So far, we've had lots of uncomplicated fun with Skeleton Crew. Its healthy mix of retro adventures starring 'Amblin kids' and tales of pirates and hidden treasures has been hard to resist. Last week, episode 5 presented a colorful romp through the sort of setting that George Lucas would love, and the new year has gifted us a slower but very heartfelt sixth chapter that's all about strengthening the bonds between the lost children.
After directing what many fans consider to be the worst episode in The Mandalorian's entire three-season run due to a shockingly shoddy and confused script by Jon Favreau, Bryce Dallas Howard makes a notable return to Star Wars TV shows in the aptly titled 'Zero Friends Again' – it's an excellent reminder that she deserves to helm one of the upcoming Star Wars movies. Once again, she effortlessly captured the heart and charm of the story at hand while delivering solid thrills and sequences with that classical, warm feeling.
