Synopsis
Four children on their home planet make a mysterious discovery that leaves them lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law stars in "Skeleton Crew" plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away.. The holographic circus that entertains Neal’s little siblings is the same one Chewbacca’s family watches in the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
The town they come from reminded me more of the ET
I watched the first two episodes and while there’s a clear effort to create a "goonies in space" show here, what’s so wrong with it? It’s a much different take on the story that exists in the Star Wars universe. I enjoyed the look and feel of what a suburban town looks like in this world, because we’ve never seen one.
setting than anything we’ve seen in shows recently
The 4 main characters are typical but likable, each with their own distinct roles in the group, and the actors play them well. The pirate vibe isn’t necessarily something we’ve seen before, and it adds a bit of a spooky element and an air of danger. If this were an 80s movie, it would have fit in.

So far, I’m enjoying it for the new storytelling elements in the Star Wars universe, the nostalgia from my childhood movies, and the fact that I can share this Star Wars experience with my kids. Well done! "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
