Jude Law in “Skeleton Crew”; and more stars from a distant galaxy
Synopsis
Four children make a mysterious discovery on their home planet, which causes them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s young siblings is the same one that Chewbacca’s family watches in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
Featured in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Like most ’80s kids, I have fond memories of The Goonies, but I’d be lying if I said this was the direction I desperately wanted for new Star Wars content, after the sequel trilogy and the disappointment of many other – all Disney – live-action- content aside, Andor, Rogue One, and the first two seasons of Mando I’d rate between mediocre and bad – I just want some good adult, epic Star Wars content. Give me a show like Andor set in the Old Republic with Jedi, Sith and Nick Gillard as stunt coordinator for lightsaber battles.
It’s not offensive or poorly done; clearly not cheap, like The Book of Boba Fett; not aimless like Mando Season 3; not lore-breaking like the sequels and Kenobi; not deaf like the Acolyte
The writing so far (from episode 2) is decent: the effects, costumes and locations look great: the whole thing has its own charm, I think this is a passion project like Andor for its creators and was seen as such A small side project from the higher ups who therefore didn’t bother to get involved, which is what Lucasfilm is today blessing. 7.5/10..
