After the Star Wars: The Acolyte series, and while waiting for the return of The Mandalorian and the next episodes of the Ahsoka series, Disney is not letting up on the accelerator and continues to expand the universe imagined by George Lucas. Initially, Star Wars: The Skeleton Crew left us fearing the worst, especially since the communication was rather discreet… However, it fully deserved to be in the spotlight: the first opinions are unanimous against it and its rating global takes off!
The Star Wars saga plays The Goonies in this ultimate family series!
As surprising as it may seem, it is sometimes the most discreet series which ultimately make the most noise. Recently, we started to hear very positive feedback about the new series. Star Wars from Disney+: Skeleton Crew. For our part, we were able to watch the first three episodes in advance. This is also why we published our review of this burst of episodes yesterday, insisting on the fact that Star Wars seemed unrecognizable in this new live-action adaptation which, in reality, owes a lot to Steven Spielberg.
No, George Lucas' eternal friend did not actively participate in the project but we feel that the creators of the series grew up with the film The Gooniesproduced and screenwriter by Steven Spielberg. For now, Disney+ subscribers can only enjoy the first two episodes. For the other six remaining, you will have to come back every Wednesday until January 15. Although we cannot judge the series in its entirety at this time, the first reviews on the web already praise this new creation. She might be luckier than The Acolytecanceled after just one season…

The reviews for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew are rave, but there are slight problems!
Since the reviews were lifted and the first two episodes aired, the recommendation score of Star Wars : The Skeleton Crew on the site Rotten Tomatoes took off, both among the press and the public. With 63 reviews listed and over 250 audience reviews, the series Skeleton Crew reached 95% and 87% recommendations. If we look in detail, some critics emphasize the nostalgic and family qualities of this atypical Star Wars series, even if the series fails on certain points. Diego Batlle describes the series as “ pleasant and friendly » although a little « generic », evoking classics like E.T. or The Goonies. Laura Sirikul believes that it reflects “ exactly what George Lucas imagined for this universe “, that's to say accessible to all and family oriented.
However, other impressions offset the positive reviews the series received Skeleton Crew. For example, Lupe Rodriguez Haas points out that the first episodes “ lack direction ”, although the third begins to pose a more coherent plot. That being said, Disney can congratulate itself and it is Joonatan Itkonen who sums it up perfectly by explaining that it is the series “ the funniest in years ». For those who were intrigued by these returns, Star Wars : Skeleton Crewcreated by Jon Watts and Christopher Ford, follows the adventures of a quartet of children lost in the galaxy after an exceptional discovery on their planet. Setting off on an initiatory and touching journey, they will meet a mysterious character, Jod Na Nawood (Lude Law), sensitive to the Force, who will help them overcome dangers.
