Disney might have quietly canceled a beloved 'Star Wars' show — despite rating 92% on Rotten Tomatoes
"Star Wars" shows have been in a rough spot lately, but "Skeleton Crew" felt like a rare bright spot when it premiered at the end of last year. The show debuted to rave reviews. It initially scored a 94% "fresh" rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. As of this writing, it still sits at an impressive 92%. Our staff liked it as well. Our own Martin Shore said it was a "refreshing spin on a beloved franchise," and our TV/AV staff writer Ryan Epps also came away impressed. Unfortunately, though, we may have seen the last of "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew." One of the stars of the show is Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Fern, a human girl from the planet At Attin who is integral to the show. If there's a season 2, she'll almost certainly not be coming back. On May 15, Sarah Michelle Gellar jumped on a video call with Armstrong to reveal that she would be the star of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot, which was then posted to Instagram for all to see (h/t Bam Smack Pow). Armstrong taking on a lead role in another series almost certainly precludes her from returning for a potential "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" season 2. It wouldn't be impossible, but it'd be an incredible feat for her to have a starring role in both shows. However, there's not necessarily a need to bring Armstrong's character, Fern, back for a season 2. The show ends in a way that would satisfyingly wrap up Fern's arc, if needed. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Of course, the problem is that the show satisfyingly wrapped up ... well, everything. It could stand on its own as a miniseries, and given that "Star Wars" seems to still be in the process of righting the ship, I think they'll probably leave well enough alone and leave a majority of the "Star Wars" TV shows behind. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

In the Instagram post, Gellar wrote: 'I want to introduce you to @ryankarmstrong. From the moment I saw Ryan's audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side. 'To have that kind of emotional intelligence , and talent, at such a young age is truly a gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room. Welcome to #NewSunnydale.' A post shared by Sarah Michelle (@sarahmgellar) In the video, Gellar told Armstrong: 'I know this process has been hard, and there's been so many parts, with like me being out of the country, and there was just sort of one part of it that I just wanted to ask you, and I wanted to make sure that you were OK with. 'How do you feel about helping me save the world? Do you want to be my chosen one? Will you stand by my side and save the world?' In a post to her social media, Armstrong wrote: 'I'm so beyond thankful and excited to share that I am going to be apart of the BTVS universe!!!

'I would never ever be here without you guys. thank you (director) Chloe Zhao for trusting me, I'm such a fan,' she added. 'I'm still in so much shock and disbelief.' In the comment section, David Boreanaz, who played vampire Angel in the TV series, said: 'Congratulations and Welcome! Enjoy the ride'. Armstrong, 15, has starred in TV series including American Horror Story and Anne With An E. In February, Gellar said she was 'on the path' to reviving Buffy The Vampire Slayer alongside a team of 'four unbelievably talented women'. The series, created by writer and director Joss Whedon, saw Gellar play Buffy Summers, one of a long line of young women chosen by fate to battle supernatural forces in the fictional US town of Sunnydale. The programme also starred Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg, James Marsters as Spike and British star Anthony Head as Rupert Giles. The show's success led to a spin-off series for vampire Angel, played by Boreanaz. Gellar has also starred in 1990s movies Cruel Intentions and I Know What You Did Last Summer and plays the boss of fictional serial killer Dexter Morgan in a new prequel series.
