Jon Watts, co-creator of Skeleton Crew, shared his admiration for the Monkey Island series, stating, 'I'm also a big fan of Monkey Island. That's also classic Lucas. So somewhere between Star Wars pirates and Monkey Island pirates, I think we found our sweet spot.' This reveals how the beloved video game franchise has significantly shaped the pirate elements in Skeleton Crew, blending the adventurous spirit of both universes to create a unique narrative.
Skeleton Crew centers on four kids lost in space but promises a plethora of pirate characters, which aligns with Jon Watts’ inspirations from classic LucasArts games. He highlights how the tone of Monkey Island contributed to shaping the kids' journey, suggesting that viewers can expect a quirky mix of earnest adventure and humor, reminiscent of both the classic games and the cinematic exploits of the Pirates of the Caribbean.
