6 Thoughts on Star Wars: Skeleton Crew (Review)
More than a week has passed since the final episode of Skeleton Crew, and it’s sad how little of an impact this show has had on pop culture. I guess not a lot of people were watching? Which is a damn shame, because Skeleton Crew is a great show that had a lot of fun in the Star Wars universe! I had a blast!
TV Show Rating: 9/10 – Great
Like everyone else, I find Star Wars TV to be hit and miss. I haven’t outright hated any show, but wasn’t too impressed with Ahsoka or Obi-Wan Kenobi. I had no idea what to expect with Skeleton Crew when it was announced and teased for years; I barely paid any attention. But that first trailer piqued my interest and I’m happy to have watched every episode week-by-week. This is one of the good ones!
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts/review of Skeleton Crew. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own in the comments below!
Read the rest of this entryLet’s Start the Week with a Fun TV Show Trailer Montage From Disney Again
A week or two ago, Disney+ put out a trailer for a bunch of upcoming Marvel shows. It was a fun watch. Late last week, they put out another trailer for upcoming Disney+ shows that aren’t Marvel…but with some Marvel? I don’t know the rules of this trailer, but we’ve got looks at Ironheart and Andor season 2, and a bunch of other stuff. Whatever the case may be, this is a good enough video to start a Monday.
And that’s our Monday, folks! Andor season 2 looks good. Ironheart still looks good to me. I’ve enjoyed everything there is to see about Skeleton Crew, also from Star Wars. And I have yet to even watch the third season of The Bear, so I’m behind there. But I’m a man who enjoys having new content to watch. It really keeps me going in these dark, horrible days.
Too bad we have to wait until 2025 for all this stuff. No, wait, Skeleton Crew comes out at the start of December. So that should be fun.

How About Another Look at Star Wars: Skeleton Crew?
What a couple of weeks. Election anxiety and life anxiety are eating me alive, or at least they’re eating at the parts of me that can focus on blogging. So I haven’t posted much. But it’s Monday, I’ve got to get to work, I’m cold, and I’m finally posting this Star Wars: Skeleton Crew trailer from late last week. This show definitely looks fun, as far as I’m concerned.
This looks fun. A 1980’s style kids adventure flick set in the Star Wars universe? That sounds neat! Star Wars is definitely transitioning into something similar to the superhero genre, where they explore other genres within the existing framework. Sounds fine to me! We’re always going to get new Star Wars stuff, so they might as well be experimental and interesting, and, of course, good.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is coming to Disney+ starting on Dec. 3.

Let’s Enjoy Some D23 Trailers!
D23 was this past weekend, which is a big Disney convention where they show off all sorts of stuff they’re working on. The news sounds pretty good! And we got a ton of trailers officially released, along with a ton of trailers I had to watch bootleg copies of online. That still works, to a degree, but hopefully we get the full trailers soon.
So let’s just run down what we’ve got
First up is Moana 2. I read online that this started as a TV show and then transitioned into a movie. Could be. It won’t have the Lin Manuel Miranda music, which is a shame. But the animation looks sharp, and the cast is back. Here’s hoping it’s a fun adventure.
Moana 2 comes to theaters on Nov. 27.
Second up is the first trailer for the live action Snow White.
I will say two things: this looks good, but these live action movies tend to stink. So I’m honestly fairly convinced it’s going to be bad. But it’s still a big release, and I’m sure Disney is hoping for the best, so I wanted to share.
Snow White will come to theaters next year, on March 21.
Third up is a new trailer for the live action Mufasa movie, the Lion King prequel.
I think this is a dumb idea and the trailer looks dumb. I did not enjoy the live action Lion King movie, and I definitely don’t need a prequel. I especially don’t need a prequel with some weird lore. So Mufasa wasn’t actually in the royal lineage? He was an orphan adopted by Scar’s family? I’m not a fan of it.
I’m also not a fan of the tropey story where two future enemies start out as best friends. We’re going to see the exact same story in Transformers One. So…weird.
Mufasa comes to theaters on Dec. 20.
Now we turn to Marvel, with a new trailer for Agatha All Along!
Look, I’m an unapologetic MCU apologist. I’ve enjoyed all of their TV shows, with the sole exception of Secret Invasion. I even enjoyed Echo. So it’s entirely likely that I’ll enjoy Agatha All Along. I’m definitely going to watch and hope for the best!
Agatha All Along comes to Disney+ on Sept. 18 and will mostly release weekly, right into Halloween season.
Speaking of Marvel, I saw bootleg trailers for Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart and a new trailer for Captain America: Brave New World. They all looked great! I can’t wait to watch the trailers for real. I’m looking forward to all three projects.
Lastly we have the trailer for the next Star Wars show, Skeleton Crew.
This one is really interesting. A bunch of kids on an adventure, set in Star Wars. It’s the Goonies, it’s Stand By Me; a fascinating idea. It looks great, full of Star Wars stuff, so I’ll definitely watch — though I haven’t been particularly thrilled with most of the Star Wars shows. So we’ll see.
Skeleton Crew comes to Disney+ on Dec. 3.
Meanwhile, I saw bootleg trailers for the Mandalorian and Grogu movie, which didn’t show too much. And the second season of Andor, which looked great. So I’m definitely excited for those. Lots of good things coming out in the year ahead. Can’t wait!
And I can’t wait to share those other trailers when they’re released for real.
