Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leaves them lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in "Skeleton Crew" plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s little siblings is the same as Chewbacca’s family hour in the infamous El especial navideño de la Guerra de las Galaxias (1978) ).. Featured in AniMat Crazy Cartoon Cast: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022). Like most kids from the 80s, I have fond memories of The Goonies, but I’d be lying if I said it was the direction I desperately wanted new Star Wars content to take. I mean, after the disappointment of the sequel trilogy, others — all of Disney’s live-action content, except for Andor, Rogue One, and the first two seasons of Mando, are mediocre to bad — I’m just starving for good, mature, epic Star Wars content. Give me an Andor-like show set in the Old Republic with Jedi, Sith, and Nick Gillard as a stunt coordinator for the lightsaber battles. HOWEVER… to be fair, Skeleton Crew is okay. It’s not offensive or poorly made; it’s not blatantly cheap like the Boba Fett book; it’s not pointless like Mando season 3; it’s not story-busting like the sequels and Kenobi; it’s not tone-deaf like Acolyte. Hooray? It’s basically Star Wars Goonies, a neat little story about a bunch of kids adventuring in the Star Wars universe. The writing so far (from episode 4 onwards) is decent: the effects, costumes and locations look great: there’s a certain charm to it all. I suspect that like Andor, this is a passion project for its creators, and is seen as a minor side project by the upper echelons, who therefore didn’t bother to get involved, which is a blessing in Lucasfilm these days. So far so good. 7.5/10.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December calendar for more details!
