'Skeleton Crew' Soars to New Heights as Best Reviewed Disney Star Wars Series Next to 'Andor'!

The struggling Disney Star Wars franchise has finally captured a major win with its latest offering, Skeleton Crew. This fresh, Goonies-inspired adventure has debuted to rave reviews and minimal controversy, breathing much-needed life into a brand that has faced its share of challenges lately.

With the review scores rolling in, Skeleton Crew has secured the crown for the highest rating among Disney Star Wars projects, right behind the critically acclaimed Andor. Interestingly, the scores are almost neck and neck, surpassing even some beloved films. Here’s how it stacks up:

Review Scores Comparison

- Andor – 96% critic, 87% audience - Skeleton Crew – 95% critic, 86% audience - The Force Awakens – 93% critic, 84% audience - The Last Jedi – 91% critic, 41% audience - The Mandalorian – 90% critic, 78% audience - Ahsoka – 86% critic, 64% audience - Rogue One – 84% critic, 87% audience - Obi-Wan Kenobi – 82% critic, 61% audience - The Acolyte – 78% critic, 18% audience - Solo – 69% critic, 63% audience - The Book of Boba Fett – 66% critic, 49% audience - Rise of Skywalker – 51% critic, 86% audience

One of the most striking aspects of Skeleton Crew is that it doesn't suffer from the discrepancies commonly found in audience scores; it stands proudly among the few projects boasting an impressive 86-87% from viewers. Achieving such high consensus from the notoriously selective Star Wars fandom is no small feat.

What Makes 'Skeleton Crew' Delightful?

Its charm! The series fully embraces its inspiration from classics like The Goonies and E.T., but succeeds in carving out its own identity. Co-created by Jon Watts, known for his work on the hit Tom Holland Spider-Man movies, it's clear that a strong caliber of quality was anticipated. While Watts’ recent Apple TV+ project Wolfs didn’t turn heads, Skeleton Crew seems poised for success.

Designed as a new entry point for a younger generation into the vast Star Wars universe, Skeleton Crew is not limited to just kids—it’s a family-friendly spectacle that features captivating narratives and intriguing mysteries for avid Star Wars enthusiasts. The talented young ensemble cast shines alongside veteran actor Jude Law, who portrays a compelling force user, while a robot pirate first mate adds an unexpected touch of whimsy to the storyline.

Future of 'Skeleton Crew'

Rumors suggest that Disney may be keen on extending Skeleton Crew as an ongoing series, but this comes with its own set of challenges. Like all major productions, balancing quality against budget in a world where viewership fluctuates is no easy task. Particularly since Skeleton Crew lacks well-known Star Wars characters or actors that might entice viewers, it parallels the concerns faced by The Acolyte. Even with promising early reports, attracting a broad audience will be crucial for its continued success.

As fans eagerly tune in, Skeleton Crew holds the potential to refresh the franchise and unite audiences of all ages under the galaxy far, far away.
