The latest “Star Wars” project, called “Skeleton Crew” and starring Jude Law, is a lot like “The Goonies.” But it needed George Lucas’s style to tell its story.

Skeleton Crew seems to have taken inspiration from the prequel trilogy's aesthetic, which was once controversial among fans.

Skeleton Crew is about a lot of things: A band of kids who discover a buried starship and get lost in space when they flukily hit hyperspace. It’s a view of the post-Empire, pre-sequel-trilogy Star Wars universe, far flung from the Skywalker Saga.
