Skeleton Crew" has blasted off. The first two episodes of the latest live-action Lucasfilm series are now streaming on Disney+, and within those two episodes, there are some surprising connections to some beloved Disney theme park attractions.

Skeleton Crew is shaping up to be a fun space adventure that taps into the nostalgia of 1980s movies like E.T. and The Goonies. This reviewer is still on the fence.

The "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" pilot does a lot of work establishing the world — think suburban America if it was transported to a galaxy far, far away — and introducing us to the show's talented young cast; I'm sure the elephantine alien youngster, Neel, is about to become a fan-favorite "Star Wars" figure.
