One of many issues that I preferred about Star Wars: Skeleton Crew was the way it ended. In contrast to most Star Wars initiatives the story didn’t finish with a giant cliffhanger.
The creators of the present, Jon Watts and Christopher Ford just lately sat down with Collider after the finale to speak about their method to the season’s ending.
Ford defined that this was an intentional choice, saying: “We wished it to have an ending and never be simply one other cliffhanger as a result of we knew we have been messing with individuals with so many cliffhangers.”
All through the season, Skeleton Crew had enjoyable conserving followers on edge with episodes that teased large reveals — like Jod Na Nawood snagging that lightsaber from Tak Rennod’s vault.
However, when it got here to the finale, the inventive staff wished one thing totally different. Ford added: “We have been impressed by these previous pirate serials and stuff, and even Flash Gordon, and being like, ‘No, actually, we’re going to finish on a ‘What?!’ second.’
“However, yeah, we wished the children to get dwelling and have this story have its starting, center, and finish.”
That construction of the collection advised a full, contained story and didn’t supply any determined pleas for renewal. We acquired a transparent decision.
In fact, Ford famous that not each thread was tied up. For instance, Jod’s destiny is left hanging within the steadiness. However even with some lingering questions, the story feels complete. If we don’t get a second season (although I hope we do), we nonetheless have a satisfying conclusion to this journey.
Skeleton Crew is closely impressed by traditional Amblin Leisure movies like The Goonies and E.T. It follows 4 younger buddies, Wim, Neel, Fern, and KB, who get misplaced within the galaxy far, distant and struggle to make their means again dwelling. It’s a nostalgic, heartfelt journey.
