Insider sources reveal the show's creator, Jon Favreau, is a die-hard fan of the much-maligned 1999 film 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace', and has woven subtle nods and references throughout the series.
Despite its divisive reputation, 'The Phantom Menace' is said to be a key inspiration for Skeleton Crew's coming-of-age narrative and the world-building of the Jedi Order, giving the series a fresh perspective on the iconic franchise.
