starring AniMate’s Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Story
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leaves them stranded in a strange and dangerous galaxy in “Skeleton Crew.” And more stars from a galaxy far, far away… The holographic circus entertaining Neel’s little brothers is the same one Chewbacca’s family watches in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
I’m longing for some good, mature, epic Star Wars content
Like most ’80s kids, I have fond memories of The Goonies, but I’d be lying if I said this was the direction I was desperate for new Star Wars content to go. I mean, after the sequel trilogy and so many other disappointments – I’d rate all of Disney’s live-action content, with the exception of Andor, Rogue One, and the first two seasons of Mando, as somewhere between mediocre and bad.
Give me a show like Andor, set in the Old Republic, with Jedi, Sith, and Nick Gillard as a stunt coordinator for lightsaber battles
It’s not offensive or poorly made; it’s certainly not cheap like Boba Fett’s book; it’s not aimless like Mando Season 3; it’s not revealing news like sequels and Kenobi; they’re not tone deaf like Acolyte. Hate?
This is basically Star Wars Goonies, a beautiful story about a bunch of kids who go on adventures in the Star Wars universe
The writing is decent so far (from Episode 2 onwards): the effects, costumes, and locations look great: there’s a certain charm to everything. I suspect that this, like Andor, is a passion project for its creators and that the higher-ups thought it was a small side project, so they didn’t bother to intervene, which is Lucasfilm’s blessing at the moment.
So far so good75/10
