own mini universe
I'm a big Star Wars fan since 77 so yeah I loved it Skeleton Crew Crimson Jack hehe
Season 1 made me want a season 2
