Major spoilers for Star Wars: Skeleton Crew lie ahead.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew wore its influences on its sleeve. Despite being part The Goonies, part Treasure Island, and coated in a sweet, science-fantasy shell, Skeleton Crew ’s best homage was not to existing Star Wars characters or stories, but to the joy of discovering the larger world of George Lucas’ galaxy through another person’s eyes.

Skeleton Crew' creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford go inside that action-packed finale and address the murky future of the show.

Kid-oriented Star Wars stuff has been around forever, and Disney has specifically never shied away from selling Star Wars to children, but this is one of Disney’s first (and most successful) attempts to actually use the power of Star Wars to say something to kids.

Skeleton Crew, I think I may be loving the franchise more than ever. The new series has been one of the most enjoyable pieces of the galaxy, far, far away so far, and I hope that we get to see more of this in the future,

If Skeleton Crew left you craving more boundary-pushing Star Wars stories, these adventures will take you deeper into the galaxy's most exciting tales. The post Essential Star Wars Tales For ‘Skeleton Crew’ Fans appeared first on But Why Tho?
