We are only a week away from the next Star Wars streaming show. I’m sure it will be ripped apart and ridiculed by TFM. They can’t help themselves but watch something they hate just so they can complain about it online. I plan to watch it with an open mind and complete enjoyment. Before the series starts I’d like to take a moment to set expectations for Skeleton Crew.
This series takes place five years after Return of the Jedi; at about the same time as The Mandalorian. Since this show takes place during “the Mandoverse”, it’s possible we may see some of these characters again in upcoming projects (i.e. Mandalorian & Grogu). The series stars Jude Law and has the essence of The Goonies in space so I think it might appeal to us GenXers. I get the impression that this show will be tailored toward a much younger audience. It won’t be as dark and foreboding as the other series. We will probably see more witty characters and the occasional silly gaffe to entertain the younger generation.
I do expect to see some “fan service” for the older generations of fans in the form of cameos and Easter eggs. I’ll try to provide episodic recaps to help point out those fun moments.
The Skeleton Crew will be 8 episodes with the first two premiering December 2nd (was December 3rd) at 6pm PT on Disney+
