Wim's visit to Neel reveals a hologram of a circus performance watched by younger siblings, a reference to the infamous 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, showcasing how Skeleton Crew embraces nostalgic absurdities.
Showrunner Jon Watts notes the significance of the hologram of the circus performance, saying, "That is easily one of my favorite parts of the whole show... I've just always been fascinated by that weird little circus hologram."
Although the Star Wars Holiday Special isn’t considered canon, Skeleton Crew brings back elements of it, acknowledging its history and even poking fun at its legacy.
Watts explains the effort involved in recreating the circus scene: "We recreated it... we initially wanted to see if we could get the original footage, but it's so low resolution because it was a TV special."
