This Could Be a Real Adventure

The main objectives of This Could Be a Real Adventure is to establish characters and hook you into to the show. I think it does this reasonably well with a good premise of children going on an adventure. As a forty-something long time fan of Star Wars and also the Amblin movies to which it pays tribute, I am intrigued. My nine year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed it.

That being said, when filmmakers openly admit they are trying to do The Goonies in the Star Wars universe, they set themselves up for comparisons. What I love the most about The Goonies is the distinct characters and the chaotic banter between the young actors. This aspect is missing from Skeleton Crew's characters so far, which is disappointing to me personally, but I acknowledge that it is way too early to make serious judgements.

I think all the young actors do an excellent job with limited material to be able to express their characters.

Visually it is another great design from the Star Wars universe. Who would have thought we would ever see suburbs in the galaxy far, far away. Arguably this is too recognisable and not exotic enough, but it works for the story. Everything is enhanced by a nice musical score.

For the first time in a while ive ahd fun watching a star wars show, the scenery characters are all great and it starts strong with a great scene of pirates. People will hate but i fr had fun watching this show you should ignore all the criticism online and go check it out for yourself

I loved the way they showed how people in star wars also live a regular life like most of us with school and exams. The ending was exceptional i hope to see more like this in the future from disney plus star wars shows. I never thought going into skeleton crew id like this show this much 😂. Next episodes will be even better for sure.

After the Acolyte I wasn't sure about giving this a try but wow I'm glad I did. I've only viewed the first episode so far and have come here to write something positive before I start episode 2.

This is really fun. I liked it from the first few minutes and it just has a feel good feeling to it. It reminded me of my youth watching ET and the Goonies in the 80's. I'm not going to write any spoilers but if you're unsure about giving this a go and you come across this review then I highly recommend you watch it. For sure you will dive straight into episode 2.

I can tell this is going to be a good adventure story but what I love is that it's not at all preachy or political. I think this is going to be a Disney hit. It's going to bring the magic back to Star Wars and leave fans wanting for more. After only one episode I know that this will get strong viewing, strong reviews and will definitely get a second season.

This is the sort of viewing fans want. Thank god the Acolyte was cancelled as that was an abomination of bad script, plot holes and policital preachiness. This is just good old fashioned fun that kids and adults alike will love. It's family entertainment and can be enjoyed by the whole family. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel.

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!

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!
