Skeleton Crew lie ahead. After several thrilling weeks of storytelling, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’s season came to a close on the 2025 TV schedule, and the finale was as explosive as it was cathartic.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew wore its influences on its sleeve. Despite being part The Goonies, part Treasure Island, and coated in a sweet, science-fantasy shell, Skeleton Crew ’s best homage was not to existing Star Wars characters or stories, but to the joy of discovering the larger world of George Lucas’ galaxy through another person’s eyes.

Skeleton Crew creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford have explained their decision to not include a cliffhanger in the show’s finale. Following the premiere of the last episode, “The Real Good Guys,” the duo sat down with Collider to discuss the series.
