With the recent setback of The Acolyte, the future of Star Wars series remains uncertain. However, Disney is looking to bring a lighter tone to the galaxy far, far away with Skeleton Crew. This shift in tone could be the key to the success of the upcoming series.
While details about the plot of Skeleton Crew are scarce, the trailers suggest that the show will have a nostalgic 80s vibe, following a group of children on extraordinary adventures. Fans may be reminded of classics like Goonies, E.T., Stand by Me, and even Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things.
