The first two episodes of Skeleton Crew are now streaming on Disney+, and critics have been weighing in with their reviews of the first three instalments of Lucasfilm's latest Star Wars series.

With 29 verdicts counted, the kid-friendly show is currently sitting at an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Though not everyone was won over by the old-fashioned, Amblin-esque adventure, the majority of critics found something to enjoy, and we've only come across a couple of outright negative reviews so far (we're sure more will follow).

Have a read look through the links below, and we'll update as more reviews are shared.

We knew that Academy Award-winning Everything Everywhere All At Once directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (The Daniels) were on board, but showrunners Jon Watts and Christopher Ford recently announced that they have also assembled: Bryce Dallas Howard (The Mandalorian), Lee Isaac Chung (Twisters), David Lowery (The Green Knight) and Jake Schreier (Thunderbolts*).

"Ford and I sat down like, 'Who are our favourite directors, who would be good at this?'" said Watts. "We went out to all you guys, and you all said yes. No-one turned it down! 'Hey, do you want to do Star Wars? Play around in the Volume? Do pre-vis? Meet some pirates, some puppets, hang out with Jude Law?' 'Yeah, sounds great!'”

In addition to Law, the titular crew will consist of Ravi Cabot-Conyers as Wim, Kyriana Kratter as KB, Robert Timothy Smith as Neel, and Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Fern. 

"When four kids make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, they get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy," according to the show's official synopsis. "Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined."
