In reviews, critics note that the show will be a great choice for family viewing and does not require additional knowledge of the universe. Below are a few direct quotes:
Lewis Glaserbrook, Screen Rant: “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” delves into the story of galaxy pirates, featuring an engaging cast, touching plot, and many mysteries.”
Ed Power, Daily Telegraph: “Disney has created such a flawed tapestry of Star Wars that it would take more than a magical children’s show to get it back on track. But ‘Skeleton Crew’ succeeds on its own terms as a wild ‘Spielbergian frenzy’.”
Daniel Baptista, The Movie Podcast: “‘Skeleton Crew’ is an adventure about growing up, filled with wonder and classic Star Wars magic. Jon Watts offers a new generation of heroes for fans to look up to. And it will make you fall in love with Star Wars all over again.”
Julian Roman, MovieWeb: “‘Skeleton Crew’ hits the right note, using familiar elements. It borrows heavily from 80’s children’s classics for kid’s adventures with heavy pirate themes. Viewers will feel a familiar atmosphere of Spielberg and Zemeckis.”
