‘Skeleton Crew’ Needed More Episodes To Tell Its Story

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew may not have featured the galaxy-wide war that is so common in the Star Wars franchise, but the show had plenty going on. The story takes the form of a coming-of-age adventure as Fern (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), Wim (Ravi Cabot-Conyers), KB (Kyriana Kratter), and Neel (Robert Timothy Smith) get lost in space and make their way home with pirates chasing them. Episode 8, "The Real Good Guys," concludes the story with the four recently returned children stopping a pirate invasion on At Attin, yet there is too much going on it's difficult to keep up. Certainly, things need to come together in the finale, but the conclusion came too quickly, and a few more episodes of Skeleton Crew would have better served the series.
