Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast: Skeleton Crew – Episode I
"This Could Be a Real Adventure"

Fans, friends, and Tia Laura, thank you for tuning in to another episode of the Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast! Yes, it still counts, even if you're on auto-play. Thanks again, Tia Laura!

Sydney and I just re-watched Disney's latest Star Wars TV show, "Skeleton Crew." I have to admit—I was skeptical. The trailers didn’t grab me at first glance. But wow, was I wrong! This show has far more charm than it initially lets on.

As I get older, I’m finding myself more open to Disney's fresh takes on Star Wars. At first, the concept of a group of kids being shepherded across the galaxy by an adult didn’t appeal to me. But Jude Law’s portrayal of the lead character, paired with the kids’ unique dynamics, truly works.

Compared to other live-action Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew feels like a departure. Yes, the focus on kids might seem off-putting at first, but don’t let it fool you. Each child has a distinct personality, and even though their archetypes are familiar, they bring something special. Neel, for example, is adorable in his red overalls, and Fern stands out as the "tough girl" while maintaining depth and complexity.

Fern balances her “perfect student” persona with a rebellious streak. She’s the top of her class but also races speeder bikes with the older kids. This duality gives her character a rich, relatable edge that feels fresh in the Star Wars universe.

The first episode leaves you hooked, eager for what’s next. Whether we cover The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew, or Visions in our next podcast, who knows? There are no rules in podcasting—we’ll dive into whatever we want!

Thanks for listening!
