Dive into the world of Star Wars with Skeleton Crew. Join Wim and Neel on their hilarious journey in Port Borgo, filled with surprising twists and lots of laughs.
After its debut on Disney Plus this week, Skeleton Crew has become a favorite of Star Wars fans. It has become rare to see any Star Wars project received so warmly, but Jon Watts and Christopher Ford have successfully captured lightning in a bottle and delivered a genuine crowd-pleaser. Just a few days after the season premiere, Lucasfilm dropped the first official clip from the series. The clip takes us to Port Borgo, bringing back that funny moment when Wim and Neel order some food and end up with much more than they expected! Crustacean guts, anyone? (Get the recipe). Check it out below.
REVIEWS
We loved the opening episodes of this new series. In his FOUR STAR review, Thomas Storai said: “Skeleton Crew is a series that puts the fun back into Star Wars. It brings a refreshing perspective, expanding this universe in exciting new ways. This series has compelling characters and Jude Law fits just right in. At its heart, it’s a love letter to children’s adventure films from the ’80s.”
In my FOUR STAR review, I said: “I had a blast with Skeleton Crew. Jon Watts has crafted a fun, adventurous love letter to the kid-centric Amblin movies of yesteryear and expanded the sandbox of the galaxy far, far away without treading on the toes of the established lore. But unlike other entries in the saga, this show isn’t reliant on anything we’ve seen or heard before. It truly stands on its own feet and proudly forges a new pathway into the lore of the franchise to deliver something new and fresh.”
