The first two episodes of the latestStar WarsDisney+ series are now streaming, and fans everywhere can’t stop raving aboutSkeleton Crew. The show is currently one of the highest-ratedStar Warsprojects, earning a nearly perfect 95% rating from critics and an 87% score from general audiences on the aggregate siteRotten Tomatoes. What’s special about this 87% is that it is a perfect match toAndor, which also holds the same rating onRotten Tomatoesbut sits at a slightly higher critical score of 96%. While these numbers are subject to change, it’s still refreshing to see both fans and critics alike enjoyingSkeleton Crewas much asAndor, which is universally regarded as one of the best if not the bestStar Warsproject ever made.
Skeleton Crewwas created byJon Watts, who is best known for his work on the MCUSpider-Mantrilogy. The show has been lauded this far for delivering a classicStar Warsstory through a different prism than just using Jedi or bounty hunters, but instead having children as the primary outlet to explore the galaxy and learn alongside them. There has been no official word on aSkeleton CrewSeason 2, and fans are still stinging from the cancelation ofThe Acolyte, the most recentStar WarsDisney+ series that wasscrapped despite strong reviews and good viewership numbers. IfSkeleton Crewcan secure strong viewership to pair with its incredibly high review scores from critics and audiences, a Season 2 announcement could be coming sooner rather than later.
