Another thing I haven't seen people discussing about Skeleton Crew is how it's kind of teaching kids to develop critical thinking skills instead of blindly believing whatever they're told just because an adult/someone they like or trust said it. At the beginning of the show, Wim takes Jod at his word because he's an adult who apparently can use the Force. Wim is so sheltered that his only experience with adults has been that they're automatically trustworthy and always tell the truth. That combined with his idolization of the Jedi primes him to trust Jod on sight, ignoring Fern's repeated warnings until Jod decides to betray them.
After that, he starts to think for himself and figures out that the X-Wings Jod once said were bad are actually the good guys, and we see him moving away from his previously naive mindset that had him hanging off of Jod's every word without question. In an age where anyone can influence anyone else to believe whatever they want them to thanks to the bane of human decency the Internet, this is such an important lesson to weave into a story for younger viewers. It is literally impossible to shelter them from every crumb of nonsense floating around in the world. So stories like this where relatable kid characters have to undergo a journey of disillusionment aren't just a good idea, they're a necessity. Not everyone you look up to has your best interests at heart. Sometimes they have ulterior motives for wanting you to think a certain way. Sometimes they alter details to suit their own agenda while pretending to be an advisor, confidant, or friend. Sometimes they flat out lie to serve themselves. You have to take what you're told with a grain of salt, filter out personal confirmation bias, and properly vet who's passing on the information (and their possible motives for doing so) to determine whether or not their words can be trusted.
Again, I'm so impressed with the work the writers have done on this series. I think everyone (including myself) who wants to write for young audiences regardless of medium needs to be paying close attention and taking mental notes. This is how you correctly educate and entertain at the same time
