Jude Law in « Skeleton Crew »; and more stars from a galaxy far, far away
Chronology
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that sends them 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 AniMate’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
I watched the first two episodes, and while there’s clearly an attempt to create a « space crooks » show here, what’s so wrong with that? This is a much different take on the story of the Star Wars universe.
The town they’re from reminded me more of ET’s neighborhood than anything we’ve seen in recent shows
I enjoyed the look of what a suburban town looks like in this world, because we’ve never seen one like it. The four main characters are typical but enjoyable, each with a clearly defined role in the group, and the actors play them well.
If this was a movie from the 80s, it would have fit right in
The pirate vibe isn’t necessarily something we’ve seen played out before, and it adds a bit of a scary element and a dangerous vibe. I’m enjoying it so far for the new storytelling elements in the Star Wars universe, the nostalgic nods to the movies from my childhood, and the fact that I can share this Star Wars experience with my kids.
