New ‘Star Wars’ Show “Skeleton Crew” Lost in Space
It’s no secret that the world of Star Wars can sometimes be confusing, but the latest addition to the franchise, Skeleton Crew, is definitely a head-scratcher. This new Disney+ streaming series, co-created by Jon Watts of Spider-Man fame, takes viewers on a wild ride through space with a group of adventurous kids.
The show kicks off with a bang, featuring an intense space battle that might be a bit much for young viewers. However, after the first few episodes, the storyline settles into more familiar children’s entertainment territory, following young Wim and his alien friend Neel as they embark on a mysterious adventure.
One of the most intriguing characters in the series is Jod Na Nawood, played by Jude Law, who adds an element of mystery and excitement to the show. His appearance, reminiscent of Lando Calrissian and young Han Solo, keeps viewers guessing about his true intentions and background.
But here’s the catch – Law’s character doesn’t make a prominent appearance until the third episode of the season, leaving the first two episodes feeling a bit lackluster. While the show picks up when he arrives on the scene, the earlier episodes may require a bit of patience to get through.
Overall, Skeleton Crew is a mixed bag, with moments that are both too dark for kids and too simple for adult audiences. While it may not be perfect, the series offers a unique take on the Star Wars universe and is worth checking out for fans looking for something new and different.
The first two episodes of Skeleton Crew are set to premiere on Disney+ on December 3, with new episodes airing weekly. So buckle up and get ready for an adventure in a galaxy far, far away!
