Reviews of part 1 and 2 are in (which always seems counterproductive but we here are) so here are a few samples…

https://www.darkhorizons.com/the-star-wars-skeleton-crew-reviews-are-in/

“What stands out most when watching the series is that it feels so very influenced; it’s not just a “Star Wars” series, it’s “Star Wars” plus something. It’s gimmicky and not just a little cookie-cutter in its expansion of the sci-fi franchise, which gets diluted the more shows Disney+ cranks out.” – Kelly Lawler, USA Today

“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew gets off to a depressingly familiar start, while bungling the introduction of its primary protagonists and generally plodding along until Jude Law pops up.” – Ben Travers, Indiewire

“That’s all that ‘Skeleton Crew’ offers: appropriation for a halcyon era of cinema and little else. Worse, the exceptional Spielberg-ian tenor of marvel and amazement is absent, leaving behind a mostly hollow, fairly unremarkable, forgettable product.” – Rodrigo Perez, The Playlist
