Jude Law in «Skeleton Crew» and more stars from a galaxy far, far away
Line of Events
Four children make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads to them becoming lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s young siblings is the same one Chewbacca’s family sees in the infamous «Star Wars Holiday Special» (1978).
Seen in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Like most kids of the ’80s, I have fond memories of «The Goonies,» but I’d be lying if I said I was desperate for new Star Wars content in that direction. I mean, after the disappointment of the sequel trilogy and many others – I’d rate all of Disney’s live-action films except Andor, Rogue One, and the first two seasons of Mando as mediocre to bad – I’m just hungry for good, mature, epic Star Wars content.
to be fair, I have to say that «Skeleton Crew» is OK
Give me an Andor-like show set in the Old Republic, with Jedi, Sith, and Nick Gillard as the stunt coordinator for the lightsaber fights. BUT…
One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month
It’s not offensive or poorly made, not obviously cheap like «The Book of Boba Fett,» not aimless like season 3 of Mando, not violating lore like the sequels and Kenobi, not as insensitive as the Acolyte.Hooray?This is basically Star Wars Goonies, a nice little story about a couple of kids having an adventure in the Star Wars universe. The script is decent so far (from episode 2 onwards): effects, costumes and locations look great: the whole thing has a certain charm.I suspect that, much like Andor, this is a passion project of its creators and was seen as a small side project by the higher-ups, who therefore didn’t bother to interfere, which is a blessing at Lucasfilm these days.So far, so good.7.5/10..
