The best thing about Skeleton Crew is that, in a time of uncertainty for the larger Star Wars franchise as it tries to return to cinemas, the show has aptly navigated the universe without linking itself to bigger storylines. This also means a second season never seemed like a necessity, and its season 1 finale doesn't change that.
'The Real Good Guys' has series co-creator Jon Watts returning to the director's chair after kicking things off with the rather familiar first episode. Much like the premiere, he doesn't leave At Attin, but this second rodeo is a much more action-packed one. More importantly, he gets to have more fun with Jod Na Nawood's meaner side, which was fully revealed in episode 7. Payoffs abound too, with every major character having a moment to shine. We've complained a lot about the overall structure and pacing, but Skeleton Crew has consistently nailed the character writing and the cast's chemistry, and that's greatly felt when everything comes to a head.
