Warning: spoilers are ahead for the first two episodes of Star Wars: The Skeleton Crew, streaming now with a Disney+ subscription.

Skeleton Crew debuted on Disney+ on December 2, 2024, and has quickly become a favorite among critics, earning commendable scores on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. The plot revolves around a group of children lost somewhere in the galaxy.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the latest Disney+ series set in a galaxy far far away, is very clearly made for younger audiences. Its main characters are all children and the adult players in the story are broadly drawn caricatures: a dashing pirate, a funny robot, stern but supportive parents.
