Skeleton Crew is the new Star Wars show for Disney Plus .

Jon Watts and Christopher Ford's eight -episode series wears its Amblin influences proudly on its sleeve.

It's very much trying to recapture that 1980s magic of adventure flicks involving kids who get into deep trouble.

The other side of the show is a classic pirate story.

All four kids are real and funny in a way that many screenwriters and directors fail to capture.

The previews sold At Attin as a safe New Republic world, but this was a cunning deception.

All signs point to it being an untouched and hidden planet where the values and society of the Old Republic (far before the time of the prequels) just kept going.

We're happy to say that Skeleton Crew is the most magical (though maybe not the best) Star Wars has been since The Mandalorian season 1 .

By combining sci-fi weirdness with Earth -like familiarity and a warm, nostalgic feeling, Jon Watts and Christopher Ford are breathing fresh air into live-action Star Wars when the franchise needs it most.
