Skeleton Crew… the first two episodes came out last night. I watched episode one last night and episode two this morning. Without spoilers, what did I think?
I don’t know. It was okay. It is definitely geared toward kids. If that’s a deal breaker for you then… well, you’re probably not a Star Wars fan because pretty much everything in Star Wars is geared toward kids (except for Andor, really… which has spoiled a lot of us).
Sure, we’re only two episodes in but it is so clearly a giant homage to The Goonies. It just keeps hitting you over the head with it. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just what is happening.
I liked it. I liked the opening pirate scene. I liked the location in the second episode. I’m curious about who/what/how Jude Law. My one beef is that there are too many shots that are totally lifted from the first movie. Other than that… I liked it. I didn’t adore it, but I did like it.
Episode three comes out next Tuesday. I’ll have more info then. For now?
HELL YES, NEW STAR WARS!
