Skeleton Key Nods to Star Tours and Captain EO
Skeleton Key hosts a number of Easter Eggs that go back to the Disney Parks…

The new series Star Wars: Skeleton Key, streaming now on Disney+, has given easter egg hunters quite a bit to enjoy in only two episodes. Since Skeleton Crew itself is an homage to adventure films from the 1980s, it only makes sense that they keep pulling from that era of Lucasfilm, from Star Tours to Captain EO to the lovable Ewoks, let’s take a closer look!



RX Droid

With his first appearance in 1987’s Star Tours at Disneyland Park, voiced by Paul Reubens, the droid has gone on to appear in the animated series Star Wars: Rebels as well the live action series The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian. In Skeleton Crew, the droid is a frustrated bus driver for the kids… the back of his head covered with wads of chewed gum.

Fuzzball

First appeared in the 1986 George Lucas produced Captain EO film starring Michael Jackson, Fuzzball is the brightly orange-colored creature that fluttered about but also played the bass. In Skeleton Crew, a group of Fuzzballs were trapped in a cage at the pirate Starport Borgo.

Teek aka Dinghy Driver

A creature known as a Teek is seen ferrying visitors from the docking area to Starport Borgo in Skeleton Crew. But we first met Teek in 1985’s Ewoks: Battle for Endor before seeing him in the safety video for Star Tours in 1987.
