Skeleton Crew had an uphill battle in front of it. When the teaser trailer first dropped, the diehard Star Wars “fans” decried it because it had lawns and suburbia and those weren’t Star Wars. These are the same people who complained about the bricks in Andor,

Skeleton Crew’s charming, family-friendly space adventure could have been a nice refresh for the beleaguered franchise.

It’s been just over 12 years since Disney acquired the rights to the Star Wars license from George Lucas. These 12 years have had some high points and low points, but it has become increasingly obvious that the franchise is in the best place it’s been since the original trilogy ended in 1983.

The “ Star Wars ” fan in me is devastated. After seven episodes, many of which only improved as the show progressed, “Skeleton Crew” is gearing up for its season (series?) finale on Disney Plus and I’m not too happy about it.

I'm always hesitant to claim that a show -- especially a Star Wars show -- is near-perfect. All creative endeavors are both open to and worthy of criticism because constructive feedback is how stories and their creators continue to shift and evolve.

Skeleton Crew has not been renewed for a second season yet but "never say never", especially when one character is rumored to return.
