Star Wars Disney + TV Review: ****The Skeleton Crew (2024-2025)

 This is an exciting Star Wars show.  There are eight episodes.  The premise is a group of four children enter a space ship, not realizing it is a space ship, and end up launching themselves into space.  Turns out the ship they are on is connected with pirates, and manned by a robot, SM33.  SM33 is programed with the pirate code, but a great part of his memory is missing.  At any rate when the kids ask him to take them home, he takes them to a pirate port.  This is where they meet Jod Na Nawood, who has Jedi traits; including a light saber and ability to use telekinesis.  

The kids are from the planet At Attin, a mythical planet where there gold credits are manufactured.  However it is also a hidden world.  The kids hold the key to finding the planet, and are much wanted.  When Nawood befriends them, does he want to help them, or exploit them.  

In the meantime the parents of the children are determined to find their children as the local government is not helping.  Government is totally droid, and the administrator is a large computer.

I would recommend this ride for anyone into Star Wars.
