Star Wars: Skeleton Crew was in part inspired by the point and click Monkey Island games.
"Skeleton Crew tells the story of four kids searching for their home planet after getting lost in the Star Wars galaxy, and the strange aliens and dangerous places they encounter on their adventure," reads the official synopsis on Disney Plus. The Skeleton Crew showrunner went on to state the team watched "old pirate serials as an influence", highlighting "swashbuckling" films like The Sea Hawk [1940] and Captain Blood [1935] in particular. As a huge Monkey Island fan, this one simple quote has piqued my interest for Skeleton Crew (I won't lie, I had been starting to feel a bit of Disney Star Wars show fatigue).
