Skeleton Crew is one of the most nostalgic projects in one of the most nostalgic franchises ever. Not only does the series harken back to the original trilogy with its “average kid swept into a grand intergalactic conflict” concept, but the tone has been compared to classic Amblin Entertainment films like The Goonies and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial.
But that nostalgia isn’t limited just to the audience. In the trailer for the series, it was revealed that much of the plot of the series is steeped in the past. However, just how far into the past has been a point of contention — until now. Skeleton Crew showrunner Jon Watts just clarified to Inverse how nostalgic Skeleton Crew really is, and it ties all the way back to when we met Obi-Wan Kenobi for the first time.
