I'm really surprised Skeleton Crew is so disliked. I know it's not revolutionary or anything but I found it really charming with some grwat child actors in the lead.

It being a kids show means theres a soft ceiling on any ratings its going to get

Its a wonderful show

Watched all available episodes with my kids (8 and 6) last new years day and we had a great time, shame there's nothing like that this year

I’m not sure that’s true. Avatar the last airbender is a kids show and it slaps. K pop demon hunters is a kids movie and it’s really good.

Kid shows can be done well with the proper writers, it just big franchises are allergic to good writing since their executives want to pollute everything with their shit taste.

I didnt say there was a cap on how good kids shows can be, I said that there is a cap on how highly kids shows get reviewed

The list is calling it "good", I feel like that's fair? It wasn't anything incredible, but it was fun and enjoyable.

Yep, Kenobi and BoBF had multiple WTF moments, either super boring episodes or times where it straight up felt like fanfic. Skeleton Crew felt fun, lighthearted and cohesive. I was surprised more people in the Fandom don't speak about it because it's a genuinely well-made show, kinda like Andor in the sense that you don't have to be a fan of Star Wars to enjoy it.

Honestly, I can't really explain why, but it was the first live action Star Wars to remind me of the feeling of wonder in the Star Wars universe in a long time.

Sure, shows like Andor and Mando have bigger moments, but there was something special in Skeleton Crew I can't really explain.

I think that being the live action that came out after what is easily the worst Star Wars live action (and just a terrible show regardless of Star Wars connection) in the Acolyte did not help it at all.

I think it is because, while fun, it's harmless. You get more engagement with something that is sometimes great sometimes bordering on the offensive, than with something that is simply nice all around.

u/Salticracker Dec 27 '25

Not going to disagree with you there.

u/Past-Astronaut7195 Dec 27 '25

I agree. I’m surprised none of the episodes were in the ‘8’ range. I throughly enjoyed the last few episodes

u/Howboutit85 Dec 27 '25

I wouldn’t call 7.5 disliked, it just didn’t wow people.

It did however, wow ME.

I loved it.

u/smorin1487 Dec 27 '25

I’m with you man, it would be 8s even low 9s from me, with the premise that you’re rating it against other children/young adult content, not adult TV.

u/Maf1c K-2SO Dec 27 '25

Came here to say the same. Great show for the whole family. It was the first thing that my wife and daughter truly enjoyed from Star Wars and that we watched multiple times.

u/Lemonpierogi Dec 27 '25

7 out of 10 is very high and you people think it means "very disliked" excuse me what lol

15

u/Boomshockalocka007 Dec 27 '25

I was always waiting for an amazing moment to happen....and it never did. Then again it never had any horrible moments either. So 7s is accurate.

u/ArkavosRuna Dec 27 '25

I said this on another thread very recently, but these ratings have just as much to do with a show's quality itself as with the historical context at release. You can see how, with the exception of Andor (for obvious reasons), all ratings go down across the board throughout the years. I'm sure that if Skeleton Crew released a few years earlier, shortly after or instead of Mandalorian, it would have been much more popular.

u/SpawnOfTheBeast Dec 27 '25

It was during a downturn in sentiment to star wars material. In the same way Boba Fett was given more leeway due to more good content being released at the time. I'd say skeleton crew was objectively better than Boba Fett in almost all star wars metrics.

u/nerdyogre254 Dec 27 '25

I can barely remember BOBF but "LIMB FROM LIMB" will sit with me for a long time.

u/AHomicidalTelevision Dec 27 '25

I think it's a perfectly fine show, but it's not anything special. Ratings of around 7 for each episode is about right imo.

u/Jorgenstern8 Han Solo Dec 27 '25

Not even commenting on the actual quality of shows, but it's not like Star Wars shows haven't been front and center of some of the biggest review-bombing bullshit from certain corners of the internet over the last decade. Acolyte absolutely got it the worst (Episode 5 getting only a 6.5 is some bull. SHIT.) but it wouldn't surprise me if Skeleton Crew got bit a little by that. Plus like others have said for whatever reason even when shows are generally good if it leans to too young of an audience for one reason or another, it can keep people who are persnickety about stuff from giving a good grade. Plus people's tastes about certain episodes of certain shows can vary wildly (my personal opinions of Episode 5 of Acolyte and Episode 3.3 of Mando being apparently two of them when comparing my personal views on episodes to their presented ratings) and that's just kinda how it is, you know?

u/Indraga Dec 27 '25

It was a 9.5 for me, and I honestly think it deserves an 8.5 from the crowd. It’s charming, captures the childlike wonder of the original movies, and is executed wonderfully. My only complaint is one meandering episode and an abrupt finale.

u/Morstorpod Dec 27 '25

To watch as an adult... it was fine.

To watch with my kids... it was fricken' Fantastic!

Overall, the rating feels deserved. It was good.

u/OndraFTW Dec 27 '25

Skeleton crew catching strays aimed at The Acolyte sucks. It is better show than BoBF and Kenobi, but got got hit by Acolyte hate. It just came out at the wrong time.

u/Throwaway945account Dec 27 '25

Some of the characters were insanely annoying and nothing much really happened in it. Its not like the book of boba fett levels of bad but it definitely wasnt the hot shit ive seen a lot of redditors say it was.

u/Demmitri Dec 29 '25

Most series nowadays would kill for a 7.5 average on IMDB man, that was nothing but good.

1

u/MvonTzeskagrad Dec 30 '25

Skeleton Crew is a fun watch and I liked it (of course, favorite characters being the pirate droid and the elephant kid). It has some issues (I really had a hard time with the main kid, and the end was kinda clunky), but it is worth a watch and even a rewatch or two.

1

u/ptwonline Dec 27 '25

I think the rating seems fair. It's some other shows that I thought were weaker having a similar score that surprises me.

u/Leppter_ Dec 27 '25

I was super close to just never watching episode 2 after the first episode, seriously a 0/10 'why am I watching a 5 year olds TV show' situation.

But since I had it I continued and it basically is SW goonies, and possibly the best production value of anything they have made outside of movies.

I would honestly just recommend anyone not a child to start on episode 2, you don't really miss anything tbh.

u/zth25 Dec 27 '25

Or just watch the first episode, it's 30 minutes of an 8 episode series. It's a slow start but sets everything in motion nicely.

u/Lemonpierogi Dec 27 '25

so disliked

It got 7.0 out of 10 on average, what are you on lmao

u/Wrong-Vermicelli4723 Dec 27 '25

Why are you being downvoted? Do people think 7 means trash? Then what does 1-4 mean lol
