What’s unclaimsies and how badly does it break the lore?
Skeleton Crew is set in the world of children as much as it’s set in the world of Star Wars, and is concerned as much with pirate lore as it is Star Wars lore. “Claimsies” and “unclaimsies” is just “finders, keepers!” and another child’s attempt to reverse that.
There’s a key moment in the show where it combines those two concepts - the made-up words and rules of children, with the made-up words and rules of pirates -
spoiler for episode 7
A droid decides that a call of “unclaimsies” is “close-enough” to pirate lore that it will let them re-take a ship that’s been commandeered by a pirate.

It’s all very delightful.
Very very delightful. You could rip out star wars out of the thing and it would still make sense. I love it
