This places Star Wars: Skeleton Crew ahead of every other Star Wars series with the exception of Andor, which also shares a 96% Certified Fresh Rating.

Huh... From the trailer I was under the impression it's some garbage kids show, like that terrible TWD spin-off.

It's definitely aimed at a younger audience, but it isn't a kids show. It's kids on an adventure, like the Goonies.

I mean this feel like that's different, but I'm willing to hear you out.

To me, at best, it's a kids show that isn't suitable for kids (like the mentioned TWD spin-off). I really don't see appeal in watching a group of kids going on some "adventures". That sounds mind numbingly boring, if not straight up obnoxious. It's rare for me to even be able to bear with child actors, let alone having to bear with the stupid antics of their child characters.

I tried watching that bad batch show but they stuck a kid in the main protagonist role and it was just lame as nuts, so sad

That had been my impression too. Might have to give it a watch now.

So if Obiwan is 86 and Skeleton is 96, that makes it about 11% better than awful?

So the thing is, you're trying to compare apples to oranges using a numbered scale. TV just doesn't work that way.

A show is ultimately rated in a way that doesn't translate to another show.

It's a joke criticizing the rotten tomatoes rating system.
