Season 1 Review:
It’s a “Star Wars” show about pirates — explorers tied to nothing and reporting to no one, their ship not even restricted by gravity. Its proverbial mainsail should be untethered, and this “Skeleton Crew” should be free to explore unseen, unheard of, and unimaginable new worlds.

Season 1 Review:
Aside from the prevailing “toys are for babies” opinion of Wim’s father and peers, Skeleton Crew hasn’t fully fleshed out exactly why Wim’s Jedi adoration is seen as so uncool. .... Regardless, that approach is at least a change of pace from the rest of Skeleton Crew, which with its by-the-numbers scenes of kids riding bikes, bickering, and growing together feels derivative of the similarly Amblin-influenced Stranger Things a little too often.

Season 1 Review:
There are some plot ideas that could pay off in interesting ways, and while Jedi are, as always, a reference point, there’s a refreshing lack of Skywalkers or overt references to anything else from the films outside the setting. But all of these assets are buried under one problem: this is a premise that doesn’t know how to be a TV show yet.

Season 1 Review:
Honestly, let’s bring back the era of pilots that need to be green-lit before an entire season of television is made. Because you can be 100% assured if “Skeleton Crew” was created for HBO, FX, or any company that actually understands TV and makes it on the regular, it would not get a series order, would either go back to the drawing board and be rehauled or just not move forward and get blasted out of existence like Alderaan. The Force is not with this one…at all, sadly.
