This Could Be a Real Adventure

I think Skeleton Crew is unlike anything we've seen in the movies or other series, and I believe it's a great idea. Star Wars needs strong productions after several questionable works, and this series has great potential. However, we shouldn't place too much responsibility on it to restore our hope in Star Wars.

The target audience is kids, but I think the writers will guide us on an adventure in the galaxy that will captivate every Star Wars fan.

In the first scenes, I noticed a lot of CGI, which, in some cases, didn't look great. However, in others, it worked well, especially in the design of Neel. Regarding the characters, I really like them, and I think they have great potential, both in the series and for the cast's individual careers.

As I mentioned, we shouldn't place too much responsibility on this series to revive the hope of fans in the Star Wars universe-after all, the main characters are kids. Let's support them and see where this journey takes us!

A very promising start to a series that feels like a Star Wars take on Stranger Things meets Lost in Space. The characters are intriguing, especially the kids, ranging from rule-followers to the mischievous ones.

I appreciated how the story transports viewers to a new planet, At Atine, which feels completely different from anything we've seen in Star Wars so far. It resembles the suburbs of a major city, with advanced technology yet untouched by the wars and destruction that have plagued places like Tatooine or Coruscant. At Atine is quiet, somewhat sleepy, and residential, yet futuristic, featuring functioning schools and a sense of law and order during the New Republic era.

The main kid, Wim, might come across as a bit annoying with his overactive personality, but he's still likable, as is his friend Neel-a fascinating new type of alien introduced to the Star Wars universe. KB and Fern, the two girls in the group, are also enjoyable characters, and the interactions between the children are well-written, with great chemistry that shines throughout. I am not sure how I feel about the dad, he felt like an extra, but that doesn't matter as the show is about the children.

The episode concludes on an exciting and frightening note, effectively drawing the audience into the show. It's a strong premiere that leaves you eager for more.

I've been a big Star Wars fan and while Mando S1+2 and Andor were great, a lot of other shows have been lacking story.

This show delighted me a lot, it seems to not take itself too serious and seems well made. It feels like the creators actually cared about this project, but were also not trying to overextend and make it bigger than it needs to be.

There is so much care and fun in this show. The jokes are well made and there are a bunch of small details that seem lovely.

The characters seem fleshed out, and while some can be a bit annoying or characterless, overall the different characters get some back story and interesting features that make sense. Neel however stands out and the character is already an absolute legend and I love him already!

Though I enjoyed the Star Wars suburbia world-building, the episode felt a bit long. It did a wonderful job of reminding you of what it's like being a kid. One shot I especially appreciated was Wim laying in bed looking up at his ceiling while a car's lights cast shadows through the windows. That yearning for more, for freedom, ready to begin something special. You forget the awkward feeling of growing up but staying young. The competition you feel toward the opposite gender but also the attraction. It's good to remember.

Also is it just more did the special effects look a bit off?

All in all, I'm excited to see where the show goes!

As someone who's kinda burnt out by the infamous Star Wars discourse, I just want something from this franchise that's easy to enjoy! I think, from what I watched and the reactions I'm seeing, that we've got just that here. It's not as grand and epic as this franchise could be, but given how many big swings and misses Star Wars has taken, it's refreshing that we got something as breezy and frankly innocent as this show! Now of course it's not perfect and I think it's gonna take me some time to get used to the child actors (at least those for Wim and Fern), but I can't really say this is soul crushing, childhood damaging garbage (which most of Disney Star Wars isn't in my opinion) and I believe I will enjoy this show simply for what it is!
