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.

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!

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.
