Not that excited about this one. But, if the whole season was available to binge over Winter break, that would be enjoyable.

This will be the first piece of star wars media I won't watch day one. I cancelled my Disney+. Star wars just hasn't been quality enough for me to keep it two more months to see this. There's some things I want to watch on Netflix so I'm going to sign up for a couple/few months then there should be enough after that on D+ that I'm interested in to sign back up for a month or two. Lather rinse repeat.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Stop putting that stupid "skip credits" button in your shows with opening credits that are four seconds long.

This show initially feels as a strange fit for Star Wars, doing a kid focused adventure in the vein of Explorers or The Last Starfighter. The initial premise after one episode feels a bit absurd.

Production values are excellent.

Rex cameo as one of several easter eggs is fun.

I just finished watching it and really enjoyed it. I like the whole pirate feel to it. I enjoyed seeing the Circus of the Damned from the Star Wars Holiday Special. This has potential and the kid actors are pretty good.

I wanted to watch both episodes again before giving my opinion, but haven’t had a chance. So far I like it, better than other recent SW shows and I’ve liked all of them. Will see how it progresses through the season but if it continues as it opens I think it’ll be fairly well received.

I'm been cruising through the Star Wars boards. They like the show so far. Definitely an improvement over Acolyte and Obiwan. They want more aliens released as figures. They like the possible inspiration from Captain EO. So far Star Trek Prodigy is better.

Thought the first two episodes were great. Watched them with my 9 year old, and he can’t wait for the next episode. I pretty much had a smile on my face the whole time. Good cast, fun take on an old premise and plenty of Star Wars stuff to give it the right feel.

It’s strange to me. Despite all the Star Wars stuff it very much doesn’t feel like Star Wars to me, yet I still really enjoy it. Idk I think it’s just the obvious focus on kids and a very different type of story Star Wars hasn’t tackled which is the straight up adventure/mystery if you get what I mean.

ALSO WE FINALLY HAVE A TON OF ALIENS!!!!!!

Skeleton Crew Breaks Disappointing Star Wars Record On Disney+

The real threat to Star Wars: Skeleton Crew isn't pirates or rogue Jedis but Disney+ viewership.
thedirect.com thedirect.com

According to Nielsen's streaming data, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew experienced the lowest viewership of any Star Wars show's premiere in its first week.

The two-episode debut garnered less than 382 million minutes watched between both episodes, with Episode 1 clocking in at 46 minutes and Episode 2 at 29 minutes.

That's the lowest for any Star Wars show to date and roughly 20% less than The Acolyte, which was famously "canceled" by Star Wars fans.

As a result, Skeleton Crew's debut didn't make it into Disney+'s Top 10 Originals, which is the first time for a Star Wars series.


The following is a breakdown of minutes watched for the premieres of previous Star Wars Disney+ shows:

  • The Mandalorian Season 2: 1.032 billion minutes
  • The Book of Boba Fett: 389 million minutes (episode length: 37 minutes, including credits)
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi: 1.026 billion minutes (two episodes)
  • Andor: 624 million minutes (three episodes)
  • The Mandalorian Season 3: 823 million minutes
  • Ahsoka: 829 million minutes (two episodes)
  • The Acolyte: 488 million minutes (two episodes; 41 minutes + 36 minutes)

We're not seeing it pop onto luminate charts either, which is a shame. At least it was half the price of acolyte and more warmly received.
